17-22372018-01-29. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ENGINE; FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL. Some 2016 F-Super Duty/F-650/750 vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine or 2016 Transit vehicles equipped with a 3.2L diesel engine may exhibit an illuminated MIL with DTCs P24AE, P24B1, P24DA, P24C6 and/or P24C7 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SSM 460852017-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE); ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OTHER FUEL TYPES:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:HOSES/LINES/PIPING/FITTINGS; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY; ENGINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CRANKCASE (PCV); ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN. The Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual has been revised for diagnosing electronic throttle bodies (ETBs). The ETC_ACT and ETC_DSD PIDs should not used to diagnose possible ETB concerns. The IDS has a limited refresh rate when reading these PIDs and cannot display quickly enough to validate a concern. The PCM automatically monitors these inputs more accurately and will set diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) when appropriate. Using these PIDs for diagnostics will lead to inaccurate results and improper ETB replacements. If a concern is intermittent and no DTCs are present, refer to historical DTCs and the PC/ED, Section 3 No DTCs Present Index chart for further information.
SSM 465102017-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL; FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL. Some 2017 F-Super Duty and 2016-2017 F650/F750 vehicles equipped with 6.7L engine may exhibit an inaccurate diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) level indicator or warning message with or without an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P203B. This concern may be due to intermittent loss of signal from the reductant level sensor that is integrated into the reductant tank. If the applicable pinpoint test in the powertrain control/emission diagnostic (PC/ED) or workshop manual (WSM) directs replacement of the integrated reductant level sensor, do not attempt any repairs at this time and release the vehicle. Engineering is currently investigating this concern, monitor OASIS for updates regarding latest information and diagnostic direction.
SSM 464162017-03-20. Service bulletin. ENGINE; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM). SOME 2017 F-SUPER DUTY AND 2016-2017 F-650/F-750 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6.7L ENGINE MAY EXHIBIT A DTC P0000. THIS DTC IS DUE TO A PROCESSING ERROR IN THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) AS A RESULT OF ON DEMAND SELF TESTING WITH AN INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS). P0000 IS AN INVALID DTC THAT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE THE MIL AND SHOULD BE DISREGARDED.
SSM 464072017-03-20. Service bulletin. ENGINE. SOME 2011-2017 F-SUPER DUTY 6.7L DIESEL EQUIPPED VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A TICKING NOISE AT IDLE AFTER AN ENGINE OIL CHANGE. IT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS TYPEWRITER NOISE BECAUSE OF ITS SIMILARITY TO THE SOUND OF A MECHANICAL TYPEWRITER. WHEN ENGINE TEMPERATURES REACH 150 ŒF (65 ŒC) OR HIGHER, (FROM ENGINE IDLE UP TO APPROXIMATELY 1700 RPM'S), THIS NOISE CAN TYPICALLY BE HEARD AT THE FRONT WHEEL WELL AND IS OFTEN ISOLATED TO THE TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING OR OIL PAN AREA. TYPEWRITER NOISE IS NOT DETRIMENTAL TO ENGINE FUNCTION OR DURABILITY AND HAS NO SHORT OR LONG TERM EFFECTS ON THE ENGINE. DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS TO ELIMINATE THIS NOISE. THIS NOISE IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 6.7L DIESEL ENGINE AND WILL TYPICALLY CEASE OR DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY WITHIN THE OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE INTERVAL.
SSM 462952017-03-15. Service bulletin. ENGINE. TO HELP DIFFERENTIATE ENGINE OIL LEAKS FROM OTHER POSSIBLE SOURCES, A NEW WHITE-COLORED FLUORESCENT ENGINE OIL DYE IS AVAILABLE. WORKSHOP MANUAL (WSM), SECTION 303-00 HAS BEEN REVISED TO REFERENCE THE NEW WHITE-COLORED DYE. THE NEW WHITE FLUORESCENT DYE PROVIDES A DISTINCT WHITE GLOW TO IDENTIFY ENGINE OIL LEAKS. THE NEW WHITE FLUORESCENT DYE REQUIRES A PURE UV DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTION LAMP. THE WHITE-COLORED FLUORESCENT DYE AND PURE UV LAMP ARE NOW IN THE ROTUNDA CATALOG. DYE AND LAMP PART NUMBERS. GASOLINE ONLY DYE: 1 OUNCE BOTTLE 164-TP-33200601. DIESEL ONLY DYE: 8 OUNCE BOTTLE: 164-TP-3320-0008. PURE UV DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTION LAMP 164-TP8695 OR 164-R3748.
