# Service bulletin TSB\-10\-18\-11 A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned. - Type: Service bulletin - NHTSA id: 10037082 - Published by NHTSA: 2011\-05\-04 - Manufacturer's number: TSB\-10\-18\-11 - Manufacturer's date: 2010\-09\-14 - NHTSA component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE ## NHTSA's summary FORD: ON SOME 2010 MODELS THERE MAY BE MANY SYMPTOMS SUCH AS AN ENGINE RATTLE, MALFUNCTION LIGHT, LACK OF POWER, NO START, AND RUNS ROUGH. \*RM UPDATED 8/9/11. \*PE ## The document No address for NHTSA's copy can be built for this communication. Ask the dealer for it by the manufacturer's number. ## Components Engine ## Vehicles listed - 2010 FORD EXPLORER - 2010 FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC - 2010 FORD MUSTANG ## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component - [SSM 47797](/bulletins/10156877.md), 2019-04-08, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER. Some 2009\-2017 Expedition/Navigator, 2009\-2014 F\-150/Mustang, 2008\-2009 Sable, 2008\-2019 Taurus/Flex/MKT, 2013\-2019 Police Interceptor Sedan/Utility, and 2011\-2019 Explorer vehicles may exhibit inoperative or intermittent HVAC blower motor function at various fan speed settings. This may be due to a poor electrical connection at the blower motor speed control. If the blower motor speed control is determined to be the causal part, replacement of the electrical connector pigtail harness \(14S411\) to the blower motor speed control is also recommended to avoid repeat repairs. Refer to Wiring Diagram, Cell 5 for recommended splicing procedures. Refer to Wiring Diagram, Cells 54/55 to obtain the service pigtail connector part number. - [SSM 47331](/bulletins/10143079.md), 2018-07-23, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT; ENGINE. Various vehicles equipped with a 4.6L, 5.4L, 6.8L modular 3 valve engine built on or before 8\-Jan\-2016 may exhibit symptoms that may include upper end engine noise, rough running, misfire and/or engine damage. If diagnosis leads to only camshaft/camshaft roller follower\(s\) requiring replacement, replace all of the camshaft roller followers on both banks/cylinder heads with part number 3L3Z\-6564\-A, not just the faulty roller follower\(s\). When replacing the camshaft roller followers, refer to Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 303\-01. - [SSM 46085](/bulletins/10109070.md), 2017-08-01, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE \(EGR VALVE\); ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OTHER FUEL TYPES:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:HOSES/LINES/PIPING/FITTINGS; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY; ENGINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CRANKCASE \(PCV\); ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN. The Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis \(PC/ED\) manual has been revised for diagnosing electronic throttle bodies \(ETBs\). The ETC\_ACT and ETC\_DSD PIDs should not used to diagnose possible ETB concerns. The IDS has a limited refresh rate when reading these PIDs and cannot display quickly enough to validate a concern. The PCM automatically monitors these inputs more accurately and will set diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) when appropriate. Using these PIDs for diagnostics will lead to inaccurate results and improper ETB replacements. If a concern is intermittent and no DTCs are present, refer to historical DTCs and the PC/ED, Section 3 No DTCs Present Index chart for further information. - [SB\-32167\-70](/bulletins/10052191.md), 2013-06-24, Service bulletin: ENGINE.
