2.
Add a few drops of Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid, PM1-1 or PM-1-C (US), CPM-1-C (Canada), to the fluid
port at the threaded end of the new SCDS. See Figure 5.
NOTICE:
Do not allow any foreign material to enter the master cylinder port once the SCDS is removed.
NOTE:
Call the Special Service Support Center for assistance if brake fluid does not flow from the SCDS fitting when the SCDS is removed.
NOTE:
If the new SCDS is not installed immediately after the original switch is removed, the master cylinder brake fluid could drop below the minimum
level and air could enter the brake system. If this should occur, air must be bled from the brake system at all 4 wheels. In this situation, the labor to
bleed the brake system will not be covered under this program.
3.
Remove the SCDS.
4.
With the brake fluid reservoir cap removed, observe for brake fluid dripping/draining from the SCDS fitting. As soon as brake fluid begins to
bleed from the fitting, install the new SCDS.
5.
Tighten the new SCDS as follows:
^
18 Nm (159 lb-in) - all vehicles except 1994 Capri.
^
13 Nm (115 lb-in) - 1994 Capri.
6.
Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder, fill to maximum fluid level and install the brake fluid reservoir cap.
7.
Disconnect the speed control servo and inspect the vehicle harness connector for heat damage. See Figure 6.
^
If no heat damage is found at the speed control servo connector (even if there is presence of brake fluid in the connector), proceed to the next
step.
^
If the speed control servo connector is heat damaged, call the Special Service Support Center for further instructions.
8.
With the speed control servo disconnected, use shop air only to blow the SCDS harness electrical connector and the servo connector dry of any
trace of brake fluid. Do not use any type of solvent to clean the connectors.
