If you own or lease a 2015-2018 Ford Edge with a 1.5L or 2.0L Ecoboost engine and have experienced overheating with engine failure, please contact us at 61 or fill out the form and we'll contact you at your convenience. However, no such recall exists for the similar issues reported by consumers with the 1.5L and 2.0L Ford Ecoboost engines. In addition, consumers are reporting that the parts to replace the engines in their vehicle are on backorder, causing significant wait times to have their vehicles repaired.įord previously recalled certain 20 Ford vehicles equipped with the 1.6L engine for a very similar issues under recall campaigns 12V551 and 17V209. Several consumers experiencing the issue have said that the vehicle misfires when coolant leaked into the cylinders. The most common PCM codes reported as associated with misfire related to the internal coolant leak are P0316 and P0302. Likewise, some consumers have stated they saw blue or white smoke emitting from their vehicles to alert them to the issue. Luckily external coolant leaks are often visible, and you can easily determine where the leak is coming from. External coolant leaks can come from any part of the coolant system. Some consumers report that the check engine light comes on to alert them to the issue, but others state they had no warning. As we told before, the most common cause of low engine coolant level is external leaks. In many cases, the defect causes total engine failure. If you are driving slowly or stopped idling the fans keep enough air moving through your radiator to keep your engine cool. This range does not include taxes and fees, and does not factor in your specific model year or unique location. Labor costs are estimated between 62 and 78 while parts are priced between 192 and 217. Another thing to consider when watching your engine coolant temperature is what the engine cooling fans are set to. The average cost for a Lincoln MKZ engine coolant temperature sensor replacement is between 253 and 295. Consumer complaints indicate that the engines in their vehicles overheat due to internal coolant / antifreeze loss that allows coolant to enter into the cylinders of the engine. This will likely be somewhere in the 160 to 190 degree range based on what your drive. Wait 2 minutes.Ĥ) Return to the engine compartment fuse box and re-insert both 10 amp fuses for positions 16 & 23. Newsom Law PLC is investigating a potential lawsuit based on consumer complaints of engine overheating caused by an internal engine coolant leak in 2015 - 2018 Ford Edge vehicles equipped with 1.5L or 2.0L Ecoboost engines. Use the engine compartment fuse block for this procedure not the instrument panel fuse block.ī) Engine Compartment Fuse Block (correct one): 16 is Powertrain Control Module A and 23 is Powertrain Control Module B.Ĭ) NOTE: Your DIC will now display “check” messages for ABS, etc… Do not worry as this is normal.ģ) Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position.
Clean and inspect all of the sealing surfaces of the upper and lower intake manifold. Remove the 7 bolts and the upper intake manifold. Remove the upper intake manifold support bracket bolt. This has the advantage that it absorbs a great deal of energy with very little rise in temperature (called heat of vaporization), which is good for keeping things cool, especially for passing one stream of coolant over several hot objects and achieving uniform temperature. Its probably located in a same/very similar place in Fiesta 1. Heres a clip for changing the coolant temp sensor for Focus 1.0 Ecoboost engine. If the radiator gets warm almost immediately after you start driving your car it could mean that the thermostat is stuck open.
ENGINE COOLANT OVER TEMPERATURE MANUAL
Check the DIC for oil temp first to make sure it's not too hot.ġ) Insert key into ignition and turn to the “ON” position, but, DO NOT START THE ENGINE.Ģ) Open the engine compartment fuse box cover and remove the two 10 amp fuses from position numbers 16 & 23.Ī) According to the manual there are two fuse boxes. Detach the 2 coolant tube retainers from the upper intake manifold. Water boils at about the same temperature desired for engine cooling. Also in low engine temp the coolant shouldnt circulate via the radiator.
I checked the oil temp on the DIC and it was normal, so I knew the water wasn't that hot. Click to expand.Have you recently added anything to your car? I had this happen when I added my Vararam intake and also installed a skip-shift eliminator.Īfter the install, just about as soon as I started the car, the temp gauge went to maximum.
