Recommended Posts

 
 
SSM 52432   2024 Nautilus - 2.0L EcoBoost-Hybrid - Fuel Injector Replacement
 
On 2024 Nautilus 2.0L EcoBoost-Hybrid vehicles, if engine damage or drivability diagnosis leads to replacement of any fuel injector assemblies, replace all 4 fuel injector assemblies along with other necessary repairs. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 303-04B. Engineering is currently investigating this concern. Monitor OASIS for further updates.

Ford is restating this message to the Service community, now excluding replacement of Port Fuel Injectors...

  
 
SSM 52490   2024 Nautilus - 2.0L EcoBoost-Hybrid - Direct Fuel Injector Replacement
 
On 2024 Nautilus 2.0L EcoBoost-Hybrid vehicles, if engine damage or drivability diagnosis leads to replacement of any direct fuel injector assemblies, replace all 4 direct fuel injectors along with other necessary repairs. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 303-04B Direct Injection Fuel Rail Removal and Installation for the procedure on replacement of the direct injectors. Do not replace the port fuel injectors for this condition. Engineering is currently investigating this concern. Monitor OASIS for further updates.

Ford, once again, releases a Special Service Message relating to 2024 2.0L EcoBoost-Hybrid Nautilus direct fuel injector replacement, notable now for its lacking any range of vehicle Build Dates, unlike the above-referenced CSP 24B23 that addresses a finite population of vehicles...

 
 
SSM 52568   2024 Nautilus - 2.0L EcoBoost-Hybrid - Direct Fuel Injector Replacement
 
On 2024 Nautilus 2.0L EcoBoost-Hybrid vehicles, if engine damage or drivability diagnosis leads to replacement of any direct fuel injector assemblies, replace all 4 direct fuel injectors along with other necessary repairs. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 303-04B Direct Injection Fuel Rail Removal and Installation for the procedure on replacement of the direct injectors.

A fuller understanding of this Full Hybrid powertrain may be useful...

 

2.0L Turbocharged Hybrid Engine
 

Newly available on all series is the efficient 2.0-liter Turbocharged Hybrid engine (FHEV) with a 100kW electric motor that offers Clients the choice of a capable, electrified powertrain. 

 

Hybrid Powertrain Features

  • TBA-kWh lithium-ion battery
  • 27-kW electric traction motor
  • CVT Power Split transmission
  • Regenerative Braking System

HYBRID BATTERY PACK

  • TBA-kWh lithium-ion battery pack
  • Mounted under floor behind front-passenger seat
  • Invisible to the owner
  • Battery pack sits on chill plate that is liquid cooled and fully encased
  • Electric water pump flows the coolant to a dedicated radiator located at the front of the vehicle
  • Air conditioning refrigerant cools the lines that the battery coolant flows through
  • Water-cooled battery has advantages over a fan-cooled battery
    • No fan noise
    • Heat from battery does not end up in passenger compartment

DRIVING THE VEHICLE

Electric Start-Up

  • Engine starts automatically as you accelerate — sometimes immediately; at other times, the engine will delay starting up
  • Engine start-up will occur if lithium-ion battery recharge is required or acceleration exceeds electric motor capability
  • If the lithium-ion battery is very cold or very hot, the engine may engage sooner than under normal operating conditions — this is normal

Coming To A Stop

  • Engine may shut off as you come to a stop — this is normal and helps conserve fuel
  • Do not attempt to restart the vehicle
  • Engine may restart when you remove your foot from the brake
Maintenance Requirements
  • While repairs to the hybrid powertrain system should only be performed by a Lincoln Certified Technician, routine maintenance procedures such as oil changes or tire rotations do not affect the hybrid system
  • Cost-effective operation can be traced to a distinct characteristic of its driving cycle:
    • The engine is Off at stops and at other times when it is not needed
    • This distinct operational mode contributes to a reduced rate of engine oil degradation(2)
  • Compared to the “duty cycle” of a conventional vehicle, the Nautilus duty cycle with hybrid powertrain is less severe because the engine spends almost no time idling at stops;(2) sustained idling is particularly destructive to the detergent and anticorrosive properties of engine oils
  • Regenerative Braking System increases brake pad life while it recharges the lithium-ion battery, because the hydraulically assisted friction brake components are relieved of part of the burden of slowing the vehicle, so there is less wear and tear on the brake pads(2)

(1) Calculated via combined performance of the engine and electric motor(s) with peak battery power. The calculations utilize SAE J1348® engine results and Ford electric motor dyno testing. Your results may vary.

(2) Driving habits vary — maintenance intervals based on normal driving conditions.

Apparently it's a cleanup of the old 52432 - they want to make sure that even after the injector replacement CSP is done the shops should continue to replace all 4 direct injectors if they find a bad one going forward.
