Special Service Message 53842 - 2025 Nautilus + Expedition/Navigator - Windshield RFID Transponder Not Working And Transponder Placement Some 2025 Expedition/Navigator/Nautilus customers may state that their windshield mounted toll road, home access, or other radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders are not working. 2025 Expedition, Navigator and Nautilus windshields have UV coating that may block RFID transmission. The windshield has a designated shaded area for RFID transponder placement in front of the rear-view mirror, next to the camera console, that does not contain UV coating. The online Owner Manual has been updated to include instructions for transponder placement with a picture of the shaded area, and the in-vehicle electronic Owner Manual will be updated via an over-the-air (OTA) in Q4 2025. Customers should follow transponder manufacturer provided instructions for mounting and orientation (some transponders recommend horizontal, vertical, etc.). In some cases, the transponder size may exceed the size of the windshield shaded area and a portion of the transponder may be outside of the shaded area. Many transponders will still function correctly as long as a majority of the transponder, particularly the internal RFID transmitter itself, is located in the shaded area. Customers may need to test transponder results and adjust the transponder in various positions within the shaded area until there is consistent transponder performance.

The 2019 Edge Workshop Manual provides a useful description of those newly added PTU & RDU capabilities, and how each component reacts to operational heat... Placing your device cursor over underlined acronyms may yield full-words descriptions of the acronyms. Power Transfer Unit (PTU) Operation The PTU has four (4) modes of operation: Connected, Connecting, Disconnected, and Disconnecting. Each mode is commanded by the AWD module. The power transfer unit contains a reversible DC motor and two hall effect position sensors. The motor moves the shift fork which connects or disconnects the dog clutch collar. power transfer unit position sensor A monitors the position of the actuator cam. power transfer unit position sensor B monitors the position of the shift fork. Some power transfer unit models are equipped with an oil temperature sensor. Connected Mode Connected mode is the default mode for the power transfer unit. The AWD module will command Connected mode at the beginning of each key cycle. In connected mode, the fork and dog clutch collar are positioned towards the RH side of the power transfer unit and the dog clutch is engaged. The driveshaft will then rotate at an overdrive ratio compared to the front axle shafts. Torque will be available at the RDU . Connecting Mode To connect the power transfer unit, the two halves of the Dog clutch must be within 40 RPM of each other. The AWD module calculates the speed differential based on transmission OSS , RDU Driveshaft Speed, and power transfer unit gear ratio. The actuator motor will energize and rotate the gear reduction drive and the actuator cam against the shift fork. When the dog clutch teeth line up, the cam pushes the shift fork into position and the clutch engages. It can take approximately 100 - 150ms for the dog clutch to engage after the command is sent. Disconnected Mode The AWD module will command disconnected mode based on vehicle conditions. The purpose of the disconnected mode is to reduce drag losses from spinning the driveshaft when conditions indicate AWD will probably not be needed in the near future. In disconnected mode, the fork and dog clutch collar are positioned towards the LH or transmission side of the power transfer unit. The dog clutch is disengaged. Disconnecting Mode To allow disengagement of the RDU , no torque is routed through the power transfer unit, with the dog clutch being disconnected during this mode. Depending on vehicle operating conditions, the AWD module may keep the power transfer unit engaged for the remainder of the key cycle. The AWD module will send a duty cycle command to the power transfer unit actuator motor to disengage the dog clutch. RDU Operation Power distribution clutch motor for RDU: The RDU System consists of an open type differential with an electronically controlled clutch pack that varies the torque applied to the rear axle shafts. The system has the capability to vary the amount of torque to the rear axles by controlling the clutch engagement pressure. Economy Mode: When the RDU clutch pack is not engaged, the open differential allows the rear axle system to operated as a freewheeling axle, with no torque being transmitted from the RDU to either rear axle. In this mode the vehicle will operate as a 2WD system. Connect Mode: When the AWD module determines that the AWD system function may be needed, the clutch pack is engaged to a “kiss point” by the actuator, spinning the rear axles up to speed. Once the wheel speed reaches a certain threshold, the power transfer unit will be connected (via the Torque mode), with torque provided to the RDU . Torque Mode: When the vehicle is in torque mode, the RDU clutch motor will receive angular position commands to provide a requested amount of drive torque from the drive shaft to the rear axles. The RDU controls receive a torque request in Nm, which is converted into a motor angular position request value. These incoming torque requests are updated every 10ms by the AWD module. Heat Protection - Power Transfer Unit During excessive use or when towing a trailer, the AWD system may implement a heat protection mode to protect the power transfer unit from damage. Using the input from power transfer unit temperature sensors, the AWD module performs calculations to determine the demand for use of the heat protection mode. The AWD system then reduces the commanded torque being applied by the RDU to the rear axles, and/or disconnects the power transfer unit dog clutch. Once the maximum temperature limit is reached, AWD mode only is commanded and the AWD temporarily disabled or AWD OFF message is displayed in the IPC . Heat Protection - Rear Drive Unit (RDU) During aggressive on road driving, the AWD system may implement a heat protection mode to protect the RDU clutch from damage due to overheating. On variants not fitted with power transfer unit or RDU temperature sensors, the AWD module performs calculations to determine the need for the heat protection mode. If the AWD system detects an overheat condition, it enters a locked mode. If the heat in the RDU continues to rise once in the locked mode, the AWD module disables the torque commands to RDU . This condition may be indicated by an AWD Temporarily Disabled message in the message center. To resume normal operation, stop the vehicle in a safe location and turn the engine off for at least 10 minutes. After the engine is restarted and the AWD system has adequately cooled down, the AWD Temporarily Disabled message turns off and normal AWD operation returns. In the event the engine is turned off during the stop, the AWD Temporarily Disabled message turns off when the system cools. Normal AWD operation returns once the message center displays AWD Restored. Good luck!

