Yep… I agree. Don’t like just changing parts.. my code reader is older so my buddy used his tonight. No stored codes and he was also looking at the live data. Only questionable things he saw was fluctuating timing on cylinder 1 and high fuel pressure in the rail? Is it possible it has a non-OEM tune loaded that boosted the fuel pressure? OBD port seems securely mounted. Think I will update my scanner…. I drove it quite a bit today and could not recreate the issue or codes. I will check the connectors closer.. Thank you! Jeff

The 2013 Titanium decided to throw a few codes this past Friday morning from dead cold overnight sitting. Was fine Thursday night, immediately when starting Friday family member said the neat little yellow wrench was on and after just a few minutes, the driveability was affected. Tach needle wavering like a miss after a block from home, weird shifting so it was driven back home. I got my scanner out and Codes 236 and 299 popped up and were cleared out. Went for a second drive and all normal for 15, 20 minutes and just when I thought I was not going to experience the fun, it acted up again. Had my scan tool and parking, shutting off and clearing works like it never happened. I have had other items to replace like the radiator, under hood purge valve assy, things that the Forum has helped. Bought this 2013 used and not happy with the OBD2 port since buying the car. It seems really finicky and you have to hold the scan tool connector or it won’t work. Scanner fine on any other car I have scanned so I’m going to investigate the port tonight. My local Ford dealer parts guy has been helpful all along with parts and advise, his top items without running it through the service dept. are the 2 map sensors before and after the intercooler and the wastegate control solenoid. Any thoughts? Battery only 2 years old, good non-ethanol gas all the time..

Anyone else have a crappy connection at their OBD2 port? Of course it can’t be serviced without replacing the complete dash harness! My reader fits every other vehicle I have ever used it on. Going to see if I can see what it’s issue is when it cools down. The car had MULTIPLE warnings pop up that I think are bogus. The wonderful yellow wrench, Service Advance Trac, Check Rear Park Aid and Blindspot System Fault all popped up while trying to assess PO236 and 299 codes…

Hello from the warm KC area.. been visiting from time to time with my Fusion issues. Having some issues and maybe someone knows of a good shop here in KC. 2013 Titanium 2.0 Ecoboost bought used and now has 122k miles. Has been daily driven, a few mods by previous owner. Usually able to diagnose and fix with a little help from the local dealer parts counter guy. I don’t have a trusted independent shop right now. I have my own OBD2 scanner and it’s useful but I’m sure the shops have better equipment for a diagnosis.. Thanks for any help! Jeff
