  2. Not lot of detailed info on this; only a handful of threads here. The procedure was pretty simple but has gotchas and other things I didn't really care for. For example the torque on the PTU fill plug, you'll never get 33 ft/lbs on that. I stopped turning before I got to 28 ft/lb and noticed the plug was deeper than when I first took it out and stopped. There's also no way, as mentioned in another thread here, that you can completely remove the PTU cooler without removing the crossmember there. You can however, pull the cooler out far enough to drain the fluid. Make sure not to screw up the o-ring on the cooler though, or you will be dropping the crossmember. Those of you with just a plug here and no cooler don't have to worry about this as your plug comes right out. Here's the fill plug and PTU cooler with the stud/nut showing. When I opened the fill plug not even a dribble of fluid came out. I had to use a combo of 1/4" 8mm socket and 8mm flex head closed end ratchet on the nuts. Or you can drop the exhaust. I kept the 1-piece stud/nut and just reused them. The PTU cooler pops out easily, or as much as it can before hitting the subframe. The coolers metal rod elements extend the length of PTU basically. Here she is draining. You can see the o-ring - do not mess it up. Brake cleaner will be your exhausts best friend. I'd say I spilled an ounce or more other than what's in the container but I tried to measure what came out of it. In the sun. Didn't look too bad I thought for 40k miles but idk. Reinstalled PTU cooler and cleaned everything up. Inserted the stud/nuts and torqued to 97 in/lb Here's what I use to fill up transmissions and differentials. Just a regular water vacuum pump you can get on Amazon for $10. Easy peasy no mess no pumping just press a button. I put as much oil as it would take until it started streaming out. Then I spun the tires several times by hand and waited a few more minutes before pumping more fluid in. When the stream stopped and turned into a drip I put the fill plug back on with some thread sealant. Like I said above I don't like how Ford says 33 ft/lbs on the fill plug - that's not happening at least on mine. All cleaned up and done. I'll check the level again in 100 miles or so. The fill plug is inserted further than it was from the factory at 28ft/lbs. Be careful with aluminum. And that's pretty much it. It should take about an hour if you have access to a lift. As with everyone else, I have no idea why Ford couldn't put a drain plug other than to purposely let PTU's eat themselves after the warranty period.

This may be due to an evaporative emission system concern or may also be caused by the customer overfilling the fuel tank. If this condition occurs, perform normal diagnosis per Workshop Manual (WSM) Section, 303-13 and repair as necessary. Inform the customer that the condition may have been caused by overfilling of the fuel tank and to not top-off the fuel tank when the fuel pump nozzle automatically shuts off for the first time. Refer the customer to the Fuel and Refueling section of their Owner Manual for additional information.

  5. Back again after a different dealership having my Edge for just about a month. I THINK we have figured out the problem. I will paste the (quite long) write-up from the master mechanic - as it would be more helpful than anything I would try to explain. Hopefully it helps at least ONE person that may be experiencing a similar problem. 2020 Ford Edge ST with 17k miles on it, 100 visits to dealerships, ridiculous amounts of time without the car, $1000's wasted, "fixes" that ended up not being fixes, etc. The master mechanic found it to be the driveshaft installed improperly from the factory. Please read the write-up for more details. I appreciate all the messages with guesses at what this could be. After getting a new transmission and it essentially being a placebo-fix where we weren't hearing the noise for a short period, here is to hoping that this new, properly installed driveshaft resolves this FIVE YEAR problem we've been experiencing. Thanks again!

  20. I might get this wrong with what was explained, but we were told that the incorrect install from factory with the bracket and the driveshaft caused for the driveshaft to contort a little bit due to misaligning the bolts. The bolts were able to fit perfectly into place with the bracket on the new driveshaft. I apologize for my ignorance as this is like a different language for me.

  21. We were beyond lucky to have this master mechanic work on this problem for us over the last month. He said it was the hardest thing he has ever had to figure out and resolve in his career. Also, we don't really ever put the car in sport-mode, but the noise was still present. Putting the car in sport-mode seemed to be a "cheat" to allow the mechanics to hear the noise better (and at all) as the noise didn't occur 100% of the time when hitting 2100 RPM. So it is false that it ONLY happened in sport-mode. The mechanic just forced the issue as it seemed to occur more often in sport-mode during his tests and stuck with that mode throughout the testing.

