- [SSM 55098](/bulletins/11036338.md), 2026-08-25, Service bulletin: UNKNOWN OR OTHER; POWER TRAIN; ENGINE. Some 2013\-2016 Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine and 2015\-2019 Transit vehicles equipped with a 3.2L diesel engine may not pass a state smog test due to the exhaust gas system \(EGS\) monitor that will not run after completing the exhaust gas sensor drive cycle located within Section 2 of the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnostics \(PC/ED\) Manual \> Drive Cycles. This may be due to the vehicles diesel oxidation catalyst \(DOC\) age counter being under the 120\-minute age requirement. There is an all\-new "PCM Catalytic Converter Age Evaluation" application within the latest version of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\). Use this new FDRS application to determine the age \(in minutes\) of the DOC. If the age is less than 120 minutes, perform manual regenerations to increase the catalyst age counter to satisfy the monitor age requirement. If further assistance is needed, contact the technical assistance center \(TAC\). Note: this article only applies to the EGS monitor. Problems with other vehicle monitors not running successfully must be addressed using normal diagnostics located i
