Hi gents...Im new to the forum and havent ever commented nor posted anything...Im in abit of a situation that I need help in and would really appreciate any advice to my problem...So, the problem:

I have a 2016 Ford Edge Sport 2.7lt EcoBoost with roughly 48'000km(29´000 miles roughly), I maintain the car very well and it has never given me any problems prior to this situation...about 2 months ago in the morning when going to work the ENGINE COOLANT OVER TEMP light came on about 5 min of my drive...so obviously I stopped the car and got it towed too the mechanics, after about 3 hours of the car being switched off, I started the car and the temp gauge showed the car at HIGH TEMP again which was actually impossible as the car was cold, but CLEARED the fault to make sure and the FAULT came back, making me to believe that it was not the engine that was HOT and must be some other problem. I did some research on YOUTUBE...and found that there are cases that the ENGINE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR have faults and its a simple as a sensor change...Me living in ANGOLA(Africa...yes AFRICA)...and the local FORDS here are not American imports but rather Brazilian and Indian Fords, and the local FORD DEALERS dont stock US parts...so I had to do my own import which I did...the sensor arrived this week and we replaced the sensor to find that the same error has displayed...can anyone please give me some info...please help...

Welcome to the Forum @NelsonPM33!

 

Your 2016 Edge Sport is equipped with a virtual Engine Coolant Gauge...

 

2016EdgeSportInstrumentCluster-VirtualEngineCoolantTemeratureGauge.jpg.2dc8cd0567087666247d93e27d09742b.jpg

 

...which the 2016 Edge Workshop Manual describes as operating in this way with emphasis added...

 

Placing your device cursor over underlined acronyms may yield popup full-words descriptions of the acronyms.

 

Virtual Temperature Gauge

The IPC uses 2 messages to control the temperature gauge. The first is the engine coolant temperature data, which provides the current engine temperature input to the PCM . The second message is the engine overheat indication request, which is sent by the PCM to the IPC when an overheating condition exists. When the IPC receives the engine overheat indication request message, the IPC sends the temperature gauge to full hot and turns on the over-temperature warning indicator.

 

The IPC receives all the temperature gauge inputs from the GWM over the HS-CAN3 . The GWM receives the engine coolant temperature data and the engine overheat indication request messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1 .

  • If the engine coolant temperature data or engine overheat indication request messages are missing for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the temperature gauge to the last indication state, based upon the last message received.
  • If the engine coolant temperature data or engine overheat indication request messages are missing for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC defaults the temperature gauge to the full hot position.

 

 

The following diagnostic Pinpoint Test B provides guidance on scanning your Edge's virtual-gauge-involved electronic modules for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that may describe the root cause of possible missing engine coolant data messages that are defaulting your Edge's virtual temperature gauge to full hot / overheated condition...

Temperature Gauge

  • If the engine coolant temperature data or engine overheat indication request messages are missing for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the temperature gauge to the last indication state, based upon the last message received.
  • If the engine coolant temperature data or engine overheat indication request messages are missing for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC defaults the temperature gauge to the full hot position.

Possible Sources

PINPOINT TEST B: A VIRTUAL GAUGE (AWD (ALL-WHEEL DRIVE) , TACHOMETER OR TEMPERATURE), IS INOPERATIVE

 

B1 VERIFY THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) IS SET TO DISPLAY THE GAUGE

  • Ignition ON.
  • NOTE: The IPC and message center navigation can be found in the Owner's Literature.

     

    Using the message center controls, make sure the IPC is set to display the gauge in question.


Is the IPC set to display the gauge?
 

Yes GO to B2
No The virtual gauge is operating correctly. The IPC was not set to display the gauge in question.


  B2 PERFORM THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) SELF-TEST

  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the IPC self-test.
  • Check for recorded Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the IPC self-test.


Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
 

Yes REFER to DTC Chart: IPC in this section.
No GO to B3


  B3 PERFORM THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST

  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PCM self-test.
  • Check for recorded Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).


Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
 

Yes Refer to the appropriate section in Group 303for the procedure.
No GO to B4


  B4 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).


Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
 

Yes

If you don't have immediate access to an electronic scanner DTC code reader, hopefully a local auto parts store or your local Ford dealer may offer that scanning service, but in the meantime, you can perhaps use Dealer Test Mode to see if the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) is reporting any current or historical DTCs...

 

Dealer Test Mode

NOTE: The table lists the displays as they appear when navigating using the down arrow button.

 

To enter the IPC engineering test mode or dealer test mode, begin with the ignition OFF. Press and hold the LH steering wheel switch OK button.

 

Place the ignition ON and continue to hold the button for 5-8 seconds until the display indicates Test or Gauge Sweep. Press the up or down arrow buttons to navigate through each of the display windows. To exit the IPC dealer test mode, press and hold the OK button for 5-8 seconds or place the ignition in OFF. Each down arrow button press advances the viewing window to the next set of items.