  23. Lower Arm illustration and guidance from the Workshop Manual... NOTICE: Suspension fasteners affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure may result in major service expense. If replacement is necessary install new parts with the same part numbers or equivalent part. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Tighten the fasteners to specification during reassembly. NOTICE: Tighten the suspension bushing fasteners with the weight of the vehicle resting on the wheels and tires or incorrect clamp load and bushing damage may occur. Good luck!

  24. Seems like going 7.5k on oil changes is pushing it. I do mine at 4-4500. I am using OEM semi synthetic as recommended by the dealer. The dealer did say using full synthetic would allow me to go longer on the interval. I think the turbochargers are dependent on good clean oil. Just my thoughts.

  25. If the steering wheel heating is not included in the package, this can be easily fixed. Buy a kit on the secondary market and install it. The work is not difficult and anyone can do it. Make changes using Forscan to three modules APIM, IPC and FCIM. You can change the heating temperature as desired.

  27. A recent update brought it back! The reload circle arrow in the upper right can be used (only once every 30 seconds) to update the current location while it is being driven. I don't know when or what version of FordPass on Android got it, I pretty much gave up on it, but my wife got a flat tire (FordPass let me know) so I checked the location since it said it was running and not parked, and it's current location wasn't where it was parked last, and it updated to a closer location once I used the reload button.

  28. Ford Edge 2013 SEL FWD 3.5L with Sync2 + NAV I find the 'touch' action on the center console rather a distraction when driving. Often I need to look down to make sure I'm touching the correct button for comfort (heat/cooling, etc.). It would be so much easier to do this without looking if they were actual buttons, as in most other vehicles. Does anyone know of a center console replacment that has buttons instead of the touch?

  29. Reviving an old thread because the description is similar to what I've noticed on my 2017 Sport. I haven't rotated tires for quite some time and this past weekend I notice wear in the inboard edge of both front tires - other than that all four are wearing very evenly. See photos of the right front wheel. What's your thoughts on the cause? Also, where can I find the alignment spec for my 2017 Sport? Also, my work colleague races his Corvette and just sold his string alignment kit and bought the Gyraline Alignment kit which he says he's very happy with - any first hand experience here?

  30. 2024 Edge Workshop Manual - China region... Placing your device cursor over underlined acronyms may yield popup full-words meanings for acronyms. Auto Hold The auto hold feature is activated and deactivated through the use of the auto hold switch located on the FCIM . For the system to activate, the vehicle must not be moving, the driver safety belt must be buckled and the driver door must be closed. The ABS module receives the driver safety belt buckle status from the RCM and driver door status from the BCM , while brake system pressure and the wheel speed are received from ABS sensors. This information allows the ABS module to determine if the vehicle is stopped. Once the previous conditions have been met the auto hold feature can be activated. When the switch is pressed, the FCIM receives a ground signal from the auto hold switch and sends an auto hold message to the GWM over the HS-CAN3 . The GWM relays the message to the ABS module over the FD-CAN . The ABS module then sends a message to the instrument cluster through the GWM indicating the auto hold feature has been activated and the instrument cluster illuminates the auto hold indicator. The auto hold indicator illuminates when the IPC receives a message from the ABS module through the GWM . Once the auto hold feature is activated and the driver presses the brake pedal, the ABS module closes the isolation valves in the HCU to maintain the current brake system pressure at the wheel ends. The ABS module maintains the pressure until the driver presses the accelerator pedal, shifts the transmission into PARK or after a specific time limit has been reached. The ABS module engages the parking brake after 2-10 minutes, depending on the grade of incline the vehicle is currently stopped on, the steeper the grade, the shorter the time. Auto Hold Switch The auto hold switch is a momentary contact, push button switch and is part of the FCIM . Normal Operation and Fault Conditions Vehicles equipped with EPB are also equipped with an auto hold feature. This feature must be enabled by the driver by pressing the auto hold switch once the driver seatbelt is buckled and the driver door is closed. Pressing the auto hold switch in the FCIM enables the auto hold feature, but does not activate auto hold. When the switch is pressed, the FCIM sends a message to the ABS module indicating the system has been enabled. The ABS module then waits for messages from the RCM and BCM as well as ABS sensor information to indicate the auto hold feature can be activated. Once all criteria has been met, the ABS module activates the auto hold feature. In the case of a system error, the instrument cluster displays messages and icons. China region Search-function is not locating Auto Hold switch and other FCIM controls in Wiring Diagrams or Workshop Manual procedures, and no China-region Owner's Manual is shown. Hopefully, the above verbiage provides you sufficient Auto Hold awareness at this stage of your inquiry. Good luck!

