@m4rioo: Ford OASIS info for your Edge's VIN confirms 315 MHz... VIN-based TPMS sensor search from Ford's online parts-selling site... Radio frequency interference can negatively impact TPM systems, per the 2022-2024 Edge Workshop Manual, included below and more fully covered in the attached PDF documents... Placing your device cursor over underlined acronyms may yield popup full-words descriptions of the acronyms. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) RFI can be caused by: Video equipment has been found to cause RFI especially when the video and power supply lines are near the TPMS . Anti-theft alarms (even those installed by the dealership) have been found to create enough RFI to cause the TPMS to malfunction or lose considerable range. These anti-theft alarms can be difficult to locate, as they are usually hidden somewhere out of the way for reduced accessibility. Many in-vehicle cell phone chargers have been found to cause considerable RFI . The vehicles with the power point closest to the RTM are the most affected. It must be noted that most cell phone chargers do not produce high levels of RFI all the time. This depends on the state of charge of the cell phone battery. The phone battery must be almost completely discharged in some cases. Power supplies and DC / AC inverters typically create a lot of RFI . Most consumer grade equipment has very little filtering or shielding. Using Hit Rate Parameter Identifiers (PIDs) to Determine the Presence of RFI If an intermittent RFI issue is suspected, the information contained in the last 5 TPMS warning event Parameter Identifiers (PIDs) can be combined with specific Parameter Identifiers (PIDs) from the BCM to determine which TPMS sensors are being affected and if a RFI source is currently present in the vehicle. The BCM module contains Parameter Identifiers (PIDs) used to keep track of the number of TPMS messages received from the 4 trained TPMS sensors. These Parameter Identifiers (PIDs) can provide insight on the performance of the TPMS , and can help establish the presence of an Frequency Interference (RFI) source. TPM_HITS_LF (Tire Pressure Monitor Hit Rate Left Front) – The number of TPMS messages received by the BCM module from the LH front sensor TPM_HITS_RF (Tire Pressure Monitor Hit Rate Right Front) – The number of TPMS messages received by the BCM module from the RH front sensor. TPM_HITS_LRO (Tire Pressure Monitor Hit Rate Left Rear Outer) – The number of TPMS messages received by the BCM module from the LH rear sensor TPM_HITS_RRO (Tire Pressure Monitor Hit Rate Right Rear Outer) – The number of TPMS messages received by the BCM module from the RH rear sensor. Method for determining if a RFI issue has been affecting the TPMS : Collect the last 5 TPMS events and determine if they were due to system faults or low tire air pressure. Collect the TPMS Hit Rate PID counters and compare them to the last 5 TPMS events. If the TPMS Hit Rate PID counters are significantly different from each other or if the locations with lower hit rate values show up as fault locations in last 5 TPMS events and BCM DTC B124D:02 (Tire Pressure Sensor: General Signal Failure) is present, an intermittent RFI source is most likely preventing the signals from these TPMS sensors from reaching the BCM . An intermittent RFI source can also be the case when all 4 TPMS sensors show up in the last 5 fault events and BCM DTC B1182:00 (Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): No Sub Type Information) is present. The possible cause would a strong source of RFI noise. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Modules In some cases the RFI may actually be caused by a module or ground on the vehicle. Depending on the severity of the concern, a dirty ground, improperly built ground shield or module can disable the system. Modules that have microcontrollers using clock circuits to create timing pulses for the microprocessor may radiate RFI . Using Customer Electronics to Pinpoint RFI This method can be a way to determine the cause of a concern before the sensors and module are replaced with little or no effect on system performance. Discuss with the customer what types of devices they were using when the event occurred. Determine which power points are being used and, if necessary, ask the devices be activated to determine their affect on the TPMS . Options for Eliminating Intermittent TPMS Operation Caused by RFI If an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component or customer device is causing a RFI concern, replace the device. If a phone charger is causing a RFI concern, the customer should consult with their cell phone provider to acquire a different battery charger. If a device such as a dealer installed anti-theft alarm is causing a RFI concern, move the device to another location in the vehicle. In the case of a portable device move the power cord to another power point location. In summary, if the RFI source is present and cannot be moved or replaced, the intermittent concern remains. The TPMS must accept the unwanted system operation the RFI can cause. Good luck!

