I'll just add that earlier models like 2011-2013 Edge & Explorer (didn't try newer) also give you the option to reset the oil life meter to any value in 10's (10, 20, 30...100%) which is useful if you want a reminder in less than 10k intervals. For example, resting to 50% will make the oil life warning come after 5k miles (starts when 5% or 500 miles is left). Also, on another note, I wished if Ford programmed the oil life meter for our area, as here Ford recommends 5k intervals but 100% life still represents 10k miles.

Exterior Key Pad - No code...
omar302 replied to nittanydoug's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Also the latest beta version of Forscan software can read the code. -
Out of experience with a 2011 MKX, 2011 & 2015 Expeditions, and a 2013 Explorer, all running in extreme conditions, a lot of idling, traffic and high ambient temperatures, the Ford oil life indicator comes on with mileage only. 100% for 10k miles.

AC Suddenly Stopped Blowing Cold Air
omar302 replied to tamugrad2013's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Thanks autom8r. In the past 1-2 years I have noticed that my A/C wouldn't be as cold during idle as compared when driving & had attributed this to the car getting older (now 6 years & 68k miles). Reading your post got thinking I might have a Fan issue as I have been noticing that the fan was not becoming annoyingly noisy in the summer as I remember. I do have the factory Tow Package (with 2x 40A fuses) so Tested it as per your quoted post. Now just to note I do not have any overheating issue, only A/C in idle has noticeable reduced cooling, especially when temperature reaches exceed 110F. With the engine cold (or warm in our 106 F climate today), with no A/C no fan would be running. Starting the A/C caused both fans to run, though the driver side was blowing more air. Without A/C, also both Fans would run, but quieter (slower speed), still driver side blowing more air. As per ForScan lite, the FANDC & FAN_DSD, both readings are ~ 92% with A/C on & both would vary together with A/C off (in short testing from 18-35%). Does the above indicate I have one bad fan? The passenger side which is slower than the driver side? I also noticed it is the one closer to the exhaust manifold & has some heat shield on the motor, giving me the impression it faces more stress. It is the original fan that came in the car, never replaced. Any other test I could do to confirm it is bad? -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
omar302 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
You can start the engine with the hood (edit: open), only not using the remote start function. Also the engine dies not turn off if the hood opens while driving. -

There is a Hood ajar switch, but no indicator. The switch is used for the perimeter alarm & remote start. Edges without remote start do not have the switch. AFAIK. -
Navigation removed after Sync2-V3.8 update

2011 Edge Bluetooth Module Failing
omar302 replied to Gortty-Pilot's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Try to test another phone before deciding it is a fault from the car. Do you have the latest update on MFT? Did you try to Master Reset MFT? Was your phone recently updated? may be that update isn't fully compatible, though I wouldn't think so. -
Finally purchased a 2013 SEL
omar302 replied to MemphisMike's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
That was the earlier method. Then they figured out it out. The short version, change as built data to enable NAV, install the NAV application & License/hack, finally, get a maps SD card. Really simple, unfortunately for me, Ford does not have a maps card for the GCC/Middle East! Edit: Didn't see candurin's post above!! he already answered. -
Finally purchased a 2013 SEL
omar302 replied to MemphisMike's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Actually with ForScan factory NAV can be added quite cheaply & easily. Just need to know how to do it. If you're into hacking & modding that is. -
Finally purchased a 2013 SEL
omar302 replied to MemphisMike's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
2013 has MyFord or MyFord Touch. If you have the small screen (non-touch) then it is Sync with MyFord only, if it is the 8" touch screen then it is MyFord Touch. The subscription nav is a voice turn by turn navigation, the 8" touch screen could also have offline full navigation. What does your 8" screen show in the top right corner? It should be when of these: 1- "Information": then it does not have navigation. 2-"Insert SD Card": Then you need the maps sd card to get NAV working. 3-"Navigation": then you should have NAV working. -
Ford recommends 10W30 for Middle East Edge/MKX, so it should not give him a problem. I would suspect that the low oil pressure is the symptom not the cause. Due to the engine cutting, combined with the low oil level (1/2 quart as mentioned by OP), it is causing the oil pressure to be low & get the message on the display.

ForScan Here is an old thread regarding the weights. 22" Stock was about 77-80 lbs each, 18" were about 58-60 lbs.
-
You should be able to program the new tire size, either yourself using ForScan or through a dealer. The AWD Sport had a shorter final drive ration (3.39) compared to the SE's (3.16), so that would definitely have an effect. Also the 22" are considerably heavier. No wonder early reveiws stated that SEL's were quicker than the Sport even though it had a larger engine.

Recreational Flat Towing - 2017 Edge
omar302 replied to BrentHG's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
Wouldn't that counter the reason why the battery was disconnected in the first place? -
From the above communication: Note that it states "If the PTU is determined to be repairable", so this "kit" does not repair everything with the PTU. Also this communication is related to the knocking/ticking noise only.
-
It also indicates there is a design change since it only applies to vehicles built before 30-June-2016.
-
Any information on the symptoms chart mentioned? Is it something I can follow to know if it is really the PTU?
-
Would a driveline clunk on accelerator tip in be caused by this? Dealer used to tell it is normal. It is similar to what rear wheel drive cars get when the rear diff had too much play.

Anyone successfully cleaned the inside of a gunked up PTU?

2015 Edge fob self actvates in pocket
omar302 replied to rurick's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
On the 2013+ Fusion there is mod using ForScan (as built data) that can disable the key fob Panic button, change it 2 presses or change it to lights only. Since the values for 2015+ Edge are in my cases similar to the 2013+ Fusion, it might be worth a try. (Under "Panic Alarm Setting") Also, there is an option for "Auto Re-Lock Doors" which would re-lock the vehicle if no door was opened after 45 seconds from unlocking. Also worth a try on the 2015+ Edge. 2GFusions - Ford As-Built Data Mods (DanMc85) -
Mine is a 2011 MKX, on ETIS it lists "With Ambient Lighting-Interior" In any case, MFT (MyFord Touch) versions 3.7 & above resolve the issue of TSB 14-0175 without any other action. So don't worry about it.
-
First thing to do is read the trouble codes with a OBD2 reader since the CEL comes on. Does try to guess it.

AC Suddenly Stopped Blowing Cold Air
omar302 replied to tamugrad2013's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
The 2.0 EcoBoost uses a different transmission compared to the 3.5/3.7L. I think it was 6F35 Vs. 6F50. So transmission issues are really different between them.
