When performing any transmission fluid changes or topoffs involving MERCON SP, MERCON LV has replaced all versions of MERCON SP and can be used going forward. Mixing MERCON LV and MERCON SP in the same transmission is acceptable. After 30\-Jun\-2023, MERCON SP ATF will no longer be manufactured and will only be available until inventory depletes. - [SSM 51854](/bulletins/10241626.md), 2023-09-04, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Various 2013\-2019 vehicles may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P264F after powertrain control module \(PCM\) replacement. This DTC indicates that the engine serial number \(ESN\) must be programmed into the PCM. The ESN is located on PTS \> Diagnostics tab \> HVBoM \> Features \> Engine Serial Number. Once the ESN is obtained from the historical vehicle bill of materials \(HvBOM\), it can be programmed into the PCM using the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. Navigate to the toolbox tab\> powertrain menu\> Service Functions\> ESN. - [SSM 51849](/bulletins/10241547.md), 2023-09-01, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Various 2013\-2019 vehicles may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P264F after powertrain control module \(PCM\) replacement. This DTC indicates that the engine serial number \(ESN\) must be programmed into the PCM. The ESN is located on PTS\> OASIS\> Features\> Engine Serial Number.

Some vehicles may exhibit a no start condition with an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) and a DTC P161A after PCM replacement. This may be due to the parameter reset procedure not being properly completed. To clear this DTC, use the Ford Integrated Diagnostic System \(IDS\) service tool or Ford J2534 Diagnostic Software, select \- Toolbox \- Body \- Security \- PATS Functions \- Parameter Reset. Follow the on\-screen instructions to complete the procedure. This procedure will transfer the existing Key ID information between the modules without the need of having 2 programmed PATS keys present. There is no need to program keys when the PCM is going to be replaced. Additional information can be found in the Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 419\-01. Missing or lost keys are not warrantable. - [SSM 46451](/bulletins/10099463.md), 2017-05-17, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. 2009\-2017 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6R80, 6R100, 6R140 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAVE AN UPDATED MAIN CONTROL VALVE BODY OVERHAUL PROCEDURE.