  31. For that VIN and generally for 2020 Edge -- which is the latest listed model year shown -- no mention or depiction of AutoHold switch or circuits/connectors in the China region Wiring Resource, though the China region Workshop Manual includes identification of the Instrument Panel Cluster's AutoHold Reconfigurable TellTale (RTT) indicator lamp in an IPC illustration... ...and as you mentioned previously, a single reference to AutoHold in the China region HTML format Owner's Manual, which is the only format in which the Owner's Manual is offered... Good luck!

  32. Last night I upgraded the rear wheel speed sensors with the bi-directional ones. I parked a car on the street to test. My neighbors must have thought that I was the worst driver ever. I drove past the car about 30 times. I am going to have to replace the front side parking sensors with the correct long range ones. Sometimes I would get false detections of parking spots. The system had a difficult time measuring the parking spot. Sometimes it would detect the space, but then it gave up and never told me to shift into reverse. Sometimes it got way too close where the front tire was going to hit the car. However, after many trials, I got a few good results. I got to experience active park assist. It was nice that I could shift between reverse and drive any time so that the system would make its next move. I also tried park out assist and it worked well. Next: 1. An ABS module replacement is not required. We do not need to upgrade to CADS3. 2. Long range parking sensors are required to accurately detect parking spaces. Standard “HU5T-15K859” sensors will work as a parking aid, but they don’t measure parking spaces well.

  36. I am confused. Are there drivability concerns, or are you looking at the Intelligent AWD Information display, or something else, like the Lane Keeping and it is visually alerting you of crossing a line? I haven't seen a 2019 AWD display, and if it accounts for the new to 2019 disconnect or not. I have only seen it show front and rear bias, not side to side, which would be ESC but usually not in minor normal driving.

  39. When you pull the cooler out, keep in mind that there is a fiber gasket at the end of the cooler along with another O-ring. If that comes off, then you might end up with a fiber gasket floating around in the PTU. See pics:

  40. I'mI just graduated from my 300,000 mile 2008 Edge SEL to a 2022 Titanium w/30K miles. A first for me having a display screen, let alone a tablet sized screen! But I'm chasing my tail on how/where to mount my phone. In my '08 I used a stick on magnetic mount, and it was very convenient. I realize that I do have the tablet-sized display screen with Android Auto, but I just like to have my actual device within easy reach. I would love to see photos of where you mounted your mobile devices. I'm not a fan of the vent louver mounts or mounts that put the phone in front of the vent though.

  41. As this is only happening with the front, left brake, it really sounds like the brake fluid is flowing into the caliper (brakes applied) but unable to completely flow out; until it slowly bleeds off when sitting. If so, I'd suspect a sticking brake caliper piston, kink in the brake hose, caliper pins needing greasing or air in caliper.

  42. I find it somewhat puzzling - the front bearing support bracket was mentioned as problematic - correcting the bracket with the old drive shaft still had the noise. A new driveshaft resulted in no more noise - so was it a problem driveshaft all along?

  47. My further cross-checking indicates SSM 53530 applies to F-150, Maverick, Mustang, Mustang Mach-E, and Transit. SSM 53530 - 2021-2025 Various Vehicles - Heated/Cooled Seats, Heated Steering Wheel And/Or Front/Rear Defrost Inoperative After Remote Start Event Some 2021-2025 Ford vehicles may exhibit a condition where heated/cooled seats, heated steering wheel and/or front/rear defrost features will not turn on after a remote start is performed through the FordPass application or the key fob. These features then operate normally when commanded in the center display screen. This may be due to the customer not setting up their "Climate Settings" through the FordPass mobile application. To correct this condition, inform the customer they should perform a remote start from FordPass and then adjust the "Climate Settings" in the FordPass application as desired. These settings only need to be set once and will persist through subsequent remote starts. Heated and cooled seats will be set to Level 2 when turned ON via "Climate Settings" in FordPass during a remote start event. This is normal operating characteristic. This condition does not affect vehicle durability and no additional diagnosis or service is required for this condition at this time.
