# Service bulletin SSM 46093

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.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10109073
- Published by NHTSA: 2017\-08\-01
- Manufacturer's number: SSM 46093
- Manufacturer's date: 2016\-09\-26
- NHTSA component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE

## NHTSA's summary

Diesel customers may inquire about a Distance to Empty \(DTE\) warning message for the DEF system. It may be necessary to add up to 2.5 gallons of DEF for the system to detect a refill event and clear the DTE warning messages, however it is recommended to fill the tank to capacity, which may take up to 5 gallons. Driving conditions that increase fuel consumption will increase DEF consumption and will require additional fills between oil change intervals. If the DTE message is displayed and no Diagnostic Trouble Codes \(DTCs\) are present, read the Reduct\_TNK\_LV PID with the Integrated Diagnostic System \(IDS\). If it reads less than 100%, DEF must be added. If the message doesnt clear after the PID reads 100%, run the IDS SCR System Refill Activation routine.

In some of the affected vehicles, the fuel pump control module that powers the fuel pump may fail prematurely. This would most likely occur at engine start, resulting in a malfunction indicator light illumination and an engine no\-start symptom.
- [SSM 49065](/bulletins/10179325.md), 2020-09-04, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL. Some 2011\-2020 F\-Super Duty, 2015\-2019 Transit, 2016\-2021 F\-650/F\-750 and 2018\-2020 F\-150 vehicles equipped with a 6.7L, 3.2L or 3.0L engine may exhibit an illuminated MIL with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) P207F, P20EE, P229F, P2201 and/or P24AE. This may be a result of using aftermarket cleaning liquids or tools for the exhaust gas recirculation \(EGR\) cooler or intake. Ford does not recommend the cleaning of diesel intakes or EGR coolers using any aftermarket tool that injects a cleaning foam or liquid substance into the EGR cooler or intake. Using these types of fluids can result in sodium poisoning of the NOx and particulate matter \(PM\) sensors resulting in degraded operation and permanent damage to the after treatment system. Use of these cleaning tools may void the emissions warranty of the hot end after treatment exhaust system and the attached emissions sensors.
