The complaint

A 2014 to 2016 Ford Escape equipped with the 6F35 transmission built on or before Feb. 26, 2016, may have a complaint of a harsh forward or reverse engagement after an active stop/start event. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp may be illuminated and diagnostic trouble code P0C27 “Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump Motor Current Low” may be set.

The cause

The above-mentioned complaint can be caused by air entering the auxiliary pump suction pipe due to the suction pipe not having a check ball in it which would prevent air from entering the tube—refer to figures 1 (above) and 2 (below). This also caused the false code P0C27 to be set, which would have led the technician to the possible replacement of the auxiliary pump or its control system components.

The correction

Replace the original suction pipe with the next design level suction pipe that has a check ball capsule in it using the part number seen in figure 11 and listed under “Service Information.” Torque auxiliary pump bolts to 115 lb./in. (13 N~m). Clear all trouble codes and check the fluid level.

  • Auxiliary Pump Gasket: DG9Z-7A136-B

With ATSG having the opportunity to help shops solve problems, sometimes we get faced with some real doozies. A shop will call and give us a laundry list of DTCs, leaving us to think someone must have a bulkhead connector unplugged. We then go through the arduous task of deciding which codes prompted other codes to set—we’re actually diagnosing diagnostic codes themselves at that point. So, when an issue comes up on our help line with codes that actually tell the story, it makes for a nice change, as well as a quick pathway to a repaired vehicle.
