Cylinder (Cyl) Balance Test (EEC-IV Vehicles)
✓
The Cyl Balance Test is only applicable to engines equipped with EEC-IV
Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection (SEFI or SFI) .
The Cyl Balance Test identifies a weak cylinder(s) on EEC-IV vehicles. A weak
cylinder may be caused by low compression, poor valve seating, fouled spark
plugs, damaged fuel injectors, and other cylinder faults. The PCM shuts off the
fuel supply to each cylinder and measures the RPM drop. The PCM then cal-
culates variations between cylinders thus identifying the weak ones.
Exhaust gases are harmful or lethal. Always operate vehi-
cle in a well-ventilated area.
The Cyl Balance Test is done with the engine running. Do
not over-rev engine. Observe all safety precautions.
Select Cyl Balance Test from the Ford
