Have a 2010 Sport trac 4.6 Ck engine light on. Shows 5-6 codes. Ford replaces cpu. After 15 miles check engine light on again. Shows 5- 6 codes. Ford replaces cpu again. After 8 miles ck engine light again. Shows one code #433 I take car hone while waiting on an appointment from them. I remove battery terminals, i clean the posts and clamps. I then goto each grounding nut under the hood attached to the body of truck and looses and clean with my little wire brush. I leave disconnected over night with headlight switch on. I then reconnect. Light don't come on. I get to 50 miles and I bring for inspection. It passes. No codes. What happened? And was my original comp bad?
