Test Procedure

2021 Ford Edge SE, 4WDSECTION Test Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2018 Ford Transit-350, 2018 Ford Transit-250, 2018 Ford Transit-150, and 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  • FB1 PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS 
    NOTE: Diagnose circuit DTCs before range or performance DTCs.

    Are DTCs P007B, P007C, P007D, P007E or P026A present? 

    Yes No
    GO to  FB2. RETURN to SYMPTOM CHARTS for further direction.
  • FB2 CHECK FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • CACT Sensor connector disconnected.
    • For Transit,
    • PCM-T connector disconnected.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) CACT Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) PCM-T Connector, Harness Side
      CACT - Pin 1 CACT - Pin 11
      SIGRTN - Pin 2 SIGRTN - Pin 6
    • For all others,
    • PCM-E connector disconnected.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) CACT Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) PCM-E Connector, Harness Side
      CACT - Pin 1 CACT - Pin 13
      SIGRTN - Pin 2 SIGRTN - Pin 4

    Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  FB3. REPAIR the open circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  • FB3 CHECK FOR A SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS 
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) CACT Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-)
      CACT - Pin 1 Ground
      SIGRTN - Pin 2 Ground
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) CACT Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) CACT Sensor Connector, Harness Side
      CACT - Pin 1 SIGRTN - Pin 2

    Are the resistances greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  FB4. REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  • FB4 CHECK FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      (+) CACT Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-)
      SIGRTN - Pin 2 Ground
      CACT - Pin 1 Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. GO to  FB5.
  • FB5 INTERMITTENT CHECK 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the CACT_V (VOLT) PID.
    • While observing the PID, carry out the following:
    • Wiggle all accessible harness from the CACT sensor to the PCM and lightly tap on the sensor.
    • Wiggle the CACT sensor connector.
    • Look for sudden changes in the voltage when the harness and connector are wiggled or when the CACT sensor is tapped.

    Is a concern present? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR as necessary.
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    GO to  FB6.
  • FB6 TEMPERATURE SENSOR CORRELATION 
    NOTE: Check temperature values while engine is at ambient temperature, cold soak the engine for a minimum of 8 hours if necessary.
RENDER: 1.0x

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
