The P051B DTC found on Your 2017 Ford Escape indicates an issue with the Crankcase Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance. This means there's a problem with the crankcase pressure sensor that alerts the ECM about irregularities in crankcase pressure. Essentially, this error occurs if the pressure is too high or too low, which can impact fuel efficiency or potentially cause damage to seals and gaskets. When values fall outside the normal operating range, this code is triggered. It's worth noting that Ford has issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 19-2347, NHTSA ID Number: 10168763) regarding this issue specifically for 2017 Ford Escapes with the 1.5L EcoBoost engine, suggesting that the pressure sensor/tube assembly may need to be replaced by the dealer due to manufacturing flaws.
