A/C & HEATER SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1992 Ford Taurus AUTOMOBILES
Automatic Temperature Control Systems Diagnosis & Testing -> Continental, Sable & Taurus -> Description -> Ambient Temperature Sensor -> Blower Speed Controller -> Cold Engine Lock Out (CELO) Switch -> COMPONENTS -> In-Vehicle Temperature Sensor -> OPERATION -> Sunload Sensor
Vehicle: 1992 Ford Taurus LX 3.0 V6 GAS
OPERATION
The electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module maintains a selected temperature by regulating the airflow between the instrument panel registers, floor ducts, defroster nozzle and side window demisters.
The EATC control assembly and microcomputer analyzes inputs from the temperature selection, in-vehicle temperature sensor, ambient temperature sensor, sunload sensor and cold engine lock out switch. From these inputs, the microcomputer determines the conditions that will produce optimum performance.
A self-test feature is included in the syst...

Anti-lock Brakes -> Continental, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Sable, Taurus & Town Car -> Precautions -> HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID COLOR
Vehicle: 1992 Ford Taurus L 3.8 V6 GAS
HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID COLOR
Hydraulic brake fluid must conform with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 116. Under this standard, brake fluids are visually different from other automotive fluids such as transmission, power steering and engine.
Fluid color in a normal brake system may vary from its original color for many reasons. A brake master cylinder may show significantly different shades fluid color between the two brake master cylinder reservoirs. Color may also appear to vary between cast steel and die cast aluminum reservoirs. Some reasons for discolorati...

DRIVELINE, U-JOINT & CV AXLES REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES FOR 1992 Ford Taurus AUTOMOBILES
CV AXLE SHAFT, Replace
Vehicle: 1992 Ford Taurus SHO 3.0 V6 GAS
If removing both right and left side halfshafts, plugs T81P-1177-B or equivalent must be installed. Failure to do so may result in dislocation of differential side gears, necessitating transaxle disassembly to realign gears. Also, halfshaft removal and installation procedures are the same for automatic and manual transaxles except for the following: due to automatic transaxle case configuration, right side halfshaft and linkshaft must be removed first. Tool T81P-4026-A or equivalent is then inserted into transaxle to remove left side inner Constant Velocity (CV) joint ass...
