# Service bulletin SSM 54940

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.

## NHTSA's summary

Some 2021\-2026 F\-150 vehicles may exhibit a U2100:00 diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) for initial configuration incomplete stored in the trailer control module \(TRM\). This may be due to the vehicle having a Ford accessory trailer brake kit installed without being programmed following the included instructions. If the vehicle was built with minor feature code FDDAA and a trailer brake gain switch is present in the stock location in the instrument panel, a Ford Accessory trailer brake kit has been installed on the vehicle. If a Ford Accessory trailer brake kit is present, download and run the "TRM \- Towbar Configuration" application using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\) scan tool. To confirm a vehicle is built with a certain minor feature code, review the build information by double\-clicking the vehicle identification number \(VIN\) in the upper left corner in the Professional Technician System \(PTS\).

- [SSM 54993](/bulletins/11034976.md), 2026-07-13, Service bulletin: SERVICE BRAKES. Some 2025\-2026 F\-150 Raptor vehicles may exhibit increased sensitivity or braking force when applying the brake pedal at slower speeds. To resolve this concern, reprogram the anti\-lock brake system \(ABS\) module using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\). For claiming, use causal part 2005 and labor operations 2219D and ABS.
- [ITRM\-26.B04 F\-150 Lightni](/bulletins/11033812.md), 2026-06-13, Over\-the\-air update: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; UNKNOWN OR OTHER; SERVICE BRAKES; EXTERIOR LIGHTING. 26C10 Recall remedy \-Addresses instances where the trailer lights and trailer brakes may not function

- [SSM 54733](/bulletins/11031298.md), 2026-04-14, Service bulletin: SERVICE BRAKES. Some 2025\-2026 Bronco/Expedition/Navigator/F\-150/Ranger vehicles may exhibit a "Check Brake System" message in the instrument panel cluster \(IPC\) and/or an illuminated anti\-lock brake system \(ABS\) indicator with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) C0563 stored in the ABS module. This may be due to air still trapped in the system after prior bleeding attempts and/or brake service mode being enabled. The applicable pinpoint test \(PPT\) in Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 206\-09 has been updated to improve diagnostics for this concern. Make sure the latest software version of Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\) is being used when performing the brake system pressure bleeding routine.
- [ABS\-25.8.3 F\-150BEV](/bulletins/11029604.md), 2026-03-04, Over\-the\-air update: SERVICE BRAKES. "25S77 Recall remedy: \-Addresses a potential loss of brake boost while driving. Hydraulic braking assist will still be available"
- [SSM 54401](/bulletins/11025819.md), 2025-12-01, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; SERVICE BRAKES. Some 2021\-2025 F\-150 vehicles may exhibit a stuck in park condition with no diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\). This may be due to connector C211 pin push out on circuit CCB61 or an open on circuit CCB61 between the antilock brake system \(ABS\) module and the body control module \(BCM\). Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 307\-05 Automatic Transmission External Controls \> Diagnosis and Testing \> External Controls \- Pinpoint Test for "Stuck In Park" has been updated with improved diagnostics. Refer to revised WSM sections for normal diagnosis.

- [SSM 54250](/bulletins/11023567.md), 2025-10-02, Service bulletin: SERVICE BRAKES; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2024\-2025 Escape Hybrid/Maverick Hybrid/Nautilus Hybrid/F\-150 non\-Lightning/F\-Super Duty/Bronco and 2025 Expedition/Navigator/Ranger vehicles where customers have installed an aftermarket supplemental braking system may experience a discharged 12\-volt battery after recreational towing. This may be due to the supplemental braking system keeping the vehicle awake during brake applications. Advise customers that while recreational towing the vehicle with a supplemental braking system installed, it is recommended to use a 12\-volt battery charger connected to a power source external to the vehicle being towed. The Owners Manual is in process of being updated with this information.
