  • In today's video we take a look at a 2013 Ford Edge w/ 4 cylinder 2.0l Ecoboost engine. According to the repair shop the vehicle has been sitting for about 2 years with a bad transmission. The shop recently replaced the transmission and test drove the vehicle. The next day when the customer came to pick up the truck, it would'nt start! They scanned the vehicle and found the PCM was not communicating. After checking the grounds and connections, they decided to call me to take a look. Follow along as I take you step by step through troubleshooting a bad PCM.

    Great video thank you for posting that. I would assume that after replacing a PCM even if it is pre-programmed, the vehicle would need a perimeter reset.

    • @ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO
      @ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO  Před rokem +9

      That is correct. I forgot to mention this. The shop had a capable scan tool for that.

      What is a perimeter reset?

    • @josephgronkiewicz328
      @josephgronkiewicz328 Před rokem +3

      The body control module has the key code and hit that the PCM needs in order to start the vehicle. The perimeter reset basically syncs the PCM to the body control module for the key coding.

    Excellent video. Ultimately had to replace the PCM in my 2008 Explorer Sport Trac. For dealer had the car, and they were unable to get a PCM from Atlanta, so I found one in Jacksonville, FL, and it too, came pre-programmed from the rebuilder. The dealer was surprised that I could find one, and they were happy to install it. Worked like a charm.

    excellent job of taking us through your diagnotic strategy and performance. loved the explanation using the diagram and splicing in of text to indicate what you were going to do next. really like that you have not overloaded the engine bay with leads and other equipment (that can be distracting and confusing). conducive to understanding where leads go and and understanding

    One of the most painful and valuable lessons I've learned while doing electrical troubleshooting in my career was because of voltmeters and led test lights!
    Now I usually use my test light that I installed a fog light bulb in that pulls like 4 amps if I'm testing power supply or ground circuits and it has never failed me!

    Great video! I like the idea of testing for shorts to ground in the reference circuits that way but I always got told never to do that because going from battery positive with a test light to a reference circuit could spike the module by putting 12 to a 5V outlet, I guess it all depends on the internal circuit board design really

    17:44 a headlamp bulb drawing 15 amps is kinda off there. 15 amps @ 12v = 180 watts, regular headlamp bulb (499/477/H7) would be almost 4.6 amps @12v (55w) but yea I would totally be checking those main grounds with a high current test lamp especially if they carry the current to ground the injectors and/or ignition coils but if it's just a sensor ground then yes a low amp incandescent test light is suitable but each to their own, obviously everything else looked to a bad computer (which it was), I've been burnt by assuming a low amp test light (~200mA) lighting a ground before calling it good but under a 'normal running load' it was bad causing stalling but again in the video this was a KOEO no comm requiring very little draw

  • @markrup6369
    @markrup6369 Před rokem +1

    Nice diag Eric, but question -- when you are testing for power on pins 5 & 6, you are providing the ground external to the PCM (basically just testing wire continuity at that point, which you COULD have done with connector disconnected.) Wouldn't it have been a more thorough test to look at voltage between pins 5 & 6 and PCM pins 1,2 & 4? I'm thinking there COULD be an interruption internal to the PCM between those pins.

I’m however now getting lost communication with BCM, PCM, RCM messages. Do you have any idea of why this could be or if you encountered these codes with your trucks before? Thanks let me know. I love your videos!
