Reading Fault Codes on a Ford Ranger for $30

[@overlandadventures7290]

Thank you very much. I just recently had trouble on my Ranger XLT 3.2, 2017, the Turbo gave problems, no power. Ford charged me R 22k for reconditioning and replacing. This only after 88k km on the clock. Had to go twice back, for Turbo repairs, very noisy and leaking oil. Still not 100% happy as it sounds like a jet, but very soft. At least got 12 month warranty on it. I've been looking at some at your Video's and they are great. Should have bought one from E-Bay too. Still learning. Thank you very much for doing those videos and placing a scripture in the beginning, given God / Jesus all the glory. Thanks again.

This is what I've been looking for! I tried a scanner with NO luck. Lots of Rangers in Cape Town, but nobody seems to know much about them. Agents are not helpful unless you are paying. No freebies here. Your tutorial is really helpful. Thanks.

[@kentweyers1845]

Could't agree more. I have a t6 ranger and every mechanic gives me a different story about it

[@johnbernetmega8424]

This video introduces me to use forscan ;which many mechanics also don’t have or know. Very useful video and you have contributed greatly to save much money and time for all people around the world. Thanks you

[@YapsieMorris-bn7jn]

Thanks so much and it helps me on how to read fault code in electronic vehicles especially on Ford ranger 3.2 or 2.2👍

[@heathmurphy3735]

Cheers mate, just bought one.

[@joedomotor2795]

Great videos, thanks for sharing. I've just bought the scanner to check for any codes, and I got no fault codes but I do have some Errors, what does this mean?

[@SBLLC-h7h]

Thanks for the video. Do you know if you can reset the BCM with this hardware and program? A instructional video would be great!

[@Th3unkownguy4113]

You can. You can reset the whole ecm and bcm and TCM

[@marcusbarnes5929]

Can you do a video showing how to change the tyre size diameter in forscan for 285 70 R17 or 285 65 R18 so the speedo and odometer read like factory reading the 4% under.

[@bobbymartin8042]

Friggin awesome 😃

[@hansottevanger4112]

Will it work with a 2021 2 litre Bi Turbo model

[@trabador0376]

Mate, thank u so much , im keeping my eye on buying Ford ranger px 2.2,so your chanel is gold, just wondering if the forscan can verify the odometer reading? Im looking at a 2013 with 151k, thanks in advance

[@trabador0376]

🙏🙏🙏 thanks for sharing brother

[@neilpiddington1554]

Love all the videos! Do you know if it’s possible to remove the crank angle sensor and reinstall with the box still installed? Any videos of this/cas issues/faults?

[@abdautomotive]

yes you can replace CAS with gearbox in place , it's relatively easy to get too

[@petebanthong2707]

Does this diagnose any injector problems aswell? thanks

[@acer1929]

Very informative videos! Do you have a video on u0001 and u0401 error on the ford ranger 2014?

[@TheChrisco1969]

I have same problem as you u0001 did you find the fault?

[@rodfirman1779]

Have you considered doing a video on how to by pass the EGR cooler. Your videos are excellent and a great service to Ranger owners, keep up the great work.

[@abdautomotive]

yeh i plan too

[@anthonysmith9617]

Love your videos mate I've got the 2015 with 105 km on her, love it to bits, just ordered the interface, any chance you can do a video on the other features of forscan? Also have a query regarding the EGR Cooler, I have blanked off cold side and bypassed cooler, should I blank off the hot side? I'm really not keen to tackle that side looks nightmarish, but I did read a forum story that a bloke had blanked off both but the hot side plate split then the cooler cracked and he had an exhaust whistle, would this be caused by no coolant in cooler and just got too hot? He mentioned they had been in 6 years!

[@abdautomotive]

yeh the hot side is harder to do, i run a hot side blank, have done 150k no issues

[@Mosesk1988]

Can you turn off egr etc using forscan and this ebay elm 327.

[@coadyg]

I believe the ms only required for vehicle older than 2005.

[@chedda2871]

Hey cobba I know your car might not have it but have you got any mates with PX2 Rangers in manual with the stupid auto-stop/start feature where you gotta press the button to turn it off every time you start? Do you know anything about turning the feature off in Forscan and how exactly to do it? I don't have the little dongle yet but I will be buying one. I came across something on a forum but they just said they 'heard' it was possible and didn't elaborate, people have made eliminator harnesses for USA models 2019+ but don't think anyone has them for 2015-2016+ PX2 Aus models.

[@RaySteele-s6s]

Hi could you tell me why I have a elm on my ranger, I have replaced the exhaust and sensors, I’ve done a forced regen and the light goes off for a week, then comes back on, any would be appreciated thanks

[@Harjinder.Australia]

would the instruction to connect to the car be applicable to a px3 wildtrack 2L biturbo 2019? thanks

[@abdautomotive]

yeh would be similar

[@mathewpaynter9527]

Can you use this to fix the egr fault after blanking? Great content mate 👌 appreciate the in-depth videos.

[@abdautomotive]

shouldn't have a egr fault after blanking px 1

[@sudarmantodarmadji8896]

Good share

[@MrChrisp300]

Do you know how to disable the smart charge with the alternator on 2012 PX Ranger using forscan. For instance which module allows this function?

[@abdautomotive]

im preety sure on the PX 1 you have to change the configuration on the "As Built data" which gets a bit complex, There is no setting in Forscan i could find to enable or disable it directly.

[@gxcoupe7044]

Hi there can you please assist My 3.2 ranger drives well on crusing But as soon as u pull a small trailer or go up hill and gives some gas it looses power and start chacking. No fault codes or light on display

[@abdautomotive]

possibly needs an intake clean

[@rockyronz]

Hey mate need your advice on the following. Limp Mode Light is on the dashboard I scanned it and it gave me this code P0183:13-AF. Please advice on how I will go about to sort this out. Appreciate your feedback

[@abdautomotive]

have never come across this but at a guess fuel pressure sensor

[@rockyronz]

@@abdautomotive it says Fuel Temperature Sensor High.

[@WillemLuntungan]

Thank you

[@nathanmueller1618]

Are you selling the ranger the plates are off

[@abdautomotive]

nope

[@bobbymartin8042]

So this $30 adaptor will work the same as a scanner?

[@abdautomotive]

yes with laptop