all done. took me about an hour for completion. used a multimeter to test continuity in the harness once it was removed, the green wire was completely severed in one location and partially severed a few inches from that. I used a pair of heat shrink butt splice connectors to fix the 2 areas and resistance was very, very low after. put it all back together and DID NOT REATTACH the lowest harness anchor point, on the servo motor because I suspect this is where the extra wear came from. the harness is stable, I saved $500 by doing this myself, and most importantly the constant dinging is gone!

That is called the Backup slot. That is where you would place your key fob if the battery was dead, or for some other reason it wasn't detected in the cabin (try to start and it says "no key detected"). Also it can be used to program a new key, and to get your securicode door keypad code.

9 years of driving mine. Only had to do maintenance. No broken parts. Runs like it did new. Still like everything about it. Been a great car.

Hi All, I just bought a 2013 Edge SEL. It's my first Ford product. I hadn't really even paid much attention to the Edge, but now that I have one, I'm digging it. It is a bit rough around the edges, so it's going to be a bit of a journey.

Welcome to the Forum, @giraffegeoff! Looking at your photo -- as you have no doubt already recognized -- there are clear visual differences between the red-arrowed side on which the unlatching button is sagging, and on the green-arrowed side where the unlatching button is not sagging... The plastic piece, pictured in your palm, likely broke away from the sagging-button-side, where it previously supported the button, and its rectangular stem passed through the red-arrowed voids to release the lid's latching mechanism. The button/latching mechanism is available only as Provided In Assembly (PIA), meaning that buying the entire storage compartment bin/lid assembly is required, if you wish to replace it. Ford's online parts-selling site offers several photos of the replacement part... Link to this FordParts webpage It's worth noting that the underside-view photo provides little detail of the button/latching mechanism, though it is possible an engineering improvement was made to the original mechanism design. The instrument panel storage bin lid assembly (FT4Z58301A05AA) is retained by two screws holding the audio speaker in place, and by two screws into the center stack... Accessing the two center-stack screws requires removing several adjacent components, as described in the two Workshop Manual sections that are attached below as PDF documents... Good luck!

You should pop off the cover like it says and check. My 2019 SEL has 5 pin wiring to the rear view mirror, I was able to find the male and female connectors and pins to make my own harness to get switched 12v from the rear view mirror. I wasn't willing to spend $42 on a Dongar adapter, or $150 like the one you posted.

Replacing the vent went well. Thanks again for the help Haz! 20250530_114754.heic 20250530_114804.heic 20250530_115403.heic

Hey, so I did the same and picked up the pad - no benefit. If your car has a non-OEM windshield it may be missing a piece of foam for in between the dashboard and windshield - or maybe it just isn't sufficient. I picked up a $2 piece of pipe insulation and cut it so it was a half circle and pushed that into the gap...it is crazy how quiet the vehicle is now. You can get it to look relatively decent.

*** This is an Advance Notice -- This post will be updated when the Full Dealer Bulletin is released *** Ford of Canada is also participating in Compliance Recall 25C21... Gratitude to Forum member @markfm for the heads-up on the impending announcement of this Field Service Action (FSA).

I did a factory reset of the settings and did a software update. This seems to have resolved the problem for the trip around the block. Hoping it stays away! Thanks for the advice of the software update and I did some other reading that the car learns the driving habits and adjusts accordingly. We bought this from my MIL and my son was driving it. Perhaps the car learned the habits of a grandma and had a hard time adjusting to a teenager?

SSM 53854 - 2024-2025 Nautilus - Driver Seat Module PMI Failure After Replacement Some 2024-2025 Nautilus vehicles may exhibit a driver seat module (DSM) programmable module installation (PMI) failure with an error stating "Procedure Unsuccessful-Flash Software Failed to flash RU5T-14C030-AE" after replacement. This may be due to the incorrect DSM being installed. If the vehicle was built with RU5T-14C708-DG on or before 14-Aug-2024 the correct DSM replacement part number is RU5Z-14C708-K (engineering part number RU5T-14C708-DG), while vehicles built on or after 15-Aug-2024 the correct DSM replacement part number is RU5Z-14C708-R (engineering part number RU5T-14C708-AE). The service part catalog is currently in the process of being corrected. illustration from 2024-2025 Nautilus Workshop Manual showing DSM mounted to underside of driver seat...

