Russats Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I believe you can only get them from Ford, I don’t know of any aftermarket versions. They are quite straightforward to replace, just getting the plug off is the hard part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vahap Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hello everyone I have 65 plate Galaxy , ECS service required, Co pilot not available, Hill start not available lightes used to come and go all the time. Local mechanics could not find the faults with their computers. I called Ford service they said £130 diagnostic test and parts and labour on top. After reading this page I bought driver side ABS sensor (front right) costs £37 . I managed to change it myself. Since than no more lightes popped out Thanks to everyone on this page saved me at least £200 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the seat sensor too on this one do you think? thanks. Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve3581 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I also have the same issue and get no error codes from me ODBC model, any help/advice would be very much welcomed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 2 hours ago, Steve3581 said: get no error codes from me ODBC model, What are you using to read the DTC's, is it a generic code reader ? Most generic code readers will not read Ford specific DTC's, they are really only any good for standard basic codes. You need to use a Laptop with the software FORScan and the new OBDII port cable. Since you are not in the UK you will have to buy from a supplier in your country. FORScan download: https://forscan.org/download.html UK supplier of new vLinker VS cable: https://www.bmdiag.co.uk/forscan-diagnostic-cable-for-ford-vgate-vlinker-fs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Engine is being starved of air, or at least the MAF sensor thinks it is. (a) Possible blocked or restricted air filter. (b) Air leak in the system after the MAF sensor. Air is getting in to the intake manifold without it going past the MAF sensor. (c) Faulty MAF sensor. It is not measuring the correct amount of air going to the engine. (d) Something else 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve3581 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Thank you!! I have ordered a new filter which I will try and change over the weekend. At the same time I will see if I can see any issues with the tubes/cables around the MAF sensor. Is the MAF sensor easy to access? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve3581 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hello This weekend I cleaned the MAF sensor (which already looked clean to be honest) and also found that the air filter housing was badly installed and its two rubber anti vibration feet were not sittings correctly in place. This has no been sorted. All that to say I once again had the same two error codes this morning.... U0402 - Invalid Data Received from Transmission control module P061B-F1 Internal Control Module Torque Calculation - Performance If anyone on the forum has any ideas in which direction to go now id be very grateful!! Cheers! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Time to replace the MAF sensor. It's the only way you can eliminate it as being the fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only way you can eliminate it as being the fault Thank you again for your feedback, I have done a little research over the weekend, and I have read a lot about people having issues with corroded contacts/cables that could also be the cause of this issue. In your opinion could this also be a possible cause, and if so im wondering which area to focus on 1st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 It is possible that you might have a wiring fault, most probably would be the point at which the wires go in to the back of the MAF plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Okay I will take a closer look at the cable/connector. I notice the cable is attached to the air filter box, its not impossible the last person who replaced the air filter was a little heavy handed and damaged the cable/connector whilst pivoting around the top part!
