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.

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 know this is a long post but please take the time if you have it. Thank You Part One, Friends vehicle had intermittent charge system warning light. On inspection noticed junk positive terminal and replaced. Part Two, Few months later friend informed me that vehicle had to be started with a jump pack and shut down electric loads on the system to get him home. Part three, The PRELIMINARY repair steps. A. removed battery from the vehicle full charge and test reviled good battery. B. drove vehicle 10 miles to my place to start diagnostic. C. I consulted with my alternator expert and supplier about this alternator and we discussed possible issues and parts availability. Because I did not have the alternator in hand we could not pinpoint the regulator possibly needed. Being old school in some respects I removed alternator to get it on the test bench without any other tests on vehicle. (I have been burnt by hairline cracks and bad solder joints inside alternators before and always inspect them. D. I cracked the case for my own curiosity and nothing seemed problematic with visual inspection. I took it to the alternator shop and it was determined to be a good unit. E. Alternator installed and no problems for several minutes / miles. them it acted up. The HARD CORE diagnosis begins. A. Hooked the the unit up to a proper scanner and monitored GENCOM and GENMON everything looked good scanner reported no issues or faults. I am no good with multiple numbers flashing on the screen that are an attempted to describe a wave form (this is a problem with me not the equipment or information delivery technique) I hooked up the oscilloscope to the GENCOM and GENMON and got proper wave forms. GENMON showed consistent frequency PWM and GENCOM showed consistant frequency PWM bursts when load characteristics changed. We also reset the BMS. So scanner shows no codes, no circuit faults and the wave forms look good! B. Believing that we had fallen victim to plug corrosion or seating I happily took out for a test drive monitoring the voltage with a simple OBD code reader. Everything was good till it stopped charging and threw warnings. C. The next day I hooked my bench top analogue scope to the scope to the GENCOM and GENMON using 10x probes in order not to affect the circuit I was measuring. (I only have access to the multi thousand dollar scanner during limited times by the grace of the auto mechanics school in my area.) Again the wave forms were excellent but I got lucky enough that I could force the system to fail with time and heavy load. (turned on AC and brights at idle). At this point one wave form flat lined on the rail (full on no PWM) and the other just chopped at %50 percent duty cycle and maybe 1 volt. In this abusive loading situation I would not expect the alternator to stop charging I would expect the alternator to give all it could and throw a battery light. And the fact is that it stops charging during driving RPMs as well. D. So this is a intermittent issue. I hooked the vehicle up to a high quality scanner and ran a system health check and it implied a P0620-00 GEN CONTROL error without the PCM actually throwing the code. With this information I ran the ShopKeyPro Pinpoint TestC: DTC P0620 which led me through the point to point wiring harness tests faults to ground and faults to Voltage tests. Shorted the GENMON and GENCOM and tested that there duty cycle stayed within %5 (this was a clever test) Used an actual bulb test light to make sure Vref could handle current at the alternator plug. Also per test instructions wiggled, pulled and poked all connections. Could not get this thing to give a bad reading. what a way to spend a Friday night. DTC E. My shop time was over for the week. I drove the Edge back to my place it erred out on the way so we had not gotten lucky by re seating the connections (PCM and Alternator) The next day I procured a different factory Ford / Mitsubishi alternator from a Ford edge so no voltage regulator incompatibility problems, installed it. I only started the car long enough to make sure it was charging. So here I am Sunday morning about to go see if it is fixed. If It is not I don't know where to go except change out PCM and that means new car as this one is not worth it. I'd hate to give that advice when I am simply missing something. Thank you Jeremy

I'm just an irregular guy in Kentucky. I am into most things technical. A friend has me working on his 2014 3.5L Edge and it is really smashing my interest together. auto mechanics / motor control / electronics / computer repair / discrete automation / grease monkey attitude / educated and educator attitude / and heck ignorance too. (that is why I am seeking the forums assistance.) Jeremy

Why not just re-paint it gloss black?

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. .

The dealer does not do body work (as I suspected) but he gave me the address of a body shop they use as needed. I will go to this shop next week some time and post back. Body shops are "tricky" business so I would rather go to one it's recommended by the dealer. My thanks to all

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.

