Ref- Associated Connectors that tie into the (Trailer-Connected Message)
Inspect for moisture and corrosion at these connectors
C4099 - Back side of 4/7 Connector
And C422
Those look good, and there is another possibility for this system and that is:
A restricted exhaust system or clogged DPF or leaking creating backpressure disturbance which in turn is causing the MAF sensor and EGR Valve to become erratic.
Just another thought of a possible
But for me - the...
Out of curiosity - as another possibility I thought about, as we can see the MAF signal is erratic but have yet to 100% confirm is it truly a signal issue or is it a (bad command) issue from another sensor (Input) to the PCM
You have eliminated the (EGR Valve) and have checked the TPS & APP PIDs...
The way it is spiking - leads me to think its a signal issue and or a bad ground
Going on the (Assumption) that the connector is wired (Left to Right - using your pic)
Blue = IAT Signal
Green = 12 Volts
Redish / Orange = Ground
Green / Orange = MAF Signal
I suspect either a bad ground or a bad...
If the (Blue) Trace is the MAF - it's all over the place and should be a more stable signal.
I would install the (Ford) MAF sensor and see if it becomes a more stable reading, you can also go through the wiring checks for the signal wire and or have that PID up (At Idle) and shake the wire...
I have a question.
Did the original IPC display both the Gear Indications? (Drive and Sport)
and are you using a - Full Lariat (IPC) As-Built or just trying to write certain addresses?
I would have to dig, but I believe you may be the first to Upgrade - most downgrade for the bigger Tach
You...
As far as sport mode - the left display will show gear (indication)
As far as temps the left display will show a engine coolant (vertical graph) and the right will show a repeater of the Outside Temp
The Ranger does not have the options like the F-150 for various temperature displays - this is...
Another possible is sometimes the Signal Wire is also 5 volts (unplugged) the PCM provides 5 volts on the signal wire and the sensor provides the ground path
The 5 Volt VREF is simply power only to the sensor.
The signal return is a 5 Volt supply and the resistance to ground = MAF signal
The 12...
I am going to use a (Possible) Pinout - Not Confirmed - (Left To Right)
Pin 1 (Blue) = IAT Signal
Pin 2 (Green) = 12 Volt Power Supply
Pin 3 (Violet / Red) = Signal Return / Ground
Pin 4 (Green / Orange) = MAF Signal
KOEO - Sensor Disconnected (Meter)
Black Lead to (Battery Negative) and Red...
Yes - I think the issue is a combination of both.
The outer shell (Trash Can) gets nicked or galled from the friction plates, they hang up and then burn up, the prior TSB’s only had a revised can this TSB adds a revised set of plates along with the can.
I can assume some kind of material change...
