# Service bulletin 23P18

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.

## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [TSB 23\-2315](/bulletins/10244716.md), 2023-11-02, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Some 2023 Maverick vehicles built on or before 11\-Apr\-2023 and equipped with a 2.5L full hybrid electric vehicle \(FHEV\) powertrain may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P2282. This may be due to the software in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram various modules starting with the PCM.
- [SSM 51921](/bulletins/10243534.md), 2023-10-04, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; UNKNOWN OR OTHER; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Some 2022\-2023 Maverick vehicles equipped with 2.5L full hybrid electric vehicle \(FHEV\) powertrain may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) P2C22, P237C and/or P237D stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to water intrusion in the exhaust heat exchanger.
- [TSB 23\-2248](/bulletins/10240574.md), 2023-08-10, Service bulletin: UNKNOWN OR OTHER; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Some 2022\-2023 Maverick vehicles built on or before 11\-Apr\-2023 and equipped with a 2.5L full hybrid electric vehicle \(FHEV\) powertrain may exhibit a shudder or vibration when the vehicle is braking at 15 mph \(24 km/h\) or below, when the gas engine shuts down and the vehicle is operating in electric mode only. This may be due to the software in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram various modules starting with the PCM.
- [TSB 23\-2209](/bulletins/10238445.md), 2023-07-03, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); POWER TRAIN. Some 2023 Maverick vehicles built on or before 11\-Apr\-2023 and equipped with a 2.5L full hybrid electric vehicle \(FHEV\) powertrain may exhibit a shudder or vibration when the vehicle is braking at 15 mph \(24 km/h\) or below, when the gas engine shuts down and the vehicle is operating in electric mode only. This may be due to the software in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM.
- [TSB 23\-2193](/bulletins/10238286.md), 2023-06-29, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); POWER TRAIN. Some 2023 Maverick vehicles built on or before 11\-Apr\-2023 and equipped with a 2.5L full hybrid electric vehicle \(FHEV\) powertrain may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P2282. This may be due to the software in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram various modules starting with the PCM.
- [SSM 51613](/bulletins/10236032.md), 2023-05-16, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Some 2022\-2023 Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles built on 04\-Sep\-2022 and through 30\-Dec\-2022 may exhibit the engine not restarting after an auto start/stop event with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P164C stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). The malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) may also become illuminated after the vehicle experiences a second event before it can be brought in for service. This may be due to an internal issue with the PCM. To correct the condition, check the battery condition and state of charge, then replace the PCM and re\-evaluate the concern. For claiming, use causal part 12A650 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards \(SLTS\) Manual. If the concern persists, refer to Workshop Manual, Section 303\-14B and perform Pinpoint Test AA for normal diagnostics.
