# Service bulletin SSM 51776

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: 10239098
- Published by NHTSA: 2023\-07\-12
- Manufacturer's number: SSM 51776

- NHTSA component: EQUIPMENT; BACK OVER PREVENTION: CAMERA SYSTEM

## NHTSA's summary

Some 2021\-2023 Mustang Mach\-E/F\-150, 2022\-2023 Expedition/Navigator and 2023 Corsair vehicles may exhibit a Driver Monitoring Camera Blocked message and/or DTCs B115E:97, B15E1:97 and/or B15E2:97 stored in the driver status monitor camera module \(CMR\). These DTCs should be disregarded unless it is a DTC with a status byte 8F. Other status bytes should be disregarded as they may be caused by a camera obstruction such as driver position, aftermarket devices or dust on the camera. To clear the DTCs, remove anything obstructing the view of the camera and light emitting diodes \(LEDs\), place the steering wheel in the center position and close the driver door. Connect Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\) and clear the DTCs. Turn the ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Turn the ignition on and wait 1 minute. Perform the CMR self\-test and reevaluate if DTCs persist.

## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [TSB 26\-2199](/bulletins/11032261.md), 2026-05-05, Service bulletin: BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; UNKNOWN OR OTHER; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS. This article supersedes TSB 26\-2021. Reason for update: to clarify prior approval requirements in the Service Procedure. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) C1001:31, U3000:89, and/or U3000:49 stored in the image processing module A \(IPMA\) and at least one of the following conditions: "Front Camera Fault Service Required" message Pre\-collision assist inoperative Adaptive cruise control inoperative Front windshield camera alignment routine fails to complete This may be due to the coaxial cable between the IPMA camera and the IPMA.
- [TSB 25\-2479](/bulletins/11025527.md), 2025-11-13, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING; LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION. This article supersedes TSB 25\-2249 to update the Service Procedure. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit a "Pre\-Collision Assist Not Available" message in the IPC and at least one of the following conditions: Various driver assistance feature warning messages in the instrument panel cluster \(IPC\): \- "Blind Spot System Fault" \- "Cross\-Traffic System Fault" \- "Front Camera Fault \- Service Required" Various data or lost communication diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) stored in various modules Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\) scan tool cannot establish connectivity with the image processing module A \(IPMA\) during a self\-test. This may be due to the software installed in the IPMA. \*\*\* MODEL SECTION \*\*\*\* 2023\-2026 Escape equipped with minor feature code: DBCAB or DBCAA 2023\-2026 Corsair equipped with minor feature code: DBCBC
- [SSM 54246](/bulletins/11023560.md), 2025-10-02, Service bulletin: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS. A small percentage of 2023\-2025 Escape/Corsair vehicles may exhibit a "Pre\-Collision Assist Not Available" warning message displayed in the instrument panel cluster \(IPC\) along with other various driver assistance feature warning messages and various invalid data/lost communication diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) stored in various modules after Technical Service Bulletin \(TSB\) 25\-2249 has been performed. The reoccurrence of these symptoms is related to a different root cause. This condition 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 that is expected in late October 2025. Replacement of the image processing module A \(IPMA\) will not resolve this condition. Monitor Professional Technician System \(PTS\) for additional information and schedule service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available.
- [TSB 24\-2087](/bulletins/10252665.md), 2024-04-04, Service bulletin: BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA. Some 2022\-2023 Mustang Mach\-E vehicles which recently received a software update delivered over\-the\-air \(OTA\) may exhibit an inoperative BlueCruise and lane centering with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) U2018:51 stored in the camera module \- rear \(CMR\) and U0565:86 stored in the image processing module A \(IPMA\). This may be due to the software level of the CMR. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the CMR module using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\).
