Summary of Reddit Comments on F150 2011 Code Scanner
F150 Radiator Fan and Fuses
- Issue: Radiator fan not coming on during normal driving.
- Advice: "It should kick on when coolant gets around 215F or so."
- Recommendation: Check all fuses in the box on top of the radiator.
Common Failures and Repairs
- Recommendation: Start with an oil change and clear the codes.
- Common Repairs:
- P0024: Replace Variable Valve Timing Control Solenoid (2) and oil pressure sensor (1).
- P0012: Replace Variable Valve Timing Control Solenoid (2), camshaft position sensor (2), and oil pressure switch (2).
- P0014: Replace Variable Valve Timing Control Solenoid (7) and oil pressure sensor (1).
- P0022: Replace Variable Valve Timing Control Solenoid (4) and oil pressure switch (2).
- Suggestion: Replace Variable Valve Timing Control Solenoids, preferably with Motorcraft parts.
- Additional Information: "Once you have all 4 VCT solenoids out make sure you compare the new and old connectors on the solenoids because if I remember correctly Ford did an update on them between 2010-2012."
Door Panel and Actuator Issues
- Problem: Difficulty reaching fasteners holding the panel on the door without opening it.
- Solution: Use ForScan to get the exact code for the issue.
- User Query: "How do I open the door from the inside with a broken actuator?"
Fuel volatility and Codes
- Suggestion: Try using new fresh fuel, preferably in summer, as different formulations are used for different seasons.
- User Recommendation: "Throw some premium in it and maybe it'll quit bitchin."
- Explanation: Low Fuel volatility affects engine operation, emissions, starting, and warm-up time.
Additional Codes Discussion
- Code P200A: Might need an Intake Manifold depending on how the vehicle was designed.
- Code P0106: Might also be resolved with a new Intake Manifold.
Vacuum smoke test
- Suggestion: Consider doing a Vacuum smoke test as an Intake gasket leak in the right spot can cause misfire on a single cylinder.
