- [SSM 47850](/bulletins/10156571.md), 2019-04-03, Service bulletin: STEERING; STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR. 2017\-2019 F\-Super Duty, 2017\-2019 Continental, 2015\-2019 Edge, 2016\-2018 MKX and 2019 Nautilus vehicles may exhibit an inoperative heated steering wheel. For vehicles equipped with adaptive steering, the steering effort control module \(SECM\) controls the heated steering wheel feature and is internal to the vehicle's steering wheel. For vehicles not equipped with adaptive steering, the heated steering wheel module \(HSWM\) controls the heated steering wheel feature and is separate from the steering wheel. Using the OASIS Tab drop down \> HVBoM \> Features button or an appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool, you can determine if the vehicle is equipped with Adaptive Steering. Refer to the Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 211\-05.

- [SSM 47638](/bulletins/10152466.md), 2019-01-07, Service bulletin: STEERING; STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR. 2013\-2019 vehicles equipped with a LKS system with customer complaints of steering wheel vibration, steering pull or vehicle drift may be due to an alert and/or steering aid input from the LKS. The LKS system detects unintentional drifting toward the outside of the lane and alerts and/or aids vehicle to stay in the lane. Be sure the customer understands how the lane departure warning feature settings work for Alert \(steering wheel vibration\) and Aid \(steering input toward lane center\). Further information on the LKS can be found in the owners manual. If the customers concern is due to the LKS functioning as intended, do not attempt to repair.
- [SSM 47489](/bulletins/10144947.md), 2018-09-24, Service bulletin: STEERING. When connecting the Vehicle Communication Module \(VCM\) and Integrated Diagnostic System \(IDS\) or Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\) to the DLC located on the driver side under the steering column at the GWM, make sure that the ignition is off before connecting the VCM. If the ignition is on or the engine is running during the connection, it can result in various warning lights being illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\), no start, no crank conditions or the IPC inoperative. If a vehicle displays these issues, disconnect the equipment from the DLC and disconnect the vehicle battery. Wait 10 minutes and reinstall with the ignition off. Clear any DTCs present and retest.
- [SSM 46210](/bulletins/10095995.md), 2017-03-20, Service bulletin: STEERING. SOME 2010\-2016 EPAS EQUIPPED VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT STEERING RELATED NOISES. THE WORKSHOP MANUAL \(WSM\) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN UPDATED IN SECTION 211\-02. WHEN DIAGNOSING AND REPAIRING EPAS STEERING NOISES USE THE UPDATED PROCEDURES.
- [SSM 46022](/bulletins/10092562.md), 2017-02-23, Service bulletin: STEERING; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHEN HOOKING UP THE VEHICLE COMMUNICATION MODULE \(VCM\) AND INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM \(IDS\) TO THE DLC LOCATED ON THE DRIVER SIDE UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN AT THE GWM, MAKE SURE THAT THE IGNITION IS OFF BEFORE CONNECTING TO IDS. IF THE IGNITION IS ON OR THE ENGINE IS RUNNING DURING THE HOOK UP, IT CAN RESULT IN VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS BEING ILLUMINATED WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES \(DTCS\), NO START OR NO CRANK CONDITIONS OR THE CLUSTER INOPERATIVE. FOR LINCOLN VEHICLES, THIS INFORMATION IS NOW LISTED IN THE TECHNICAL INSPECTION AND POST ROAD TEST SECTIONS OF EPDI ON THE PTS WEBSITE. IF A VEHICLE DISPLAYS THESE ISSUES, DISCONNECT THE EQUIPMENT FROM THE DLC AND REINSTALL WITH THE IGNITION OFF. CLEAR ANY DTCS PRESENT AND RETEST.
