An update in the case of the Explorer, may help with the Edge as well EXHAUST ODOR IN VEHICLE Publication Date: December 15, 2016 FORD: 2011-2015 Explorer This article supersedes TSB 16-0165 to add a causal basic part number and condition code. ISSUE: Some 2011-2015 Explorer vehicles may exhibit an exhaust odor in the vehicle with the auxiliary climate control system on. Customers may indicate the odor smells like sulfur, or that exhaust odors are entering the vehicle cabin. This condition may be worsened when the climate control system is in recirculate mode and the vehicle is heavily accelerated for an extended period. Whether and to what extent any customer or occupant of a 2011-2015 Explorer vehicle experiences the exhaust odor will be affected by driving habits, weather and individual sensitivities. ACTION: Follow each and every step of the Service Procedure in procedure 1 to improve the condition. SERVICE PROCEDURES Note: The Service Procedure consists of 2 separate repair routines. Most vehicles will not require the second procedure. Procedure 2 does not apply to vehicles equipped with the 2.0L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI) and 3.5L GTDI engines. Note: The body sealing steps in this procedure are critical elements in helping to manage subjective odor concerns. Is the customer returning with the exhaust odor complaint after Procedure 1 was completed? No – proceed to Procedure 1. Yes – Is the vehicle equipped with the 3.5L Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT) engine? Yes – proceed to Procedure 2. No – the procedure does not apply. Continue with normal diagnostics. PROCEDURE 1 1. Reprogram the heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) module to the latest calibration using IDS release 101.03 or higher. Make sure you are connected to the internet when entering module programming to obtain the latest updates. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraftservice.com. When reprogramming the HVAC, IDS will have additional questions which will require a yes response to reprogram the module. 2. Remove the rear bumper cover. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-19. 3. Remove the left and right tail lamps. Refer to WSM, Section 417-01. 4. Remove the wheel lip mouldings. Refer to WSM, Section 501-08. 5. Open the liftgate and inspect for presence of drain valves in the two (2) drain holes on the left and right side of the liftgate. Are the drain valves present? (Figure 1) drain valve Figure 1 Yes – proceed to Step 7. No – proceed to Step 6. 6. Install a new drain valve in each of the two (2) drain holes on the left and right side of the liftgate. (Figure 1) 7. Inspect the liftgate seal for damage and proper fit/contact pattern. Adjusting the rear liftgate striker so that the rear hatch seals tighter to the liftgate seal is important. This can be done by loosening the striker and moving it to increase the liftgate sealing pressure. 8. Inspect the left and right side air extractors for proper fit to the body and operation/sealing of the rubber flaps. Replace the air extractor if it is warped or damaged or flaps do not lay flush to their sealing surface. (Figure 2) air extractor Figure 2 9. Inspect and verify proper installation of the wire harness grommets and body plugs in the liftgate opening, quarter panels under the tail lamps, license plate and bumper cover and the rear underbody area. 10. Using masking tape, seal the left and right air extractor vents and the rear auxiliary climate control drain tube. Make sure to tape off only the vents and not the area around the air extractor where it seals to the body of the vehicle. 11. Start the vehicle and set the front climate control to fresh air mode and front blower speed to HI. Turn the rear climate control off. 12. Make sure all windows are up and all doors are closed in order to pressurize the cabin. 13. Use soapy water (dish soap or bubble bath works best-not bar soap) in a spray bottle to help locate air leaks. Spray the underbody seams, rubber grommets, rear wheel well seams, tail lamp seams, liftgate seals, quarter glass seals, license plate area, liftgate hinge area, auxiliary a/c seals and the area where air extractors mount in the body. 14. Air leaks will be identified by the presence of air bubbles. Mark the location of any leaks. 15. Turn off the a/c and shut the vehicle off. 16. Clean and dry all marked areas and seal using Motorcraft Seam Sealer. 17. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Refer to WSM, Section 100-02. 18. Lower and support the rear section of the exhaust system. 19. Clean areas on the underside of the vehicle where seam sealer will be applied. (Figures 3-5) areas on the underside of the vehicle where seam sealer will be applied Figure 3 areas on the underside of the vehicle where seam sealer will be applied Figure 4 areas on the underside of the vehicle where seam sealer will be applied Figure 5 20. Cover the exhaust system and verify the auxiliary climate control drain tape is still in place. 21. Apply a generous amount of Motorcraft Seam Sealer to the following areas: The rear horizontal sheet metal lap joints on left and right sides of the vehicle. The rear sheet metal overlap flange across the rear of the vehicle. (Figures 3-5) 22. Spray a generous amount of 3M Rubberized Undercoating around the auxiliary air conditioning lines and seam sealer areas. (Figure 6) auxiliary air conditioning lines Figure 6 23. Remove the tape from the air extractors and auxiliary climate control drain. 24. Install the rear exhaust system. 25. Install the wheel lip mouldings. Refer to WSM, Section 501-08. 26. Install the rear bumper cover. Refer to WSM, Section 501-19. Apply masking tape around the outer edge of the rear fender mouldings to protect the vehicle from damage. 27. Install the tail lamps. Refer to WSM, Section 417-01. 28. Is the vehicle equipped with the 3.5L Ti-VCT engine? Yes – return the vehicle to the customer for evaluation, close out the repair order and submit the claim for payment. Procedure 2 can be performed if the customer returns with the same complaint. No – return the vehicle to the customer, close out the repair order and submit claim for payment. Procedure 2 does not apply to the vehicle. PROCEDURE 2 1. Guided Routine Click here to access Guided Routine. Does the vehicle meet necessary conditions? Yes – proceed to Step 2. No – return vehicle to the customer. No additional repairs are available. 2. Inform the customer of the redesigned exhaust tips and that appearance will remain the same but the exhaust will exit the tip from bottom.

