## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [TSB 23\-2350](/bulletins/10245418.md), 2023-11-22, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE. Some 2017\-2020 F\-150, 2018\-2021 Expedition/Navigator/Mustang, 2019\-2023 Ranger vehicles equipped with a 10R80 transmission may exhibit a harsh/delayed engagement and/or harsh/delayed shift, an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble codes This may be due to the software in the powertrain control module \(PCM\) or transmission control module \(TCM\), the transmission solenoid ID strategy, sticking valves in the main control valve body and/or axial movement of the CDF clutch cylinder \(7H351\) sleeve. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to identify and correct the condition.
- [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. 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.
- [TSB 21\-2452](/bulletins/10205718.md), 2022-01-01, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Some 2020\-2021 Aviator vehicles equipped with a 3.0L PHEV powertrain may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) U0100, P1A42 and/or P1A43 stored in battery energy control module \(BECM\). This may be due to software in the PCM. To correct the condition, follow the service procedure to perform a coordinated flash on the powertrain control module \(PCM\), secondary on\-board diagnostic module c \(SOBDMC\), anti\-lock braking system \(ABS\) module, BECM, and battery charger control module \(BCCM\).
- [21N08](/bulletins/10202720.md), 2021-11-02, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE; ENGINE. Certain 2017\-2020 Model Year F\-150, 2018\-2020 Expedition, and 2018\-2020 Navigator Vehicles Equipped with a 3.5L GTDI Engine PCM Reprogram Due to Engine Shudder; Owner Letter sent
- [TSB 21\-2368](/bulletins/10202714.md), 2021-11-02, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Some 2017 F\-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with only diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) P00BD, P012F, P0181, P0474, P124C, P1247, P20EE, P205B, P2263, P2269, P2459, and/or P259F stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to various strategies within the PCM software. To resolve this condition, update the PCM software and perform a diesel particulate filter \(DPF\) manual regeneration and, if necessary, a DPF parameter reset according to the Service Procedure.
- [SSM 50174](/bulletins/10202616.md), 2021-10-29, Service bulletin: ENGINE; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Some 2017\-2019 F\-Super Duty vehicles may experience an intermittent no crank condition. Diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P06E9 may also be set in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to corrosion being present on the run start relay in the battery junction box \(BJB\). Inspect the run start relay for signs of corrosion, including along the terminal edges, prior to performing Workshop Manual \(WSM\) diagnostics. If corrosion is found, replace the run start relay with new service part, MU5Z\-14N089\-A. If no corrosion is found on the run start relay, refer to WSM, Section 303\-06 for normal diagnostics.
