FORD: 2010-2012 Transit Connect

 

ISSUE:

Some 2010-2012 Transit Connect vehicles equipped with the 2.0L engine may experience inoperative electric cooling fan due to a blown fuse. Customers may complain their vehicle overheats or A/C doesn’t blow cold air. This symptom generally occurs under high ambient temperatures. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) may illuminate with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P1285 (cylinder head temperature (CHT) over temp condition) and/or P1299 (cylinder head over temperature protection active).

 

ACTION:

Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

  1. Using Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) Datalogger, command the low speed fan (LSF) and high speed fan (HSF) on. Do the fans operate in both high speed and low speed mode?
    1. Yes – This procedure does not apply, refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) Section 3, Symptom Charts, for normal diagnostics.
    2. No – Go to Step 2.
  2. Check F17 (HSF fuse) for open circuit. Is F17 open?
    1. Yes – Go to Step 3.
    2. No – This procedure does not apply, refer to the PC/ED, Section 3, for normal diagnostics.
  3. Check the LSF resistor for an open circuit. Is the LSF resistor open?
    1. Yes – Replace the HSF F17 and the LSF fan resistor (which can cause the HSF F17 to blow). Proceed to Step 5.
    2. No – Go to Step 4.
  4. Check the total voltage and amperage draw of motors 1 and 2 at C1077 and C1074. Check each circuit separately.
    1. Using IDS Datalogger, command the high speed fan on and wait for 3-4 seconds until the fan operation stabilizes.
    2. Use the digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) inductive pickup to check the amperage draw on the B+ circuits 15S-PA 16 and 15S-PA6, at C1077 and C1074. Measure and record the total electric current to the cooling fan motors 1 and 2.
    3. Using a DVOM, check the voltage on the B+ circuits 15S-PA 16 and 15S-PA6, at C1077 and C1074 (pin 1). Measure and record the total voltage at the cooling fan motors 1 and 2.
    4. Compare recorded readings to the chart. (Figure 1) Does your measured reading for voltage and amperage lie within the shaded area of the graph shown? (Figure 1)
      1. Yes – Do not replace the cooling fan. Fan operating as intended. Proceed to Step 5.
      2. No – Replace the cooling fan and shroud assembly. Proceed to Step 5.
  5. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 76.04 and higher or 77.01 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2012.1 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com.
  6. If necessary, check and adjust coolant level.

Service Information & Reprogramming

Software necessary to program electronic modules to the latest calibration level, perform module initialization (PATS), and set Programmable Parameters on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.

Ford Module Programming (FMP) is a software application that allows subscribers to program electronic modules on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. It can be used for:

  • Reprogramming emission-related (OBDII) modules on some vehicles manufactured in 1995 and all vehicles manufactured from 1996 to the present
  • Reprogramming or reconfiguring non-emission-related modules on many vehicles (UBP and MS-CAN not supported)

In addition, module initialization (PATS) functions such as Keycode Erase/Reprogram and PCM Parameter Reset can be done using this application.
