mcgj01 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Help. I have just been informed that my 2005 Mondeo requires a new AEC module. What is this??? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Never heard of it, tbh. There is an EAC module which is something to do with the accelerator - did you mean that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 EAC I believe is part of the communications BUS system... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heard something about Electronic Accelerator Control, but the fault on my car is to do with the heater climate controls so I really can't see the connection. As I said, thanks for taking the trouble to respond. Jim McG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I upset mine the other day, it threw errors up on everything from transmission to power steering and the speedo / revs were dancing up and down. Do you have an OBD II Scanner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have an OBD II Scanner? No, sorry. I don't know what one is. The only reason I asked about the EAC module is that the local dealership said that it was probably this that was causing the fault. The real problem is that they were asking for over £450 for a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ouch, thats harsh but if its an electrical fault it doesnt surprise me the price is so steep. If you have an android, I suggest that you buy a generic OBDII bluetooth adapter, and download "Torque" from the play store. The adapter is less than £15 and the app is free. It can scan your ECU for any logged error codes, that might help us to diagnose any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, the dealership has just rung me to say that the warrenty people will pay for the repair, something that seemed unlikely yesterday. Good news.

mcgj01 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 whats the problem your car has? The problem is with the climate control, there is none. It appears to heat up initially, very hot, and then cool down, but too much. Not cold, but uncomfortably cool. Anyway, the dealership has just contacted me to say that the warrenty company will replace the part, something that seemed very unlikely yesterday. Thanks for your response.
