It could be a number of factors, but if you are only having issues after it sits overnight or a long period of time.
Leads me to think of a few possibilities:
1. Ambient Temp or EVAP Temp Sensor - improper reading would be the primary sensors but the PCM factors in the other sensors on the...
Possibly using this - which is not shown the the wiring diagrams
A common application is in current sensing circuits. A small resistor (sense resistor) is placed in series with the source of the FET, and the voltage drop across this resistor is measured. Since the current through the resistor...
On the other side of the coin, we need to also factor in that they need to tap off of the Brake Light circuit for the input.
This adds a Power & Ground to the circuit that the FET is monitoring (Can Bus) sees this and can possibly trigger faults as its out of its monitoring OEM specs.
The...
The sensor was actually redesigned years ago, its been a known failure module for years with other models as well.
They changed from a metal housing to plastic, I believe a good change but still did not cure the issue entirely.
You would think by now they would have developed a less prone to...
I suspect the door seal is pooling water above the door and when it sits it follows the path (contour) of the seal to the floor
or
Windshield seal pooling water at the top left side and its seeping down the same path as above.
When you are driving - airflow across the windshield and seal stops...
Ok, as I said - I need to dig into how to truly use the Lab Scope
I could have used 2 signals on each (Screenshot) but was planning initially on picking up the (Light-Outputs) at the lights themselves but then decided on using the BCM Outputs for the lights instead.
I could not figure out how...
The only things that come to mind are: (If related to the install of the DPFE Only)
Bad From Stock (DPFE Sensor) or hose not fully secure or damaged connector or bad wire on that circuit that was disturbed and now is generating a new drivability symptom.
I am assuming you are asking the...
Top of the list possibilities
If Engine Oil - Engine Oil Cooler or Head Gasket
If Transmission Fluid - Transmission Oil Cooler
Sorry, we do not have the manuals for the 2.0 or 3.2 - ROW Rangers for a detailed T-Shoot.
But the above would cover all engines as highly likely spots.
Its not going to be AC, its still a DC Voltage, so the BCM is not limiting the voltage and its still a varying voltage the only way to see the (difference) between the 2 inputs would be to view the signals on a (Lab Scope)
The signal needs to be viewed on a scope that can pick up a faster...
Was that with Engine Off or Engine Running?
I wish I knew the true answer, all I know is that the BCM (Internally) handles the voltage output and I would have to check for sure but I think that since the lighting system has (FET) the BCM has to have a way to determine circuit integrity - so the...
Note the BCM handles (Switched) power differently at the fuses, instead of the old school way of only (1) side of the fuse being hot and then (switch-on) and have power on the opposite leg.
It drops power on both legs of the fuse (until switched) so when you were testing and had the key off (it...
I know that by my As-Built compare spreadsheet - All 5G Rangers have this setting to (3)
Now the Headlights setting for VRMS changes between Halogen & LED housings but it does not give you a setting like the Stop / Position does it lists it as Type
Headlights:
Frequency Select
726-26-02 -...
I will try to shed some light on this subject, granted the manuals do not cover a full description of operation of (AEB or ACC Decel - Braking)
TBC (Only Installed)
TBC Wiring
So above we have Power (VBAT) and Ground to the TBC
Then the TBC (Out) to the Trailer Adapter - This is the...
Is the Passenger Seat Belt- fully retracted?
If the seat is positioned just right, the buckle gets caught on the side of the seat and rattles against the pillar. I just reach over and reposition it, as I cannot seam to get the wife trained to do it when she gets out.:frown:
GOOD JOB: :rockon:
I can CONFIRM you have it wired correctly but I would hit the heat shrink again to suck it up tighter on the wires (moisture intrusion)
To Clarify for others that may have this issue.
Red to Brown = Park Lights (Pin #5) Connector
White/Blue to Yellow (ish) Amber = Turn...
I dug a little deeper of the Cargo Light control:
BCM supplies power to the Cargo Switch, when the BCM sees the switch is closed, it sends a CAN Bus signal to power the Puddle Lamp circuit, the same circuit that is (Entry / Exit) auto function and includes the cargo lights - the auto function...
Give this a try:
Now as I stated above. the BCM uses the Puddle Lamp circuit and ties it into the Bed Lighting
There is one setting that I found that may do what you want, its worth a try, but note this also affects the Puddle Lamps (If you have them) so this setting will also tie in the Bed...
I would have to pull the boot and check where its at, I have not had to adjust mine - yet but I did find this video - even it has a lot of threads showing.
