The Ford Ranger / Mazda BT50 is a very common vehicle in Australia and New Zealand with over 300 thousand on the road.   IM Group’s customers have come across a common fault with these vehicles being an intermittent no start issue.  The vehicles in question include:

• Ford Ranger PJ series 2007-2009, WE-C (3.0L) WL-C (2.5L)

• The ignition key may have to be cycled multiple times until the check engine and glow lights in instrument cluster illuminate. Once the check engine & glow lights illuminate the engine will start.
• BAP sensor / MAP sensor performance code
• No communication between the ECM and scan tool
• No Injector outputs
• Immobiliser issues

Injectronics can provide the following solutions:

• A repair of the customer’s own unit
• Supply a fully programmed exchange unit (customer must provide the original unit)
• Supply an ECM in a virgin (new) state.  Ford factory scan tool, IDS or FMP programming will be required
• Supply a cloned ECM, matched to the immobiliser if the vehicle is immobilised
• Immobiliser key programming or programming immobiliser to ECM as required

Immobiliser system:

The part numbers on the ECM’s does not determine if the unit is immobilised or not.  A unit with the same part number can be either immobilised or non-immobilised.  Immobilised vehicles have an antenna coil imbedded in the black plastic trim ring around the ignition key barrel and a separate immobiliser module located above the ECM.
