on-plug ignition system. The cylinder block is made of aluminum and the bearing caps are
integrated into the ladder assembly. An aluminum oil pan bolts to the bottom of the lower
cylinder block and to the transmission to provide greater strength. The camshafts are mounted in
the cylinder heads and act against valve tappets to open and close the valves. The camshafts are
driven off the front of the cylinder head by one timing chain. The chain is driven by a sprocket
that is located on the crankshaft. The piston assembly is an aluminum piston with a cast iron
connecting rod. The oil pump is driven by the crankshaft via a dedicated chain that is driven by
the same sprocket that drives the timing chain.
Identification
Always refer to these labels when installation of new parts is necessary, or when checking engine
calibrations. The engine parts often differ within a CID family. Verification of the identification
codes will make sure that the correct parts are obtained. These codes contain all the pertinent
information relating to the dates, optional equipment and revisions. The Ford Master Parts
Catalog contains a complete listing of the codes and their application.
Code Information
The engine code information label, located on the side of the valve cover and the front side of the
valve cover, contains the following.
Engine build date
Engine plant code
Engine code
Exhaust Emission Control System
Operation and necessary maintenance of the exhaust emission control devices used on this engine
are covered in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
Induction System
The sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI) provides the fuel/air mixture needed for combustion
in the cylinders. The 4 solenoid-operated fuel injectors:
are mounted in the intake manifold.
meter fuel into the air intake stream in accordance with engine demand.
are positioned so that their tips direct fuel just ahead of the engine intake valves.
are connected in series with the fuel pressure sensor.
supply fuel from the fuel tank with a fuel pump mounted in the fuel tank.

A constant fuel pressure is maintained across the fuel injectors by the fuel pressure sensor. The
fuel pressure sensor:
is positioned upstream from the fuel injectors on the fuel injection supply manifold.
Lubrication System
The engine lubrication system operates as follows:
Oil is drawn into the oil pump through the oil pump screen cover and tube in the sump of the
oil pan.
Oil is pumped through the oil filter on the left front side of the cylinder block.
Oil enters the main galley where it is distributed to the crankshaft main journals and to the
cylinder head.
From the main journals, the oil is routed through cross-drilled passages in the crankshaft to
lubricate the connecting rod bearings. Controlled leakage through the crankshaft main
bearings and connecting rod bearings is slung radially outward to cool and lubricate the
cylinder walls, as well as the entire connecting rod, piston and piston ring assembly.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
ENGINE
Refer to ENGINE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article for basic mechanical
concerns or refer to INTRODUCTION -- HYBRID ENGINES article for driveability
concerns.
GENERAL PROCEDURES
VALVE CLEARANCE CHECK
1. Remove the valve cover. For additional information, refer to Valve Cover.
2. Remove the 5 bolts, the pin-type retainer (not shown) and the RH splash shield.
To install, tighten to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).
Fig. 2: Right Splash Shield Bolts

3. Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance of each valve and record its location.
NOTE: Turn the engine clockwise only, and only use the crankshaft
bolt.
NOTE: Before removing the camshafts, measure the clearance of each
valve at base circle, with the lobe pointed away from the
tappet. Failure to measure all clearances prior to removing the
camshafts will necessitate repeated removal and installation
and wasted labor time.

4. Select tappets using this formula: tappet thickness = measured clearance + the base tappet
thickness - most desirable thickness.
Select the tappets and mark the installation location.
5. If any tappets do not measure within specifications, install new tappets in these locations.
For additional information, refer to Valve Train Components - Exploded View and
Valve Tappets.
IN-VEHICLE SERVICING
INTAKE MANIFOLD
NOTE: The number on the valve tappet only reflects the digits that
follow the decimal. For example, a tappet with the number
0.650 has the thickness of 3.650 mm.
NOTE: A midrange clearance is the most desirable:
Intake: 0.22-0.28 mm (0.008-0.011 in)
Exhaust: 0.27-0.33 mm (0.010-0.013 in)

CAUTION: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without
first installing the special tools as instructed in this
procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing
sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the
crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by
friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on
each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also
unfastened if you loosen the pulley bolt. Before any repair
requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt,
the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the
special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can
occur.
CAUTION: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely
important. Any foreign material, including any material
created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil
passages, coolant passages or the oil pan can cause engine
failure.

