    Airbag light on 2008 Expedition XLT

    2-4 ohms is in the normal range; I've read that a bad squib (open) will read ~25 ohms, not zero.

    You know what to do if it can't pass emission testing, right?

    2017 Expedition Limited 13K and Torque Converter Shudder?

    The sudden onset of your symptoms points more towards a bad coil than a tranny issue, also by the intermittent nature of the symptom. Do you have a scanner (a good one) that can show you total misfires per cylinder? It takes a large number of misfires before the CEL comes on.

    Transmission lurching in Manual mode

    Sounds like it is trying to downshift. Can you see which gear it is in (should be displayed on the left MFD) when it does that?

    Buying a 08 Eddie Bauer and need clarity, please

    I suspect someone at the dealership or the previous owner cleared the codes just before selling it and it hasn't completed the drive cycle to set the monitor sensors as "Ready". Their scanner is probably telling them "This vehicle is not ready for emissions testing". The vehicle needs to be...

    4 high/low question

    When you're in 4WD (hi or low), not 4 Auto or AWD, one of the back wheels and one of the front wheels are mechanically locked together and will spin at the same speed. There will be differential between left and right on each axle, but not front and back. If you go around a curve or turn in a...

    Acceleration Problem

    Completely reset the PCM. That will 'unlearn' the shift points and throttle maps from the previous owner. The following will help in diagnosing any issues by resetting the computer to 'default' values. Instructions to clear and then calibrate are here:

    SUdden onset of warning lights for brakes, abs, traction control, and back HVAC now clunking

    Pro Tip: Every car battery will have a date of manufacture on it somewhere. Some look like this one (August 2014): Others will have a Month and Year punch-out sticker, while others still will have cryptic codes that have to be deciphered. Those are usually melted into the carcass somewhere...

    Anyone monitoring Trans Temp with ODB2 reader app?

    Hmmm....maybe I should remove the MX+ from my shopping cart. I removed the MX a few days ago and now its on sale. Hopefully I can get the same action by removing the MX+ and force it to go on sale too.

    Anyone monitoring Trans Temp with ODB2 reader app?

    Is there an issue with the MX WiFi? Just curious. I have a cheapo ELM Wifi Adapter that does not have access to MSCAN, and the MX WiFi was one I was considering to purchase.

    Anyone monitoring Trans Temp with ODB2 reader app?

    There's probably quite a bit of lag between the sensor output and the displayed value; I would also guess the ECM does some averaging of a set number of data samples to smooth the response of the rest of the engine controls.
