SSM 463802017-03-20. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. SOME 2017 F-SERIES SUPER DUTY PICKUPS EQUIPPED WITH A REAR AUXILIARY POWER POINT MAY REMAIN RUNNING AFTER THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY DIAGNOSTICS, INSPECT THE REAR AUXILIARY POWER POINT FOR ANY AFTERMARKET DEVICES THAT CAN SUPPLY VOLTAGE BACK INTO THE VEHICLE. ITEMS SUCH AS A BATTERY JUMP PACK CAN INDUCE VOLTAGE THAT WILL SIMULATE KEY ON STATUS AND PREVENT THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) FROM SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. IF NO AFTERMARKET DEVICES CAN BE LOCATED, REFER TO WORKSHOP MANUAL (WSM), SECTION 211-05 FOR NORMAL DIAGNOSTICS.
TSB 17-00182017-03-17. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) NOT RECOGNIZING MODIFIED TURN SIGNAL LIGHTING WHICH DRAWS LOWER CURRENT. TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN, USE INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) SERVICE TOOL VERSION 103.03 OR LATER TO CONFIGURE TURN LAMP OUTAGE SETTINGS AS REQUIRED. THESE SETTINGS CAN BE FOUND UNDER TOOLBOX > MODULE PROGRAMMING > PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS > EXTERIOR LIGHTING.
