# Service bulletin TSB 22\-2016

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: 10206847
- Published by NHTSA: 2022\-02\-04
- Manufacturer's number: TSB 22\-2016
- Manufacturer's date: 2022\-01\-28
- NHTSA component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

## NHTSA's summary

Some 2020\-2021 Escape/Corsair vehicles built on or before 10\-Mar\-2021 may exhibit a power liftgate that does not intermittently open when using the hands\-free kicking motion. This may be due to the body control module \(BCM\) and the hands\-free liftgate module. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to reprogram the BCM and replace the hands\-free liftgate module.

## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [TSB 26\-2325](/bulletins/11037978.md), 2026-10-05, Service bulletin: EXTERIOR LIGHTING; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit a front courtesy lamp that is inoperative. This may be due to a concern with the front courtesy lamp light module.
- [26N15](/bulletins/11036550.md), 2026-09-01, Other: UNKNOWN OR OTHER; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Customer Satisfaction Program 26N15 Certain 2020\-2026 Model Year Escape and 2021\-2026 Model Year Corsair Plug\-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles \(PHEV\) – High Voltage Battery Replacement
- [SSM 54720](/bulletins/11031263.md), 2026-04-10, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION. Various 2020\-2026 Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with blind spot information system \(BLIS\) may experience an inoperative blind spot monitoring with a "Blind Spot System Fault" message displayed in the instrument panel cluster \(IPC\). This may also be accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) B118C:11 and/or B118C:15 stored in the driver door module \(DDM\), and/or B118D:11 and/or B118D:15 stored in the passenger door module \(PDM\). This may be due to the wiring connector from the mirror to the BLIS module. If diagnostics lead to an internal mirror wiring harness fault, a new lower level BLIS light pigtail is now released for service. It is not necessary to replace the exterior mirror assembly. Use part number SC3Z\-14A411\-B to resolve the concern.
- [24L10 S1](/bulletins/11030900.md), 2026-04-07, Other: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Certain 2021\-2025 Model Year Corsair Vehicles\- Flat Tow Rating Change On the affected vehicles, documentation in the owner’s manual incorrectly states that 2021 – 2025 Corsair PHEV \(Plug\-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles\) can be recreationally flat towed. You cannot recreationally flat tow these vehicles with all wheels on the ground because damage to the powertrain may occur. All 2023\-2025 model year vehicles will require dealers to perform a software update to the Accessory Protocol Interface Module \(APIM\) to install an updated digital owner’s manual. This action may require updates to other modules on the vehicle to receive the correct software.
- [SSM 54589](/bulletins/11029595.md), 2026-03-04, Other: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2019\-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with SYNC3 may experience various connectivity concerns with The Ford App Lincoln App including but not limited to: missing activation prompt pop\-upon the vehicle's center display screen when attempting to activate vehicle through The Ford App Lincoln App, incorrect location global positioning system GPS reported through The Ford App Lincoln App, problems with remote commands being performed through The Ford App Lincoln App and or incorrect data information reported on The Ford App Lincoln App. These symptoms will be accompanied by diagnostic trouble code DTC B156D 89 in the TCU. This may be due to the accessory protocol interface module APIM software. To correct the condition, update the APIM software.
- [SSM 54615](/bulletins/11029540.md), 2026-03-04, Service bulletin: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN. Some 2020\-2026 Escape and 2021\-2026 Corsair vehicles equipped with a 2.5L engine may exhibit a fuel door that won't open with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P04CA stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to an open circuit on circuit SBB05 and/or a damaged splice S133. Before performing the pinpoint test for P04CA in Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 310\-00, inspect circuit SBB05 and splice S133 for damage such as an open circuit. Repair as necessary. Refer to Wiring Diagram, Cell 005. If no damage is found, refer to WSM, Section 310\-00 for normal diagnostics. For claiming use causal 14290 and labor operations 12650D, 12650D45, and 12650D45WR.
- [SSM 54601](/bulletins/11029052.md), 2026-02-27, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STRUCTURE:BODY; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with wired keyless entry keypad systems and accessory wireless keyless entry keypad systems may or may not come with a wallet card containing the master code. Unlike the integrated wired keypad, the accessory wireless keypad master code cannot be retrieved from the vehicle using a diagnostic scan tool or from the label printed on the body control module \(BCM\). The Factory Keyless Entry Code application within the diagnostic scan tool will not provide an applicable master code for the accessory wireless keypad. If the wallet card for an accessory keypad is not available, the "Wireless RF Keypad Diagnosis Guide" can be referenced and provides direction on how to retrieve the master code. This guide is located under the Workshop Manual tab \> Accessories \> Installation \> Wireless RF Keypad Diagnosis Guide \> PPT C \> Step C2.\<br /\>\<br /\> Note: The only available keypad for some vehicles from the assembly plant is the accessory wireless keyless entry keypad. The integrated wired keypad cannot be installed on vehicles not equipped from the factory with a wired keyless entry k
- [SSM 54555](/bulletins/11028797.md), 2026-02-12, Service bulletin: UNKNOWN OR OTHER; STRUCTURE:BODY; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2020\-2022\-Corsair, 2021\-2023 Nautilus, 2020\-2024 Navigator/Aviator, and 2021\-2024 Mustang Mach\-E vehicles equipped with phone\-as\-a\-key may exhibit various phone\-as\-a\-key concerns with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTC\) U200D:15, U200E:15, U200F:15, B1589:31/49 through B1598:31/49, B1A56:31/49, B1D55:31/49, and/or B15A5:56 stored in the remote function actuator \(RFA\) module. If any of these DTCs are detected during diagnostics, clear the DTCs, reprogram the RFA to the latest software level and start a new Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\) session. Verify that DTCs are no longer present. If only the B1589:31/49 through B1598:31/49, B1A56:31/49, B1D55:31/49, and/or B15A5:56 DTCs return in the RFA after a self\-test, follow normal Workshop Manual \(WSM\) diagnostics in Section 419\-01. Repair as necessary outside of this article. For claiming, use causal part 14G617 and labor operations 12651D and 12651D4.
- [SSM 54530](/bulletins/11028167.md), 2026-02-04, Service bulletin: UNKNOWN OR OTHER; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; SUSPENSION. Some 2021 Escape vehicles built on or before 9\-Feb\-2021 may exhibit a "Tire Mobility" message in the message center. This may be due to the software in the instrument panel cluster \(IPC\). To correct the condition, download and run the "IPC Instrument Panel Cluster \(IPC\) Configuration" application in the Ford Diagnostic and Repair System \(FDRS\) scan tool. If asked if the original module is still installed, answer NO. For claiming, use causal part 10849 and labor operations 12651D and 12651D4.
- [SSM 54366](/bulletins/11025611.md), 2025-11-19, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2015\-2021 Ford and Lincoln vehicles may exhibit an illuminated MIL with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) P0011, P0012, P0014, P0015, P0016, P0017, P0018, P0019, P0021, P0022, P0024 and/or P0025. Pinpoint test HK in the Powertrain Control and Emissions Diagnosis \(PC/ED\) or in Section 303\-14 of the Workshop Manual \(WSM\) has been updated to address this concern.
