First off, truck is a 2015 F-350 Platinum Crew cab with a 6.7L and a EZ Lynk with a deleted towing tune.

I'm at a loss and flustered. I've scoured the internet and have actually found several different threads describing my exact symptoms. Several of those threads are on here even. However none of "those" fixes have fixed this truck. Let's recap the problem.

​​​​​​I only got this truck 3 months ago with 80k miles. 2 weeks ago I tried to remote start it and when I got out to the truck I noticed it was t running. Thinking nothing of it I got in and tried to start it but it wouldnt start. Turned the key back off and tried again only this time it fired off. A week later I tried to start it and it's the same thing. No crank, no "glow plugs light", but all dash lights and screen work fine. After a second with the key on I start getting a plethora of errors displayed, "Service Advancetrac", "engine overheat", "check brake system", "tire pressure monitor fault", "starting system fault", and "hill decent control fault". After doing some searching I realize my scanner can't communicate with the PCM.

On the bright side after searching I found others with the exact problem so I'm happy thinking these fixes will work. Nope. So far I've unplugged the connector above the parking brake and reseated. Nothing. Undone all 3 connectors on the PCM. Nothing. Checked the fuses like 52, 7-something and the PCM relay. All good. Cleaned G103 ground. Nope. Tested the batteries. Both checked out. Someone mentioned a broken wire in the fuse box so I pulled it and checked. Wires look good. Redid the plugs around the fuse box yet still nothing. Obviously I have a PCM issue but I cannot for the life of me find it.

Anyone have any insight? I just got this truck 3 months ago and am doing everything in my power to not tow it to a dealer. Last thing I need is for them to start throwing money at it and then blame it on the fact that the truck is deleted. Thanks for letting me rant.

 

Speak with your tuner company?

 

I will ask the next obvious question. Are your batteries in top condition? Fully charged?

 

And did you scan for any codes?

 

I had a very wonky no-start issue on my truck earlier this year. It gave me fits, and I finally replaced the starter, and that cured it. My symptoms were similar to yours, and it most definitely did NOT seem like a starter problem.

 

Took both up and had them tested, both tested good.

 

Scanner can't connect to the pcm. Keeps saying "error".

 

Let's try this. Anyone know which connector and what's pins I need to check on the PCM to narrow down the issue? Ground, power, can bus, etc. Also I've read of people bumping the starter somehow located near a battery. Can anyone clarify this?

 

I had this issue on my 2016 F150.
IF it's the same issue the pcm is blank and has to be programmed. If it was tuned, your tuning device should be able to force your stock tune with help from the company (like SCT)
I tuned my F150, drove it 30 miles with no issues. Turned it off and upon restarting I got no crank and no connection through obd2

 

Good luck - as you said there have been similar reports, I was one of them.
After about the 3rd lengthy repair my undeleted 2014 6.7 truck became the property (and responsibility) of a Ford dealer; perhaps they finally fixed it, perhaps not.

 

All I need to do is fix it once and it will be straight to the dealer to trade it in.

 

Will the truck start if you put it in neutral? I had a similar problem and mine will only turn over if I put it in neutral.
