I have a 2018 KF CX5 with a 2.0 engine and auto trans. I fitted a Corksport pod filter and get an occasional CEL. The fault is essentially as per the TSB 01-015/19 - when the engine is held at WOT below 2000rpm it goes into limp home mode and shows a CEL for a while after. It goes away once the car has been off for a while.
It’s not Corksports fault as they never said this product would work on my car, but I took a punt as the engine is the same. They did say if I could get the ecu updated as per the TSB then that would fix the issue, as they’ve only seen CEL’s on early versions of this engine (with a three wire MAF), once it’s updated there shouldn’t be any more CEL’s. The issue is I’m in New Zealand and the TSB is for the US market, so doesn’t cover my exact car. (the 2.0 only comes in manual in the US) My dealer said they searched for updates for my car on their system and couldn’t find any. Does anyone have any ideas? I’m pretty sure the files listed for the 2.0 engine in that TSB will work for my engine too but I’m not sure if that’s even possible to do….
