Car:<\/h2>\n
2015 EcoSport TDCi MT run 55K Km.<\/p>\n
Symptom:<\/h2>\n\n- On a drive, the car lost power and went into limp mode with the transmission warning light ON. Took it to the ASC.<\/li>\n
- A few days later drove back home from ASC (5KM) and this time there were no issues with the car (accelerating normally) except the transmission warning light ON.<\/li>\n
- Currently, the car idles fine – did not take it out for a drive, engine rev matches accelerator input – transmission warning light ON<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
ASC Story:<\/h2>\n\n- Car was with ASC for 4 days<\/li>\n
- The scan showed P060D code – this code basically implies the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) cannot judge the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP)<\/li>\n
- ASC looked for wire damage in the engine bay\/interior\/dashboard.<\/li>\n
- They could not root cause and suggested a PCM+Wiring harness replacement @70K<\/li>\n
- ASC didn’t seem to have technical expertise for what seemed to require a complex analysis -they kept referring back to Ford tech on-call.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Other Options:<\/h2>\n
Spoke to an ECM repair outlet who seemed confident that this is a PCM issue (on call only – didn’t take the car to them yet) and offered to fix it for ~12K<\/p>\n
My thoughts:<\/h2>\n\n- From what I understand issue can be one of these: Accelerator sensor\/ Wiring \/ PCM<\/li>\n
- Engine revs match accelerator input currently at home at idle – so the accelerator\/speed sensor may be fine<\/li>\n
- ASC checked the wiring in the engine bay\/interior thoroughly so ruling that out<\/li>\n
- Seems to point to PCM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
My questions:<\/h2>\n
Error code from the scan:<\/p>\n

1st Update:<\/strong><\/p>\nWe had another mechanic run a diagnostic with the scanner. The APP reading swings from 7% to 66%, with no accelerator input to full accelerator input. He was expecting closer to the ideal 0-100% reading.<\/p>\n
He removed the accelerator pedal and tested it on another EcoSport. Based on this he said the accelerator sensor is not faulty – I wasn’t with him during the test so I am not sure what the readings were on the test car.<\/p>\n
