My PX1 Ranger went into limp mode, stuck in 3rd gear, engine and TC lights on. Removed the stepper motor on top of the EGR and freed the valve up by working it with a screwdriver. Reassembled, out of limp mode straight away and a day later the CEL has gone out. Thumbs up

Excellent video mate, great content. I’ve had my ranger for 7yrs with 120.000 miles, she’s starting to throw up a few of the problem you’ve covered, I’ve saved a fortune by following your advice. Many thanks from sunny Scotland 👍

This is video is very informative and true. It helps a lot of ranger px/t6 owners. Thank you for the inputs😊

As always, very informative. Cheers mate.

Truly appreciate it. Life saver!!!

Nicely done mate. Thanks for taking the effort. I've got a PX2 and it had an intermittent egr problem making it miss badly under acceleration under load. Bit of a nuisance, turned out to be the egrt sender unit in the exhaust manifold. (DTC's) P040C/P040D and/or P041C/P041D. Apparently pretty commmon and Ford have updated the part, no. CC1Z12B591E, about $70 and a 3 minute job. Been looking for a little scanner to save taking the laptop everywhere. Will order the one you linked, thanks. Cheers PP

GOD bless you brother .

Great content bud

thanks, for share your experience service of ford ranger

Great video buddy...

Today, 12/01/24 I replaced the actuator in my 2015 FR. The error code was P0048 - Turbocharger Boost Control A Circuit High. I had to get it second hand as no one locally sells aftermarket. Thank you for you videos, I have really learned a lot. My car now pulls as if it was brand new. From Windhoek, Namibia

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!

Better than the scanner you have is a elm327 cable that supports forscan, and forscan windows programme. You have 100% full access to all controls. Can do dpf static regen, reset all learned values. Data log all sensors, turn certain features on and off that higher models normally only have. It's great. Thr software is free but the cable I bought was about $140. It works with all fords and a fair few other brands

Hi, at the start of the video you mentioned the under boost fault code PO299 - but there was no further mention of that code that I heard as you went along. This code is coming up on my Ranger and the mechanic is stumped - and is at the point of just sending the turbo away to be replaced. Is there anything else to check do you think, prior to replacing the turbo? A smoke test has ruled out any splitting of the intercooler piping. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you might have.

thank you

Thank you, I very much appreciate you taking the time to pass on your knowledge and experience. I'm on my 2nd BT50 now and always looking for more info on likely causes of failure as I occasionally travel into remote areas. Would you consider doing a recommended spares, tools and modifications list for remote area travel for Ranger/BT50 given your accumulated knowledge? Cheers, Tim.

Any thoughts on the 2017 2.2 Ford ranger in terms of reliability??

Mint vid mate. I have a ‘15 bt50 250k had the similar issues with the egr being stuck closed. I cleaned it up got it working mint. Put in back together. Turned it on and the engine light still shows. Scanned it and it shows P0403 “ EGR control circuit “ what causes this and how can I fix this issue? Tia.

Awesome

My Ranger firstly threw the display lamp for transmission error… orange gear symbol with exclamation mark… it would disappear every time I turned the engine off and would return after a while maybe 45 mins driving… then I got the check engine light but it didn’t go into limp mode ? Any suggestions welcome

Hey mate, great vids - any thoughts one what might be causing U0401 and P0047 on 2018 Ranger. Going into limp mode randomly but appears to drive fine otherwise... Problem does seem to be happening more often and in clusters. Cheers mate

I have a 2022 3.2 ranger (in brazil we do not have the 2.0 biturbo), not a single problem so far but man, all I can find is problems related especially to egr cooler failing or turbo exploding engines being rebuilt with less than 150.000km or ford straight replacing them. Have you rebuilt your engine?

Hey mate have you heard of P0672:00-2E Cylinder 2 Glow Plug Circuit / Open causing the car to go into limp? When I get too 2000rpm it goes into limp and that code comes up on the scanner cheers

Do you have videos having problems with wrench light on? My car went limp mode and i cant start my car. I changed the batteries but it doesnt change a thing. I started my car then it crank for 1 sec and shuts. But if i start it while pushing down the gas pedal, it crank for 3 to 4 secs and shut off. What seems to be the problem? And how to fix it?

Have a 2011 px1 , 345,000 kms , has lost all drive and all dash lights are on tract cont, engine light . No warning = was working fine yesterday . Any ideas ?

Hi mate what cause the egr to have a high voltage ( 4.35)

My PX3 ranger has just begun to play up when trying to start when at operating temps. It cranks over like normal but wont start.leaving me stranded for 20 to 30 mins. If i leave it for 20 to 30 mins and try again its starts and runs like normal..so weird. 33k on the odometer. What could be the problem?

Any ideas on this matter? About every 6 hours of driving shortly after accelerating from a stop... no fuel for about 1-3 seconds. Fuel always seems to kick back in but wondering if could get worse. Note: Changed out oil, oil & fuel filters recently. Bit better but problem not completely gone. 2017/3.2. ~105,000 ks. Thanks in advance...

Great!!!

Just got a PX1 ranger with 250K recently. Been fine for the first month. Went to check fluid levels and found the coolant level low. Took 2L to top up to correct level. Next morning on the way to work after getting off the motorway it was into limp mode after some heavyish acceleration. Powertrain fault light flashed once and went out but stayed in limp mode. Pulled over, switched engine off and on and it was fine until I tried to accelerate hard again and went back into limp mode with brief flash of powertrain fault light. Happened again the next day. Won't do it if I take it easy. Coolant has gone back to low level and appears to stay there. Scanned the ecu and there are no fault codes. Any ideas?
