PSCM DTC U3000 : Deactivated
Posted: Thu May 07, 2020 11:33 am
Not Ranger related but I know someone here will have some insight on this as there's quite a few tech gods here.
PSCM Module in a Kuga, shows a DTC of U3000:53 - Module Deactivated.
This relates to the PSCM Module in the electronic steering rack (non hydraulic). The advice from many online sources is that it can't be rectified by ignition cycle and resetting modules/on demand testing in forscan shows nothing but success results, however, the DTC remains unclearable and the steering is still dead.
The question really is, through forscan or IDS (or bench test), is there a way to 're-activate' the module (forscan still connects to it and shows it being there) or is "deactivated" ford speak for "fried beyond repair"? I've downloaded IDS and hoping to play with that this evening if it's not too difficult to use
It's $3500 from ford for a new rack as they don't fault find and only replace, another service provider has advised they may be able to reset/relearn the module, however having diagnostics gear and being so far from town it would be preferrable to fix it myself.... without removing a whole subframe..
Keen to hear any thoughts from a tech perspective, apologies for not being Ranger related...
Cheers
