No, it has a relay in the engine compartment.
Power Control Module
PCM means Powertrain Control Module A relay is a low voltage switch
In the power distribution box, in the engine compartment of a 1997 Explorer, (PD BOX IS LIVE - DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY CABLES ) in location # 2 there is a 30 amp maxi-fuse for the PCM power relay in location # 11 there is a 20 amp maxi-fuse for the PCM MEMORY and horn Relay# 5 is the PCM POWER RELAY and diode # 2 is the PCM DIODE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your fuse panel - visible with the driver's door open location # 13 - 15 amp fuse - for PCM system/stoplamps/AWD/ABS/speed control/ trailer tow location # 19 - 25 amp fuse - for PCM system/ ignition coil
Powertrain control module
The PCM relay is relay # 4 in your power distribution box in the engine compartment , also in the PD BOX in location # 6 is a 10 amp mini-fuse for the powertrain control module and in location # 8 is a 30 amp mini-fuse for the PCM relay . Ford recommends disconnecting your battery before servicing fuses/relays in the PD BOX which means your Ranger has to re-learn its idle etc.
The FUSE for the Powertrain Control Module ( PCM ) power relay is maxi - fuse # 10 - 30 amp located in the Power Distribution Box in the engine compartment ( on the drivers side , near firewall ) Ford recommends disconnecting your battery cables before servicing anything in the PD BOX Also , in the PD BOX , mini-fuse # 6 - 10 amp - powertrain Control Module RELAY # 4 ( in the PD BOX ) is the PCM power relay --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. In the passenger compartment fuse panel ( on the drivers end of the dash - the fuse panel cover is visible with the drivers door open ) mini - fuse # 19 - 25 amp - is for the PCM power diode
The power control module (PCM) is the brain of the vehicles engine functions. The relay is a module as part of its power supply circuit.
In the Power Distribution Box ( which is " live " ) in the engine compartment : Mini fuse # 1 is a 30 amp fuse for the PCM relay Mini fuse # 2 is a 10 amp fuse for the PCM and front electronics module Mini fuse # 5 is a 15 amp fuse for the PCM and fuel pump motor
The Powertrain Control Module is the vehicle's computer
In the power distribution box in your engine compartment ( Ford suggests disconnecting your battery before servicing anything in the PD BOX which means your Explorer will have to relearn its idle , clock and radio stations will have to be reset etc ) # 6 - 10 amp MINI FUSE for the powertrain control module # 10 - 30 amp MAXI FUSE for the powertrain control module ( PCM ) power relay # 4 RELAY - is the PCM POWER RELAY according to the owners manual
P1389, no asd relay voltage at the PCM. Causes include blown fuse, bad relay, broken wires, bad PCM.
