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.
