No problem. I'm amazed you can do it from memory at all. The result now is a value of
0192 for DTC (see pic). Does that mean anything to you? :|

 

Yes, it probably means I screwed up again! One last try - change the RXD to 2810 - that should be it.......post what you get with that.

Thanks!


If the 0192 was correct - that would mean the DTC is P0192, which isn't listed as a TBCM DTC. I'm pretty confident you will get 9239 when RXD is set to 2810. I need my J2190 document to get everything straight. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs and look at the mode 3 DTC decoding and you will understand.

Now you know why I said it was a PITA............

 

BINGO! With the corrected RXD input value of 2810 my DTC value is now 9239.

 

Which means, you have B1239 DTC from the TBCM! Per the OBD-II decoding of DTCs, the first digit 9 decodes to B1, and the rest, of course, decode to 239. For reference, the decoding of the first digit is as follows:

0 - P0
1 - P1
2 - P2
3 - P3
4 - C0
5 - C1
6 - C2
7 - C3
8 - B0
9 - B1
A - B2
B - B3
C - U0
D - U1
E - U2
F - U3

So, like the time I had this on my FEH, you can retrieve the DTC whether the wrench light or SERVICE SOON message is lit or not. The BTC just has to be 1 (or more.) If you take it in to Ford, I would probaly remove the SG and just tell them that a scan tool showed the B1239 code from the TBCM.

I don't know if this will be included in any future software rev of the SG. So far I only know that it works for Ford CAN vehicles. LinearLogic probably wouldn't incorporate this into the SCAN function unless it worked for a wider range of vehicles. I haven't talked to them in a while but if I find anything out I'll certainly let people know.

 

Just a quick note to thank DesertDog and everyone again. Sure enough, the actuator for the battery fresh air door failed in our '06 FEH w/a bit shy of 30k miles (have had the vehicle since 72 miles/brand new; just don't put a ton o' miles on per year.)

The fix is more in the neighborhood of $350 parts+labor here in 78258 (San Antonio, TX), FYI.

 

That price seems excessive. Labor should be more like 1 hour, and I thought the part was under $20.

 

Receipt's out in the car. I don't know where you got that info (1 hour, $20 part) but it was a tad higher than I'd read/expected -- I'd read $250 parts+labor several times (could have been from the same poster ;-) In fairness, it came out to more like $330 -- we hadn't picked the steed up yet and gotten our final receipt when I followed up here to thank DesertDog, et al. I suspect they charged us the silly diagnostic fee even though we came armed with the TSB printout & the TBCM code, but managing our stress levels is worth more to us than having to try and haggle down a service advisor/billing advisor.

We got the vehicle back in one day (7 AM drop-off, 5 PM pickup) & a free rental car for the day (Focus--alas, no Fusion Hybrid--as if!), which is itself worth a bit of money to me after some bad experience w/another dealership (which I no longer go to) who routinely took 2 days for any work/sched. maint... and still wouldn't part with a rental.

As with so much in life, your mileage may vary. ;-)

 

'service soon' and wrench light on. 2006 FEH, 100K done. How much will Ford charge to check this?
