#1 of 3 2005 Ford Freestyle Low Oil Pressure Problem by rhondak Feb 21, 2008 (8:55 am)
Recently my 2005 Ford Freestyle (38k miles) has been starting rough in cold weather. The oil pressure low light comes on for about 5 seconds, then it stops and idles fine. What could be wrong? Replies to this message: barnstormer64 (Feb 21, 2008 6:13 pm) coldcranker (Jun 20, 2008 1:48 pm)

Replying to: rhondak (Feb 21, 2008 8:55 am) Mine comes on occasionally when I start, but it's only for about 1/2 second.   Are you using synthetic oil? That's what I use, and I'm wondering if that's the cause of it.   I'm assuming your oil level is OK?

Replying to: rhondak (Feb 21, 2008 8:55 am) (It has nothing to do with synthetic oil.) The answer is in TSB 06-20-7, something that other people on these forums have encountered. Take the info below to your Ford dealer. Note, if your original 3-year, 36,000 mile warranty is over, then this can be fixed for free under the EPA Emissions Warranty. Ask the Ford dealer about that warranty, and if they still want to charge you, then contact the EPA, since by law they are supposed to fix it free.   TSB 06-20-7 LONG CRANKING TIME OR NO START ON INITIAL START ATTEMPT - VEHICLES BUILT ON OR BEFORE 6/6/2006   Publication Date: September 29, 2006   FORD: 2005-2007 Five Hundred, Freestyle MERCURY: 2005-2007 Montego   ISSUE: Some 2005-2007 Five Hundred, Freestyle, and Montego vehicles built on or before 6/6/2006 may exhibit a long cranking time or a possible no-start on initial start attempt. This symptom may also be accompanied by the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0300, P0316, P2107, and P2110. If the vehicle exhibits the long crank / no start issue, reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM). If the vehicle just exhibits these DTCs without the long crank / no start symptom follow normal Powertrain Controls/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual diagnostics instead of this TSB.   ACTION: Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 44.24 and higher or 45.3 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2006.9 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com.   WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage And Emissions Warranty Coverage   OPERATION DESCRIPTION TIME 062007A 2005-2007 Five Hundred, Freestyle, Montego: Check For Diagnostic Trouble Codes And Reprogram The Powertrain Control Module (Do Not Use With 12650D) 0.4 Hr.
