Resetting the PCM in a 2014 Ford Escape is a straightforward process that requires a socket wrench. To begin, open the hood and locate the lock nut on the negative battery cable connector. Remove the nut and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Allow approximately 20 minutes for the PCM to discharge any stored backup power. Once the power is fully drained, reattach the terminal, tighten the nut, and you're all set.

To ensure optimal performance, it is necessary to leave it unplugged for a total of 3 hours. Keeping it unplugged for just 3 hours and 20 minutes may not be sufficient for certain larger capacitors and relays equipped with memory chips.
