Summary
SOME 2013-2016 ESCAPE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.5L ENGINE MAY EXHIBIT A ROUGH IDLE, LOW RPM AT IDLE OR A STALL ON HOT RESTART WITH NO DTCS IN SELF TEST. THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH BEING SEIZED. IF A VEHICLE COMES IN FOR THIS CONCERN, CHECK THE A/C COMPRESSOR TO SEE IF IT IS ENGAGED DURING START UP/INITIAL RUN. THE PCM STRATEGY KEEPS THE A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH OFF FOR 5 SECONDS ON INITIAL START. IF SO, REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY (CV6Z-19703-L). IF NOT, PERFORM NORMAL DIAGNOSTICS IN THE PC/ED.
