  • ELECTRICAL – CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATED – DURING COLD AMBIENT TEMPERATURES BELOW -6 DEGREES CELSIUS (20 DEGREES F.) – VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.0L ZETEC ENGINE BUILT 7/8/2000 THROUGH 2/12/2001 ONLY

 

FORDeBay:2001 ESCAPE

 

Some vehicles may exhibit a red charge lamp illumination in cold ambient temperatures below -6°C (20°F).

 

This may be caused by the calibration of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

 

ACTION:

Verify red charge lamp illumination.

If normal diagnostics cannot resolve condition, reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with latest calibration.

Refer to the following PCM Calibration Information Chart for details.

Service Information & Reprogramming

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

Ford Module Programming (FMP) is a software application that allows subscribers to program electronic modules on FordeBay, LincolneBay and MercuryeBay 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.