Hell yeah, I don't see why not, If one has the skill set for that. But it's worth mentioning that the Chinese Edge mirrors (premium trim) offer camera & power fold options. Pretty Sweet ! You would need to do a little bit of wiring modification, swap out your current window switch for P/N: GT4Z-14529-AA and do some DDM Forscan code change to make the power fold option work.

2009 lincoln mkx. Wife said the car needs gas. O miles left. Put in 20.6 gallons. I think she got lucky not having to call me again.

I started getting the collision warning not available, front sensor blocked error. I came across this thread and it helped me get it working. I leveled the sensor (not sure how it migrated from a level position), pushed the as-built, then ran the calibration job and went for a drive. It took 13 minutes for it to calibrate then I had my collision warning/adaptive cruise back. I'm glad I stumbled across this thread!

I might have a lead on a pair under $900.00 shipped from China ... More to follow.

Just did a drain and refill on my 30,000 mile 22 ST-Line 2.0. That little breather hose wasn't too bad but make sure to face the clamp tabs forward when ya put it back on to make it easier next time. I was lazy and just put back in what I drained out which was about 5 1/4 quarts.

If I read this correctly, the actuator is still on the RDU but they added an electric clutch to the end of the PTU. (Basically they can disconnect the driveshaft from turning.)

As you describe it, the words "official Ford" and "good deal" do not apply to your purchase. Check the eBay seller's return policy and/or your options under eBay's policies. Good luck!

In 2019 they switched to the PTU with disconnect function, however the rear differential still has the actuator. So the driveshaft can be fully disconnected from both sides and then would stop spinning. @macbwt previously made a video of it in action:

It changed on the later models - not sure at what year they moved to the PTU.

Awesome! Thanks, I will plan on those as well.

Ford has resumed Dealer repair actions under Customer Service Program 24B47...

New part installed. The new part is a little stronger in the area that the old one broke. The repair to the old part held up well - very solid. New part is Made in Canada.

I added the hood insulation and it didn't do much to quiet the noisy 2.0. Just picked up the Engine cover which I'll be installing this evening.

I've owned a couple of these the motorola and the AAwireless variety. In both cases, there are sometimes random glitches that occur - android auto failing to launch, etc. In all cases correcting the random error is resolved with a restart of the device (sometimes both phone and dongle). Android auto has been going through multiple revisions of late, and my aawireless devices have been updated too. I have had no luck pinpointing where the actual cause of these issues originates. There have been too many variables to narrow things down before another change comes. My sense is that for now - some degree of this glitchy behavior is going to be there for the time being. It generally works for me more than 90 percent of the time.

SSM 25-2185 has an APIM update. Is there a way to know if this version supersedes the version in 25-2157? I would expect if you go to a dealer and it requires an APIM update it would always be later but then many also have companion GWM and TCU updates/ Update: Haz did you mean to say this replaced 25-2157 rather than 2175 (transposed)?

Got around to installing the SP-542 (.028 gap). Interesting the OEM plugs on my 2019 that I removed are in fact SP578 CYFS12YPT. They didn't look great at 45K miles. Idles and drives maybe a little smoother. A few notes from the install - As simple as it was a screwdriver popped the plastic clips off Ford's favorite 8mm nut stud. Otherwise they were not fun. Before the intercooler pipe can be moved, the blow off valve/diverter valve dump tube needs to be removed. It's a PITD. I used a spray bottle with some really really hot soapy water and it came off a lot easier. Once you get the intercooler pipe / air cleaner outlet pipe moved left (passenger) of the wiring harness it becomes more easily moveable. Once the pipe is to the left of the wiring harness, it makes sense to secure it with something (zip-tie, wire, tie-down, shoe-lace, or even duct tape like I had within reach). Now there's plenty of clearance for that coil. Was able to fit my CDI (1501MRMH) 1/4 torque wrench on every plug. 133 in-lbs / 15 Nm / 11 ft-lb

It is when it parked at night that reflectors are a safety feature. You might not be in it, or you might be, with the lights off. That is why the disclaimer on the site for them, but I don't think the do enough to let people know they are removing a safety feature. They are required, and there is a height limit and regulations on if they can be on a moveable section (trunk lid, liftgate...they can't), that is why you see more CUV/SUVs with them (previous generation it was a strip under the lift gate). I find that many vehicles that move the turn signals or the brake lights (again, probably because they have to be on a stationary section of vehicle that doesn't move like a trunk lid), but they are so disconnected from the tail lights that they appear to be an additional vehicle somehow.

Ford just announced that its rethinking the ev lineup going forward. Stay tuned ...

Yes it’s normal and yes it can be added if you can find one. At least that used to be the case. They started deleting them a few years ago.

Nice find Haz! Crazy to see how much they cut out on the one with the tow package. I had to make a small cut for the wiring harness and that was it. The hitch does contact the cover and presses it down about a 1/4" right below the receiver tube. And someone asked about taking the bumper off to mount this, you should be able to get it in there with the bumper on. From the photos above, there's no mounts above the muffler either, just one on each side.

I have a couple of used hockey pucks from the neighbor kid. Cut a slot in it and it works great. See attached.
