ISSUE Some 2001-2005 Escape vehicles equipped with a 3.0L engine may exhibit idle speeds outside the specified range. Some 2001-2003 Escape vehicles equipped with a 3.0L engine and CD4E automatic transaxle may exhibit a transmission shudder. ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition. SERVICE PROCEDURE The Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) tests were developed specifically for the vehicles and Power Control Module (PCM) strategies for these vehicles. Per Workshop Manual (WSM), Powertrain Controls and Emissions Diagnostics (PC/ED) and Scheduled Maintenance Guide, review customer service history for use of any aftermarket oil filters. 1. Check for possible diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). a. No DTCs present, proceed to Step 2. b. If DTCs are present, discontinue with this procedure and refer to the PC/ED manual for diagnostics. 2. Engine must be at full operating temperature over 190 °F (88 °C) cylinder head temperature (CHT). 3. Connect IDS diagnostics tool and verify software version is at the latest level (63 or later required). 4. Begin a new vehicle session. 5. Open Tool Box selection.
