I have a 2019 Edge ST. I recently updated a bunch of the module firmware. Everything went fine eventually. However, I updated the TRM and RGTM firmware and am now getting U2100 DTCs (Initial configuration not complete) for both of those modules. I tried to revert back to the previous firmware version, but that has not removed the U2100 DTC. Anyone have any suggestions to resolve these codes? Thanks!

I finally got around to updating the PCM and AWD module firmware. Thanks Haz for the recommendation and help several months ago. I was working on my wife's explorer and bought a Mongoose-Plus cable for that work and got a 2 day subscription. FDRS worked fine and I was able to update all of the Explorer's module firmware pretty easily. The 2019 Edge still uses FJDS and it is not nearly as user friendly. I went to update the modules and it would tell me the module updates exist and even give me the current and latest versions with files, but wouldn't download them. So I went to Ford and downloaded them. I tried to put them in several locations for FJDS to find them, but couldn't seem to find the right spot. I punted on FJDS and went to FORScan Beta version with a paid subscription. FORScan also showed no available updates since 2018 which I knew wasn't right. So I took the downloaded updates and put them in the FORScan calibration file folder. FORScan didn't seem to recognize the files as a newer version for the PCM so I had to load the newer version as "custom" (which I was very hesitant to do. So after ensuring I have the existing firmware downloaded, I proceeded and everything went just fine. Note on FORScan custom loading - when you "test SBL" it automatically goes back to the latest automatic update so you have to reload the custom files and then "program". I also reset the adaptive transmission tables while I was there. Both my son and I have driven it a little since then and we both claim it is better than ever. No hard clunk into gear when you shift and the shifting seems smoother especially when you drive it hard. My son said it used to be terrible when you got on it shifting and surging really bad and that is completely gone. A couple questions: Is there place for the DIYer to go to look for module firmware updates? For the Edge, I basically needed FJDS to tell me what had updates, but couldn't do the updates in FJDS so had to use FORScan. I actually prefer FORScan over FJDS and probably even FDRS). So short of buying a 2 day subscription (for $120), I have no way of knowing which ones if any have module updates. Perhaps this car is old enough that module updates aren't really happening anymore. The edge has the 8F57 transmission and I can't figure out if I need to update the transmission solenoid strategy or not. Does anyone have any information on that?

I'm concerned about the PTU since I have no idea when it was serviced last and it doesn't seem like sucking it out and topping it off is really a full fluid change. Any thoughts or recommendations to get the most new fluid in the PTU? Maybe suck it out, fill it up several times with some driving between (like a week)? It only holds 0.4 quarts per the manual so not a bunch of fluid to buy.

We bought our Edge a few years back used. The 20" factory chrome clads are pretty well beat up. And both of us are supprised how this car transmits every bump in the road. Even our old '03 Lincoln LS Sport had more compliance than this. A neighbor of our son has 2018 Mustang wheels he is selling off for a good price, and the bolt pattern matches, although its a bit of a way to go to to see if the 17" wheel clears the front brake calipers. Backspacing looks good as the rim width. The hope is better tire compliance with a higher profile. But the question is, has anyone put 17" rims on this generation? Secondary question. I can pull the clad's and repaint the aluminum wheel underneight, but has anyone found a softer feeling tire in the 20" rim 50 profile for this vehicle? -
I'm at 186,000 km on my 2019. I'm convinced more than ever now that while some issues may be transmission/TCC related, my particular issue is somehow map sensor or turbo related. On cold or dry days, it runs like a top with plenty of power, smooth shifting and no hesitation. On a damp day, it takes much larger throttle input to get moving and build boost. Part throttle is very jerky. Highway speeds are good, but it upshifts to 8th quickly and doesn't like to shift down under load. Takes a heavy throttle input to kick it down. I stuck a scangauge in to monitor TPS, boost/vacuum and various temps while driving. Definitely seeing odd behaviour of TPS and boost readings when it's having a bad day. Edit: may have a thermostat issue, coolant temp never wants to go above 175F. I doubt that is part of the problem though.

I would pull the light out and disconnect the power. Probably a good idea to secure the loose wiring somewhere.

The camshaft position sensors are very rudimentary/robust instruments with extremely low failure rate, so I doubt that they had anything to do with the operating issues you describe. The codes you listed are related to the Catalytic Converters and that should be the starting point for diagnostics. The CAT's can last very long unless there's factors such as oil burning or excess fuel. If the CAT's are getting blocked they'll be restricting exhaust gas flow and the symptoms will be worse when going up a hill etc. As a test you could pull the upstream O2 sensors and assess the exhaust pressure at that point with the engine running and see if any of the symptoms clear. Best not to use that person for diagnostic advice going forward.

The car was stuttering and hesitating when shifting especially when going up hill. Ive replaced the 2 cmp sensors i could find. I also had to replace an ignition coil due to it misfiring. And I reset the codes. Now it's giving a p0420 and p0430. Replacing the sensors improved the stuttering alot but didn't completely resolve the issue

Why are you wanting to change the camshaft position sensors?
