Certain 2011 through 2015 Model Year Fiesta and 2012 through 2016 Model Year Focus Vehicles Equipped with a DPS6 Automatic Transmission; Transmission Control Module Extended Warranty Coverage REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT Non\-Ford Part Usage: • Vehicles that are still covered by the 8 years/80,000\-mile Emissions warranty coverage MUST be serviced with a NEW Ford Motor Company TCM. • Vehicles outside of or exceeding the 8 years/80,000\-mile coverage are authorized to use a used Ford Motor Company TCM, a refurbished original Ford TCM, or an aftermarket TCM that will successfully complete the required Ford software updates.
- [SSM 49821](/bulletins/10194428.md), 2021-06-01, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Some 2015\-2021 Ford and Lincoln vehicles may exhibit an illuminated MIL with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTC\) P0011, P0012, P0014, P0015, P0016, P0017, P0018, P0019, P0021, P0022, P0024 and/or P0025. This may be due to small debris causing the VCT solenoid to stick. Before attempting any component diagnosis or replacement of the VCT solenoid, refer to Powertrain Control and Emissions Diagnosis \(PC/ED\) pinpoint test HK11 to cycle the affected VCT solenoid 10 times to attempt to clear the debris. For claiming, use causal part 6M280 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards \(SLTS\) Manual.
- [SSM 47002](/bulletins/10138517.md), 2018-05-29, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. Some 2011\-2017 Fiesta vehicles may exhibit various concerns following IPC replacement including odometer displaying incorrect English or Metric units and/or diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) U2101 in multiple modules. If Programmable Module Installation \(PMI\) has been performed on the replacement IPC, disconnect the IPC, start a new Integrated Diagnostic System \(IDS\) or Ford J2534 Diagnostic Software \(FJDS\) session and perform a PMI on the IPC. Do not reconnect the IPC until after the IDS or FJDS states it is unable to communicate with the IPC, then allow the PMI process to complete. This will automatically load the correct configuration and address any related DTCs or symptoms.
- [SSM 46900](/bulletins/10127405.md), 2018-01-29, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. 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.
- [TSB 16\-0129](/bulletins/10109047.md), 2017-08-01, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. Some 2011\-2016 Fiesta and 2012\-2016 Focus vehicles equipped with a DPS6 transmission may exhibit intermittent concerns of loss of transmission engagement while driving, intermittent no start or a loss of power. These symptoms are usually accompanied by an illuminated Check Engine lamp. Additional symptoms may include messages in the message center indicating hill start assist is not available, that parking aid malfunction/service is required or the transmission PRNDL/S gear selector on the instrument cluster may flash. Diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) U0100, U0101, U1013 and/or P0606 will be present or stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\) memory. Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
- [SSM 46421](/bulletins/10099106.md), 2017-05-15, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). 2013\-2017 FOCUS S MODEL VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE AN OUTSIDE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE DISPLAYED IN THE IPC AND THIS FEATURE CANNOT BE ADDED.