SSM 460272017-02-23. Service bulletin. ENGINE. FOR 2015-2016 F-SERIES SUPER DUTY PICKUP (EXCLUDES CHASSIS CAB) AND 2016 F650/750 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6.7L DIESEL ENGINE AND BUILT ON OR AFTER 2/1/2016, THE TURBOCHARGER DESIGN HAS CHANGED AND THE OIL SUPPLY TUBE IS NO LONGER PRESENT OR REQUIRED. THE REVISED TURBOCHARGER NOW USES AN INTERNAL PASSAGE TO SUPPLY ENGINE OIL TO THE ASSEMBLY. IF REPLACING A TURBOCHARGER CURRENTLY EQUIPPED WITH AN OIL SUPPLY TUBE, THE REPLACEMENT PART MAY BE THE REVISED TURBOCHARGER WITH AN INTERNAL LUBRICATION PASSAGE. IF THE REPLACEMENT TURBOCHARGER IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH AN EXTERNAL OIL SUPPLY TUBE PORT, IT IS NECESSARY TO INSTALL THE REVISED TURBOCHARGER PEDESTAL (HC3Z-6N639-A), TURBOCHARGER FILTER (HC3Z-6C683-A) AND GASKET (HC3Z-6587-A) TO INSURE PROPER OPERATION.
SSM 460102017-02-22. Service bulletin. ENGINE. SOME 2015-2017 F-650/750 VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT OIL RESIDUE ON OR AROUND THE FRONT HUB BEARING CAPS. THE CAP INCLUDES EITHER A BLUE OR RED PURGE VALVE. LIGHT RESIDUE FROM THE VALVE IS NORMAL AND DOES NOT INDICATE A BEARING CAP OR GASKET CONCERN. EXCESSIVE WETNESS OR LEAKING FROM THE BLUE OR RED PURGE VALVE WILL OCCUR IF THE HUB HAS BEEN OVERFILLED DURING A PREVIOUS SERVICE OR REPAIR. THE CORRECT FILL QUANTITY AND PROCEDURE IS PROVIDED WITHIN THE WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE. REFER TO WORKSHOP MANUAL (WSM), SECTION 204-01.
SSM 459792017-02-21. Service bulletin. ENGINE. 2015-2017 - F-SUPER DUTY, F-650/750 WITH 6.7L DIESEL AND 2015-2017 TRANSIT - 3.2L DIESEL EQUIPPED VEHICLES USE A SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR) SYSTEM DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE VEHICLES EXHAUST EMISSIONS. THE DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF) TANK IS FILLED TO SPECIFICATION AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. DEALERS ARE NOT INSTRUCTED TO CHECK OR TOP OFF THE DEF FLUID ON THE PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI) SERVICE RECORD (CHECK SHEET) AND ARE THEREFORE NOT AUTHORIZED TO TOP-OFF THE TANKS DURING PDI. THE VEHICLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MESSAGE CENTER IS DESIGNED TO INDICATE WHEN THE DEF IS LOW (EXHAUST FLUID LOW OR EXHAUST FLUID EMPTY). THE SCR SYSTEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR REPAIR AT PDI ONLY IF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MESSAGE CENTER INDICATES THAT THERE IS DEF SYSTEM FAULT OR LOW FLUID LEVEL.
SSM 459602017-02-21. Service bulletin. ENGINE. SOME 2016 F-650/750 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6.7L DIESEL ENGINE MAY EXHIBIT INCORRECT DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID GAUGE INDICATION. IF THERE ARE NO DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID LEVEL RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) IN THE PCM OR THE IPC, RUN THE INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR) SYSTEM REFILL ACTIVATION ROUTINE. IF PERFORMING IDS SCR SYSTEM REFILL ACTIVATION ROUTINE DOES NOT RESOLVE THE CONCERN, DO NOT ATTEMPT FURTHER REPAIRS. ENGINEERING IS INVESTIGATING. MONITOR OASIS FOR FUTURE UPDATES.
