Full digital gauge cluster from Ford Escape swap into Maverick

[jRedondox]

The lost communication with ECM/PCM A seems to be related to the Traction control button after more digging on the Ford PTS website. I will be doing a deep dive at the end of august into my DTC's to figure it out. It seems like we might be able to get the traction control button to work after all.

I have to go out of town for work so I have to put my research on hold.

This is where I am getting most of my info and just about anything else you need for any newer Ford.

Hi,

did you get traction control to work?

Some tweaks with ForScan might switch the cluster over to a single input, but I couldn't say for sure. For reference, the Escape's fuel level signal to the cluster is on pins 1, 2, 9 and 10. The Maverick only uses pins 1, 2 and 10.

So why not double the input to pins 9 and 10 with a jumper and see if that gives you the required input to double your capacity? Worth a try no???

Actually, after looking at the wiring, if you add a pin 9 and splice it to pin 10 (Circuit VMC11), the cluster should see the one sender as both of its inputs, and you should be OK.

Again, anything done from here on out is on your own, but the Part # for the Ford terminal to go in the empty pin 9 slot is DU2Z-14474-AA

I was thinking the same thing.

There is no need to add any additional wires for the cluster to work. You can change capacity and senders through forscan.

Hi,

Nope, I gave up. Since that button configuration does not exist on the escape there is not way to program it.

I honestly don’t intend on using it (I’ve only ever used it to do snow donuts). If I need traction disabled I just switch it to Sand/Snow mode and it does what it needs to do.

I did disable this through the ABS module so the DTC doesn’t pop up. It is not required, but I didn’t want any questions about the DTC from the dealer.

This would work for me. I got everything working except the traction control which I don’t use either. How did you disable it?

 

[jRedondox]

How did you guys enabled turn by turn navigation on the cluster?

Are you using Carplay or AA? It only works with AA for me.

I am using CarPlay and I also did the sync 4 upgrade.

Not gonna work as far as I know.

How did you disable the button in ABS? That's the final DTC I have, and like you said, it hasn't messed with anything but I'm about 1000 miles from needing an oil change and all the recalls.

I'll check on this today, You don't get a "U0100: lost communication with PCM/ECM"? That's my only DTC I get from the cluster. I initially thought was related to the traction button, but it's not. It goes away when I plug in my old cluster.

This DTC has not caused a single issue though, I just want it gone.

Okay, I thought that was the DTC you were able to clear out That's the only one I have left

Can you give me more info on the Sync 4 upgrade?
