Of course you can BUT . . .. Adding new fluid to " top off " the old fluid does extend the use of the old fluid to some amount, but does not equal actually replacing the old fluid with fresh fluid What do you do when the fluid level of the PTU is FULL and you can't add any new gear oil? Unless you have evidence that the PTU is leaking, there is no need to add fluid. If the PTU fluid has been in there at least 20K miles, then you need to change it out completely. Forget the fact the manual says the PTU fluid is good for 30K miles. Go with that if you wish but at 20K miles, mine was a dirty, dark brown fluid. You have to remember that the PTU is sandwiched between the transmission, engine and exhaust systems. That is a pretty hostile environment, adding to the fact the amount of PTU fluid is small. And, there is no need to pull the PTU to drain the old fluid. You can literally use a vacuum unit designed for fluid removal to vacuum ( suck ) all the PTU fluid out and then pump all new fluid into the PTU for the refill. That is what I did and it works easily with zero mess.

It was her sisters, who died unexpectedly. So mostly a sentiment hesitancy.

Hi guys! Hello, I would like to share my observations about the anti-corrosion protection of our Ford Edge cars. Or more precisely - about the factory lack of this protection. My ST just turned 4 years old. The car is very nice, I like it, there will be no newer generations, Ford doesn't give a damn about cool projects, because what's more important to them is 'diversity BS' and battery-powered Mustangs (hahahah). So, when my ST was 3 years and 9 months old, I decided to give it a proper chassis maintenance. At the beginning, it was supposed to be a thorough cleaning and basic protection (wax for closed profiles, polyutherane for visible surfaces). After washing and drying the chassis and dismantling the covers, it turned out that the Ford Motor Company had practically neglected the topic of anti-corrosion protection! This is a scandal. The joints of the sheet metal elements of the bodywork are not protected against the ingress of water and oxygen - a real invitation to corrosion! There could only be one decision: dismantling the covers, covers, rear suspension, drive, diff, shaft, exhaust, tank. Then comprehensive sandblasting of the entire chassis, application of polyurethane primer, mastic to protect the joints of sheet metal, and then rubber on the chassis and in the wheel arches. Top with hot injected waxes. At the same time, the elements of the rear suspension and the tow hook were sandblasted (rubber elements, threads, etc. protected) and covered with a special varnish. Top it all with a layer of wax. The car was in the service center for 2 months (I wasn't in a hurry). The effect is fantastic and I'm glad I decided to protect this nice car. My main message here is: shame! Shame on FoMoCo for such a scandalous approach to such an important topic as anti-corrosion protection. I can't call it anything other than intentional aging of the product. Take care of your lovely STs! I'd like to share with you a video report i was given from the guys that were doing all this work. It's in Polish - pls, use YT auto translation - it's working quite nicely. Cheers.

Great to hear 1004ron ! I'm just happy I don't have to remove the wheels in the near future to install new pads. Those 21's are hea-VY. Here are a few pics of the brake calipers, as promised. Can't see them very well, but, they look a little better when the sun is not directly overhead and casting shadows.

Thank you. I've tried another reset (after trying at least three different instructions that didn't work). Pressing Power, Defrost (front), and Off at the same time resulted in horizontal segments at the beginning and two 88s displayed at the temperature values at the end, supposedly meaning a successful reset with no error codes. We'll see.

You do not need access to OASIS to find any recalls or TSBs related to your vehicle. A simple internet search for 2020 Ford Edge ST TSBs and safety recalls will provide you with that list. As to which TSBs / safety recalls have been performed on your particular vehicle, you may not be able to get that answer simply because if they were performed, the dealer most likely never documented them. That was my personal experience when I checked these for my car and discussed them with my former dealer.. TIP: If you compile a complete list of TSBs / safety recalls on your car, and you take that list to your dealer, don't be surprised if you piss them off. According to my former Ford dealer, they do not have to perform any TSBs UNLESS your car is actively having an issue related to a specific TSB. Safety recalls are different and they have to perform safety recalls. As far as the 2020 Ford Edge ST, I have found zero safety recalls that affect my car. I just noticed you are in Poland. Maybe you have better dealers there than in the U.S.

