Parts
Service Part Number | Quantity | Description |
MB3Z-9G444-C | 1 | 2.7L Catalyst Monitor Sensor, Left Side |
MB3Z-9G444-D | 1 | 2.7L Catalyst Monitor Sensor. Right Side |
Service Procedure
1. Check the PCM for software updates using the latest software level of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. Is there a software update available for the PCM?
(1). Yes – download and run the PCM – Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Software Update app.
NOTE: Advise the customer this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which allows the vehicle’s computer to learn the transmission’s unique parameters and improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a relearning process. This relearning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days.
(2). No – proceed to Step 2.
2. Replace both catalyst monitor sensors. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-14C.
