2001 supercrew and I been having trouble with the locks not going down I have to push them a few times to get down all the way. How hard is it to install new controllers. It is the same on both sides, when I hit the button. The Ford shops wants $150.00 just to tell me what it is. I looked at where this is behind the door panel and it looks hard. Ive done my odometer fix 2 years ago. so I can do it I think, just need pointers. My emergence brake light is out also someone told me it is the switch at the pedal , is that a hard thing to fix. Bob

 

By emergency brake light do you mean the 3rd brake light?

 

Do you have the factory RKE installed ?

Are all the door locks acting the same at the same time ?

and the same questions as ELVATO, what do you mean by emergency brake light ? I read this as the parking brake indicator on the dash ( manual calls it the Brake system warning ). The owners manual shows this as the parking brake is on, or if it stays on after release, indicates low fluid or other system error.

 

I mean the dash light when you put on the e brake.

 

I don't know what RKE is, and just the front doors seen to have trouble, Yes it is the parking brake indicator on dash. It dosnt go on when I put on park brake. Thanks Bob

 

my dad has the same issue on his 2000 extended cab i'm curious to see how hard it is to fix myself... we did the stupid heater door fix awhile back not sure it could be any worse than that PITA... some pics would be great as well....

 

OK.

Power Door locks are having an issue with the lock direction on the front 2 door, rear door work correctly.
- This shows as lock actuator to me.

The RKE is Remote Kelyess Entry, but NA question with the bit of info on which doors are having the issue, vs the 1st post which read as all 4 doors.

The parking brake light on the cluster does not go on, could be the bulb or the switch on the brake.

DTM on the cluster should illuminate it in the bulb setting so you have tell which way to go

Activating Test Mode

To enter the HEC Dealer test mode, depress and hold the instrument cluster SELECT/RESET button, turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, and then continue pressing the SELECT/RESET button (5 seconds) until tESt is displayed in the odometer. The SELECT/RESET button must be released within 3 seconds of the odometer tESt display to begin the dealer test mode.

Depress the SELECT/RESET button to advance through the following steps until dtc is displayed. Depressing the SELECT/RESET button will display any stored continuous DTCs before proceeding to the next step.

GAGE
Activates gauge sweep of all gauges, then displays present gauge values. Also carries out the checksum tests on ROM and EE. If the gauge sweep is inoperative, INSTALL a new instrument cluster.

All segments illuminated
lluminates all odometer segments. If any odometer segment is inoperative INSTALL a new instrument cluster.

bulb
lluminates all micro-controlled indicators and LEDs. Install a new indicator or LED as necessary.

r
eturns to normal operation of all micro-controlled indicators and LEDs and displays hexadecimal value for ROM level. (used when requesting assistance from the hotline). If alternating flashes for FAIL and ROM level are displayed, INSTALL a new instrument cluster.

EE
Displays the hexadecimal value for EE level (used when requesting assistance from hotline). If alternating flashes of FAIL and EE level are displayed replace instrument cluster.

dt
Displays hexadecimal coding of final manufacturing test date (used when requesting assistance from hotline).

dtc
Displays continuous DTC's in hexadecimal format. Pressing the SELECT/RESET button will display any DTCs stored before proceeding to the next step.

enG
Displays the English speed in MPH. Speedometer will indicate present speed within tolerances. Display will show 0 if input in not received. If input is invalid for one second or more, or if speed is 0.

m
Displays the metric speed data in kph. Speedometer will indicate present speed within tolerances. Display will show 0 if input in not received. If input is invalid for one second or more, or if speed is 0.

tAc
Displays the tachometer data received from the PCM via the SCP network within tolerances. Tachometer will indicate present RPM. Display will show 0 if input is no received, if input received is invalid for one second or more, or if engine RPM is 0.

FUEL
Displays the code (0-255) for the fuel sender input to the HEC. The fuel gauge will display a filtered fuel level value. This filter will keep the pointer from moving suddenly or erratically.
255 open send +/- 0
232 full stop +/- 0
215 Full mark +/- 10
178 3/4 mark +/- 8
138 1/2 mark +/- 7
93 1/4 mark +/- 5
41 E mark +/- 4
54 Low Fuel (0-59)
0-18 short (0-20 max)

OIL
Displays the code (0-250) for the oil pressure switch input to the HEC. Oil pressure gauge will indicate present oil pressure. Normal oil pressure (greater than 6psi) will display a value between 000 and 176. A low oil pressure or an inoperative engine oil pressure switch (less than 6 psi) will display a value greater than 176.

dEGC
Display of engine temperature in Degrees C input from cylinder head temperature sensor.
49 C "C" mark
60 C Normal band start
120 C Normal band end
-40 C No SCP message for 5 seconds

bAtt
Displays the code (0-255) for the battery voltage input to the HEC. Battery voltage gauge will indicate present battery voltage.
93-102 6.2-9.1 volts, low voltage
115-124 8.5-10.7 volts, Normal band start
215-225 15.8-18 volts, Norm band end
230-241 16.9-19.1 volts, high voltage

rhEo
Displays the present decimal rheostat dimming input, 0-255 (used when requesting assistance from the hotline)

rhi
not used

rhS
not used

rho
not used

Cr
Displays the current RUN/START sense input. Display will show -h for high input with the ignition switch in the START position and -L for low input with the ignition switch in the RUN position.

PA-PE7
not used

GAGE
Repeats the display cycle

Thanks SSCULLY for that Info. but when I start my truck all the lights come on, and I fixed my Odometer a while back and I put new bulbs in. The brake light comes on for a few seconds. So I'm thinking it is down at the parking brake pedal. Im a nail pounder , but I think I can fix it, I just need someone who has done it. I took auto shop 73 74 its been a while. Bob Puyallup WA.
