Transmission Output Shaft Bearing Noise Detected
2016-2016 Ford Explorer 3.5L V6 EcoBoost
The 2016 Ford Explorer is equipped with a 3.5L V6 turbocharged gasoline engine. Below you'll find detailed p3067 diagnostic code information including labor time estimates, cost ranges, and technician notes specific to this engine configuration.
Description
The TCM or vibration sensor has detected a signature consistent with output shaft bearing wear in the transmission.
Symptoms
- Whining noise proportional to vehicle speed
- Noise changes with load but not with gear
- Vibration felt through floor
- Noise present in all gears
- Transmission fluid may have metallic sheen
Common Causes
- Output shaft bearing wear
- Insufficient lubrication
- Bearing preload incorrect
- High mileage wear
- Contaminated fluid causing bearing damage
Diagnostic Steps
- Listen for bearing noise at varying speeds
- Check transmission fluid for metal particles
- Perform vibration analysis
- Road test in multiple gears to isolate source
- Inspect transmission for external leaks
Repair Notes
Transmission removal and bearing replacement required. Inspect output shaft for scoring. Replace fluid and filter.
