I have had same DTC P0299 for a while also. Fusion Titanium 2016 2.0l ecoboost engine. 95000 km. Shop manual reads this code appears when boost is lower than expected for 5 seconds or more during wide open throttle. I have changed so far the TCB1 and TCB2 selonoids, since this was the least expensive thing to try. P0299 still present. I have an OBD2 code reader, I keep erasing the code from time to time. I am not keen to go to the dealer, who I bet is going to suggest a new turbo for a cost in excess of $2000 . This turbo faces the firewall in the rear of the engine. This makes it almost impossible to replace in my own garage, need a lift. Even with a lift, I guess dealer labor is maybe 6 hours. If the turbo was facing the front of the engine, I would try buying an aftermarket turbo and installing it myself.

Ford Fusion 2013-2018 2.0 l turbo throttle body removal: 1. remove the splash shield under the engine ( 11 bolts) 2. disconnect the quick release coupling to the throttle body and the collar of the air duct to the throttle body 3. disconnect the electrical connector 4. remove 4 bolts of the throttle body torque 10Nm or 7 ft-lb 5. to install, reverse the steps, install new throttle body gasket

Most likely a plastic ring is broken and stuck in the thumb button of the transmission shifter. Remove the shifter, remove the fragments of the broken ring, and you're good to go.

Samething happened to me with another vehicule. Forcing some lubricant in the sleeve would be very difficult. I decided to replace the cable, the segment between the equalizer and the caliper, and was done with the cable freezing.

2016 Fusion 2.0 AWD with 80000 km . Got the check engine light. Read the code P0299 (underboost). Erased the code with my code reader. A week later a new code P0234 (overboost) came. Erased the code. Checked impedance on both turbocharger bypass valve solenoid (TCBV) , both within specs at 24 ohms. I know correct impedance does not exclude a malfunction of these TCBV's. Waiting to see what happens next. In the meantime, I come here to seek some guidance or some clues. I fear I might have to go to the dealer with this.

The first video is titled for 2013-2018 Fusions. In any event it is very unlikely the procedure should change through the years, and not even through the different vehicule models Ford manufactures. Good luck! I am sure you will succeed!

Good luck! I did this job once. Just make sure you dont play with the EBD while the caliper is removed. Else the caliper piston will shoot completely out and spill all the fluid and the ball bearings within the piston assembly. I know because I did that big mistake.

Is it possible to undo the pipe at the other end, where is connects to the exhaust manifold?

The white plastic piece is one of the four posts which hold the plastic engine cover.

Fully agree. Did you purchase the car brand new? if not maybe the previous omner changes that part.

I am sorry for your loss Vonore.

Putting the electric brake in maintenance mode allows the system to learn the pressure or contact point of the pads with the rotor when resuming from maintenance mode to normal mode. II Suggest you try it. The procedure is shown here:

Looks like the caliper slider pins are seized. Need to lubricate those once a year.

Did you try fishing a wire from under the car up into the drain tube?

Good ! may I ask, how did you investigate to come to that finding?

I also had a knock from the back passenger side, before 3 year warranty expired. Changed the shock and the upper bush (under warranty). Knock has gone. Your 2019 should be under warranty. Recommendation: always change the upper bush when replacing shocks.

Great post ! Thanks for sharing. What year is your Fusion? Do you live in the rust belt ? Just saw your profile: 2013 Fusion, in the North east. No wonder this wire corroded.

If you have electric parking brake, the answer is no.

If you drive 12000 miles per year, the payback period is 6 years. Not worth it. What if you decide to trade the car before 6 years? or if you total it? The iexpense in the permanent oil filter will become lost and waisted.

I bet the parking cable freezes in the sleeve. There would be water in the sleeve. Happened to me before, with a different car. I replaced the cable/sleeve, and all was good.

Possible frozen water in the hand brake cable sleeves? Thaw in a heated garage or indoor parking, if you can.

Good news is you are not injured. The airbags did not not deploy? I saw the picture of the damaged Fusion. Perhaps collision sensors are not in the impact zone.

Did you try activating the maintenance mode, and deactivating it even after the job done? Here are links to a few video procedures for the rear electric parking brake maintenance mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuDCIysYAug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq9wEPetVeg Good luck !

An OBD reader can erase the codes. Codes of certain types will erase by themselves after the ECM does not read the faulty condition anymore after a number of driving cycles, typically 3 driving cycles. I do not know if the evap purge valve code falls in this type. Good luck.
