Service Procedure
NOTE: See Figure 1 for the correct gas particulate filter pressure sensor assembly that should be installed
on the 1.5L EcoBoost engine vs. the incorrect gas particulate filter pressure sensor assembly. (Figure 1)
Figure 1

1. Open the vehicle's hood. Using a flashlight, look for the gas particulate filter pressure sensor assembly located on
the passenger side of the exhaust, between the back of the engine and the bulkhead, just above the steering gear.
Does the gas particulate filter pressure sensor assembly currently installed on the vehicle have a heat shield
covering the sensor as shown in the images below? (Figures 2-3)
Figure 2

Figure 3

(1). Yes - proceed to Step 2.
(2). No - this article does not apply. Refer to WSM, Section 309-00 for normal diagnostics.
2. With the vehicle in N, position it on a hoist. Refer to WSM, Section 100-02 Jacking and Lifting > Description and
Operation.
3. Remove the retainers and the underbody shields. Refer to the WSM, Section 502-00 Uni-Body, Subframe and
Mounting System > Front Subframe > Removal and Installation and perform only Steps 7 and 8. (Figures 4-5)

4. Replace the gas particulate filter pressure sensor assembly.
(1). Disconnect electrical connector for the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor and detach the wiring retainer
secured to the gas particulate filter pressure sensor bracket. (Figure 6)
Figure 6

(2). Disconnect electrical connector for the gas particulate filter pressure sensor assembly. (Figure 7)

(5). Remove the gas particulate filter pressure sensor assembly.
5. Install the correct gas particulate filter pressure sensor assembly.
(1). Position the new gas particulate filter pressure sensor assembly in place.
(2). Reinstall the gas particulate filter pressure sensor support bracket bolts and tighten to 10.5Nm (7.74 lb-ft).
(Figure 7)
(3). Connect the gas particulate filter pressure sensor hoses and install the hose clips. (Figure 8)
(4). Connect electrical connector for the gas particulate filter pressure sensor assembly. (Figure 7)

(5). Reinstall the wiring retainer and connect electrical connector for the EGT sensor. (Figure 6)
6. Reinstall the underbody shields and the retainers. Refer to the WSM, Section 502-00 Uni-Body, Subframe and
Mounting System > Front Subframe > Removal and Installation and perform only Steps 7 and 8. (Figures 4-5)
