Section 5.3 RPM PROGRAMMING MODE
Programmable engine speed ranges from a minimum of 1200 RPM to a maximum of 2500 RPM.
The four RPM memories are preset at four intermediate values within the operating range.
These memory presets can be changed in RPM Programming mode or while RPM Control is activated.
Section 5.3.1 MENU OVERVIEW FOR RPM PROGRAMMING MODE
To start programming, press the [RPM CONTROL] and [FORD] keys simultaneously for 3 seconds.
You'll see 2 lights blink, and the engine speed stored in Memory #1 is displayed. (This is Menu A.)
If you want to change the RPM memory values, Menu A matters to you:
1. The current saved value for Memory #1 is displayed on the screen.
2. To select another memory location, press [FORD] and the [ARROW] key simultaneously.
3. Use [ARROW] keys to adjust the speed until the desired RPM is reached.
4. Press [FORD] key to enter and save new engine speed.
5. Press [FORD] key twice to return to Menu 1 and select another memory location. (Go back to Step 1)
To Exit the RPM Programming Mode
•
Press the [RPM CONTROL] and [FORD] key simultaneously for 3 seconds
•
OR Press the [POWER] key.
If you want to change how fast the engine speed ramps up, Menu B matters to you.
(for example, a slow rate of increase for clutch durability, or a fast rate for time efficiency)
The second menu allows the initial ramp up rate to be modified. The up ramp rate is how fast the engine ramps up
to the desired speed. The default value is displayed as "88", meaning it ramps up to the desired elevated idle at a
rate of 500 RPM/second. This default value is adequate for most applications. Refer to Section 9 "Engine Speed
Ramp Rate Table" for specific rate values.
The initial ramp up rate is modifiable with the [ARROW] keys. To save the new ramp up rate modifications, the
[FORD] key must be pressed to enter and save the changes.
Menu C should not be reprogrammed:
The third step in RPM programming mode is to adjust the down ramp rate. The down ramp rate is used to help
correct overshoots in engine RPM. Because overshoots are best corrected with the Powertrain Control Module,
this value should not be re-programmed, and should be left at "I" level or lower.
Any RPM memory preset can be also changed while in RPM CONTROL is activated.
After adjusting to the desired RPM value with the ARROW keys,
press and hold the [FORD] key and the
[TOP ARROW] key simultaneously for three (3) seconds
to save
the new preset value.