CAUTION: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without
first installing the special tools as instructed in this
procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing
sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the
crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by
friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on
each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also
unfastened if you loosen the pulley bolt. Before any repair
requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt,
the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the
special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can
occur.
CAUTION: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely
important. Any foreign material (including any material
created while cleaning gasket surfaces) that enters the oil
passages, coolant passages or the oil pan can cause engine
failure.

CAUTION: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without
first installing the special tools as instructed in this
procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing
sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the
crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by
friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on
each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also
unfastened if you loosen the pulley bolt. Before any repair
requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt,
the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the
special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can
occur.
CAUTION: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely
important. Any foreign material, including any material
created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil
passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine
failure.

CAUTION: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without
first installing the special tools as instructed in this
procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing
sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the
crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by
friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on
each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also
unfastened if you loosen the pulley bolt. Before any repair
requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt,
the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the
special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can
occur.
CAUTION: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely
important. Any foreign material, including any material
created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil
passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine
failure.
NOTE: Early build engines are equipped with an oil pump drive chain
guide. Late build engines do not have an oil pump drive chain
guide. Also, late build engines use an updated design for the oil
pump drive chain and tensioner. Therefore, the oil pump drive
components are not interchangeable between early build and late
build engines.
CAUTION: Failure to position the No. 1 piston at top dead center

TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ENGINE EMISSION CONTROL
The engine emission control system consists of the:
positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system.
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System
The PCV system uses intake manifold vacuum to ventilate blow-by fumes from the crankcase and
return the fumes to the intake manifold for combustion. The PCV valve varies the amount of
blow-by gases returned to the intake manifold based on available engine vacuum. The PCV valve
also prevents the entry of combustion backfiring into the crankcase.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation
The EGR system returns a small amount of exhaust gas into the intake manifold. This reduces the
overall combustion temperature. Cooler combustion temperatures provide a significant reduction

Crankcase vent oil separator bolts 10 - 89
Motor electronics coolant pump bolts 7 - 62
CAUTION: Do not remove any part of the engine emission control
system. Operating the engine without the engine emission
control system intact will reduce fuel economy and engine
ventilation. This will weaken engine performance and shorten
engine life.

The engine incorporates a stepper motor-controlled EGR valve which receives its signal from the
PCM. Engine coolant is used to cool the EGR valve. The EGR valve and stepper motor are
serviced as an assembly.
The amount of recirculated exhaust gas depends on:
engine rpm.
intake manifold vacuum.
exhaust backpressure.
engine coolant temperature.
throttle position.

NOTES:
The footnotes are referenced throughout the Typical Diagnostic Reference Value Charts. A letter
in parentheses next to a value indicates supplemental information is applicable.
The Typical Diagnostic Reference Value Charts do not display fault PIDs. These are PIDs which
indicate a hard fault with the circuit. They display a value of YES or NO and are PIDs ending
with an F.
The Typical Diagnostic Reference Value Charts do not display limited operating strategy (LOS)
PIDs. These are PIDs which indicate what LOS mode that vehicle is in. They display a value of
YES or NO.
Reference values may vary +/-20%, depending on operating conditions and other factors. RPM
values are axle and tire dependent.
For the downstream heated exhaust gas oxygen (HO2S12) sensor, greater activity will result
when the catalyst monitor is active.
Refer to the ACRONYMS AND DEFINITIONS for technical terms applicable to Ford Motor
Company products.
Refer toPARAMETER IDENTIFICATION (PID) , for PID descriptions.

