Service Procedure
1. Are DTCs P26FE or P2BFB present?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 2.
(2). No – proceed to Step 5.
2. Using the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool, access datalogger, and view the PCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs). Monitor the EFCV_A_MON_STAT PID while active commanding the PID EFCV_A_CMD PID. Open the tailpipe actuator in 10% increments until it has reached 100% (fully open). Close the tailpipe actuator in 10% increments until it has reached 0% (fully closed). Does the EVCA_A_MON_STAT PID display a mechanical fault at any point?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 3.
(2). No – proceed to Step 5.
3. Remove the exhaust actuator and inspect for physical binding and/or blockage and repair as necessary. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 309-00C.
4. Is the concern still present?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 5.
(2). No – repair is complete.
5. Inspect the muffler and tailpipe assembly and both catalytic converters for proper positioning of the exhaust clamps securing them together. Make sure the exhaust clamp locking tab is fully engaged to the catalytic converters (Refer to Figure 1). Make sure the knurled/ridge area of the muffler and tailpipe assembly are covered by the exhaust clamps (Refer to Figures 2-3). Adjustments can be made by loosening the exhaust clamps and repositioning the muffler and tailpipe assembly. (Figures 1-3)
