I think that it is the VCT (variable camshaft timing) solenoid.

Welcome

I had a problem like that on my 2013 Energi and cleaning the belt solved it. Pulled the belt all the way out, and put a small spring clamp on it so that it didn't retract. Then used a mild cleaner to wash the belt and dried it with a clean rag. Removed the clamp and all was well. Hope that works for you.

Order is LF, RF, RR, LR.

This video shows the repair on an Edge or Escape and is going to be similar for the C-Max.

Paul, thanks for the link. I will check out the fusion forum list for more items. My list came from the old Cmax Energi forum.

These are the codes that I use on my 2013 CMax Energi. I hope that they work for you.

We have two 2013's the earlier one has a 0W-20 oil cap and the later one has a 5W-20. The few times that I changed the oil I used 5W-20 full synthetic in both of them. Energi models only need changing every 20,000 miles or every two years. Most of our driving is around town in EV only and the engines hardly ever run, so ours have been every two years. I guess I could go with the 0W-20 from now on. Thanks for the information.

My "Standard" has been 3/4 to 1 full turn after the rubber filter seal makes contact.

I want that!

I think that your fob battery is due to be replaced. I just checked the voltage on a new CR3032 and it measures 3.21 volts.

THANK YOU! for taking care of this.

I think that the HVB "cranks" the ICE not the 12 volt.

I just looked, none of the staff have visited the site this year. Most recent visit was December 6, 2020 for C-MAX Hybrid Guide. The others show 2014 and 2017 as their last visit.
