Emissions Fuel Capless System Failure.

Has any one had this pop up? If so what was done to fix it?

If you are able to get your hands on a OBD2 code reader/scan tool or Forscan, a DTC would be most helpful.

Otherwise, these App notifications tend to be somewhat vague and generics. That's why it says "for vehicles with capless fuel system) vs giving you a targeted diagnostic. Certainly feel free to try to insert the funnel and see if it helps.

However, just an FYI the actual reason may be completely unrelated. Ford just throws something like this out there because it's simple and the owner can try it themselves. It may not be the correct action to take however. I believe the EVAP purge code will pull up a similar "recommendation" that will do nothing to fix the problem.

Long story short, you really need to get the DTC number as the first point of troubleshooting this.

Pull the code. This screenshot really doesn’t tell much.

Just pulled code P0128 & P0456

I had this code pop up last week P0456. Paid $799 for a purge valve job yesterday at the dealer SMH. I had this done the first time 3 years ago under warranty. They gave me 2 year warranty on that part at least. sheesh!

P0456 is usually the purge valve. I hesitate to say definitively because I cannot troubleshoot the vehicle. It's a ~$71 part or so and can be swapped in 30 mins. Unsure if this in your scope of ability but you can search this code number and "explorer evap purge" and find info on how to go about replacing it. A simple test to see if it's bad is to simply blow through it, unfortunately you need to remove it to do this.

Here's the part, but you'll want to verify it's the correct one for your vehicle by way of VIN

P0128 is a code i would erase and just see if it comes back. It's referring to the engine temp not coming up fully. It could be a stuck thermostat, but what i'd do is erase it (while writing the code down and remembering you got it) and see if it returns. You can also pull up the coolant temp PID on your scan tool and see what your coolant temp actually is. If you are getting above 170 degrees i'd reset and see if it returns. If you are staying under 170 consistently it's likely a stuck tstat. Not a terrible job to do.

I had mine throw a P0128 a little less than a year ago. I reset it and it's never since returned.
