Check Electrical Signal Operation Disconnect transaxle harness connector. Inspect condition of connector and repair as needed. Using DVOM, connect positive lead to transaxle harness connector terminal No. 7. Connect negative lead to terminal No. 3. While monitoring DVOM, press START and STOP to cycle solenoid output on and off. If voltage changes at least .5 volt,
If voltage is unaffected, go to next step.
Check Continuity Of Solenoid Signal & VPWR Harness Circuits - Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect PCM 104-pin connector, and inspect it for damaged pins, corrosion and loose wires. Repair as necessary. Install breakout box, leaving PCM disconnected. Measure and record resistance between breakout box test pin No. 82 on Windstar and 1997 Sable and Taurus (test pin No. 54 on 1998 Sable and Taurus) and transaxle harness connector terminal No. 3. Measure and record resistance between test pins No. 71 and 97 and transaxle harness connector terminal No. 7. If any resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open circuit
