Anyone have more info on this? I'm searching for a more detailed article.

Suspension Of The 2017 Ford Fusion Sport | Ford Authority

the new 2017 Ford Fusion V6 Sport also features a continuously-controlled damping system that warrants some discussion. Continuously-controlled dampers such as those to be used in the new Fusion Sport sedan use solenoid valves to alter the flow of hydraulic fluid within the damper cylinder. That solenoid valve is controlled by a computer which continuously scans input data to determine when to stiffen or soften the damper.

The overall effect is quite akin to that achieved by magnetorheological shocks, but these dampers are more economical, and don’t suffer from the same latency of charge dissipation from the fluid. Ultimately, this means that the 2017 Ford Fusion V6 Sport ought to deliver composed, controlled cornering with little body roll, and still prove smooth and comfortable over rough pavement.

In addition, Ford has announced that the 2017 Ford Fusion Sport will ship with “pothole detection technology,” which scans the road continuously for sudden dips and divots and alerts the damper controller. The shocks are then adjusted precisely at just the right moment to minimize the impact on vehicle occupants.

It's not in the spread sheet. It's somewhere in the thread. You can adjust up to 8 blinks.

And here is the spread sheet.

Whoa, I didn't know you could change the NUMBER of blinks! Just thought you could turn the function on/off. On my list of things to do today. I'm going to try 5 blinks as well.
Yup. 3 is not enough. 4 works perfect for me.
Here it is:

Is the CCD controller behind the trunk liner on the driver side?
Here are some more specifics about the system (from Lincoln). Just remember that the Sport only has Normal and Sport modes. Comfort is Lincoln only.

Continuously Controlled Damping

CCD offers three modes (sport, normal, comfort) that are accessible using MyLincoln Touch™ or controls on the steering wheel. CCD provides an agile, smooth and confident ride by quickly adjusting the shocks to any road. It uses an advanced suite of sensors that constantly monitor the vehicle’s suspension motion, body movement, steering and braking. The algorithm uses data from these sensors to adjust the suspension damping in milliseconds to help keep the body of the vehicle quiet and smoothly on track.

  • CCD system monitors 46 inputs that provide real-time data
  • CCD suspension reads 46 inputs every two milliseconds
  • CCD suspension reacts on average within 20 milliseconds
  • CCD has 12 sensors that speed-read the road and adjust the suspension faster than the blink of an eye
  • Each wheel/shock responds independently of the other three, allowing it to tailor its action to the specific condition it’s dealing with
  • The system allows for near-infinite variability of suspension response
  • CCD slows sudden changes in motion, CD helps to reduce roll, pitch and vertical velocities
  • CCD noticeably enhances driving comfort and dynamics by adjusting damping force for each individual wheel
  • CCD helps isolate vehicle from undesired road harshness

has there been a way found to bypass the sensors on the struts?

i just bypassed 2 coils on my raptor, which seems to be basically the same system, where an electromagnetic coil controls a needle valve via the VDM. I took the coils off the stock shocks and they threw codes until i put a bolt thru the middle and its been working fine since. this is probably the easiest way, but it would require removing the coils from stock shocks/struts but then you could run whatever coilover or aftermarket shocks/struts that are out there..

so i took out my whole shock assembly, the sensors are pressed into the side of the strut to read the oil pressure inside. I need to turn off or disable the sensor reading or bypass it in the computer.

As I just said, it's an electromagnetic coil that's controlling a valve in the shock..

What's the issue you're having that it needs to be disabled?

i don't have any of the factory struts', so i don't have any of the sensors. it is freaking out the computer because it is not receiving a signal , there for i need to disable or by pass the sensor signal

Not sure if this will work but looks like it plugs right into the VDM and fakes the signals from the shocks.. might want to give them a call
