# Service bulletin TSB 17\-0021

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.

- [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.

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. 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 50636](/bulletins/10209384.md), 2022-03-29, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; EQUIPMENT. 2011\-2022 F\-Super Duty and 2016\-2023 F\-650/F\-750 vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit an elevated idle condition. During prolonged idle time, vehicles may experience this elevated idle to reduce unburned hydrocarbons from the SCR. The powertrain control module estimates hydrocarbon levels in the SCR and may increase idle speed to remove them. Idle speed will be increased to 1000 RPM for ambient temperatures near 26°C \(80°F\) and may increase to 1200 RPM at \-40 °C \(\-40°F\). Vehicles may exhibit exhaust smoke and diesel exhaust fluid smell during elevated idle condition. Exhaust smoke and smell condition will not affect reliability or durability of the engine. Power take\-off \(PTO\) use and idle set point control will disable elevated speed. It is required that the operator monitor the vehicle and adhere to any Exhaust Filter warning messages.
- [SSM 50549](/bulletins/10208829.md), 2022-03-08, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Some 2018\-2020 F\-150, 2017\-2022 F\-Super Duty and 2016\-2022 F\-650/F\-750 vehicles equipped with a diesel engine may exhibit diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P0000 stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\) after an on\-demand self test. This DTC is due to a processing error in the PCM as a result of on\-demand self testing. P0000 is an invalid DTC that will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) and no repairs should be performed.
- [SSM 50449](/bulletins/10207142.md), 2022-02-04, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Some 2016 F\-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may have diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P04E3 stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\) after reprogramming the PCM software for various reasons. Vehicles built on or after 11\-Nov\-2015 are not equipped with a crankcase ventilation sensor \(CRNKCSVT\). This DTC may be caused by incorrect PCM programming. To correct the condition, start a new vehicle session and run the PCM Programmable Module Installation \(PMI\). The IDS scan tool will ask to verify the style of the connector on the crankcase vent \(CCV\) hose. Answering this prompt incorrectly will cause DTC P04E3 to be stored in the PCM. A new Technical Support Video has been added to PTS at: http://site\-307934.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/videos/303\-\-\-engine/video/6294017439001/p04e3\-after\-pcm\-reprogramming\-on\-14\-16\-my\-6.7l\-super\-duties.

Some 2018\-2020 F\-150 vehicles built on or before 1\-Apr\-2020 equipped with a 3.0L diesel engine, 2017\-2019 F\-Super Duty vehicles built on or before 30\-Oct\-2019 equipped with a 6.7L engine and 2016\-2019 F\-650/F\-750 vehicles built on or before 30\-Oct\-2019 equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) P21DD, P20BA. P20B9, P204C, P208A, P208B, P208C, P203B, P205B, P21CD and/or U02A2 in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to water intrusion within connectors C3613 and/or C4851/C3610 on the reductant harness going to the reductant pump/heater assembly and the reductant level sensor/quality module. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the reductant tank harness, the reductant pump/heater assembly and/or the reductant tank.
- [SSM 50096](/bulletins/10201580.md), 2021-09-28, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Some 2013\-2016 F\-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit an Exhaust System Fluid Fault message and a forced idle mode with various diagnostic trouble codes \(DTC\) stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\).