● You check your tire pressure. ● You check your transmission fluid level. ● You check your coolant level. ● You check your power steering fluid level. ● You check your brake fluid level. ● You check your oil level. ● You check your engine air filter. ● You check your cabin filter. ● You check your seat filter. ● You check your exterior. lights to verify everything's working. ...... What are you forgetting? ....... What's the one thing you should be checking but haven't since .... ???? •• Tire pressure of the spare tire, hidden away in the trunk. 🚗....

Well my question would be, why do you still have it? It seems like it's been nothing but trouble and a money pit. Is there any reason you are keeping it?

Just got updated as well new Updated SYNC to build 25213 Revision 1981

Sync updated today. Module updated was APIM 25.2.0.16.1

Winters are very weak those years. The most recent one was quite normal - as winter should be. Plenty of snow. Yes, they are using salt on the roads but this tendency, as far as i know, is declining heavily. Snow/no snow, salt/no salt is one thing. Zero anti-corrosion protection as per design - is the second thing. After all corrosion is not only about salt. It is happening 24/7.

That is a major undertaking and must cost a fortune in labor and materials but will serve you well for many years.

I took it to a mechanic who replaced two fuses (which I could not reach myself) and that fixed the interior lighting problem. Thanks for the help.

Sorry to hear about the family loss that led to your ownership of the Edge. I don't have any specific fault finding to suggest but have not seen the lack of cabin heating reported here, which leads me to believe that there's a solution to your problem, just need to identify what that is.

Ambient Lighting The ambient lighting subsystem consists of the BCM, and the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) located within the floor console, front and rear door panels, instrument panel and front and rear footwell areas. The ambient lighting is operational when the ignition is in any state other than OFF (the exception is when it is used in conjunction with the illuminated entry/exit features), the headlamps are on and the outside ambient light level is low. The BCM provides the voltage to the ambient lighting system, while the touchscreen ( FDIM) is used to cycle through the different color variations or turn the ambient lighting feature on or off. A LIN circuit is routed from the BCM to all of the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). There are 3 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) (red, blue and green) housed within each LED assembly. By illuminating various color combinations, the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are able to produce different colors of ambient light. The APIM uses software to monitor the user interface from the touchscreen. Based on the ambient lighting system selections made using the touchscreen, the APIM sends ambient light color request and ambient light intensity request messages over the communication network for color and brightness settings. The BCM retains the last color and brightness setting between uses. For 2021+ the factory option is single color Ice Blue.

Yes, I am able to.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some help from anyone with OASIS access to pull a report for my Edge ST. I’m trying to verify the vehicle's service history (repairs/replacements) and check for any outstanding recalls or TSBs. I am particularly interested in any updates regarding the TCM (Transmission Control Module) or PCM. (shit 2>3 problem) Vehicle Data (from FORScan): VIN: 2FMPK4AP8LBA92260 Model: 2020 Ford Edge ST Engine: 2.7L EcoBoost V6 Current PCM Strategy: K2GA-14C204-GFE PCM Calibration Level: K2GA-12A650-GFE Mileage: ~91,200 km (approx. 56,700 miles) I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide a printout or a summary of what’s in the system. If there’s a small fee for your time/trouble, please let me know via PM. Thanks in advance for the help!

I'd have to go back and check, but I recall the TSB's aren't mandatory whereas the safety recalls are. NHTSA vehicle safety recalls are mandatory, not voluntary, if a defect poses an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet federal standards Check for Recalls: Vehicle, Car Seat, Tire, Equipment | NHTSA

You can unplug the DPFE and test drive. This may tell you the concern is in the EGR system. BTW, usually will not set a code if it's at fault.

I don't use a torque wrench on the lug nuts, so can't comment on that question. Within the first 15K miles of my Sports life the Ford dealership damaged the aluminum cladding on the lug nuts due to the use of impact wrenches for removing and installing them - they gave me a complete new set - 125K miles and they're still in "as new" condition. Recently had tires installed at Costco - added clear instructions to the job card that no impact wrench be used - I watched and they didn't use impacts. .

