The root cause is often due to water ingress on the module side of the rack.
#2015 FORD ENGINE CODES CODE#
U3000 – 49 will be generated first and once it has been flagged multiple times U3000 – 53 will then be triggered, this code cannot be cleared once present:Ĭ102D - 00 - High Friction in power steering - is caused by excessive mechanical resistance within the power steering rack. The water ingress seeps into the torque sensor housing damaging the sensor. Water ingress has been found to come in around the bulkhead boot and the joint housing of the pinon shaft. U3000 – 49 & U3000 – 53 - Control Module: Internal Electronic Failure – are fault codes known to be generated when water ingress occurs on the column side of the steering rack. The most common fault codes to be stored are U3000 - 96 – Control Module, U3000 - 49 – Power Steering Control Unit Fault and U3000 - 53 – Control Module and finally C102D-00-C8 – High Friction Inside Power Steering. This will cause the steering to become very heavy, requiring the person driving the car to input a lot more effort into the steering wheel, also the warning message: ‘Power steering fault service required’ will appear on the Focus and C-Max dash cluster.
This steering rack with mounted electric power steering motor and module will often fail completely and suddenly, leading to a complete loss of power assisted steering. The Ford Focus and C-Max power steering rack, motor and combined module, fitted to the build range 2010 to 2015, is a common failing part.
