Options (Ford)
The Options function lets you test the function of the
output relays and lets you do a “wiggle” test to check
for intermittent breaks in circuitry. This section
includes the following procedures:
• Output State (below)
• Idle Air Adjust

Output State
The Output State test does a KOEO self test (see

relays by pressing and releasing the vehicle’s accel-