A. A/C on.
B. Cooling fan on (single, low or high speed).
C. The heated exhaust gas oxygen sensors (HO2S) should switch from rich to lean at least once
every 3 seconds. The HO2S voltage should toggle above and below 0.450 DCV and never
be a negative value. Valid HO2S switching only occurs during closed loop fuel control.
D. The downstream HO2S will stay close to a constant voltage when the catalyst monitor is off
(positive value only). When the catalyst monitor is on, HO2S will switch rich to lean above
and below 0.450 DCV and never be a negative value.
E. Brake pedal applied.
F. Ignition key in START position.
G. Value is dependent upon ambient air temperature and may fall outside of range.
H. Gear selector in PARK position.
I. Traction battery power off requested.

traction motor, or a combination of both motors. Excess high voltage current is converted from
high voltage AC to high voltage direct current (DC) electrical power inside the motor generator
unit and transmitted through the high voltage cables. The high voltage DC electrical power is
converted to low voltage DC electrical power through the DC/DC converter. This low voltage
DC electrical power is then supplied to the 12 volt battery through the low voltage battery cables.
12 Volt Battery
The 12 volt battery is a standard automotive battery. It is a DC source connected in a negative
ground system. The battery case is sealed, with 2 vent holes to release gases. The battery has 3
major functions:
Storage of electricity for later use.
Voltage stabilizer for the electrical system.
Temporary power source when electrical loads exceed the DC/DC converter output current.
High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB)
The HVTB is a 216-397 volts DC source connected in a floating ground system. The battery
receives, stores, and delivers high voltage electrical power when required. It contains the battery
control module (BCM), which controls the higher functions of the battery. The BCM also
estimates the state of charge, estimates the power available, and controls the battery temperature.
The BCM controls the battery temperature by activating or deactivating the fans contained within
the HVTB, and by activating or deactivating the air conditioning system for the HVTB. Also
contained within the HVTB is a low voltage charger that is used during the jump start procedure.
For information about the jump start procedure, refer to the Owner Literature.
Motor Generator
The motor generator is contained in the electronically controlled continuously variable
transmission (eCVT). It functions to generate high voltage electricity and as the starter motor.
The motor generator is connected to the HVTB with the high voltage cables. The motor generator
is an internal part of the eCVT and it can not be repaired, only replaced as a new assembly.
DC/DC Converter
The DC/DC converter is a liquid-cooled component that converts high voltage (216-397 volts)
CAUTION: Before placing the vehicle in a paint booth, the HVTB must be
removed to avoid heat damage. Refer to the High-Voltage
Traction Battery (HVTB).

DC power to low voltage (12 volts) DC power while maintaining electrical isolation between the
2 DC power systems. The converter steps down the high voltage to 12 volts, providing power to
the vehicle low voltage battery systems. The PCM controls the operation of the DC/DC converter
through an enable input from the PCM to the DC/DC converter. Refer to HIGH VOLTAGE
CONVERTER/INVERTER article.
Regenerative Brakes
The regenerative braking system is designed to recapture some of the energy from braking. It
accomplishes this through the use of the traction motor and motor generator, which recapture
energy during braking. This recaptured energy is used to charge the HVTB. The regenerative
brake system is a series system. A series system is one in which powertrain braking is used first,
up to the limits of the powertrain torque capacity and battery capacity. After optimum
regeneration is used, the friction brakes are applied to supplement braking demands. The series
regenerative braking system also contains the ABS module within the same unit.

Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS (Escape) or SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS
(Mariner) for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
With the key in the ON position and the engine ON or OFF, the vehicle climate control system is
used to maintain a specific temperature range of the high-voltage traction battery (HVTB). There
are 2 internal fans in the HVTB that circulate climate controlled air within the HVTB so it can
maintain a specific temperature range. A battery compartment thermistor is hardwired to the
HVTB for the battery compartment temperature input. The HVTB also monitors the battery
compartment blend door actuator in order to determine in which direction the HVTB operates
the battery blend door motor. The battery blend door controls whether the air flowing into the
battery compartment is fresh air or recirculated air. A battery thermal expansion solenoid valve
also controls the refrigerant pressure, thereby controlling the incoming air temperature. The ideal
temperature for the HVTB is 25C (77F) with a desired range of 20C (68F) to 30C (86F).
The DTC window is -40C (-40F) to 55C (131F). If the HVTB temperature exceeds 57C
(138F), the vehicle may shut down. If the HVTB temperature varies from this DTC window
range, a DTC may be flagged. Also, a failure of any of the internal HVTB climate control
components/circuitry may cause a DTC to be flagged.

