P0153 is a common OBDII code that occurs in many vehicles, including the Ford Freestyle. The code is triggered when there is an issue with the response time from the O2 sensor when switching voltage levels. The Oxygen sensor is responsible for helping the ECM monitor oxygen levels in the exhaust in order to … Read more

P0300 is a generic OBDII code that can occur with the Ford Freestyle. This code indicates that your vehicle’s engine is misfiring and can be a drivability threat. P0300 is often accompanied by cylinder-specific misfire codes (P030X, where the X indicates the cylinder number that is misfiring). If you have P0300 and a cylinder-specific misfire, … Read more
P0113 is an OBDII trouble code that occurs when the Ford Freestyle’s engine management computer detects that there is an issue with the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor, specifically that there is a High Input Problem with it. P0113: IAT Sensor – High Input Problem The IAT sensor is responsible for measuring the air temperature … Read more
P0011 is a common (and serious) OBD II diagnostic trouble code that can occur in the Ford Freestyle. It indicates an issue with your vehicle’s Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system. The first thing you should do when you have this code is check your Freestyle’s oil. If the oil level is too low, the camshaft … Read more
P0139 is a common OBDII code that occurs in many vehicles, including the Ford Freestyle. The code is triggered when there is an issue with the response time from the oxygen (O2) sensor when switching voltage levels. The Oxygen sensors are responsible for helping the ECM meter oxygen levels in the exhaust, and helping to … Read more
P0010 is a relatively common trouble code. It affects vehicles with variable valve timing (VVT). The list of VVT vehicles is growing, and the Ford Freestyle can have VVT and is prone to developing this code. P0010 is often by low or sludgy oil. Check your Freestyle’s oil as soon as possible. P0010 is a … Read more
P0140 is a generic OBDII trouble code. It has the same meaning for any vehicle with OBDII, including the Ford Freestyle. It means that the PCM/ECM is not detecting any activity from the sensor. It doesn’t mean that the O2 sensor isn’t getting power, but that the voltage isn’t changing, which is the “no activity”. … Read more
