U0502 Mercury Mc4 OBD Code

OBD/2 U0502 error code description and symptoms.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) Intermittent Indicates the powertrain control module (PCM) detected an error in the vehicle speed information. Vehicle speed data is received from either the vehicle speed sensor (VSS), transfer case speed sensor (TCSS), anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module, generic electronic module (GEM), or central timer module (CTM). This DTC is set the same way as U0502. However, it is intended to flash the transmission control indicator lamp (TCIL) for first time VSS circuit error/malfunctions. Refer to possible causes for U0502

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code U0502, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code U0502 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.

U0502 Mercury Mc4 Error Code Repair Process :

OBD U0502 code and tailpipe testing are two different approaches to identify vehicles in need of repair. The OBD system looks for broken or malfunctioning emissions control components and engine oil pressure sensor/switch circuit high voltage, while tailpipe tests sample a vehicle's exhaust to see if it is above or below certain prescribed limits. Given the robust nature of today's emissions control components, it is entirely possible for an individual component to U0502 malfunction without leading to an immediate increase in emissions at the tailpipe. In such cases, other components (like the catalyst) can temporarily compensate for the part that is broken however, these other components can only do double duty for so long before they, too, begin to malfunction. In addition, OBD also monitors for U0502 and other malfunctions in the fuel system problems that traditional tailpipe tests were not designed to identify. Most state and local areas also include a gas cap pressure test as part of an emission inspection.

Common Causes of Mercury Mc4 U0502 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code U0502 is the failure of Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit High Voltage, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

EVAP system hose leaking
Dirty Oil
Faulty ignition coil (s)
Faulty variable valve timing (VVT)

U0502 is a kind of Network Trouble Code

U-code indicates that engine communication errors and shows lost communication with engine parts.U-Codes are fairly straight forward, given all of the articles and technical publications that have been written regarding these problematic codes. In most cases, it just comes down to identifying the module that isn't communicating with the other modules on the CAN bus line for whatever reason.
