## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [SSM 52389](/bulletins/10252647.md), 2024-04-04, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Some 2022\-2024 F\-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with only diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) U3012 stored in the PCM. If no drivability concerns or other DTCs are present, perform normal diagnostics per the Workshop Manual \(WSM\). If diagnostics lead to the powertrain control module \(PCM\) or body control module \(BCM\), the replacement of the PCM and/or the BCM will not resolve this concern. This illuminated MIL with DTC U3012 does not affect vehicle durability and no additional diagnosis or service is required for this condition at this time. Inform customers that they can continue to drive the vehicle and engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition. Monitor OASIS for additional information and schedule service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available.
- [TSB 23\-2376](/bulletins/10248351.md), 2024-01-05, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); POWER TRAIN. Some 2022 F\-550 and F\-600 F\-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 10R140 automatic transmission and 6.7L diesel engine may exhibit an illuminated powertrain malfunction \(wrench\) indicator with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) P2704 and P0771 stored in the transmission control module \(TCM\) with poor shift quality and over 5,000 miles \(8,000 km\) in service. This may be due to wear between the input shaft and the E clutch hub causing the input shaft O\-rings to become damaged resulting in an open E clutch circuit. To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the E clutch hub and input shaft O\-rings.
- [TSB 23\-2077](/bulletins/10233589.md), 2023-04-04, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE. Some 2022 F\-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) U3012 stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to the software in the PCM. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM and transmission control module \(TCM\).
- [TSB 22\-2450](/bulletins/10226943.md), 2022-12-02, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:INTERNAL:SHAFT:OUTPUT; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Some 2022 F\-Super Duty vehicles built on or before 31\-Jul\-2022 equipped with a 10R140 automatic transmission may exhibit a fluid leak from the selector shaft seal. This may be caused by a crack in the manual shaft. To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the manual shaft, the manual shaft\-to\-sensor roll pin and the selector shaft seal.
- [SSM 50977](/bulletins/10216961.md), 2022-08-02, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); EQUIPMENT; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Some 2021\-2022 F\-Super Duty and 2021\-2023 E\-Series vehicles equipped with a 6.2L or 7.3L gasoline engine may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P0457 stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to a loose fuel filler cap. The fuel filler cap design has changed, requiring multiple turns to seal properly. Advise the customer to turn the fuel filler cap clockwise until there is at least one audible click to seal properly. For further diagnostics, refer to Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 303\-13 \- pinpoint test HX.
- [SSM 50712](/bulletins/10210800.md), 2022-05-03, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. Some 2022 F\-Super Duty four\-wheel drive \(4WD\) pickup vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit a momentary, slight grinding type noise prior to the 4\-3 downshift while coasting without the brakes applied. This condition does not affect vehicle durability. Replacement of the transmission or other components will not resolve this condition and engineering is currently working on a solution which is expected to be available by June 2022. Let the customer know they can continue to drive the vehicle and schedule a follow\-up appointment for June 2022.

- [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 50260](/bulletins/10203854.md), 2021-12-07, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER; POWER TRAIN; POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:LUBRICANT. Some 2020\-2022 F\-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 10R140 automatic transmission may exhibit a delayed engagement into drive and/or reverse on initial start\-up. The condition may occur at times after sitting over night or for a couple of days. This may be due to the transmission fluid draining back from the torque converter. This is a normal characteristic of the 10R140 transmission and has no effect on durability, do not attempt to repair. Advise the customer to allow more time after first engine start\-up and before shifting into gear allowing time for the torque converter to refill.
