A/C & HEATER SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2001 Ford Taurus AUTOMOBILES
General Service Domestic Vehicles -> 2001-02 -> Leak Test -> Electronic Leak Detectors -> Fluid Leak Detectors
Vehicle: 2001 Ford Taurus 3.0 V6 GAS
Testing the refrigerant system for leaks is one of the most important phases of troubleshooting. One or more of the methods outlined will prove useful in detecting leaks or checking connections if service work is performed. Before beginning any leak test, attach a manifold gauge set and note pressure. If little or no pressure is indicated, a partial charge must be installed. Check all connections, compressor head gasket, oil filler plug and compressor shaft seal for leaks.
For R-134a system an electronic type leak detector is recommended.

BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2001 Ford Taurus AUTOMOBILES
Hydraulic Brake Systems -> Description -> Brake Distribution Valve & Switch -> Brake Warning Light Systems -> Combination Valve -> Description -> Failure Warning Switch -> Metering Valve -> Proportioner Or Pressure Control Valve -> Proportioning Valve & Switch -> Testing -> Testing Warning Light Systems
Vehicle: 2001 Ford Taurus 3.0 V6 GAS
This system operates on the same principles as conventional front and rear split systems using primary and secondary master cylinders moving simultaneously to exert hydraulic pressure on their respective systems, Fig. .
The hydraulic brake lines on this system, however, have been diagonally split front to rear (left front to right rear and right front to left rear) in place of separate lines to the front and rear wheels.
In the event of a system failure this would cause the remaining good system to do all the braking on one front wheel and the opposite rear wheel, thus maintaining 50%...
