You saved me a tow and a trip to the repair shop. My situation and symptoms are nearly identical to the one you described at the beginning. I was clueless on what to do until you steered me in the right direction. You are a legend! Thanks so much for the video. God bless.

You my man, may have just saved the day for me!!! When my new sensor arrives this Friday, I’ll be posting a follow up comment with my outcome. Almost certain this is exactly what’s wrong with my fusion! Great video!

Like all the other comments, thanks. You explained that very clearly and was informative throughout the whole video.

Fantastic work! Thank you for sharing this video, it helped out tremendously. Had a similar issue arise and pulled the connector to find the sensor in the same condition! $27 repair.

Mine is the exact same and been having this issue. Great video brotha. 👍🏽

YOU ARE MY HERO. I GET TO SEE MY DAUGHTER TONIGHT BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO. THANK YOU!!!

Very well done. Thanks for the video. The Snap On scanner frustrates me with the missing data at times, too. Especially something like coolant temp. - you'd think that would be there on the data list.

thanks that help me fix the issues exactly the way you show us!!!

That exact problem happened to my daughter-lots of tears. $50 for the sensor and she's good to go. Thank you!!

Good video bro! Learned a lot in a short amount of time without a bunch of extra useless information 🙌

Great vid!!! This is very informative! I have a 2013 Fusion 1.6T and this is how it happened exactly! The car is now at the dealer and I hope this fixes it! Thanks!!!

Good work, excellent communication skills. I like how you walk through what their Snap-on scan tool did.

Having this issue on my 1.6t Fiesta ST, so glad I found this video, and thanks for including the part number!

Thanks, man... Worked 100% on our 2015 Ford fusion. Had to also buy a code reader that could erase codes though.

Great Video!! I purchased a 2013 Ford Fusion from an auction site with a prior salvage, got it home and it said it had no power steering, was told the power steering rack/gear box was bad, when I took it to the repair man he took it apart and found that the frame the gear box sits on was bad so he repaired that and put it back together than while still at the shop it threw the code engine over temperature so he replaced the sensor but he still can't get the code to clear, any suggestions?

Thank you for posting this video i got code p1299 and I was able to locate the same sensor on my 2014 Fiesta ST and bingo it was wet inside just like that one.

Tengo un ford fusion 2013 1.6 ecoboost y le cambiaron termostato, sensor de refrigerante,sensor de calefacción y sigue igual sera que el sensor que mencionas que cambiaste lo tengo que cambiar yo?

Saved me tons thanks

Watching your channel from LA like how you fixed the code p1299 bro your good have a nice day...

There are 3 coolant valves that are electrically controlled that can cause various overheating symptoms. That c valve is one of them. Always do a koeo and koer test after the repairs to confirm no other issues. Ford really overcomplicated the cooling system on this engine. You find out if you ever need to change the thermostat on one. Peace

Thanks for your info,very helpful👍🍻

Hello I have a 2013 Ford fusion se eco boost.thats overheating I changed out the waterout let and the thermostat housing assembly but still having overheating problems what can I do next that can be the problem

Is this part a coolant temp sensor or cylinder head temp sensor? I changed the same part that you changed. The aftermarket called it a coolant temp sensor, i bought one and put it in and no difference. I went to the ford dealer and ask for a cylinder head temp sensor, they gave me a totally different looking part. A screw in sensor. Same car same year same engine same code. Dealer said there is a cylinder head temp sensor in the front left side of the head and there isn't.

Good video I have a 2014 fusion that I this same thing happened to. It's in shop told them to check sensor first before throwing water pumps thermostats etc. At it. Hopefully this is what happened to mine and it's a easy and inexpensive fix thanks for video.

About to change this on my 2013 Fusion 1.6. Been having this “false” overheating issues for years. Dealer said there is no leak or bad sensor. Checked mine just now and there is a little corrosion and a definite leak at the sensor location.