*** This is an Advance Notice -- This post will be updated when the Full Dealer Bulletin is released *** Please note: The Advance Notice letter contains a typo, indicating "MKX" for model years that clearly represent the Nautilus model...

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.

I know. It just doesn't make sense. How in the world could Ford be so careless. What are they doing wrong? No wonder everyone is buying the competition. I get it, with all the technology packed into today's vehicles, there will be issues. But Ford is screwing up big time. My ST has not had this issue. But there have been plenty of other small issues that make me wonder??? Did I buy a piece of Junk????

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?

I would not consider any modifications - don't have the money for the modifications nor the premature failure that's typically associated with such modifications. 100% Costco Top Tier gas and every three months 16oz of TECHRON - 266701317 Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner, 32 oz which I buy from Napa when on special. Borescope combustion chamber and intake and never seen the need for CRC etc. Using a catch-can may have helped avoid contamination. .

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.

Your install looks great. I am in the process of installing the lighted cupholders in an sel that never had ambient lighting. Below is the process as I understand it. Is there anything I am missing? 1. run wire from pin 13 on the c2280g haness in the bcm to cupholder 2. tap power and ground from somewhere 3. Change 7D0-01-02 xxx-xxx-2xxx using forscan (I did this and it did not put the ambient lights control on the sync screen, do I have to install the cupholders first before I make that change? Is there also changes that need to be made in the body control module using sync? Where did you get power and ground from for the cupholders? Did you make a harness or just wire tap? Did you find a harness to plug into the cupholder or just cut off the factor harness that comes on the cupholder and tie wires together? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

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.

We're at about 20' above sea level and ambient temperature about 70* in Florida. Light turned green. He got on the pedal and I did too. 0-50 was sweet, until he pulled on me and passed me at 50 mph. My belief is the Livernois tune with a few minor mods really brings our platform (Nautilus / Edge ST) alive. We're at about 20' above sea level with an ambient temperature about 70* (in Florida). From my experience, I believe I'm easily doing about a sub 5.0 second 0-60. Once the Hellcat's 650 LB FT of torque got that TRX Hellcat moving, the 707 crank HP pulls extremely hard ... "sweet spot" for the TRX. Those trucks have a declared 4.5 second 0-60 time, so, basing my theoretical belief of sub-5 seconds, because he flew by me at 50 mph. I'll get it out to the Dragstrip soon. Guy gave me a big smile and a thumbs-up. Just sharing the experience. Feel free to comment negatively or positively with your honest opinion.

You have an ST. Not an Edge Sport. Ford has already done everything for you. 20 HP over the Sport. 10% stiffer in the front, 20 % in the back. Monotube shocks instead of twin tube. You have sport mode if you feel like you need it, even though 90% you don't. Also, you can double tap the ESC button and put the advancetrac into sport mode. A hidden gem with the ST The ST is everything the Sport wishes it could be. Don't change anything. Mine does have the Performance Wheel and Brake package which makes all the difference in the world. The Pirelli Pzeros turn it into a true performance SUV. . Trust me, you don't need all that tuning crap. You already have it. You have an ST

Very lucky I've never had this issue on my 22 ST.

Your plan is solid! Should be a blast once you have it all dialed in. My wife drives our Edge ST mostly, so I want to try and not go too nuts with it. So far just the Unleashed 93 tune and one step colder Ruetheniums and a custom air intake crafted by @Xtra that I acquired from a past member. The intake is sweet, adds a nice growl too! I have colder thermostats on hand and will most likely do the CVF FMIC this summer. Almost forgot, it sits on H&R springs (bought it used and already had them) I am tempted to try another tune, I saw one that keeps the OAR learning like the Monster Adapt-X I have on my Focus ST.

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

The info button - which showed the album, genre, file name, and folder of a song - when playing music on a USB drive is gone in this update, right? I can no longer find it. A downgrade. Now only the artist, title, and album/single sleeve show.

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.

Until your pads/brakes heat up, you can't brake and then don't have anything left to pick.

if driving all day only gets the battery to 70%, i'd be checking alternator current output. and crank on every single power hungry accessory immediately after start up while watching the output, see if it hits a threshold below its actual spec. otherwise its possible the battery is just tired.

There was a video of them dismantling the Edge production line in Oakville. But, EVs are not the answer!

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.