12-Volt Battery - Drain Test
Check for current drains on the battery in excess of 50 milliamps (mA) (0.050 amp) with all the
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the meter, do not crank the engine or
operate accessories that draw more than 10A.
CAUTION: If equipped with the CD6 audio unit, precautions must be
taken when the battery has been disconnected. When
reconnecting the battery, make sure no interruption of power
occurs for 30 seconds. If power is interrupted during the first
30 seconds, permanent damage to the CD6 audio unit will
result.
NOTE: No production vehicle should have more than a 50 milliamp (mA) or
0.050 amp draw with the key in the OFF position.
NOTE: The 12-Volt Battery - Drain Test can not be carried out while the
jump start procedure for the high-voltage battery is being carried
out. Drain testing of the low-voltage battery during a jump start
procedure may result in a failed 12-Volt Battery - Drain Test.
NOTE: Many modules draw 10 mA (0.010 amp) or more continuously.
NOTE: Use an in-line ammeter between the battery positive or negative
post and its respective cable.
NOTE: Typically, a drain of approximately 1 amp can be attributed to an
engine compartment lamp, glove compartment lamp, or interior
lamp staying on continually. Other component failures or wiring
shorts may be located by selectively pulling fuses to pinpoint the
location of the current drain. When the current drain is found, the
meter reading falls to an acceptable level. If the drain is still not
located after checking all the fuses, it may be due to the generator.
NOTE: To accurately test the drain on a battery, an in-line digital ammeter
must be used. Use of a test lamp or voltmeter is not an accurate
method due to the number of electronic modules.

electrical accessories off and the vehicle at rest. Current drains can be tested with the following
procedure:
1. Make sure the battery junction box (BJB) and the smart junction box (SJB) are accessible
without turning on interior and underhood lights.
2. Drive the vehicle at least 5 minutes and over 48 km/h (30 mph) to turn on and exercise the
vehicle systems.
3. Allow the vehicle to sit with the key OFF for at least 40 minutes to allow the modules to
time out/power down.
4. Connect a fused (10A) jumper wire between the negative battery cable and the negative
battery post to prevent the modules from resetting and to catch capacitive drains.
5. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the post without breaking the connection of the
jumper wire.
6. Connect the tester between the negative battery cable and the post. The meter must be
capable of reading milliamps and should have a 10 amp capability.
7. Remove the jumper wire.
8. If the draw is found to be excessive, pull the fuses from the BJB/SJB one at a time and note
the current drop. Do not reinstall the fuses until you are finished testing.
9. Check the wiring schematic in the wiring diagram for any circuits that run from the battery
without passing through the junction boxes. Disconnect these circuits if the draw is still
excessive.
NOTE: It is very important that continuity is not broken between the
battery and the negative battery cable when connecting the
meter. If this happens, the entire procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: If the meter settings need to be switched or the test leads need
to be moved to another jack, the jumper wire must be
reinstalled to avoid breaking continuity.
NOTE: Amperage draw varies from vehicle to vehicle depending on
the equipment package. Compare to a similar vehicle for
reference.
NOTE: No production vehicle should have more than a 50 mA (0.050
amp) draw.

12-Volt Battery - Electronic Drains Which Shut Off When the Battery Cable is Disconnected Test
1. Repeat the steps of the 12-Volt Battery - Drain Test.
2. Make sure all doors are closed and accessories are off. Without starting the engine, turn the
key to ON for a moment and then OFF. Wait a few minutes for the illuminated entry lamps
to turn off, if equipped.
3. Connect the ammeter and read the amperage draw.
The current reading (current drain) should be less than 50 mA (0.050 amp). If the current
drain exceeds 50 mA (0.050 amp) after a few minutes, and if this drain did not show in
previous tests, the drain is most likely caused by an inoperative electronic component. As in
previous tests, remove the fuses from the BJB and the SJB one at a time to locate the
problem circuit.

