I have a 2019 3.5 EcoBoost starting doing some mods after I pulled exh manifolds off to bolt up full race manifolds I pulled my wires out the crankcase pressure sensor on drivers side that goes from intercooler tube to valve cover it has a yellow, yellow green ,and a green brown can someone please tell me when you look at yours plugged in from the firewall out which colors go where I tried many different set up and replaced the sensor and tube and keep throwing a p051D-00 code I thought i had it right we erase the code drive home fine shut off truck start it back up and the engine light comes back on. thanks for info I'm new to this site but not new to the EcoBoost.

So last night I took pig out and tried to secure wires better, put back in sensor, and cleared codes, went to start truck & now a wrench symbol on dash I just shut it off did not look to see what code it was throwing now, as I hopefully will get my new pigtail today from dealer, and I will try to get it put on this weekend, and see if it works..

I picked up new pig tail not yet put on I played with wires in orginal one just to see if I can stop engine light from coming on, and I was not able to, I am scratching my head on the pictures I have form earlier post on wiring colors, I dont even know if I have them right, the picture that was posted with plug is diff year but I would think they should be the same ?? then you look at the pig tail 1 should be yellow, and 2 should be ye,gr and 3 should be gn,vt so when I have it plugged into sensor the yellow should be first one on top left to right ? I get a engine light with the key on dont even have to run the engine, I will start it and engine light right away for code po51b ... or when looking at plug when in sensor should yellow be on the far right then go left from there no one ever showed a picture of the plug off a 2019 ecoboost 3.5? once I threw 2 codes po68a came up also.. I checked the pcm relay with electrician at work it appears good ..

Ok. Let’s start fresh. You have a new pigtail, right? It is to connect to the sensor, right?
Please post a few photos of the wires in the truck and the pigtail that you bought. We will go from there…

All I can find in my wiring diagrams for 2018 - 2019 Work shop manual wiring diagrams is that the Crankcase pressure sensor wiring seems to match your crankcase position sensor wires.
The Pressure sensor connector is in the lower half by the blue star. The wires are as seen coming out the back.
Perhaps the Green-Violet looks Green-brown.

When in doubt ohm out through the factory harness. Or use a multimeter to confirm which wire is which.

I did not. Probably just gonna replace the harness. Do you happen to know which one it is? I see many harnesses listed and am afraid I’m gonna end up with the wrong one
well if you look at my other post I gave the part number to pigtail hey boatwaco I said I got my part from ford dealer of I switched wires 1 an 3 and no light drove around block no engine light, so no pigtail needed. so looking at my picture yellow is on left, and gr-vt on right.. anyway thanks for help..

FYI - Ford will sell an entire harness, but typically they do not offer “pieces” of said harness. You can buy harness kits (as I call them) that have the right connector or, importantly, the right connector metal pins. These often come with one set of wires, all the same color.
So? Well, if I wanted to replace a section of harness that was broke, I would get the whole harness and replace it. I would not try to add on just a section. My preference. To me, it eliminates a lot of potential shorts or bad splices.
Just the way I do.

If you having an issue with one section of the harness, the rest of the harness is pretty worn as well. You can prevent future issues with a new one.

I get what your saying but I'm not having wiring issues anymore, besides to buy a whole harness just to get 2 inch of colored wire probably hundreds of dollars the pig tail that is offered is same part just all green wires, but I get it hopefully mine stays good I also dipped some electric tape glue in the cavity so it will hold wires better non the less I now know where the wires go I am a tool maker not a electrician lol... I also do all my own work my brother in law is a mechanic and never touches my vehicles..
