Auto Start Stop Engine Light Keeps Leaving Me Stranded.

Are you running the thing hard or has it been driving odd? A lot of “street racer” logs in the PCM

The PCM definitely is having some sort of issue by the looks of it though and it’s been flashed several times

No luck Seemed tight to me

Connections that appear tight still might not make full connection. Proper procedure on a suspect connection is to loosen first, remove and check for corrosion, clean as warranted, then reinstall and tighten to spec.

If you have a multimeter you can check resistance from known good end to end of circuit that is under review. Example, one lead on post in fuse oak, other at end of wire attached to it, compared to just the ends of the cable itself. Say the cable resistance is 10, but from post through to end of cable is 100 you might have an issue

Just replied to @flip with the VIN, and @Ford Motor Company told me to take it back to the dealer which I did yesterday.

That's what they are there for.

I'm going to vote gateway module, PCM, network wiring connection. By the codes I saw the FD1 CAN, high speed 1 &2 CAN have occupant, image processing and PCM connections in common. I could only find one that had network run through C210 which has a SSM for. The gateway module is also near that connector. Have you had a water leak or wet around the passenger side A pillar?

Phil, you sure seem to try to help a lot of people sort out various glitches.

Thanks.

The interior hasn’t been exposed to any rain or wet conditions and I haven’t had any leaking issues

Just casual driving, if I ever have got on the gas it was nothing too hard that it shouldn’t be able to handle.

K, just trying to eliminate the basics. We're taught to verify the issue, check for recalls, TSBs, SSMs that might relate to the concern, perform a visual inspection for obvious issues then roll onto more specific testing routines.

Thanks @flip for being part of the community. The sermon this week was about using your talents, and thankfully you are.

What's a street racer log? Is this something that's uploaded wirelessly or only when a dealer physically connects to the vehicle?

Not specifically street racer just aggressive driving requests. I don’t know if it’s viewable at the dealer level

Please go into detail ??? Ford can see how I drive?

If it comes to that yes there is capability to see a brief, recent history. It’s not something that generally gets looked at though unless a warranty claim is suspended until an investigation can be completed.

Is that data stored on Ford servers? Sure sounds like it.

No it’s not

Is this your readout?
- High RPM.
- Low speed.
- Loss of traction.
- Tire temperature rising.
- Smoke detected.
