Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual cover the AWD Power Transfer Unit and Active Torque Coupling system?

Yes. The AWD section provides step-by-step PTU disassembly, Active Torque Coupling diagnostics, rear driveline service, and ATC barcode programming procedures – essential for addressing the PTU bearing and seal wear that is a well-documented concern on higher-mileage 2012 Flex AWD models.

Which transmissions are documented, and what fluid specs are included?

Both 6-speed automatics are fully covered. The 6F50 (paired with the naturally aspirated 3.5L VCT) uses Mercon LV with a 10.3-liter fill capacity, while the 6F55 (paired with the EcoBoost) carries an 11.0-liter fill. Solenoid charts, stall speed data, and gear ratio tables are included for both units.

Are wiring diagrams and scan-tool diagnostics included for all trim levels?

Yes. Complete electrical schematics cover battery, charging, lighting, cruise control, universal transmitter, and Active Park Assist across all 2012 Flex trims – SE, SEL, and Limited in both FWD and AWD configurations. Pinpoint test procedures walk you through isolating faults with a scan tool.