Ignition switch
When the starter solenoid is energized, a magnetic field is created in the starter solenoid
windings. The iron plunger core is drawn into the starter solenoid coil, and a drive lever and pin
connected to the starter drive engages the drive pinion gear to the flywheel ring gear. When the
plunger is pulled all the way in, its contact disc closes the circuit between the battery and the
motor feed terminals. This sends current to the motor, and the drive pinion gear cranks the
flywheel to start the engine. When current flows to the starter motor, the starter solenoid pull-in
coil is bypassed, and the hold-in coil keeps the drive pinion gear engaged with the flywheel until
the ignition switch is released from the START position.
An overrunning clutch in the starter drive protects the starter motor from excessive speeds during
the brief period before the driver releases the ignition switch from the START position as the
engine starts.
Vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle have a clutch pedal position (CPP) switch mounted on
the clutch pedal bracket. The CPP switch prevents operation of the starter motor unless the clutch
is fully depressed.
Vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle have a transmission range (TR) sensor mounted on
the transaxle. The TR sensor prevents operation of the starter motor unless NEUTRAL or PARK
is selected.

Principles of Operation
Starting System - Anti-Theft Intervention
The starting system is electronically controlled by the passive anti-theft system (PATS). The
PATS recognizes the correct electronically coded ignition key and signals the PCM to provide a
ground for the starter relay. The energized relay provides voltage to the starter solenoid, thereby
allowing the starter motor to activate.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the starting system to duplicate the conditions.
2. Inspect to determine if any of the following mechanical or electrical concerns apply.

Pinpoint Tests
Pinpoint Test A: The Engine Does Not Crank
Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS (Escape) or SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS
(Mariner) for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
Under normal operation, constant power is supplied to the starter relay on circuit 16 (RD/LG).
When the key is placed in the START position, with the vehicle in PARK or NEUTRAL, the TR
sensor (automatic transmission) provides power to the starter relay coil on circuit 1093 (TN/RD).
When the key is placed in the START position, with the vehicle in PARK or NEUTRAL and
with the clutch pedal depressed, the clutch cutoff switch (manual transmission) provides power to
the starter relay coil on circuit 1093 (TN/RD). The PCM provides ground to the starter relay coil
on circuit 32 (RD/LB) to the starter relay. When the coil of the relay is energized, it sends power
to the starter motor on circuit 33 (WH/PK).

Component Tests
Connect the 73III Automotive Meter at the component terminal rather than at the wiring end
connector. Making a connection at the wiring end connector could result in false readings because
the meter will not pick up a high resistance between the wiring connector and the component.
Starter Motor - Motor Feed Circuit
1. Make sure the battery is fully charged. Carry out a battery load test. Refer to BATTERY,
MOUNTING AND CABLES article.
2. Disconnect the inertia fuel shutoff (IFS) switch.
3. Connect a remote starter switch between the starter solenoid S-terminal and the battery
positive (+) terminal.
4. Connect the 73III Automotive Meter positive lead to the battery positive (+) post. Connect
the negative lead to the M-terminal.

5. Engage the remote starter switch. Read and record the voltage. The voltage reading should
be 0.8 volt or less.
6. If the voltage reading is 0.8 volt or less, go to the Starter Motor - Ground Circuit
Component Test.
7. If the voltage reading is greater than 0.8 volt, this is an indication of excessive resistance in
the connections, the positive battery cable or in the starter solenoid. Move the 73III
Automotive Meter negative lead to the starter solenoid B-terminal and repeat the test. If the
voltage reading at the B-terminal is lower than 0.8 volt, the concern is either in the
connections at the starter solenoid or in the solenoid contacts.
8. Remove the cables from solenoid B-, S- and M-terminals. Clean the cables and connections
and reinstall the cables to the correct terminals. Repeat Steps 3 through 6. If the voltage
drop reading is still greater than 0.8 volt when checked at the M-terminal and less than 0.8
volt when checked at the B-terminal, the concern is in the solenoid contacts. Install a new
starter motor.
9. If the voltage reading taken at the solenoid B-terminal is still greater than 0.8 volt after
cleaning the cables and the connections at the solenoid, the concern is either in the positive
(+) battery cable connection or in the positive battery cable itself. Clean the positive (+)
battery cable connection. If this does not solve the problem, install a new positive battery
cable. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES
article.
Starter Motor - Ground Circuit
A slow cranking condition can be caused by resistance in the ground or return portion of the
cranking circuit. Check the voltage drop in the ground circuit as follows:
1. Connect the 73III Automotive Meter positive lead to the starter motor housing (the
connection must be clean and free of rust or grease). Connect the negative lead to the
negative (-) battery terminal.

