Ford licensed TBC Install Instructions

[Big Blue]

Replying here with an update in case anyone else has as similar issue. The dealer did some sort of reprogramming (not calibrating) of the TBC and also the TRM in the truck which did not solve the issue for me. TRM shows no codes. TBC shows no faults. They re-checked all wiring and connections including those related to other known issues (e.g. corrosion in the 7-pin connectors). They engaged Ford corporate who have decided the TBC itself must be faulty and are covering a return under the part warranty, and I'll update again here if that solves the problem. I asked the dealer what it would take to replace the TRM if the TBC replacement doesn't work, and this is a very labor-intensive job requiring taking apart much of the dash, pulling down the headliner, and more.

Your dealer needs to brush up on the Ranger. The TRM is mounted in the passenger side footwear behind the TCU (Telemetric Control Unit) to the right of the glove box. No tearing apart of the dash or headliner required.

You should contact Lumen and have them speak with the tech that’s working on your truck. They know the Ranger inside and out. They helped my dealer get it straightened out and have helped several others on this forum also.

Someone, somewhere on the forum did that. Ford won't do it as they have a policy about not cutting and splicing wires.
