CAUTION: Hoist the vehicle using only the approved

hoisting points. Never hoist the vehicle by unspecified

suspension components or the Traction Battery tray.

Vehicle damage may result from improper hoisting.

•

Use only side-post hoists, which symmetrically locate the hoist

arms to the vehicle.

– Position the hoist pads only at the approved hoisting points.

– The rear hoist arms should have the pad extension raised to level

out the vehicle on the hoist.

SERVICE PUBLICATION NAVIGATION

•

The service publications for the Ranger Electric Vehicle (EV) are

unique in many ways. When diagnosing and servicing the vehicle,

use the following guidelines:

– Use the Ranger Workshop Manual for diagnosing systems that

are not unique to the Ranger EV.

– Refer to the Ranger Electric Vehicle (EV) Electrical Vacuum

Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) when performing diagnostic

procedures to note the differences in systems that are not unique

to the Ranger EV.

– Differences include fuse feeds, fuse ratings, wiring changes, etc.

•

The format of the Ranger EV workshop manual supplement has

been changed to assist in the diagnosis of vehicle concerns. Note

the following differences when using this manual.

•

The starting point for all diagnostics is Section 100-07, Electric

Vehicle (EV) Diagnostic Direction. Section 100-07 contains the

following sub-sections:

– Diagnostic Preface – This sub-section will spell out several of

the specific changes in the Ranger EV manual in contrast to

other Ford workshop manuals.

– Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) – This sub-section

will provide directions on the correct procedure to follow when

retrieving DTCs. DTC retrieval on EVs is unique, and this sub-

section should be studied carefully before retrieving codes. It

contains valuable information on the correct sequence used to

retrieve DTCs and how to determine if a DTC is valid.

– Diagnostic Process (DP) series of pinpoint tests – These should

be followed whenever initially diagnosing a vehicle concern.

– Inspection and Verification sub-section – This sub-section

provides information on visual inspections and the correct

sections of the workshop manual to refer to when diagnosing a

unique EV system.

– DTC Index – The DTC index contains all DTCs that are

available on the Ranger EV. The index is divided by the modules

that will display them. It will provide information on the test

mode that the DTCs will appear in, a brief description of the

DTC, and the action to take if a DTC is retrieved.

– Parameter Identification (PID) Index – These charts will provide

a definition of the PIDs available in each module. They also give

an expected value for each PID.

– Miscellaneous Diagnostics – These diagnostics refer to DTCs

that are set and relate to the operating condition of the control

modules themselves.

•

When a DTC is retrieved for a system, the DTC index will send

you to the section that pertains to the system that would set that

DTC. If no DTC is set, refer to Section 100-09 for symptom-based

diagnostic direction.

•

If no diagnostics are available in Section 100-09 for a no DTC

concern, turn to the individual section for the component that has

malfunctioned.

•

When in a specific section, you should first look in the symptom

chart.

•

There is no separate DTC index in each section for the system with

the concern. The DTCs have been added to the symptom charts to

provide direction to the appropriate pinpoint test.

•

A special tool chart precedes the pinpoint tests.