Is there any hack or alternative software to install that I can change the layout of the touch screen? I hate the current layout. For example, see the attached. When I want to go into climate, my eyes and finger must travel a LOOOOONG distance on that display and that is terrible in of itself, its also distracting and dangerous. 1. say I want to turn off the climate system. Finger presses Button on bottom, finger to top off button, finger back to bottom to close the screen. Ridicoulous 2. say I want to recirculate the air. Finger presses Button on bottom, finger to top circulations button, finger back to bottom to close the screen. Ridicoulous UGH! I have no clue who allowed this navigation nightmare in the first place, but it sucks. Plain and simple. So now, in all todays day and age, is there a hack to this software where I can override and change the layout to my liking?

You can change the temperature and fan speed with the steering wheel switch

What is IPC climate control?

I got it working. I also had to change 726-45-01 to xxx-x3xx-xxx. I ended up using power from the 12 volt outlet in the car. The cupholder lights come on when the headlights come on. However, they say on if you then turn the headlights off until you shut off the car. I also can't dim them or turn them off using the sync screen. Can you control your cupholder lights from the screen?

Any luck finding the changes. I got it on the screen by changing the apim. Just not sure of the changes to make in forscan for the bcm.

Your account is active.

You do not need to remove the BCM or solder anything. Instead, to add a wire, you unplug the connector from the BCM, then you can take apart the connector, and push a new pin into it. You can access the BCM by reaching up under the dash, and you can remove the small cover in the front that is right below the headlamp switch. Program with FORScan. Changes in BCM to enable rear fog lights. And IPC to enable the indicator.

bloody internet... Possible to put them here as a photos, not links to external websites?

I have not had any issue yet in my 2016 Edge, or my 2023 Explorer, but when I had my 2019 SuperDuty, I had to replace the front camera. The rear was fine before I traded it in, so I don't know if it ever failed or not. It was under recall, but when I traded it, it was still "awaiting parts". I bought the front camera from an online Ford dealer for a great price, and changed it myself. Took about an hour and all was well. My Edge is under recall for the camera, (guess what...parts unavailable at this time".) The Explorer has no recalls at the moment.

Man, these rear-view camera issues have been going on for years. Why can't Ford get it right? You'd figure after this long, they would have it figured out.

I made the change in the apim to a 2 from a 3 thinking that would enable the menu in sync but it didn’t. I haven’t installed the cup holders or ran the Lin wire from the bcm yet because I want to make sure I can get the menu to show up first. Can I get the menu on sync by changing the apim before the cup holders or wire from bcm is installed or does everything need to be installed to get the menu to display.

I have a 2024 which has sync 4. Do you remember the changes you made with forscan to the bcm and apim?

Since we all three have the GEN 1 engine, I have to ask. Any major issues with the drivetrain ... as relates to your modifications or high milage? Already doing the fluid/oil changes and frequent maintenance. Also using CRC Turbo & Injector cleaner and considering the TechTron fuel additive in hopes of keeping the fuel system free of carbon buildup in the engine and moisture out of the tank. Hope y'all are having a good weekend. Always open to suggestions.

If you disconnect the battery before removing the seat and reconnect it after returning the seat, then the Airbag light will not come on. If you have ForScan, you will be able to reset the codes even if if the light comes on.

Chinese Edge in name only. With seating for 7 probably closer in size to the Explorer. Ford needs to bring back the original Edge size suv. I would be ok with a hybrid.

A conclusion to this saga. After many hours of testing and troubleshooting, looking and thinking...a 1 month $20 subscription to AllData, I followed the 23 step pin tests as outlined by ford for a no start condition, it pointed me to a bad PCM. So I went to replace that, noticed it had already been replaced. I grabbed a replacement from a junkyard anyway, had them both tested, neither revealed problems. Spoke to a local mobile programmer, he came out, programmed my junkyard PCM, all problems solved. No more need for a start circuit hotwire, and the radio works as it's supposed too. So in short, someone replaced the PCM, it wasn't programmed correctly, rather than fix it, they hotwired it and sent it on its way. All in all, a telling learning experience that cost me about $300 bucks and countless hours bashing my head against the fenders. But alls well that ends well. Hope my tale of woe helps someone in the future.