Bro hope all is well..you gotta start posting again 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Wife has a 2013 but with 2.5L probably different problems but none yet! 😁

thanks man infixed my car !!!! same issue just follow the steps THANKS

@fixerautomotive this videi definitely helped out but I need to get an scanner like yours. anyone you recommend starting off with? I never brought one before and is on a budget right now.

Thanks for the good video! Just used it to fix my girlfriends car

Awesome video. Do you think you can show us how to do a coolant flush on that vehicle?

Этот двигатель не имеет датчика температуры головки блока, если вы нашли схему то там видео что он не ставился на этот двигатель. Ошибка высвечивается как предупреждение о неисправности в системе.

Excellent video

I replaced a lower heater hose assembly on my 1.6L Escape. Now the coolant bypass solenoid appears to be malfunctioning. The engine takes several minutes to warm up as opposed to the usual 45 seconds. No codes BTW....where can I buy that Snap-on scanner?

Nice video dude I have the same car

Do you know the part number?

13 FUSION . auto zone told me code p144c " ,evaporative emission system purge flow performance during boost", replace EVAP , so i did part number DURALAST PV756 called a solenoid , ...37$ , but light still is on. might be the "charcoal box" connected to this part?? idk. any suggestions appreciated !

Great work Can you please replace a oil feed line on a 2013 1.6 ford fusion EcoBoost

This kinda reminds me of my grandmother white car Ford Fusion

After the replacement is it necessary to reset the code because I went through everything except for resetting the code but I noticed how when you started the car it still showed that error code the needle still went to hot that didn't go away until you reset the code do I need to reset the code and is there another way to do it without a scanner

The change can be made without the scanner?

Dude, this is a good! nice video thanks!!! 33 haters dislike the video.

the other temperature sensor that goes in the head of the engine where it is located?

Great communication, balanced video, great explainations.

How do burp that 2013 fusion? Serious question. Does it have a valve or just allow it from the reservoir?

Do you know , where is located dome light fuse, ford fusion SEL 2011??

My family picked up a 2013 1.6T Fusion a few months ago(to replace a car that ended up with a cracked head due to sudden coolant loss....don't want to have that happen again) and I noticed the coolant tank was a tad low last night. Just got the overtemp condition an hour ago. I was happy to see the coolant level was still good, but puzzled by the situation. This was the first video I checked to diagnose this issue. I literally just got back inside five minutes ago, as I write this, from checking the coolant temperature sensor. Sure enough, there was obvious coolant leakage through the part to the electrical connection. I was relieved to see that and it gives me a great starting point before worrying about bigger things. From the looks of it, this is likely the issue in my case. Thank you very much for providing this helpful video.

Clip was not my friend. Thanks Homie did get it done

Where is the cylinder head temperature sensor located at please?! My escape had issue of cylinder head temp sensor

Great video!

hi how are you. i have a question if those motors have two coolant temerature sensors?

My friend Jay is having a similar problem buy we don't have a computer if we change yhe part could you disconnect the battery to rest the censor or does that have to be done with a computer

Nice video, thanks! 👍🏼

Thanks for the vid

Great video

Hey sir I changed both sensors on this kind of car and still have same problem. Could you tell me why

Nicely done, but it is not easy to get to it. Good show.

Thank you sir!!! You just saved me soo much money!!! I did this and it worked. However it is still reading the code P1299 Cylinder Head Overtemp. Does that mean it's something else? I do have a leak that was too small to diagnose months back. Had to refill coolant every so often. Along with P0135 02 censor heater circuit, PO132 02 sensor circuit high, & P0014 B Camshaft position timing over Advanced or system performance ban. What do you recommend I do from here? I am now able to drive my car.. but I'm afraid I will have to buy the part again if I don't fix whatever is leaking that caused this & my car go into limp mode again. I orginally had it tested for a hole in the tubing but it was too small to find at the time.

hello brother i had a problem with ford fusion 2010 overheating i changed the thermostart and burp the air out as well bt still overheats,,any advise

I did the same steps and it still didn’t work we have to have that computer thing?

