Title: 3 bar map sensor
Post by: mike2225 on May 09, 2018, 11:54:45 AM
I recently purchased a 2015 Taurus sho and I'm about to start tuning my car. I'm in need of a 3bar map sensor which from what I've reasearced is part # cx2231 AA5Z-9F479-B. I went to my local Ford dealership and they told me that a F-150 Map sensor # cx2401 AA5Z-9F479-C should fit my car. Can anyone confirm that the cx2401 sensor will fit my car and will work with the SCT X4 or should I just order the cx2231 sensor.

Are you needing the 3 bar that is already in place, replaced, or going from 2 bar on the intake to 3 bar? F150 one should work...I wasn't aware there was even a difference in part number

I'm going from the stock 2bar and want to upgrade to a 3bar so I can start tuning my sho

I got mine off Amazon. It was the cheapest I could find.

CX2231 can still be used even though it's been replaced with a newer part number, yes? I found one being listed as the original CX2231/AA5Z9F479-B for a good price so I ordered it and now I find myself worrying whether or not it's still good to use.

Literally applied this yesterday to my 2015 SHO with the tune of course. Remember 3 bar sensor goes in as you are about to tune the vehicle. So, 1) put in 3 bar sensor, 2) flash vehicle tune, 3) enjoy. All completed in about 10 mins with sct x4. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180511/36064ec944905284f5e57cf39601e273.jpg)
