# Service bulletin TSB 19\-2212

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: 10163568
- Published by NHTSA: 2019\-08\-07
- Manufacturer's number: TSB 19\-2212
- Manufacturer's date: 2019\-07\-03
- NHTSA component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

## NHTSA's summary

Some 2018\-2019 Explorer/Flex/Taurus/MKT vehicles equipped with a 3.5L EcoBoost engine may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\), powertrain malfunction \(wrench\) lamp, Service AdvanceTrac message, Hill Start Assist Not Available message, and/or lack of power with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) P0107, P0108 and/or P0109 present. This may be due to a faulty manifold absolute pressure and temperature \(MAPT\) sensor. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the MAPT sensor.

- [SSM 52335](/bulletins/10251952.md), 2024-03-20, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. For 2015\-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines and customer concern of an engine oil leak, refer to Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 303\-00 for oil leak inspection and testing methods. Ford has evaluated turbochargers replaced for oil leak symptoms and although oil may collect on the external surface of a turbocharger, it is extremely rare for a turbocharger assembly to be the root cause of the oil leak. Careful inspection of the turbocharger oil feed and drain tubes should be performed along with the recommended WSM procedures as needed. Warranty claims for turbocharger replacement going forward will be assessed.

- [21N01](/bulletins/10201085.md), 2021-09-05, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. This program provides a no\-cost, one\-time repair \(if needed\) to the high\-speed cooling fan relay and respective electrical terminals, if affected, to ten \(10\) years of service or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date of the vehicle, whichever occurs first.
- [21B05](/bulletins/10201080.md), 2021-09-05, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. After extended idling, the high\-speed cooling fan relay may fail in some of the affected vehicles. A failure will cause the fan to either continuously run or never turn on. A continuously running fan will increase the temperature of the relay’s connections \(terminals\) to beyond their design maximum. This may eventually create an electrical arc which heats and damages the relay terminals. Customers may experience a drained battery and a non\-functional or even a melted/burned high\-speed cooling fan relay inside the battery junction box \(BJB\). A damaged non\-functional relay causing the fan to never turn on, may lead to engine overheating at idle.
- [SSM 49924](/bulletins/10199497.md), 2021-08-02, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP. Some 2019 MKC, 2019\-2021 Edge/Nautilus/Escape/Ranger/Explorer, 2020\-2021 Corsair, and 2021 Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with 2.0L and 2.3L EcoBoost engines may exhibit a light to moderate ticking type noise at idle \(600\-700 RPM\). The noise is usually more prominent in the area of the high\-pressure fuel pump, located on the top of the engine just behind the number 4 ignition coil. This noise is not detrimental to engine function and has no short or long\-term effects on engine durability. This an operating characteristic of these engines and no repairs should be attempted.
- [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.
- [TSB 20\-2271](/bulletins/10184634.md), 2021-01-05, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. Some 2015\-2019 MKC and 2016\-2019 Explorer vehicles equipped with a 2.3L engine may exhibit a vibration/rough idle when the vehicle is in DRIVE or REVERSE. The vehicle may also exhibit a lack of engine revolutions per minute \(RPM\), lack of acceleration on take off and/or shudder while driving. This may be due to the torque converter overheating causing damage to the torque converter as well as possible internal damage to the transmission. To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the torque converter and specified internal transmission components that may have been damaged.
- [SSM 49328](/bulletins/10183569.md), 2020-12-04, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP; EQUIPMENT. Some 2019 MKC, 2019\-2020 Edge/Nautilus/Escape/Ranger, 2020 Corsair, 2019\-2021 Explorer vehicles equipped with 2.0L and 2.3L EcoBoost engines may exhibit a light to moderate ticking type noise at idle \(600\-700 RPM\). The noise is usually more prominent in the area of the high\-pressure fuel pump, located on the top of the engine just behind the number 4 ignition coil. This noise is not detrimental to engine function and has no short or long\-term effects on engine durability. This an operating characteristic of these engines and no repairs should be attempted.
