Beautiful

💯 this comment brother

​@@clevejason Thank you sir. As far as I'm concerned Rich is one of the best I've ever seen & I've been doing this for a long time. I appreciate your posting sir, TMP from N.J.

@@thomasperina2990 I’m Jason from Snohomish, WA

@@clevejason Good to speak to you sir.

"I would bet that half of the mechanics at a Ford/ Lincoln dealership never knew that these test parameters ever existed." We have to know them. Its not optional. We get sent to factory training every few months. On top of that, we just can't fix the vehicle however we want, even if you get it right. Your entire diagnostic session has to be documented and follow the diag procedures that Ford sets for that particular job. They're checked and if you missed any steps, or did something that Ford doesn't approve of, the RO will get kicked right back to the dealership, and they won't get paid for the work. That said, its not too bad. Ford has very specific diag information for just about every conceivable job you may get yourself into. Basically, you get step by step instructions for both diag and repair procedures. Even if you have little to no experience doing a specific job, as long as you follow the instructions listed in the workshop manual, you'll get it right 95% of the time. And if you're still having issues, you can contact Ford directly, and they have people that will try and help you. If all that fails, and you still can't resolve the issue, Ford will send an engineer to the shop. But the main thing is, you really can't cheat. Ford has too many things in place to check your work. Your only option is to do everything by the book. As far as Rich goes, he's way better than most techs. If he wants do stay with Ford, but not work for a dealer, 99% Ford would hire him directly and have him teach or make him a field service engineer. Those are jobs where they only hire the very best. You have to be.

Pre 2010 I believe was with the trip reset

There is speaker test option for that side and engineering mode for the other side

@@FordBossMe yeah I went into some sort of test mode. You can do speaker test. Touch screen test. Color test. See part numbers sync versions all that stuff on the radio side. Never been into the dash side. Wonder if that will work on my ranger so I don't have to ride around with FDRS to see my transmission temp when I change my fluid

​@@BeardedFordTech fdrs ? Can it be used with the USB elm 327 ?

@@coreybabcock2023 FDRS replaced IDS on some 2019 vehicles like my ranger. 2021 f150s. Basically the new vehicles use FDRS instead of ids IDS STANDS FOR INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE FDRS STANDS FOR FORD DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR SYSTEM

I had a 03 I had to use the think diag rich sent me to do anything with the car

Same here I would do my best to understand most of those things in engineering mode

Tyvm

Rich definitely is a awesome person glad he's doing this I've learned so much from him doing these videos

@@FordBossMe 😉👍

@@coreybabcock2023 you’re so right Corey! 😉👍

@@gregorycoogle7621 👍👍👍👍

Beautiful Job

We still have to check if there is a concern

We always had to attempt a diag. Even though the misfire didn’t set a code it would have shown up on the misfire graph under the same driving conditions. Unfortunately not all shops and technicians are the same.

I like it you gave me an idea for a future video thank you

Well I don't know what to tell you because there's other people in the comment section that have a 2019 it worked on

Didn't work on my 19' 150 3.5 either

@@shanerobbins5309 mine won't go into drive modes, it says not available. I can see the engineer mode behind the drive mode nat available but when I hit ok it all disappears. What I did find is if I turn it off and quickly restart I can get my drive modes. No check engine lights, ford couldn't find anything wrong...IDK just glad I can get into tow mode now

Glad to hear that

Yep either way it's just the okay button in general

I know with forscan but I don't know this way

Forscan forums

It should

You are so welcome!

I think you didn't do something right - I've had people report it does

Could be ac high pressure switch causing the fan to run high Could be plugged radiator or ac condenser causing system pressures to increase and run high Could be stuck relay Or pcm commanded bc low speed isn't working and the fan assembly needs replaced It needs diagnosed

Idk

My pleasure

You could either have a accessory protocol interface module problem with the radio that's causing issues with the steering wheel or you could have a bad clock spring or a blown fuse

It may not work for your application

Yes it does

No I'm pretty sure it has to be done through programming specifically but I'm not exactly sure how to do it

done the same exact way you're doing the same steps except you have a keyless system it's something you're doing wrong

Well if you bought it used somebody may have some big tires on it and they reprogrammed it for those bigger tires and you have to reprogram it back to stock with the as-built data

Aftermarket only on like parts geek

@@FordBossMe Thanks bro I've got ah little peeling action goin

Yes

Does the 2014 ford fusion have engineering test mode?

Poissorichard.rp@gmail.com

No I have not made a decision as to where I am going to be I'm still with Ford but it's looking like I will more than likely leave

Lol the up and down arrow

Programming

It could be a cylinder head temperature sensor but I doubt it

The only way that I know of that you can actually figure out what your coolant temp is is if the vehicle gets above 213°, it will start displaying the numbers on the cluster other than that you're going to have to have a scan tool watch all my other videos on cam phasers in order for you to understand more about it

@@FordBossMe great info, I’ll check out more of your videos. I watched the he one about the updated thermostat and I know that mine was not replaced during the phaser replacement. I was unaware that the temp would display on the cluster if it got that hot. That is a bit of a relief because that has not happened. At this point I’m considering taking it to Ford to have them examine it but without a CEL I’m not sure much can be determined. Thanks for getting back to me so quick

@@FordBossMe quick update, I ran my truck in engineering test mode for about a 20 mile ride, peaked around 230 degrees on the highway, I don’t believe the red sport cluster shows the temp above 213 (don’t quote me, but mine never has) either way. Got it home, water outlet hose was still cool compared to the rest. Went to ford, picked up the updated part# thermostat you referenced in your video and a gasket. Had it installed and vacuum filled with new coolant. Went on a long ride last night (about 50 miles mostly highway at 70-80mph) no excessive fan or temp flux. Fingers crossed but all seems to be good now. Thank you SOOO much.

It is just go real slow

@@FordBossMe okay. Thank you so much for your time and knowledge. Hope you have an excellent day!!

From like 2000 and up yes

Look through the comments

Take it in get it documented Ford knows about this they're having a lot of problems with these

Thank you

@@garyrigsby8464 check/change spark plugs. That helped with my 2019.

I have 41,000 miles, You still think it needs spark plugs.

@@garyrigsby8464 Nah just let ‘em go till you got clogged cats and plenty of buildup in the engine.

Read comments people are chiming in on older ones

It is unnecessary engine wear

Bad for the emission system

Dilutes Oil With Fuel Contamination

I can't believe you even asked that when I showed you live info that you could use I don't get these comment like this, really passes me off

You can't monitor system voltage but with it you can You can't check for dtcs but with it you can You can't monitor trans temp but with it you can You can verify Air Fuel Ratio but with it you can You can't verify more accurate mpg but with it you can Your comment just plain sucks because you didn't listen point blank

@@FordBossMe ya know what dude. You get triggered and insulting too often. With me and others for simple stuff. I’ve been a subscriber of yours for about 2 years now, I’m never an a-hole but you always comment back like a freakin jerk, so now I’ll just unsubscribe.

@@kineticenergy1085 He's annoyed because you didn't actually watch the video entirely, he explained the entire thing, and gave you details as to how certain things can be useful. You won't be missed.
