FORD EDGE PCM NO COMMUNICATION DIAGNOSIS & FIX

[@josephgronkiewicz328]

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]

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

[@fredsalter1915]

What is a perimeter reset?

[@josephgronkiewicz328]

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.

[@fredsalter1915]

@@josephgronkiewicz328 Is it "perimeter reset" or "parameter reset"? Thanks again!

Muy bien gayo eres una chingonada... Veo tus videos desde SLP mexico ... Hope you can read that ... I know u can ... Y dale pa'elante pa!

[@davidgriffin14]

Dude you explain things better than any other KZbinr or teacher. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@20thcentlimited]

I was in this repair business for 28 years and I can see that you really have a grasp on what you are doing, BRAVO!

[@user-yw6ei8yt4q]

You don't have to apologize. We appreciate your work to video these diags. Love your detail in all this, we learn much from this.

[@factsalways7749]

Gets me everytime: “I’ve got the keys right here in my hand. . . “ Eric, says that on every lesson. 😂👍🏾

[@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO]

Old habbits are hard to break 😂

[@The_Redkween]

Eric, don’t think that we long-time viewers don’t notice that you’ve really stepped up your editing game lately, on top of your already stellar diagnostics methodology. Great work!

[@88camaroman]

Man those videos never get old, if that's not something you deal everyday you forget... So watching those just keeps you in the loop

[@Mr2004MCSS]

Great video. You are always so through in your diagnostic approach and explain it in a way that is easy to understand. This is one of my favorite diagnostic channels.

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

Thanks for COACHING us with such dedication !! The passion is evident in everything you do !!

[@marathonfreak67]

Outstanding diagnostic walkthrough. It's something special watching a pro do their job well.

[@ripjones5294]

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.

[@orlandot3944]

Dang I always see you fixing some crazy problems many me mechanics would run away from no doubt. Hope you charge accordingly, good work ain't cheap boss man.

[@sambitar8448]

DEAR SIR, YOUR EXPLAINATION IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE LOGICAL ANALYSIS, WHICH IS VERY HELPFUL AS EVER. THANKS A MILLION FOR YOUR EFFORT.

[@stevec5657]

It must feel great to realize you made the right call. Between your YT channel and word spreading around town about you, I think you'll always have a steady stream of appreciative customers. Great job 👍

[@mikechiodetti4482]

You did your job and were 100% correct. Don't apologize! Thank you for the update and the "tips and tricks" especially for using 12 volts through the test light at the VREF connections checking for shorts to ground.

[@amjadzidaoi4011]

Big thumbs up for your thought process and being confident in condemning the pcm. Also, thanks for your time to upload those amazing videos which I can say 100 percent very informative and educational.

[@gregjones8501]

Always useful and entertaining content on this channel! Thanks for taking the time to educate us Eric!

[@buntnik]

One of the most informative videos out there. EXCELLENT!

[@judih.8754]

Excellent communication about your thought process. You're really thorough. Thanks for posting.

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Eric thanks for sharing . Video was extremely informative and I much appreciate how you walk us through the wiring schematics. Stay safe and well Artie 👍

[@KarinaRamon]

Awesome info! I’m currently having an issue with my Ford Escape and NO ONE can tell me if it’s the PCM for sure. But you showed us what you need to check for and bam, found it was PCM. 4 shops later and still nothing 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@hpelisr]

Great work Eric, that was a lot of wire's and ground checking. Thanks

[@surdo132]

No apologies needed . I'm grateful for the knowledge you share. Thanks

[@bekomcar554]

Thanks again, admire your passion, insights and wisdom. I am getting more and more data communications related complaints. Guess, recent cars are like computers with four wheels.

[@timbow50]

Continually 100% amazed at your expertise ! I know it takes years to get where you are with your skills.👍👍 sad there’s no one in Amarillo like you.

[@dustydustydusty]

ispr. Remember that. And now I have to rewatch part of the video. Excellent as always.

[@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO]

Yes. I will remeber this this acronym the next time I see it. Thanks for watching!

[@roxanneabbott8424]

Always a pleasure seeing you Eric no matter how long we wait! It's worth waiting for!

[@samuelkiragu6613]

rt here in kenya your channel is the best learning platform

[@JohnDoe-sp8zg]

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 ojo no manufaturer would agree with your tool with the pin test. did you forget your ase terminal test kit? ignore the typos

[@stevieg_306]

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

[@zthom992]

So so SO useful! Running into same issues with my 2010 Edge and have been lost until I found this video. I am now subscribed and will be checking it all out. Thanks for the time and editing!

[@buntnik]

Thanks!

[@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO]

Thank you!

[@ralphsmith2126]

Screw these new vehicles. I'm going South and find me a good old 1970s or earlier 80s. Thanks for the video anyway.

[@dansaver8247]

Terrific video and diagnosis. Thank you.

[@Athan5594]

Thank you for the step by step diagnosis with explanation..

[@siskiyouwoodsman4279]

Erick, great video as usual and I think you should be an instructor as you are very clear and concise when explaining your test procedures…very easy to follow👍

[@john7017]

Eric, great video ! Thanks for sharing.

