    I've replaced 2 crank case sensors to date. Anyone else having similar problems?

    This is actually happening often.

    I love how you always know all the problems. Go join a Chevy forum.

    It's pretty easy to address issues on these. They are the same 3.5 ecoboost problems that have plagued the platform from the get go. The problematic past of the ecoboost are why people didn't want it in the raptor.

    I'm pretty sure he drives a Prius, Kia, or someing like that. Or maybe he's not old enough to drive so he has a 10 speed.

    not recommending anything here... but... a tuner can disable that sensor and code through a tune

    Are there any future concerns with disabling it?

    Question for Full Race.... if a sensor shorts open, does the system indicate it as a fault?

    So tell us about your raptor. Pics?

    none that i am aware of. You can leave things in place, the only change is to how your tuner chooses to set sensitivity of a fault code being set, and it's effects or not

    sorry, i do not understand your question - open circuit means infinite resistance, so there will be no current flow. short circuit means there is 0 resistance, so there will be too much current. Either way, the answer would depend on which sensor we are referring to and what is it's purpose. I am not a tuner/calibrator, but this is somewhat common. I have never seen an ecoboost sensor go bad and create a short however, that does happen with injectors, boost control solenoid valves and failed eBOV's

    that is false. the crankcase sensors did not exist on gen1 3.5L EcoBoost engines

    Full Race. I’m speaking to an open circuit. If the sensor opens, how does the dianostic circuit report the open circuit?

    Engine specifically. Engine problems are fairly easy to diagnose and address since they are the same issues that have appeared since 2010.

    The diagnostic system does not like it when you remove sensors. Instead you would want to keep everything plugged in and operational. Tuners simply disable the throwing of the code unless there is something catastrophic that could possibly happen, if that makes sense. there is no need for the computer to freak out and throw a code over nothing, essentially

    What are you referring to, exactly? We've worked on these engines since 2009 and most of the early issues have long since been resolved. Let alone the gen2 engines being superior in almost every way
