Windstar control module error

I had a similar issue on my Windstar. Get a proper scan tool that can read the specific code. It does sound like a control module problem. What's the exact code you're getting?

The code I'm getting is B1318. I've tried clearing it with my cheapo scanner, but it just pops right back up after a few minutes. Is that the same thing you experienced? Did you ever find out what caused the issue?

Yeah, the code reappearing is definitely something I saw. In the end, it turned out that the coding of the vehicle was indeed incorrect. I couldn't fix it myself. You'll probably need to take it to a workshop to have them recode the control module using specialized software. They should be able to sort it out.

Okay, I appreciate the insight! Sounds like my tinkering days are over on this one. Looks like a trip to the shop is in order. For anyone else facing this, the final repair bill was 360€. I hope this thread can help someone else in the future!