2012-2017 Multiple Vehicles – With SYNC And 3G Telematics Control Unit (TCU) – Inoperative Remote Commands From MyFord/MyLincoln Mobile Phone Application Some 2012-2017 Focus Electric/2013-2017 C-MAX Energi/Fusion Energi/2015-2017 MKC/MKZ/2016-2017 MKX and 2017 Continental vehicles operating with a 3G TCU on or before 16-Jan-2017 may not respond to customers remote commands via MyLincoln/MyFord Mobile phone applications. 2G networks were decommissioned on 16-Jan-2017. If the 3G TCU was operating on a 2G network, it will not automatically attempt to reconnect to the replacement 3G network. To correct, reset the TCU by removing its power fuse for 5 minutes. If the concern is still present, follow normal diagnostics in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 415-00. Refer to PTS OASIS home page for TCU version identification.

You could probably cut some phenolic spacers, probably not very thick tho, because it alters the geometry of the intake system as well as mounting points.

Pretty Sweet!

A dimpled intake would be nice to have

Can take up to 200 miles.

yeah but did you light it up???

I think Costco does nitrogen fill if you get your ride serviced there. Supposedly it prevents the wheels from rusting internally/the beads from coming apart, so tire pressure is maintained properly longer.

Either of those could be the issue, frankly. Best to get under the vehicle, clean all the wheel speed sensor connections, grease them and reconnect. At that time, the tone rings can also be inspected for cracking, and if they are cracked, you will need to have the axle replaced.

Full synthetics are great for EB engines Amsoil Signature is the only line to use, do not use OEM or XL Stick with "name brand" oils for best results, but ultimately it is about the appropriate OCI for your car and driving conditions And welcome to the forum. Do make an intro thread for yourself here: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/forum/10-welcome-forum/

The FSM states 18 oz, the owner's manual 12 oz. Which would you believe :headscratch:

I suppose you could make your own mounts from hardware store parts drawers Maybe even out of wood, add grommets and better quality screws etc.

I have always thought it a plausible solution. I guess people don't wanna mess with the paneling, or are really happy with the Ford solution? https://www.amazon.com/Cargo-Cover-Retractable-Black-Kongka/dp/B0145IN3X8/

Sorry to hear about all this. Have heard of a VERY FEW of the Edge having electrical gremlins that haven't been resolved. Did you buy your Edge new or used? Do you know its' production date and service history? At the very least you should insist with the dealership that Ford Engineering get involved this time around. With any luck it will boil down to bad grounds/bad battery.

Yeah, USB cable is definitely a better route if you have a PC. Windows 10 has its' own connectivity quirks, I hope it won't fight the USB connection.

I know I have dropouts with most wifi devices on phone/cell enabled devices. Not so much on wifi only devices. For example, I have a Google Nexus (original version) that connects fine with wifi and bluetooth. But on my S5, I have issues with both. Wifi constantly keeps dropping. With bluetooth, it stays connected, but the sampling interval is very inconsistent with wifi and cell services turned on. I have to go into Airplane mode then enable bluetooth and it works flawlessly. Some sort of roundrobin-ing must be going on between the connection methodologies. With Apple iOS, flawless connection with Wifi, though I did not have cell services turned on on the iPad 2. If you are using a smartphone, you could try going into Airplane mode, then turning on only Wifi and then see if the connection is stable. Where did you get the unit from? Link?

check sway bar endlinks and control arms as sources for the clunking sound. get an alignment after the faulty part is replaced.

Check the fluid level, at a minimum, but would definitely recommend a complete fluid R&R. Keep the old fluid for review, maybe even send it in to Blackstone Labs for testing. They can tell you if there's reason to worry or not. The PTU is a simple gear drive, no clutches nothing. So either bearings or gears will wear/fail.

Unleashed and Livernois should be your top two considerations for tunes. Both are conservative when it comes to safety & longevity. They can push the envelope further if the customer specifically requests, but at the same time expect customers to take care of their vehicles properly.

Yes thats what it smells like. And yes, you can inspect it while the edge is on jackstands, you will want good lighting though. It is on the passenger side, and the leak will likely be from the vent atop the ptu. The grease will be dark brown in color, thick, and smelly.

3M is very nice, Llumar is another one, Air Blue line especially.
