Cylinder Balance Test

The cylinder balance test is an aid in servicing the 5.0L SEFI fuel system by energizing and de-energizing each injector separately. This test mode is entered after all codes have been displayed. Immediately following the KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST  , lightly depress throttle (a 2-3 degree throttle angle is required, NOT a wide open throttle). Service codes displayed during this test correspond to cylinder number.