I'm trying to take this off on a 2015 Ford Focus ST and the sensor is literally stuck with little wiggle room. Any tips?

Having this same issue in my 2013 fusion EcoBoost and this didn’t fix it, I have to be missing something because this didn’t start until I replaced the rack, and that’s a very simple job and nothing I can think that could cause this issue.

Great job!

Done the Thermostat Shows Check engine light Again, It was Off. Spiked when I had to Pass. Turned AC off, Temp went Down. Turned AC back on Temp normal. Check Engine light is on, Running good

Very helpful

My car turns off when I pull out too fast what do you think is wrong

Hey bruh I have a problem with my 2013 ford fusion 1.6 EcoBoost I change the spark plugs ,the coil packs and the MAP sensor and is still making problems when accelerating in high speed for example If I'm driving 65mph and I want to pass the car in front of me when I push the accelerator it stalls I have to let go and push the gas slowly to o in higher speed . Need help with this please .

Nice video man.

hello ... I changed that original sensor and they erase the codes and that keeps appearing to me I have a fusion 2013 1.6 could you help me

Thank you sir

Will coolant leak out from the sensor,I'm working on same car,couldn't locate no leaks,then watched your vid ,and sure enough the sensor was wet,but would that cause the vehicle to shut off once a week or so due to low coolant level?

How much for the snap on machine??

Hey man i have a 2014 1.5 ecoboost i have the same problem i change the sensor was driving fine now the car do the same but i see some antefreeze around but have no codes

Nice video, I have a 2014 ford escape 1.6L turbo and has a p1299 code and I've changes the sensor already, connector looks good and I'm still getting the same issue where the temperature goes up and back in limp mode, but 1 thing I've noticed there wasn't really any water pouring out when I pulled the sensor. Is there a reason for no water and why it's not circulating in the engine? And I've changed the thermostat already too, any help would be much appreciated please.

GOOD VIDEO MAN I HAVE A 2017 MUSTANG ECOBOOST WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHAT YOU THINK.........

Thanks!

Is there any way possible this could be an ecm issue? I have found an escape for sale that claims they have replaced this sensor and problem has still persists. Could they have just gotten a bad sensor?

How can i do this without that small computer 😭😭😭I'm stuck with same error middle of nowhere please help anyone!!!

Great video! How long have u been in business for yourself?

Are you located in CA? I would love to bring you my business.

Do I need a snap on to complete the job? About to do the job tomorrow

Will this part fit my 2013 escape EcoBoost?

When you fixed that? Do I must have the scanner to fix it?

Hello have a question my 2013 Ford fusion eco-boost 1.6 is throwing smoke when I start it from exhaust pipeAny suggestions

hi I have the same engine in my fusion I have a question about the hose coming down from the coolant storage conatiner it leaks from the coupler style to me it looks would you know what those are called

Just wondering why you flushed the coolant and replaced with new coolant after you replaced the sensor? Do you have to do that when replacing the sensor?

How did you reach the petcock? I can’t seem to reach mine!!

Hey i got the same problem with my fusión 13. How much did you paid for the part???

I just changed it and still got the same problem is there anything else that could cause p1299 ?

Hi I just saw this my car is the same Ford fusion 2015 I'm having the same problem they are telling me u need a #2 coil and shutters is correct or are they bending me over because I am a girl can you please let me know

Is there a way to clear the codes without having a scanner?

Okay i changed the sensor the original was wet like you showed... But mine is still saying its overheating and in limp mode...

Yo la cambié y sigue mostrando seme code p1299

The 1.6 eco boost is the worst and slowest engine ford ever used. The engine is from Britain 2013 fusion never buy if has this engine

I have a 1.6L Escape that “overheated”. Code 1299 but replaced the thermostat, checked the temp, did a pressure test and everything was perfect. My engine doesn’t have a cylinder head temp sensor and after clearing the code at my local AutoZone, the code has no popped again nor has the engine had any trouble. Any chance an issue with a sensor sent bad into to the computer and threw a false code?
