Hi all, I've been lurking here for awhile now doing research before buying my first C-Max. I finally did it! Bought a 2014 last night with 121k miles on it for $7.6k. It's currently displaying the P24BE code. The dealer I bought it from didn't have enough time to diagnose the issue (I arrived within a hour after they received it from auction) so they agreed to take $400 off the price because of that. The description for this DTC code is "EVAP System Leak Detection Pump Vacuum Switching Valve Control Circuit Low." They had never seen this exact code before in the previous C-Max's they sold. I am having a lot of trouble finding any kind of information online about what this code could mean for the C-Max. I searched high and low on these forums too. I appear to be the first one asking about this specific code. Can anyone help me begin diagnosing where I should go from here? I look forward to being part of the C-Max (and hybrid) community! Thank you

TSB 14-0020HYBRID/ENERGI - CHECK ENGINE AND/OR WRENCH LAMP AND VARIOUS DTCS Production Date: January 29, 2014 FORD: 2013 C-MAX, Fusion LINCOLN: 2013 MKZ This article supersedes TSB 13-11-11 to update the Service Procedure. ISSUE: Some 2013 C-MAX, Fusion/MKZ Hybrid and Energi vehicles may exhibit the check engine lamp, and/or wrench lamp, and/or red triangle lamp illuminating accompanied by various diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). ACTION: Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition. SERVICE PROCEDURE Do you have any of the following DTCs: P0053, P01EB, P0400, P0505, P0600, P061A, P062C, P06B8, P0B0D, P0C28, P0C29, P0C2A, P1124, P175A, P2610, U1011? Yes - one or more of the DTCs are present. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 88.03 and higher. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com. At the Module Reprogramming screen in the IDS service tool, select Program PCM. By selecting the PCM the update will be applied to the appropriate modules as required by the software update. No - this article does not apply. Refer to the Workshop Manual (WSM) or Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for normal diagnostics.

TSB 14-0074DTC P06B8 AND/OR DTCS PRESENT IN PCM CONTINUOUS MEMORY FOLLOWING REPAIRS OR ENGINE RUN-ON Publication Date: April 11, 2014 FORD: 2013 C-MAX, Fusion LINCOLN: 2013 MKZ ISSUE: Some 2013 C-MAX, Fusion and MKZ Hybrid/Energi vehicles may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P06B8 in the powertrain control module (PCM) and/or have PCM continuous memory diagnostic trouble codes (CMDTCs) that will not clear after the cause has been repaired. In addition, the engine in some vehicles may continue to run-on for up to 5 seconds after powering down the vehicle when the engine is running. ACTION: Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition. SERVICE PROCEDURE Using IDS, perform a Keep Alive Memory (KAM) reset. Select: Toolbox Powertrain Reset KAM, PCM Relearn the misfire monitor profile. Start the vehicle, leave the transmission gear selector in Park. Perform a manual tip-in on the accelerator pedal to force an engine startup. Allow the engine to run 15 seconds and shut down. If after 15 seconds the engine does not shut down, turn off the vehicle. After key off, engine will run an additional 5 seconds. Leave the ignition off for a minimum of 20 seconds.Turn the ignition on and using IDS check for PCM CMDTCs.Are PCM CMDTCs present and/or does the engine run-on for 5 seconds after powering down when the engine is running? No - repair is complete. Yes - perform the PCM Programmable Module Installation (PMI) routine. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 418-01.

Hey all, I have a 2013 CMAX Energi, about 16k miles, 8 mo old. Getting a SES light, but the DTC code list is empty. Will be taking it in for service anyway, as I got the recall letter for the "potential airbag non-deployment during a roll" thing. But I wondered if anyone has any ideas?

This today from OASIS: Jun 05 2014 5010 -2013-2014 C-MAX, MKZ Hybrid, and Fusion with 2.0L ATK or 2.5L engine – DTC P0340 or P0344 - Cam Position Sensor Some 2013-2014 C-MAX, MKZ Hybrid, and Fusion vehicles equipped with 2.0L ATK or 2.5L engines may experience a concern with the Camshaft Position Sensor resulting in DTC P0340 and/or P0344. If the Pinpoint Test results in replacing the sensor, verify the build date of the new part is on or after October 3, 2013. Older parts could result in the vehicle returning with the same DTCs. The build date is a 4 digit code located on the side of the sensor when holding it with the electrical connector at the 3:00 position. The first two digits of the build date are the day in the month (e.g., 1-31). The third digit is the month (e.g., 1-9 = Jan-Sept, O=Oct, N=Nov, D=Dec). And the last digit is the year (e.g., 3=2013, 4=2014). For example, Oct 3, 2013 = 03O3, Dec 13, 2013 = 13D3, and Jan 1, 2014 = 0114.

FYI, this today from OASIS: Mar 17 2014 4729 -2012-2014 Focus, 2013 C-Max, 2013-2014 Escape - Ignore Body Control Module DTC B1D06:15 Some 2012-2014 Focus, 2013 C-Max, and 2013-2014 Escape vehicles may exhibit a Body Control Module (BCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1D06:15 after BCM replacement with service part number DV6Z-14A068-B. This DTC should be ignored. Do not perform any diagnostics or repair for DTC B1D06:15.

This from OASIS today: Some 2013-2014 C-MAX, Fusion and MKZ Hybrid/Energi vehicles may illuminate the wrench lamp (Hybrids) or the Service Engine Soon lamp (Energi) when using the engine block heater, with diagnostic trouble codes P1A18, P1A19, P0AEE or P0BCD in continuous memory of the SOBDM-C. The lamps will turn off within no more than three drive cycles after the engine block heater is unplugged. Engineering is currently investigating this condition and will be releasing an updated calibration to resolve this concern. Monitor OASIS for updates.

From Ford OASIS web site: Oct 30 2013 4252 -C-MAX And Fusion Energi - DTC P2183 Under Investigation Some 2013 C-MAX Energi vehicles built after July 8, 2013, and 2014 Fusion Energi vehicles may exhibit the check engine lamp illuminating accompanied by diagnostic trouble code P2183 in the powertrain control module. If the workshop manual pinpoint tests do not identify any issues, no further diagnostics or repairs should be attempted. This concern is under investigation by engineering and a calibration update is planned to be released to resolve it.
