"I would bet that half of the mechanics at a Ford/ Lincoln dealership never knew that these test parameters ever existed." We have to know them. Its not optional. We get sent to factory training every few months. On top of that, we just can't fix the vehicle however we want, even if you get it right. Your entire diagnostic session has to be documented and follow the diag procedures that Ford sets for that particular job. They're checked and if you missed any steps, or did something that Ford doesn't approve of, the RO will get kicked right back to the dealership, and they won't get paid for the work. That said, its not too bad. Ford has very specific diag information for just about every conceivable job you may get yourself into. Basically, you get step by step instructions for both diag and repair procedures. Even if you have little to no experience doing a specific job, as long as you follow the instructions listed in the workshop manual, you'll get it right 95% of the time. And if you're still having issues, you can contact Ford directly, and they have people that will try and help you. If all that fails, and you still can't resolve the issue, Ford will send an engineer to the shop. But the main thing is, you really can't cheat. Ford has too many things in place to check your work. Your only option is to do everything by the book. As far as Rich goes, he's way better than most techs. If he wants do stay with Ford, but not work for a dealer, 99% Ford would hire him directly and have him teach or make him a field service engineer. Those are jobs where they only hire the very best. You have to be.

A/D = analog to digital converter, and counts generally refer to the instantaneous value of the input. The instantaneous counts divided by the maximum counts will give you what percentage of the input range the sample currently is. If the battery one is a 10 bit A/D, it will have a range of 0-1023, so a value of ~610 will be about 60% of that range. This would make sense for a 0-20v input range, and would correspond to ~11.9 volts. How's that, clear as mud? Thanks for the easter egg!

One handy test is to go into that mode without the engine starting, then go to voltage and note your at rest voltage, then do a flood mode start and see what the battery drops to during a cranking cycle, then release pedal and let engine start and see the voltage during the start cycle. Can help to diagnose weak battery.

I have a question. What's the protocol for when you diagnose? I had a Taurus SHO. Low load misfire but it could only be felt. No codes. I took it in and they wouldn't even look at it without codes. I went home, frustrated, and found a spark plug with carbon tracking. Very easy. Why don't dealer techs even check simple things anymore? Just a "no" if there's not a code. No checking the basic things, fuel, spark, air. If it's reasonable. I understand spark plugs can be buried, etc. But if they're easy, why not?