Sounds dramatic doesn't it.! In my over 60 years of owning vehicles, including 5 or 6 Ford products, I have learned many things....especially about FORD products. I've loved everyone I've owned, mostly for their drive-ability. I like the handling, the performance, style, and comfort of all of them. I've owned two Edges. The most recent was a 2019 SEL. My first, in a very long time, 4 banger. I think that the Turbo made all the difference. I enjoyed driving that car. I decided that since my age was getting up there, I would really maintain that car. I was very motivated to keep it a long time. Much so that I had the transmission fluid changed at 89,000 miles. That was a $500 maintenance item. Also a new battery about a year ago. Lastly, new tires six months ago. Here is where the story changes...at least for me (us). In the past, I've had issues with one Ford over Wheel Bearings. Seemed to be the rage back then. I believe it was an Explorer. Then was the Expedition. LOVED that vehicle. But it seemed to always have an issue. Not huge, just some little thing going wrong. Then one of my first Edges. That one was actually relatively trouble free. Just the 'normal' things happening. Now, this last one. The one that I just traded. The one where I put new tires, battery, and TRANSMISSION into. Yup, the one that I kept serviced to the 9s! At 89,000 miles the transmission went out!! The mighty 8 speed transmission, kaput!. $7000 to replace it! Fortunately, I had bought an extended warranty from ROUTE 66, through my credit union. I say fortunately, because when I bought the car at my "LOCAL" Ford dealer, they offered my any one of three extended warranties. FORD, CHRYSLER, AND ZURICK. All of these were just too expensive. So, when it came time for the transmission issue, I went back to my purchasing dealer. THEY REFUSED(at first), TO TAKE THE ROUTE66 policy. They eventually agreed to take it, but it was TO LATE!! I took it to another dealer who had no trouble taking the Route66 warranty! So, after buying something like 5 vehicles, in 20 years, at the "local" dealer, our relationship ended! I was also pissed that the vehicle that I maintained so well, was starting to nickle and dime me to death!! The transmission was just not acting right (the replacement did have a 3yr, unlimited mileage warranty). I just did not want to deal with it anymore. Also, the windshield washer decided to act wounded. I researched how to change it out ($70), or have it done, ($180hr plus the part). Research showed me that the inner fender had to be removed for access!. Then the rear power hatch or door or whatever it's called, would every so often get a mind of it's own. I probably was looking at it wrong but it just was thinking of becoming a problem. All this was very frustrating......BUT, the real kicker........Whenever we went to our local Hardee's for breakfast, I had to back on the far side of the parking lot!! Yup, something would affect the wireless gremlins inside the critter so that the Keyless entry system would not work. I could not lock or unlock the car, nor, on several occasions would it start. Frustrating...for sure. The dealer's input, it's Hardee's drive through WIRELESS system that was messing up my Edge. Part further away! ( me with two bad knees and a handicap plate!) In conclusion.....I got rid of that Ford Edge! After 80 years, I bought my FIRST FOREIGN car. A SUBARU FORRESTER. I have remained pretty much in the background in these forums. Occasionally posting but mostly watching and learning for many of YOU. THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU. ADIOS!!

It should have it as it was standard on the 2016-2018 Sports. This post shows the difference between steering wheels, with and without.

I don't remember it being announced, but they just cancelled it quietly. I think it is probably for cost reduction especially since there were issues and a recall or a customer satisfaction recall for it. Also, probably because the feature didn't seem to get enough credit from reviews or owners to make it feasible. Although I personally like the feature and find it useful.

Also, as far as I know, the oil life monitor also takes into account time with the maximum time being 12 months. So if you change the oil as suggested above at 50%, you would be more certainly changing the oil at no more than 5,000 mile or 6 months from when it was last reset. Or you can interpolate the interval you want, knowing that 100% means 10k miles or 12 months. For example, 60% oil life balance would mean 4k miles or 4.8 months.

