- 2004 Ford Explorer XLS
2004 Ford Explorer XLS v6 4.0. Driving down the highway this afternoon from work I notice the wrench light came on but that's it. I was planning on stopping at a convenience store for dinner so I stopped and hooked up my code reader and got these codes showing as pending.
Got my food, started the Explorer up and heading down the highway, set the cruise and driving along and then the check engine light comes on and cruise shuts off. Still no limp mode or noticeable loss of power though. Just double checked the codes to make sure there weren't any new ones and just the P2135 and P2106 both confirmed now.
I know I need to check the throttle body and see how dirty that is and probably clean as I never have. I'm guessing I should also inspect the harmonic balance to see if there are any issues with that. It's dark and cold here in Pennsylvania so I haven't even looked under the hood yet tonight so see if anything came unhooked or anything. I will do that also. I do have a noisy front wheel bearing that I already plan on replacing tomorrow morning as I just got the new one in the mail today. I know this shouldn't be related but thought I would just throw that out there.
My code reader software is showing a frequently reported fix for the P2106 is replacing the differential speed sensor. I believe my rear diff has gotten noisier lately but what does anyone thing of this?
Also, what do you guys think of getting these 2 codes together and no actual operating issues other than the loss of cruise control?
