  1. Hit a curb with the rear right tire while turning and damaged the tire. Immediately got a low tire pressure warning.

    Installed the donut spare and used the vehicle for approximately half a day till I got a replacement tire. What was interesting is that although I did not get an AWD off warning in the instrument cluster, the Edge was actually running FWD only. As it should as per the owners manual. I confirmed that with the AWD Guage and how easily traction control would come on. And the Torque Steer. Can't imagine how 2015 FWD Sports are driving daily like that.

  2. The perimeter+ is not installed factory, even though it is an approved Ford part. Do the actual install location might differ.

     

    If I recall correctly, the recommended location is strapped to a steel bar that can be accessed behind the left drawer/fuse cover. The one near the driver's left knee. Pull out the drawer and look inside towards the center of the vehicle.

    omar302 Would this be something the dealer would due as a recall type of thing or will I have to pay for it. 

     

    Only if the vehicle still has a running warranty. Original bumper to bumper warranty, Powertrain Warranty or an Extended warranty. Otherwise no.

  4. There was a Special Service Message 44354. "2011-2013 Edge, Explorer, MKX, Taurus, MKT and FLEX - 3.5L/3.7L (Ti-VCT) - Oil in the Air Intake. Some 2011-2013 with 3.5l or 3.&L variable cam timing engine built on or before 3/31/2012 may exhibit engine oil in the air systems may be caused by an accumulation of oil in the left hand valve coverbaffle migrating through the fresh air intake carnkcase ventilation (PCV) system. Oil on the ir flter or oil at the electrocnic throttle body may also be observed. Valve cover BR#Z-6582-M has been released to resolve this concern. Residual oil in the intake air system damage and can be removed using a clean rag. Use available service labor times for left hand valve cover repairs. EFFECTIVE DATE: 13-JAN-2014".

     

    There might be a more clear documentation out there, but this is what i found quickly.

     Anything I should watch for with this job?

     

    If you have the Lane Keep Assist/ Warning, then it should need calibration, ForScan can do it.

     

    The only other thing I can think of is to make sure the replacement windshield is with the sound insulation like the original. Some replacements are regular laminated without the extra sound insulation.

    I have a high pitched noise. I believe it is the active noise cancellation. Some stray off frequency tone its generating when attempting to cancel engine noise. I plan to deactivate via forscan to test my theory. 

     

    When a door ajar the active noise cancelation (ANC) is disabled. So you can test it quickly by just opening a door slightly, for the door ajar warning to come on, and if the noise is from ANC it should disappear/change immediately.

    not sure on mileage... 50k top limit?

     

    Ford's powertrain warranty is 5 years or 60K miles, whichever occurs first.

    The ACC system does not function if the vehicle speed is below 20 km/h (12 mph). As the vehicle slows down during automatic braking, the ACC system discontinues braking at 20 km/h (12 mph). At that speed, an audible alarm sounds and the automatic braking from the ABS module is released. The driver must take over the vehicle braking control.

     

    I thought in 2019+ models Ford added Stop & Go and that the ACC worked till 0.

  9. I am not sure if anyone tried it on an Edge, but I'd guess the fog lights acting as "cornering lights" should work. You can try the changes as per the 2015-2020 F-150 sheet.

     

    For the Fuel range on the right screen, I fairly confident it is not easily done. If it is possible, it will at least involve a firmware upgrade. You'll first need to check if the hardware is the same, then find the firware files for a new Edge ST and flash it on your 2020 ST.

    Not knocking you either. The previous Gen RDU's also stated that they didn't need serviced. Do a little bit of research on the previous Gen RDU issues & you can see that their recommendations/service intervals aren't always accurate. 

     

    If I'm not mistaken, the previous generation issues were from the PTU. RDU failures are rare.

    As for @JGN12 point on maximum maintenance life, comparing vehicles (Ford) to other complex systems (including aeronautical), the difference lies, in my opinion, in designed service life. Planes & helicopters I believe are designed to serve a much longer life than automobiles.

    For you guys doing Forscan changes, do you have a spreadsheet somewhere on this site? I am a member on F150forum and we have an EXTENSIVE spreadsheet. Thanks

     

    There is no extensive sheet for the Edge, only some personal (small) sheets and mods all over this thread (edit: and this thread).

     

    However, the 2015-2020 F-150, 2016-2019 Explorer and 2013+ Fusion sheets are mostly applicable to 2015+ Edges. Though I am not sure for newer Edges with Sync4A if it is still applies or not.