@m4rioo: As @1004ron describes, when a Ford Service outlet in Poland enters your Edge's VIN in OASIS via the Poland edition of the Professional Technician System (PTS) website, the Warning Messages immediately inform them that your Edge is a USA-market vehicle... ...and while Emissions Recall 24E09 shows among Outstanding Field Service Actions, OASIS provides no information on 24E09 on the Poland OASIS/PTS website, meaning the Recall is not applicable in your region, so I do not expect that a properly configured (for Europe/Poland) FRDS would provide the update -- but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The PCM update provided under 24E09 involves false (incorrect) indications of Catalyst performance that would indicate the indicated Catalyst needs replacement. Now, I'm unsure whether Emissions Testing in Poland/Europe relies upon OBD/electronic data to provide a Pass/Fail rating, but in the event that your Edge throws the DTC indicating a need for Catalyst replacement -- if available in your area -- you could have the Catalyst effectiveness verified by getting a "sniffer" tailpipe-inserted probe/sensor test to verify if the Catalyst performance is in compliance with your country/regional standards, or if Emissions standards or testing requirements don't apply, you'll at least know via a "sniffer" tailpipe Emissions test the Catalyst's authentic condition -- if your Edge ever does throw a DTC saying your Edge's Catalyst is performing in a sub-standard manner, which it may never do. On the other shown Outstanding Field Service Action -- Safety Recall 25S49 -- that is Europe-active and Poland OASIS/PTS provides the following information... 25S49 - Cross Carline: Rear View Camera (RVC) Software Update - Vehicle Hold Date Published: 20 May 2025 Confidential Reference:25S49 Subject: Cross Carline: Rear View Camera (RVC) Software Update -- Vehicle Hold Special Attention: The Recall Co-ordinator should have overall responsibility for implementing this action within your Dealership and Retail Dealer(s). Introduction In some of the affected vehicles, the rear-view camera may not work as intended. Customers may experience a frozen screen, followed by a black screen and a system reboot. Service Instructions are under development and will be released as soon as possible. In the meantime, NEW vehicles (irrespective if sold, unsold, registered or unregistered) must not be released to customers. These vehicles must be held and not sold or used for demonstration purposes until further instructions are published. Vehicles Affected Affected vehicles will be identified on OASIS.

So, Ford Service outlets there have only been provided this early notification on 25S49, but nothing can be done until the repair procedures are developed and made available to them. You could check in with them, in a calm & cordial manner to see if -- since 25S49 is active in Poland -- your USA-market Edge might be eligible -- though, you may run into that same barrier of "It's a USA-market vehicle and not eligible". Good luck!

@m4rioo: If you're curious about the meaning of the various markings on TPMS sensors, see... General Service Bulletin 25-7012 - Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) Identification Glad to hear your question is not due to any TPMS malfunction. Please let us know what brand/model of wheels & winter tires you eventually decide upon. Good luck!

I believe so. I plugged in your VIN at the Ford website and thats the p/n that was returned. Picture looks the same as what you posted. Too soon for a TPMS battery to die. Why are you needing just one sensor.?

If you are talking about a 2023 Edge, Ford lists the part as: Part #: TPMS35 (F2GZ1A189A) MSRP: $83.62 (local dealer price is $60.25 ea.)

Does anyone know if anybody else has posted Forscan (or other software) data showing the actual runtime voltages from the DPFE sensor? I have read the diagnostic procedures posted here and elsewhere and those check out for me, but I'm still trying to figure out if both my original sensor and new one are wonky, or if there is possibly something wrong with the wiring on my vehicle. That signal just looks so noisy to me. I have registered over on the Ranger 5G site to try and get any info those folks might provide. I'll post anything I find that appears as though it could possibly help us, (unless they shun me for driving a lowly Edge, and not a manly truck )

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.

I have one more major problem that concerns my car. I will allow myself to copy the email (to which I did not get a response) that I sent to Ford USA. "Good Morning I have a 2023 Ford Edge from the USA with VIN number 2FMPK4K95PBA29008. I imported the car to Europe, more specifically to Poland. The car has a recall #24E09 to be carried out. Ford Poland refuses any possibility of carrying out this recall in Poland. Is it possible to send instructions directly to the service in Poland to carry out such a recall ? I have been a Ford lover for many years, so I really want my car to receive the latest updates, but unfortunately the Polish Ford representative completely ignored me. I kindly ask for help in resolving this matter."

