Key Product Information
Additional Information
| FITMENT | Fits Ford Fiesta (2011–2019) and Ford Focus (2012–2018) models equipped with the DPS6/6DCT250 6‑speed dual‑clutch automatic transmission; two actuators are used per transmission (Clutch A and Clutch B). Ford Fiesta (2011-2019): 1.6L I4 Ti‑VCT (vehicles equipped with DPS6 dual‑clutch automatic) Ford Focus (2012-2018): 2.0L I4 GDI Ti‑VCT (vehicles equipped with DPS6 dual‑clutch automatic) |
| SYMPTOMS | Common signs of a failing clutch actuator include erratic or missed shifts, hesitation, loss of reverse or drive engagement, shudder, and MIL/DTCS such as P0809, P0805, P087A/B, P0806, P0900, P090D, and often P0902 or P090C (Clutch Actuator Circuit Low). |
| TROUBLESHOOTING | Before replacement, inspect actuator connectors/wiring and verify TCM software updates. After replacement, run the DPS6 Clutch Adaptive Learn. If learn fails or DTCs persist (e.g., P090C/P0902), check for TCM faults, ground and battery condition, and mechanical clutch wear or contamination per WSM/GSB guidance. |
| INSTALLATION | There are two identical actuators (upper = Clutch A, lower = Clutch B) and this part number services both positions. Follow WSM 307‑01A procedures. Ford guidance calls for applying Motorcraft XL‑2 High‑Temp Nickel Anti‑Seize to the actuator interface and performing a post‑install clutch adaptive/touch‑point learn with a suitable scan tool (IDS or equivalent). Maintain system voltage >12.5V during learn. |
| MAINTENANCE | |
| GENERAL_NOTES | Ford issued a Customer Satisfaction Program (20B23) on certain 2016–2017 Focus vehicles to replace both clutch actuator motors. Always verify by VIN. This actuator is external to the gearbox and typically serviceable without full transmission removal. |
