Hello guys I had to replace two cps senors in my 2000 4x4 PSD why do they go ? Does Ford know about this?Can anybody give some insite from keeping this from happenig again.

 

My early 99 has almost 200k on it and never needed it to be replaced. Ford knows but doesn't care. Do a search on TDS for DieselDawg and see how many he's replaced. I'd say a dozen.

 

Could be a bad batch of sensors that were not screened correctly and didn't go thru ESS testing or burn-in. The CPS,which is a Hall effect device, is being used in many automotive applications now and is generally speaking a reliable solid state component. The gent at TDS who replaced many may have another problem causing the premature failure of the device but i'm making an educated guess.

Yeah, I saw the Dawg at a wedding the other night and he's finally thrown in the towel and brought the truck to a shop.

 

I'm thinking PCM problem...would love to know what he finds.

I will put money on the possiblily of incorrect depth and it's hitting internally. just a guess but replacing that many there is definatly something else wrong, mine is a 2000 with 104,000 on it and stiill has the original one in it. Local tow truck company has a 01 with just over 300k and never replaced his either (although he has gone through a couple starters and about 4 altenators but no CPS)

 

Thanks guys for the input