I went from a '19 Edge to a '22 Edge Titanium. My '22 Edge is missing 2 things that the older one had. The biggest thing missing is being able to lock and unlock the car from the back doors, I really miss that. I can't figure why they would take that away. A small thing that is different, but I still miss it is the center council doesn't have 2 buttons and tray isn't hinged.

Ever figure out how to get the hands free liftgate working? Personally I'm happy with my foot-free liftgate; but I'd be pissed if a H.F. came on my car and didn't work.

Any way I can get in your will? I'd sure like a shot at that Z28!

I hear ya. Well, your post has me convinced that it as something to do with EGR too. Maybe even MAP or TPS. It is definitely some sensor contributing to engine management at low part throttle. I dont know much about newer systems, but I was doing my apprenticeship when GM started with efi, and EGR only came into play once the engine was at operating temp and in closed loop. I like the vehicle too. Mine is over 160,000 kms now and no torque convertor issues. At this point, if it goes, I will replace the whole trans myself rather than lose money trading it in for something with similar problems. I'm done throwing money at Ford Credit. My kids will get this car in my will!

Can't remember if my 2017 Sport has this - will check when I get home.

I couldn't find a specific topic for this, so I posted it here since I have an ST. I neglected to note the last time I changed the oil. Out of character for me. Of course, I know the oil life monitor will tell me, but I live in Phoenix with intense heat and often change it earlier. Will Forscan show the date the oil life monitor was reset? I don't see that available on the in-dash screen. I use Amsoil and had ordered enough for several oil changes a while ago, so I don't know when I did it last. Thanks!

I'm only 9,000 miles since 2 oil changes ago, so I'm not due yet, just would be nice to know the date. I believe I did it about 3,000 miles ago. I do some long road trips, but in between those I drive the Edge very little. Also, I use Amsoil and they say you can go 20,000, but I never exceed 10,000.

It's been a while and unfortunately I can't recommend this vendor anymore. I had multiple LEDs fail in his light strips. He was nice enough to send me replacement strips free of charge but they soon failed as well. When I tried to remove his 3D printed parts, the double sided tape was so strong it ended up breaking them into multiple pieces. When asked why his lights failed he said they weren't intended for use as running lights, and said maybe they'd be better suited as additional turn signals, as they wouldn't be on as long, although his ad doesn't say that. I ended up purchasing a new strip of LED waterproof lights from these guys in Vermont: https://www.ledsupply.com/led-strips/waterproof-12v-led-strip I got 3 feet, red, and 60 LED high density. They are waterproof rated to IP65 and were only $19.99. They are the same width as what I originally had but about a hair thicker. I did use his idea but with the factory reflectors this time. I notched out the bottom of the red OEM reflectors enough to slide the new LEDs in (after I cut them to length), but had to drill a hole in the back side (which afterwards I covered with waterproof tape) in order to file out a small interior factory manufactured seam. After that the strip slid right it, wired it up, and it has been working absolutely perfectly. And now I have the best of both worlds.....running lights and reflectors!

This message appears at random times. As soon as the engine is turned on, or while it is running, whether driving fast or slow. The scanner does not show any error or fault code. The PTU oil was changed a while ago before this problem appeared, so it would not be overheating or anything like that. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? And one thing I discovered after a while is that this lag problem in the turn signal only occurs after the AWD off message appears. While it doesn't appear, the turn signals work perfectly. It seems that when the AWD off appears, the entire dashboard lags, turn signals, high and low beams, hazard lights, everything lags/delays.

I had seen this topic. However, my case is different. It is not about overheating. For example, I can leave my car parked for the entire weekend. When I get in and start the engine, two days later with the car completely cold, the message appears on the screen in the same second. And other times, it appears after driving for several minutes, randomly, without depending on any sudden acceleration, overtaking or anything like that, just normal use.

I would search for a loose/bad ground.

Both the forscan and the professional scanner from the mechanic do not show any codes, either with the warning appearing, or in the archived codes, nothing appears in relation to the AWD being turned off

So far so good. If it does come back, it could be a weak battery issue.