[@odishoodisho4904]

Great as always thanks for shearing your information

[@beats_and_cars]

I wish you all the best my brother, hopefully things have gotten better (I stumbled on your page and watched the ls460 flood nightmare, and the shop closing video). I have an ls460L, and was looking to buy another (LS460L or LX570). Thank you for all your help. Amazing work. God Bless.

[@rickybailey7123]

That's the same checks that I do great job showing 👏 just been about 10 months sense last 1 I checked was making sure I hadn't forgotten about anything like u said u can never be 100 % on knowing!!

[@76ameer]

Nice informative video as usual. I wish more and more videos from you.

[@raviautoscanning]

Thank you for sharing. Good diagnostics.

[@ubuntuscorpious]

Just discovered your channel with this video. Awesome work! Everything was so well explained. Will be watching more.

Don't need to apologize. Troubleshooting customers cars is the most important thing.

[@alialix2076]

Always thanks Eric ... Always we thank you brother.

[@alexblok883]

Great job! I just needed the location on the ecm, and I got stuck for the whole video…

Thank you for helping me to understand Automotive😊🥰

[@chicodorosario1787]

Godlike diagnostics right here!

[@windfal7]

Watching from DXB. Excellent flow of info.

[@thamiralqurashi8604]

very informative , thanks Eric

[@antoniorodolfo9805]

Master in action

[@antoniorodolfo9805]

What is it

[@SamHelsby]

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

[@neilmurphy845]

I never heard of a test light until a few years ago and it is such a brilliant tool why do LED test lights exist when the other ones are so much better it would seem

[@johnbortiehblabi]

Thank you for the videos you make I Learn a lot from it God bless you 🇬🇭

[@sabahusen6842]

Intresting vedio thank you ,why you dont open pcm and chek 3 wier 5volt refrenc and change the power suplly?

[@Avenueroaddetailing]

Hey Eric, Great videos thank you Love watching the videos about how programming keys id like to get into this , what’s the best bet to get learning up key programming, other than watching all your videos which I do

[@tmise50]

Outstanding tutorial! Is there a scan tool like you were using that you could recommend for diyer’s that won’t break the bank?

[@trublue2319]

That was good diagnosing

[@johncarmona3322]

What’s papa where can I get the wiring diagrams?

[@philautomotive8529]

Well done nice work with the snap on scope its one of my favorites

[@johnr.803]

Wow! What an education!

[@harvrindrsingh]

Hi from dubai. Thanks for great information videos

[@jyao5409]

Wonder if the shop somehow let the smoke out of the magic box during transmission replacement...

[@gilron9585]

Thanks as usual for the great video. How much is a new or remanufactured PCM in this truck ? Eric's time is also money :)

[@Cringgyplayz]

Just now coming across this video. I’m stumped on this 2014 ford edge. No crank no start but also no codes. Checked the entire ignition system. Any ideas?

[@jlwmrblack]

Very smart man keep up the great work Eric.Love watching your videos,I see you don't do no bmw's they're are one of the worst car ever.I'm just saying

[@r0bstafford126]

Great vids watching from NEW ZEALAND

[@derekoliveira7446]

About testing sensor integrity, is you use a voltmeter instead of Power Probe is the same thing!?

[@petergarofolo9385]

Great video. No need to apologize.

[@zackarymcclain164]

did you double check to make sure that none of the 5volt ref sensors were shorted? I know it worked out but I never saw that step. I might have missed that.

Great video 👍 very very good explanation thank you so much for your efforts 😊😊

[@abdul-kabiralegbe5660]

I never knew Ford Edge came with the EcoBoost engines. All I've seen until this are the Duratec ones.

[@shamessun]

Thank you…. The 5v short sensor to ground test that is a good test…. Thank you

[@SOLOOJESUCRISTO]

Thanks for your teaching and be blessed in Jesus Christ 🙏

[@kingsleycollins6730]

nice Work man..like you always do👍

[@markrup6369]

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.

[@filicruz7566]

Appreciated everything you do for us thanks .,nothing to apologize I'm simptly grateful to you.

[@jordysandino6577]

Hola primo . Bonito vídeo como siempre. Apenas lo volví a ver ya lo voy viendo 2 ves es el mismo video lástima que no le puedo dar mas like solo una vez se puede 😂

[@jimpetty2961]

great video quality is better than quantity nice job very thorough😁

[@teranluis100]

Never knew you were in the Houston area, how does one get ahold of you for diagnostic services? I'm a technician myself but every now and then at our shop we get stuck on an issue that needs the expertise of a true diagnostician as yourself.

[@CrazyPetez]

Good show👍👍👍

[@alexisr.cabreraortega9900]

Great Vid. Súper demostration 👍🏻👍🏻

[@joeandgod1]

Why would a shorted 5 volt reference circuit cause no communication with the PCM? Wouldn't the PCM still communicate?

[@jccadena]

Eric, can you do a video explaining long term and short term fuel diagnoses.

[@davidgriffin14]

Where did you get that mini floor jack on top of your box?

[@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO]

It's a Bluepoint toy jack I got from the Snap-On truck like 20 years ago! Thanks for watching!

Is there a fuse inside the ECM? You are truly a great mechanic ...

[@davidhall3747]

No, all fuses are external.
