| FORD | 2012 Transit Connect |
ISSUE:
Some 2012 Transit Connect vehicles built on or before 1/30/2012 may exhibit drivability concerns including runs rough, loss/lack of power, hesitation/stumble and malfunction indicator light (MIL) on with DTC P0351 and/or P0354. Concerns may be intermittent and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may be present in continuous memory only. These concerns may be due to a spread terminal 69 and/or 70 in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector C175E.
ACTION:
Follow service procedure to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Does the vehicle exhibit a runs rough, loss/lack of power, hesitation/stumble condition with DTC P0351 or P0354 on demand or in continuous memory, and is the vehicle build date on or before 1/30/2012?
- Yes – Proceed to Step 2.
- No – This article does not apply. Refer to Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for normal diagnostics.
- Obtain Terminal Kit and refer to the instruction sheet.
- Use the male blade terminal lead to confirm a spread terminal concern in C175E, pins 69 and 70. The concern is confirmed to be low spring force if either location allows the blade to enter with little or no resistance to insertion force. Does the pin test fail on either terminal 69 or 70?
- Yes – Proceed with replacing both terminals: 69 and 70. Refer to the instruction sheet.
- No – Claim parts and labor for pin fit test only. Refer to PC/ED manual for normal diagnostics.
