Overhauling a Ford Focus TCM - Part 2: Inspecting, Testing the Capacitor and Soldering
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Part 2 to my last video.
I tested the capacitor and installed a new one plus soldered the electrical pin connections with silvering adhesive ordered from Walmart. The Dorman rebuild ordered from JEGS has been pretty reliable, so in the end, I never did install this TCM to see if it worked. I'm not quite willing to mess with my primary daily driver and risk having it break down on me. Instead, I'll send it back for the core charge.
I did see another video which showed how to squeeze and twist the electrical pin connectors to release the top printed circuit board. If I was to do this again, that's what I'd try. Hopefully though, there is no 'again' and this is the end of my TCM misadventures.
Higher reading on many capacitors usually means they are internally leaky.
The test that I don't know if it works..... Awesome
Hola buen dia,
Si tengo la TCM K00 instalada en mi auto y la reemplazo por otra igual K00, tengo que programar o solo quitar y poner?
Saludos!
So im looking at all that microcircuitry and picuring it sealed up in an aluminum case attached to a car engine and transmission in a hot engine compartment on 100 degree day.
Kind of hard to imagine it lasting more than a week.
Theres a recall for the tcm currently that includes a friends 2015 focus. Shes had both her clutch actuators changed twice and yesterday once again she lost reverse. The local ford dealer has refused to oerform the recall and says "no that's not the symptons" (losing reverse ).
Im goinf to try and clean the actuator and lube the forks today. Tomorrow ill call ford directly to complain about the dealership
Interesting videos, i would have loved to see you test it but i understand about having one car and the headaches that could happen.
Any luck? What did it end up being?
@@TimelessMotors the latest update Is I had her grab a used TCM from ebay off a newer focus. Everyone says they must be dealer programmed to work but we didn't have it programed. I swapped it out about a week ago and then did a TCM reset. Knock on wood it's been perfect since. The reset that actually works is as follows. Turn the key to on (2 clicks but not start), hold down the brake pedal (keep holding til we're done), shift the gear selector into neutral and watch the dash. After a few seconds it's will say transmission reset / transmission ready (or something similar). Then put it in park, take your foot off the brake, remove the key. Then start it up and test it. That reset procedure would restore drive or reverse with the original TCM.
I'm hoping this takes care of it. Otherwise it's out of my league.
You did All that and no test results?
Pretty much. By the time the silvered adhesive arrived, I had the other TCM. I would have installed the old one after I fixed it, but my wife and son needed the car too so I never had a chance to work on it.
How long did you have to wait for the dorman TCM after you ordered? Called them last week and they won't have any for about 2 months. Did you get it programmed at the dealer?
I had to wait about 4 months for the Dorman TCM. It came pre-programmed. The only thing I had to do was the Adaptive Learning for the clutch positions. I did that using downloaded FORscan software.
224 Farads and what is the part number?
It was a 2200 microFarad capacitor, Illinois Capacitor P/N 2200UF50VTT
So you didn’t send the old one in for the core charge?
No, I did eventually send the old one in for the core charge. I was going to try it in my car again after working on it, but after the Dorman one had been working so reliably, I didn't want to risk having my car break down again.
wow, i did not know abou t all of them tiny soldering spots.
no wonder the those TCMs went bad.
ever heard of current feed back ?
if but one of those things go bad [ from overheating or drop in current ( voltage ) ] , due to corroded battery terminal and including all the ground straps.
those things will pop like pop corn.
no wonder them things are all going bad.
What's the dorman tcm number please and website
The TCM P/N is 609-031. I ordered mine from JEGGS.
So after all this you're just not going to try it out to see if you achieved a repair? I'm not really understanding the point of your two videos then I could be wrong but let me know
I had fully intended to put my old TCM back in the car to see if it worked, but after a $400 tow bill the last time the TCM died on me, I didn't want to risk it. After about a month of having the old TCM sitting around, I sent it in for the core charge.
Uh huh,we know that, at the end. The point of your video was to see if you achieved registration of the malf unit. It was misleading. Step back and review your video from the standpoint of somebody other than you seeking some information did a friendly advice Mister have a good day
Have you had any issue with the Jegs TCM? I just ordered one for my 2013 Focus.
@@Tendy58 No issues at all. The Dorman TCM I got from JEGGS has been working great.
Did you have to program new Tcm or was it just a bolt in and good to go part.
@@Tendy58 The TCM came programmed, but I did have to run the Adaptive Learning using FORscan. You'll have to order a FORscan OBDII cable for your laptop and download the software.
Hi do you a new issue or it work well now? thanks
The Dorman rebuild I have in the car now is still working. I'm still waiting for my core charge refund on the one in the video.
QUE VOLTAJE Y FARADIOS?
Illinois Capacitor 2200UF 50V
How did you order the TCM from jegs by part number? Or by TCM
If I remember right, I think I just ordered it as the TCM for my year of Focus. It should be the Dorman 609-031. I paid extra for the 3 year warranty on mine.
Podrias dejar la numeracion del capacitor. Porfa
Yo tambien lo ocupo
Put all the part #s please
🌹🌹👍
You keep saying i guest so you really don’t know.
