U060ELost Communication With Crankcase Pressure Sensor
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- How the car detects it
- A crankcase pressure sensor lets the engine controller check the positive crankcase ventilation for leaks or a disconnected hose, which CARB 1968.2 requires. Ford fits it in two versions. The analog one reports circuit low, high and range faults; the SENT one uses P051A and U060E. Ford's gasoline summaries for 2020 to 2023 and 2024 run this check continuously and record a fault after 5 s once the controller recognizes faulted signal patterns from the sensor; P051A then marks a sensor that reports itself defective, U060E a link that no longer delivers usable frames. Both block the ventilation disconnect test (P04DB, later P2C90), because that monitor needs a working sensor. Drivability is normally unaffected, but the MIL comes on.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light

- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
