# Service bulletin SSM 52230

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: 10250299
- Published by NHTSA: 2024\-02\-14

## NHTSA's summary

2023 F\-150/Escape/Explorer/Maverick vehicles equipped with a full hybrid electric vehicle \(FHEV\) powertrain may exhibit diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) P0A7D and/or P0DE6 and the vehicle identification number \(VIN\) is not recognized by the Midtronics xRC\-3363 High Voltage Battery Rescue Charger. This may be due to the software level of the Midtronics xRC\-3363 High Voltage Battery Rescue Charger. To correct this condition, update the Midtronics xRC\-3363 High Voltage Battery Rescue Charger to the latest software level by navigating to the Main Menu \> Settings \> About \(i\) then selecting the download button in the bottom right corner of the tool's screen.

## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [SSM 55221](/bulletins/11038438.md), 2026-10-12, Service bulletin: UNKNOWN OR OTHER; POWER TRAIN; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. For 20222026 vehicles equipped with a 8F35 transmission, a revision to the Road Testing Vehicle procedure has been made in the WSM, Section 307\-01 \> Diagnosis and Testing. This updated procedure improves the diagnosis of customer reported transmission concerns and aids in locating the proper root cause. During diagnosis and testing, details regarding whether the condition is more prevalent when the vehicle is hot or cold, throttle percentage at the time of occurrence, vehicle speed, the specific shift involved, and whether the issue occurs during transmission engagements \(N\>R, N\>D, R\>D, and/or D\>R\) should be noted in the warranty claim. Engineering requests including these detailed operating conditions that will significantly assist with root cause analysis. Diagnosis, testing, and repair should use established labor times outside this article.
- [SSM 55215](/bulletins/11037783.md), 2026-10-02, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; SERVICE BRAKES; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Some 2022\-2024 Maverick hybrid vehicles may exhibit various electrical symptoms and/or a no crank/no start condition related to an intermittent 12V battery drain that has discharged the 12V battery. This may be due to the software in the anti\-lock brake system \(ABS\) module. To correct this condition, download and run the "ABS \- Anti\-lock Brake System \(ABS\) Module Software Update" and "ACCM \- Air Conditioning Control Module \(ACCM\) Software Update" applications using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\) scan tool. For claiming use causal part 2005 and labor operations 10654C and 12651D along with MT2005SSM up to 0.7 hours for the ABS, ACCM, PCM, and SOBDMC as needed.

- [TSB 26\-2428](/bulletins/11037776.md), 2026-10-02, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM; UNKNOWN OR OTHER; POWER TRAIN. This bulletin supersedes 25\-2326. Reason for update: update the service procedure to include the fuel tank isolation valve replacement, update the causal part number, and increase the labor time allowance to include the fuel tank isolation valve replacement. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P2450 stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to the software in the PCM and/or the fuel tank isolation valve.

- [SSM 55157](/bulletins/11037313.md), 2026-09-15, Service bulletin: UNKNOWN OR OTHER; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ENGINE. Some 2022\-2024 Maverick Hybrid vehicles may exhibit an intermittent vibration and/or crunching noise after a cold start while the engine is running with the vehicle stationary in drive with no throttle input and brakes applied. An intermittent engine rocking or rolling motion in one direction may also be observed while the concern is present with the hood open.\<br /\>\<br /\> The noise may be present with no drivability concerns, relevant diagnostic trouble codes \(DTC\) stored, warning indicators illuminated and/or warning messages displayed. The noise may reduce or be eliminated after several minutes of driving when the powertrain warms up.\<br /\>\<br /\> 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 Q4 of 2026. Replacement of the engine or transmission will not resolve this condition. Monitor Professional Technician System \(PTS\) for additional information and schedule s
- [TSB 26\-2414](/bulletins/11037311.md), 2026-09-14, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; UNKNOWN OR OTHER; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. This article supersedes 26\-2058 Reason for update: update the TSB title and TSB issue to include new DTCs Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit all of the following conditions: \* Intermittent or permanent no reverse \(R\) engagement \* Illuminated MIL with DTC P0767 or P0765:7E stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\) In addition to the required conditions, the vehicle may also exhibit a harsh reverse engagement, P0766, P0765:7F, P0736 and/or P2703 stored in the PCM. This may be due to an internal mechanical concern with the selectable one\-way clutch \(SOWC\).