It's your money so spend it any way you wish, however . . . The BOV will gain you that whoosh noise you want, but that's all. If you are looking for 400 / 420, then an Unleashed Tune will get you there. Average numbers are gains of 60 HP / 70 TQ. I have no idea what the Livernois tune got you as you have not said. An FMIC is a good addition as it will help keep a cooler charge, not more power. High flow CATS? If you think those are going to get you big power gains, they won't. But, they could change your exhaust noise, given a larger exhaust. Bigger turbos? You won't need those either to reach your stated goals ( 400 AWD HP and 420 AWD TQ )

Ugh, this is the curse of the "car guy" mentality, of which I suffer greatly, I modify all my cars because I can. No performance gains other than noise. Which is ok as long as your expectations are in line.

Those two tires are basically the same diameter and revs per mile, so as long at the wheels are up to spec as well (offset, width, etc) then they would be fine.

You will love it but occasionally you will inadvertently hit the switch placing misc stuff on the console or just tapping it. It remembers last position til you hit it again. Switch is fool proof, drivers are not. At least I fit into that category. It attaches to in off switch and you use that to toggle on and off as before but it stays where you left it thru ignition cycles til you hit it again...

On an AWD vehicle, some recommend the replacement of all four tires as it is critical to prevent damage to the rear differential. Closely maintaining the rear differential by having tires with the tread depth and regular fluid changes may avoid large repair bills. I am not sure what you mean by checking "the diameter of the new versus the originals and they are almost the same." Do you have a tread depth gauge? Using a tread depth gauge is the only way to measure the diameter of a tire that is not new. Did the tire dealer measure the tread depth of the two remaining tires? Yes, mixing of symmetric and asymmetric tires may also cause a problem with rotating the tires. I am surprised that the tire dealer even sold you the asymmetric tires (it must have been that it was the only type that was in stock - tire dealers do this - I used to be a tire store manager.) You would always want the asymmetrical tires on the rear because of the different handling properties, tread pattern and speed rating difference, but rotating tires is critical for an AWD.

I don't see any recent updates either, although my 22 ST has never had this camera issue.

The little things matter 😉 Added glove box compartment light back in the Edge. Don't know why Ford deleted it in the first place. Scored a 2017 Edge glove box lamp harness and damper from the junkyard. With a little bit of DIY (dremel action & soldering), swapped out the LED PCB for a brighter aftermarket one. I made a T-harness to tap into the passenger side (visor) vanity mirror lamp circuit. Ran that down the psngr side A-pillar all the way to the glove box.

Just received update 6.14.0 Updated SYNC to build 24058 Revision 1197.

Last year I was experiencing a vibration in the steering wheel. The shop I've been going to put it on a lift and put it in gear. As we looked from the rear of the vehicle there was at least one tire that was not running true. You could see the tread moving left and right and it wasn't the wheel. Those were Pirelli tires, I now have continental tires on and problem solved.

Welcome to the Forum @jonasy! It's possible that the two 2019 Edge STs do not have the same software level in their B&O 12-speaker audio system's Audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modules. While I'm unable to remotely view DSP software levels in 2019 model year vehicles, I checked the DSP software level in a B&O-equipped 2021 Edge ST with its last DSP update (JL3T-14C589-EA) having occurred in September 2021, and a DSP update is presently available for that specific vehicle. In the case of the 2019 Edge STs, one vehicle may have received a DSP software update that the other vehicle has not yet received. The DSP module is located behind the Driver's Side (Left Hand) Cargo Loadspace trim panel... Good luck!

Update: I got a new left steering wheel switch. SW-8186 (HG9Z-9C888-BB). This does not have lane centering. It is similar to the switch on the 2018 Edge with ACC and no lane centering. Once installed, I had to play around in SCCM with forescan. Option number 25 worked under the steering wheel left side switch. I know have ACC working, the switch allows me to change the distance setting. No error codes. The only limitation is no Stop and Go. Which I never use anyway.

Wow, this is exciting. I don't care about stop and go. Can you put together a cook book version of how you did this? What parts are needed and what needs to be done in Forscan?

They are all LED Taillights, it is just how they illuminate that differentiates "Low" and "High" lines. Just out of curiosity and for confirmation @ADHCpilot, is your rear signal lights amber or red? I couldn't find a picture online to confirm what the "Low" line (SE, SEL, ST-Line) has in the rear.
