WELCOME to MIESK5's BIG BRONCO LINKS - We now have over 23,000 LINKs!
This is a Ford Bronco, Truck & Van Technical & Parts LINKS site developed by the MIESK5 Family & is not affiliated with the Ford Motor Company in any manner.
Although we initially developed this site for 78-96 Big Broncos, information in many Links also applies to Ford Trucks, Vans & Cars.

Failure Mode "...is a stand in strategy in the EEC designed to maintain vehicle operation should one or more sensor inputs fail. When a sensor input is perceived to be out-of-limits by the EEC, memorized data from the computers KAM memory will be initiated. EEC continually checks the sensors against its records of normal readings during operating conditions similar to its current state. Hold on that sounds hard! Not really, randomly EEC looks at the past to see if the engine is somewhat where it usually is. If for some unknown reason a sensor is off the charts, it can’t be trusted. So instead of tuning the engine to a possible faulty sensor reading and harming the engine and drive-ability; EEC replaces the sensor reading with a best guess from a past memory. This is why unplugging the battery to fix something works against you. Unplug the battery causes EEC to memorize all the sensor data as base line and normal. If it memorizes a bad sensor it will take it longer to call it a liar. Ford did however give EEC a very broad idea of what the sensor should be reading in its permanent ROM memory, so it will catch on to failed equipment sooner..."

Idle Speed/Throttle Control Actuator Depiction; The idle speed control actuator is mounted to the fuel charging assembly and controls the idle speed including such functions as: high cam RPM, anti-diesel shut-off, dashpot and repositioning per next vehicle start. - 80.6 MB pdf

Idle Tracking Switch Depiction; The idle tracking switch is a mechanically operated electrical switch mounted near the throttle linkage on certain carburetors. Uniterrupted or prolonged deceleration is detected by the switch which sends a signal to the MCU to change the vehicles carburetion and thermactor air. - 80.6 MB pdf