Thanks. Lots of differences. I will have plenty to do on rainy days.😊

My screen was often delayed in coming on , up to 2 minutes after starting to drive. (2022 Edge). Dealership fixed by checking Oasis TSB- 22-2419. Was getting message for a while about system power shutting down… Battery was checked and failed, and was replaced on warranty. These two issues may be related, as a friend with a 22 Edge was having the same screen problem, and quoted the Oasis fix, vehicle was checked and battery replaced on warranty

I did not get it to show up. I confirmed that it was powered up and I am 99% sure that the CAN2 was hooked up properly as well. I assume that the profile characteristics are in as built database. I cannot figure out how to fool the system. It would be interesting to compare my 2019 ST with a 2019 Nautilus with and without Adaptive suspension. Can we still get the as built data by VIN number? I don't remember how to view the as built data, can someone remind me?

So I can go with option B without any problems whatsoever, right? And the markings are for all the sensors or just the inner 2 ones?

Check this video. Probably it is what you are facing. Another reason for it to happen, not mentioned in the video, is a weak car battery.

Recall has showed up in my Fordpass app. for the backup camera.

If your Edge is part of the recall I'd definitely take it to a different dealership. I got the notice for this recall but haven't taken my 22 in yet.

Here's a listing (part number and price) from Ford dealer of all parts in rear bumper. 2022 Furd Edge, Titanium. ☆None are marked discontinued. As for price; drop your drawers, bend over, smile and yell "sock it to me, you filthy bastards." https://www.fordpartsconnect.com/v-2022-ford-edge--titanium--2-0l-l4-gas/body--bumper-and-components-rear

It fit perfectly. I yet have to add the screw that goes through the wheel well. Attached is a picture from the installation, note how it fit tight against the tow hitch.

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.

Haz Having exhausted all my resources I decided to take a gamble and buy this part for my 2024 Titanium with tow pkg. So I ordered FT4Z-5811778-C instead of the KT4Z..... which fits the 2018 Edge. It arrived to day and it is a perfect fit, I do not have to modify it but still have to drill in the spare tire well for the middle screw. Attached are pics of the part and will post more when I get it installed, piece of cake but not for today. It is of plastic. I mistakenly ordered 2 of the same. Anyone can have it for what I paid I think was $60. You can pick it up from Northwest Indiana

Rear seats were optional on the 23. (Had to by the optional passenger comfort option. However that package also came with rear seat, color coordinated, cup holders.) 😉

Ok. The part arrived. Super easy install. Took me about 20 minutes including rounding up some parts. This did not come with screws so I ran to the auto parts store and got some #8 screws with washers. Be aware that the washers need to be bigger than the ones that came on the screws I bought, so be prepared for that. This is where the ends of the bracket attach. Remove nut on both ends. Now you just slide the front of the shield over the muffler and lift the floppy bumper enough to slide it in place on top of the bumper so the holes align. The tabs on the end of the shield go on the studs where you removed the nuts so screw those back on as seen below. Now just screw in the 4 screws you got and that is it. Simple. I am going to go back and look at the drawings because there is still a gap in the center that I don’t like. If I can’t find a part, I will make something. I don’t want sand and dirt collecting in there. The gap looks larger than it is because of the wide angle on the phone. It’s still too big for my taste. At least the bumper is no longer loose.

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.

What a coincidence, I just put some zip-tie straps on my 22 ST today. There is no rear bumper cover shield on these vehicles. I went to the dealer when I noticed how the bottom isn't attached to anything, yet there are 4 holes there that look like they should clip to something. They had 4 or 5 new ST models with trailer hitch, and every one of them was the same. I can imagine at higher speeds this thing is just flapping in the wind. At least the ties will stop that somewhat. If you just touch your foot on the bottom of the bumper cover, you can move it back and forth several inches and even the fake chrome tailpipe extenders move like crazy. The dealer also told me this is how they are supposed to be. I saw this topic on the Ford Edge ST Nation Facebook page. Evidently they are all like this. Very poor workmanship for a $50k plus vehicle. Here's the link to the facebook page. The post is from July 2nd regarding loose rear bumper cover. Ford Edge ST Nation | Facebook
