Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as we have a look at this 2007 Ford Freestyle that came with a customer complaint of no speedometer, vehicle will not shift, traction light on and ABS light on. It didn't take long to find the vehicle had a code U1900 CAN BUS FAULT stored in several modules. We also find that there is a "no com" with the ABS module and the Rear Differential Module. Let's see where this leads. -Enjoy!

Mine all went punt out of know where just fine light came now shifts like hell only some time
2005 freestyle just shutoff,no restart no clicking no nothing
It's interesting but not exciting…I like your troubleshooting expertise. it's like going to school for me. Even though you go through all the possibilities, we all know that after a while you keep seeing the same faults on a perticular platform. One I will emphasize from past experience, the influx of crapola inferior parts out there. Keep up the great videos. I don't envy the salt corroded candidates.
Before ordering a400$ motor I'd test I on bench. May have stuck mech. Motor or components in the axle assembly
Thanks for your knowledge. You saved me so much time. Had same issues today.
Can u follow up with all the parts in
Part 2?
Having owned an 07 Freestyle the issues are myriad the greatest of which is the crap CVT tranny that Ford never properly supported. Hell, I could NEVER get a dealer to do a tranny service, no one wanted to touch the thing.
Hey there viewers and welcome back to the self made auto channel 😀
I have had a fuse that looked open but tested OK with a multimeter. Still, it didn't look good so I stuck in a good fuse and fixed the problem. It must have had enough of a connection for the meter but could not carry the circuit current.
Eric i like the you way explain things and the way you keep your channel clean
What was the final outcome of this vehicle?
2002 buick lesabre 3windows, door locks, dome lights, does not work what could be wrong
Where did you get the vise grip test light ? 😕
cause abs codes on the freestyle are stored in the cluster, along with traction control codes, and the DEM module
i miss the old speedo cables
Where do you get these print outs from ?
Not many Freestyles because they became the explorers after about 3 years. My stepson has one.
Volvo chasis
I have a ford freestyle n my anti theft light is on also the abs light came on whike on highway n shut my whole care off n now it wont start the only light that come on is the one with the car n lock
I know this is an older vid and you may already been told this but here goes. Fuses are meant for short circuit protection (they can be time delayed for loads like solenoids) and breakers are meant for overload protection. Technically not much of a difference since both are high current but the difference is the time before protection is occurs.
I love how my first initial thought on Ford Freestyle wasn't that Freestyle was the model, but rather what the owner was doing because there was no speedometer lol. Just freestyle it and go whatever speed seems right.
Positive battery terminal has a bad case of the crusties.???
I find it easier to do a continuity test on fuses rather than relying on a visual inspection.
Well I see you found the hebejebees with that lil spider ooooooze
I worked with one of the software engineers that wrote the software for that module. He still to this day drives one of those ford freepiles. Years later they put a similar active front diff in the Focus RS and put module in almost the same spot in the front. I had to help wire it full of thermocouples to do a few temp study road tests. I never have thought that was a great location for a module…especially if your running wires on the underside and not through the cabin and down.
I love your Jeep hat!
Wow that's a twist
Don’t touch nothin; proceeds to do pull-ups on the wiring harness! lol
Great diag mr O,thank u sir👍
I’m at a shop that only allows service writers to talk to customers. Service writers only give us non descript, 2-5 word complaints. Drives me nuts.
What test light do you use
Pro-tip: Put a nail across the fuse holder. Smoke reveals the problem very fast.
Depending on the voltage powerpro back here or click or not should engageplay Yuna dog feed it that way see if it engages or not
Can I be your solenoid dussault could be corroded because the fuse blew so slowly it took a while for it to amp upbut without doing duck gnosis you don't know if it's in the harness or the relay or the actual motor in the diff usually they're activated electronically I don't know how their primary or secondary winding but there's something going on there
Something I've always wondered about. Have you ever had a car come in where you have immediately said no to without needing to dig into it?
I may be 2 years late but, that pump IS the same one used in the V70 awd models in the same years as the Ford Freestyle.
beautiful christmas tree lights inside that dash lol
Had a similar issue on a 98 camry,wound up being the alternator
My guess is the sign on the wall says: Install quality fake parts. 🤣
"Don't touch nothing…": So, touch everything…? 🤔
Am I the only one that wants to know how he put the test light 2.0 together?
You made an EDUCATED guess and were correct. You're good Eric! Excellent troubleshooting.
Thank you sir
Three things to say, salt on roads not good . . . disposable vehicles not good, $436, Volvo part, very not good!
Where is your shop located i need to make an appointment
Love the detailed explicitness
Love the video as I have a Freestyle with ABS and TC light on. You do a great job and are very informative. Thank You !!
Great diag as usual!
I'm 900 miles away and it looked open to me too