2. Engage the remote starter switch and crank the engine. Read and record the voltage reading.
The reading should be 0.5 volt or less.
3. If the voltage is more than 0.5 volt, clean the negative cable connections at the battery, the
body ground connections and the starter ground connections. Retest.
4. If the voltage is more than 0.5 volt, install a new cable. If the voltage reading is less than 0.5
volt and the engine still cranks slowly, install a new starter motor.

SPECIFICATIONS
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CLUTCH
The clutch system includes:
flywheel
clutch disc
clutch pressure plate
clutch master cylinder
clutch slave cylinder
hydraulic line
clutch pedal
The clutch system transmits fluid pressure to the slave cylinder, which in turn moves the clutch
diaphragm spring.
The clutch master cylinder uses brake fluid and shares a common reservoir with the brake master
cylinder.
The clutch is a single plate, dry-friction disc with a diaphragm-style spring clutch pressure plate.
The clutch disc has a hub which is splined to the input shaft. The clutch disc has friction material
where it contacts the flywheel and the clutch pressure plate. Torsion springs on the flywheel help
absorb the engine torque pulses. The clutch pressure plate applies pressure to the clutch disc,
holding it tightly against the surface of the flywheel. In the engaged position, the diaphragm
spring holds the clutch pressure plate against the clutch disc, so that engine torque is transmitted
to the input shaft.
When the clutch pedal is pressed, the slave cylinder with an integral release bearing pushes the
diaphragm spring center of the clutch pressure plate toward the flywheel. The diaphragm spring

With the range selector in PARK:
the parking pawl locks the output shaft to the case.
the engine may be started.
the ignition key can be removed.
the ignition switch can be cycled from OFF to START or RUN.
Reverse
With the range selector in REVERSE:
the vehicle may be operated in a rearward direction.
reversing lamps are illuminated.
if the vehicle is not started, there is no reverse gear engagement.

Neutral
With the range selector in NEUTRAL:
no power flows through the transmission.
the output shaft is disengaged from the drive wheels.
Drive
The range selector DRIVE position provides:
low speed driving.
acceleration.
cruise conditions.
deceleration.
maximum fuel economy during normal operation.
If the vehicle is not started, there is no forward gear engagement.
Low
The range selector LOW position provides:
engine braking.
improved traction on slippery roads.
If the vehicle is not started, there is no forward gear engagement.
Shift Interlock System
The shift interlock system prevents a shift out of PARK unless the brake pedal is depressed. The
shift interlock system has a shift lock actuator mounted on the floor shifter assembly. If the
ignition switch is in the RUN position, the shift actuator is continually on unless the brake pedal
is depressed.
External Controls
The external control of the continuously variable transmission (eCVT) is mechanically controlled
by a cable connected to the floor shifter. The floor shifter position determines park, reverse,
neutral, drive, and low modes.

The vehicle uses a pump driven cooling system (referred to as the motor electronics cooling
system) to transfer heat generated by the CVT and the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) battery pack
to the atmosphere. The system uses a coolant-to-air radiator design.
The motor/electronics cooling system has the following components:

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTICS
NOTE: The vacuum hose from the old engine support rear lower insulator
should not be re-used. The new rear lower engine support insulator
does not have a vacuum hose on it. The port will need to be capped
off. If the vehicle has a cap on the upper port of the vacuum
solenoid, the rear lower engine support has already been changed.
