WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Diagnostics in this article assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices. For information about these practices, REFER to: Diagnostic Methods .

Condition Possible Sources Actions
A module does not communicate with the diagnostic scan tool Fuse(s)
Wiring, terminals or connectors module
REFER to: Communications Network .
Externally Controlled Variable Displacement Compressor (EVDC) poor performance/does not operate correctly Refer to Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test O 
Unable to duplicate the customer concern and no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present Refer to Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test C 
Reduced outlet airflow Plugged or wet cabin air filter
Frozen evaporator
GO to Pinpoint Test H 
The air inlet door is inoperative or does not operate correctly Refer to Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test D 
Incorrect/erratic direction of airflow from outlets Refer to Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test E 
Insufficient, erratic or no heat Refer to Diagnostic Routine GO to Pinpoint Test F 
The Air Conditioning (A/C) is inoperative Refer to Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test G 
Insufficient A/C (air conditioning) cooling Improper refrigerant level
Temperature door actuator
CARRY OUT the refrigerant system tests. Refer to the appropriate Refrigerant System Tests procedure.
If OK, DIAGNOSE for a temperature door actuator not operating correctly. GO to Pinpoint Test I 
The Air Conditioning (A/C) is always on -- Air Conditioning (A/C) mode always commanded ON Refer to Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test H 
Temperature control is inoperative or does not operate correctly Refer to Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test I 
The blower motor is inoperative Refer to Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test J 
The blower motor does not operate correctly Refer to Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test K 
The electric booster heater is inoperative or does not operate correctly Refer to the Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test V 
Insufficient Heat In Auto Start-Stop Mode Only Refer to Pinpoint Test GO to Pinpoint Test P 
Air Conditioning (A/C) pressure relief valve discharging A/C pressure relief valve
High system pressure
Using a manifold gauge set, CHECK the A/C system pressure.
If the pressure is below the A/C pressure relief valve open pressure, 3, 447-4, 137 kPa (500-600 psi), INSTALL a new A/C Compressor. Refer to the appropriate A/C Compressor - Removal and Installation procedure.
If the A/C system pressure is above the A/C pressure relief valve open pressure 3, 447-4, 137 kPa (500-600 psi), REPAIR the A/C system for a restriction.
