4.14.2 Engine Run Signal (D+ Alternative)
Give Away Engine-run Signal Connector (Passenger side)
WARNING: Do not cut into the
alternator wires or use the alternator
as a source to obtain a 'D+ Signal'
The Engine Run Signal will only support the basic
vehicle system.
Vehicles built from August 2006 will have a
suitable ‘give-away’ connector (6.3mm flat blade
receptacle) in the main vehicle harness. This is
located on the passenger side and can be
accessed by dropping the glove box.
Most early-build vehicles do not have this
connector. In such instances, for engine run (C4-7
on the central Junction Box), there is a dedicated
terminal (pin 16) on the passenger-door loom /
main loom in-line connector available to energize
a relay (maximum one (1) relay). A T-piece
harness (6C1V-14A411-F*) is available from your
Local Ford Dealer to fit between the door / main
loom in-line connector. If the vehicle does not
have this fitted as a factory-fitted option
(campers, for example, do have this pre-fitted),
one way to install this is:
•
Remove the passenger side mirror on the
using a long-reach M8 socket (note: right hand
drive vehicles use shear bolts that will need to
be replaced)
•
Pull out the flexible grommet between the
body and the door, including the connector
shroud behind it.
•
The connector between the main vehicle
harness (14401) and the door jumper harness
(14A631) Can now be pulled through and
disconnected
•
The T-piece jumper harness can be inserted
between the two connectors and pushed
back into the body.
•
Drop the glove box fully by depressing the side
detents – the single lead with connector
(6.3mm male terminal) can be pulled through
a square hole in the body-side inner panel,
behind the flexible grommet
•
Re-fitment of the flexible grommet and door
mirror is the reverse of the above process,
noting that new shear bolts will be necessary
for right hand drive vehicle, part number
W712939-S422.
This engine run signal is ground switching (max.
current sink 200mA), for example it provides no
positive output and is only active under the
following conditions:
•
Ignition on
•
Engine running at normal idle
•
Alternator giving output
•
System voltage about 9 volts
