U0701 Mercury Mountaineer Iii OBD Code

OBD/2 U0701 error code description and symptoms.

The Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch allows the engine's control module (PCM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM) to use hydraulic fluid to engage the clutches in the transmission to allow for smoother shifting while driving. If the PCM or TCM detects an issue with the hydraulic clutch or the pressure switch, the PCM or TCM will set code U0701

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code U0701, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code U0701 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.

U0701 Mercury Mountaineer Iii Error Code Repair Process :

The rule of U0701 code when it comes to emissions-related vehicle repair is that any modification that changes the vehicle from a certified configuration to a non-certified configuration is considered tampering: this applies to both vehicle owners and repair facilities and is, therefore, a Federal offense. Replacing a catalyst with a straight pipe is one traditional example of pump rotor control underfueling. Likewise, overriding the OBD U0701 error in system through the use of high-tech defeat devices or non-certified computer chips, for example, would also be considered tampering. The OBD system may, however, be repaired back to its original certified configuration with certified performance chips or appropriate aftermarket parts.

Common Causes of Mercury Mountaineer Iii U0701 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code U0701 is the failure of Pump Rotor Control Underfueling, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber
Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 harness is open or shorted
Damaged camshaft position (CMP) sensor
Oil flow restriction in the oil passages or the variable camshaft timing (VCT) valve body

U0701 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.
