Ford Explorer: Intake Air Distribution and Filtering - 2.3L EcoBoost (201kW/273PS) / Removal and Installation - Air Cleaner Outlet Pipe

Special Tool(s) / General Equipment

Removal

NOTICE: The turbocharger compressor vanes can be damaged by even the smallest particles. When removing any turbocharger or engine air intake system component, ensure that no debris enters the system. Failure to do so may result in damage to the turbocharger.

1. 1. Disconnect the quick release couplings and position aside the hoses.
      Refer to: Quick Release Coupling (310-00A Fuel System - General Information - 2.3L EcoBoost (201kW/273PS), General Procedures).
      
   2. Loosen the clamps and place the air cleaner outlet pipe aside.
      

1. 1. NOTE: The crankcase vent tube may have either a permanent or quick connect connector at one or both ends. If the tube needs to be removed for any reason, the permanent connector(s) must be cut to remove the tube. The tube will then need to be replaced.

      NOTE: If the crankcase vent tube is replaced, the replacement part may not come with a crankcase pressure sensor. If so, the PCM will need to be reprogrammed.

      If necessary, cut the lock tab. Remove the crankcase vent tube. If either crankcase vent tube connector was cut, discard the crankcase vent tube.
      Use the General Equipment: Side Cutter Pliers
   2. Loosen the clamp and disconnect the bypass valve hose.

1. • Install the crankcase vent tube. If the crankcase vent tube was previously discarded, install a new crankcase vent tube.
     
   • If the replacement crankcase vent tube part comes with no crankcase pressure sensor, reprogram the PCM.
     Refer to: Module Programming (418-01 Module Configuration, General Procedures).
     
   • If the replacement crankcase vent tube came without a crankcase pressure sensor, tape the wiring harness electrical connector back to the wiring harness.
     
   • If the replacement crankcase vent tube comes with a crankcase pressure sensor, connect the wiring harness electrical connector.
     
   • Connect the bypass valve hose and install the clamp
