Ford Fusion Duratech 2010 - help understand error codes with Forscan

[ford2188]

Hi, All,

Just used FORScan + Modified ELM327 cable (recommended by unofix, thanks) to get all the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) as shown below:

The dashboard when I ran the Forscan software is shown below:

There are 8 DTCs for Transmission Control Module (TCM) BUT the status for them is the same:  
- Previously Set DTC - Not Present at Time of Request
 - Malfunction Indicator Lamp is Off for this DTC

This might be because the car broke down a few years ago due to the stuck shift actuator (the car is a semi auto with a gear shif actuator) and I cleared the shift actuator to solve the issue (but did not clear any error codes caused). Now the car runs ok without any transmission issues.

The Code: B1318 - The battery voltage level is too low. Status: Previously Set DTC - Not Present at Time of Request. Recently I recharged the battery because its voltage was too low to start the engine.

The Code: U0146 - Lost Communication With Gateway A. Status:  - Previously Set DTC - Not Present at Time of Request and  - Malfunction Indicator Lamp is Off for this DTC.

The Code: U0155 - Lost Communication With The Instrument Panel Cluster Control Module. Status:  - Previously Set DTC - Not Present at Time of Request and  - Malfunction Indicator Lamp is Off for this DTC.

Please help: how to deal with the 8 error codes with TCM and the last 2 error codes regarding lost communication? The car runs ok so far.

Thanks.

Hi "Z"

good result you have all the DTC's since the beginning of time 🤣

So the next stage is to clear ALL the DTC's since you have a record of them. Once clear you can set about using or trying to use your car as normal. With luck you will get only 2 or 3 DTC's which should point you in the right direction.

Just as a bit of general info. Codes that begin 'U.....' is a communication problem on the Canbus system. In themselves they are not normally the fault, they are just being caused by the fault.

The codes for the TCM are as you say probably old, from a previous fault.

Clear the codes and get back to us all when the problem reoccurs.
