I was an active member on this forum for several years when I owned an F450 Powerstroke back in 2000, and now I'm back trying to help a friend with a 2011 Powerstroke, stuck in Mexico, who is not computer literate. When he told me his story, I immediately thought of the Camshaft Position Sensor which used to be problematic way back in 1999 and 2000, but thought I should check on to this forum to get some expert assistance instead of just guessing that the CPS is an ongoing story after so many years.
So here's what happened:
My friend is in Mexico with a 2011 Powerstroke that he bought in Mexico, built for Mexico, so it doesn't use DEF. (I forgot to look underneath this morning to see if it has a DPF, but I'll do that on Sunday when I see the truck again. I'm guessing there's no DPF).
So the truck was driving normally a few weeks ago. He stopped for fuel and then began to drive up a hill towards home. A mile or two up the hill the truck just died, no warning of power reduction, just died. (This is why I was thinking CPS).
Since that happened, Mexican mechanics at the Ford dealership in La Paz, and also an independent diesel mechanic, have been unable to determine what is wrong. They have replaced the fuel pump in the tank and on the rail, as well as the injection pump. The injectors have been rebuilt/serviced and two replaced. The ECM was sent to a place in Texas which tested it and declared it to be error free.
The truck has been sitting for several weeks. It will crank over but not start.
When I arrived in town I put my code reader on the truck and found 12 codes:
P0193 which is fuel rail pressure sensorcircuit high input
P0118 which is Engine coolant temperature circuit high input
P0675 which is glow plug heater cyl 5
P0113 which is IAT sensor 1 circuit high input
P0090 which is Fuel pressure reg 1 circuit
P0001 which is Fuel volume regulator control circuit open
P0676 which is glow plug heater cyl 6
P007D which is charge air cooler temperature sensor circuit high bank 1
P06A6 which is sensor reference voltage "A" circuit range/performance
P02E9 which is diesel intake air flow position sensor circuit high
P2185 which is engine coolant temperature sensor 2 circuit high
P2425 which is exhaust gas recirculation cooling valve control circuit/open
I figured that some of these codes could have been thrown purely because of the parts being replaced and the ECM having been removed.
I instructed my scanner to clear the codes but 2 remain and can not be erased. They are:
P06A6 which is sensor reference voltage "A" circuit range/performance, and
P02E9 which is diesel intake air flow position sensor circuit high
So, does all of this seem familiar to someone out there? What should we test and do to find the cause of the problem?
Thanks in advance.
