SSM 47180

Some 2017 Escape vehicles equipped with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a misfire, lack of power, no start and/or illuminated MIL with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0351, P0352, P0353 and/or P0354 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This concern may be due to a poor connection at cylinder head ground G111 near coil on plug (COP) connectors 2 and 3 and body ground G110 near the turbo on the engine block. Before attempting other repairs, inspect ground G111 and G110 to ensure they are clean and properly secured. Refer to Wiring Diagram, Cell 10. If these grounds are clean and properly secured to 19 Nm (168 lb-in), proceed with normal Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) Manual diagnostics.
