Ford Explorer diagnostics
Ford Explorer (1995–2026): free AI diagnosis by symptoms, fault codes or a dashboard photo — plus OBD-II reading right in the browser.
What usually goes wrong on the Ford Explorer
- V6 3.5 (2011-2019) — внутренний водяной насос с приводом от цепи, при течи сальника антифриз попадает в картер и убивает вкладыши.
- Раздаточная коробка PTU перегревается и гудит, масло в ней по регламенту не меняется, течёт сальник полуоси.
- Автомат 6F50/6F55 — рывки и удары при переключении, износ гидроблока и соленоидов после 120-150 тыс. км.
- Попадание выхлопных газов в салон на моделях 2011-2017 из-за негерметичности задней части кузова и выпуска (предмет расследования NHTSA).
These are the model's typical weak points, not a verdict on your particular car: the AI keeps them in mind, but the diagnosis comes from your symptoms and your codes.

Read the codes
Plug an ELM327 adapter (over USB or Bluetooth LE) into the OBD-II port and read fault codes right in the browser on the Connect adapter page — no software to install.

Start diagnosisWhat can be read from this car
Through the OBD-II port on your Ford Explorer you can read engine fault codes, live sensors, readiness monitors and a freeze frame — with an ELM327 adapter, including right in the browser. If the car has a CAN bus (roughly 2008 and newer), the program additionally polls the remaining modules:
For a deeper scan of your Ford Explorer — all modules, live data, freeze frames — use the free Diagnost program for Windows or macOS with an ELM327 adapter.
