Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) B3A1B, P0113, P0217, and/or P0480 may be stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to poor engine compartment ground connections at G105, G107, G111 and/or G122. Refer to the Wiring Diagram (WD) > Grounds Cell 010 > Pages 2, 3, 7 and 8. Prior to any Workshop Manual (WSM) diagnostics, verify all listed grounds are tightened to 62 lb-in (7 Nm) to resolve this condition. If symptoms or DTCs return after all grounds are tightened, follow normal WSM diagnostics.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11031637-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11031637-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/11031637"}],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/makes/ford/explorer/2026/bulletins?code=P0217"},"related":{"components":[],"bulletins":[],"recalls":{"may_apply":true,"recalls":[],"lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null}}},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/makes/ford/explorer/2026/codes/P0217","note":"The bulletins listed name this code in NHTSA's summary, or are about the same components.
