It is no secret that Autopians make the most important automobile workforce on the planet. From serving to to find suspects to resurrecting shitboxes, our blended wisdom is huge, and we adore to position it to just right use. So how are we able to use that mind energy to lend a hand get the automobile transferring once more? Canadian highway legend and wonderful driving force Andrew Comrie-Picard is on a quest to discover a 2023 Ford Tremendous Responsibility, and this car is briefly misplaced on a far flung continent, a ways from AAA’s base of operations: Antarctica.
Clearly, destruction close to the South Pole is dangerous information, and this Antarctic tale is much more sudden. It is abnormal in his nature that Comrie-Picard became to Instagram to lend a hand him, posting the placement on his staff at the side of an image taken from the third-party Ford diagnostics suite ForScan. If you’ll’t see the submit within, I’m going to write the textual content right here. Smartly my Tremendous Responsibility Powerstroke folks – we are 700 miles from the South Pole in Antarctica with a non-starting drawback on our 2023 Tremendous Responsibility 6.7 Chassis Cab. With ForScan we do not get sync between the cam and crank sensors, or we sync at the first crank and feature a cough nevertheless it is going away in a 2d, the sync is misplaced. Now we have additionally changed the cam sensor (it is a 2023 phase quantity black, the only within the automobile used to be 2022 spec grey for some reason why. We’re going to check out a grey one as an alternative) and rechecked the three wires from the cam sensor plug to the PCM. which might be steady slightly than shortened. Energy wires and cables display 5v. We expect now we have the p0343 code for cam sensor voltage over restrict sooner than, however now we will be able to’t repeat it and it simply cranks. The rest we aren’t interested by? Immobilizer Faults? Anything? The gasoline force within the rail is just right. A nasty image of the log to be noticed. The upward thrust in yellow is the instant of connection. Some other image presentations the crank image in motion. Thanks upfront! (And do not be disturbed mother it is going to be high quality) To start with, it is a aid to listen to that Comrie-Picard has some equipment available, however that does not imply crusing in Antarctica is simple. The Generic OBDII P0343 code signifies an issue with the Financial institution A camshaft place sensor, and this sign is vital to start out the recording time at startup. Then again, the atypical factor this is that the wires from the cam sensor plug to the PCM are mentioned to turn continuity. It does not seem like {the electrical} cord is open someplace underneath the harness, so it will have to be one thing else, proper?
Sadly, I do not use it a lot now, most commonly as a result of it is the week between Christmas and New 12 months’s Day and my mind is an entire mess, however possibly as a result of I do not know the way the wires have a look at the Financial institution A cam place sensor at the 6.7- liter Powerstroke and also you do not have a handbook vital to understand what’s going on.
So, if a factor or two about those overdue Powerstroke vehicles, that is the place you are available in. There must be extra clever motion than simply hoping it is a bum sensor, loading the cannon portions, spraying, and praying, it is proper. ? I am not announcing that is sufficient of a topic for a TSB to be issued, however given what number of of those vehicles are offered, without a doubt any individual has noticed this factor sooner than. If this Antarctic legend provides you with deja vu, scream. (Picture credit score: Ford) Make stronger our project to enhance car tradition via changing into an Autopian member.
