SSM 526542024-07-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2023-2024 Transit vehicles equipped with a park aid module (PAM) may erroneously exhibit a Not Responding message in FDRS due to the PAM not being assigned to the correct network. Prior to diagnosing, verify the vehicle is equipped with a PAM. Units with 360 degree camera do not have a PAM. For units with SYNC 4, the PAM communicates on high speed channel 2 (HS2). For units without SYNC 4, the PAM communicates on high speed channel 1 (HS1).
SSM 526532024-07-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2023-2024 Transit vehicles may experience an inoperative driver or passenger power window. In these vehicles, the power window motor is equipped with thermal protection against current increase or excessive operation of the switch. Once the protection is activated, the power window motor will automatically reset after approximately 20 seconds of window motor rest time. Before performing any diagnostic or repair, allow any inoperative window to rest for over 20 seconds and then retest its operation. The Workshop Manual (WSM) pinpoint test has been updated to reflect the thermal protection feature is present in this system.

During vehicle delivery, the card should be handed to the vehicle's owner. Unlike the integrated (wired) factory keypad, the accessory keypad master code cannot be retrieved from the vehicle using a diagnostic scan tool. If the wallet card for an accessory keypad is lost, follow these steps to recover the code. Dealer Key Code access is granted through the Dealer Program Enrollment System (DPES); dealership management can authorize users.
TSB 24-21762024-06-07. Service bulletin. UNKNOWN OR OTHER. This article supersedes TSBs 24-2100 and 24-2070 to add 2023 F-150 vehicles, update the TSB Issue statement and the TSB Service Procedure.

This may be due to the software in the powertrain control module (PCM) or transmission control module (TCM), the transmission solenoid ID strategy, sticking valves in the main control valve body and/or axial movement of the CDF clutch cylinder (7H351) sleeve. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to identify and correct the condition.
SSM 525742024-06-06. Service bulletin. UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Some vehicles equipped with SYNC4 may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms after all currently available accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software updates have been performed. - General system performance, stability, and intermittent system reboots. - Intermittent Wireless CarPlay or Android Auto function. - Phone related concerns with intermittent No Audio or Static. - Navigation/global positioning system (GPS) related concerns through CarPlay and Android Auto. - Alexa function consistency and stability. These symptoms may be due to the software in the APIM. Replacing the APIM will not resolve these symptoms for the customer. Before returning the vehicle to the customer, review the procedures within Workshop Manual, Section 415-00 and ensure the latest APIM software is installed. Refer to General Service Bulletin (GSB) 23-7146 for help determining the latest available level of software. IMPORTANT: some module software updates will only display as available on Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) after prerequisite modules are updated. This may require the technician to update certain modules multiple times during the service visit, before the latest APIM software is accessible in FDRS. If symptoms continue after latest APIM software has been installed, inform customers that Ford is working on additional software enhancements which are expected to be delivered over-the-air (OTA) by Q4 2024 on F-150, F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, Mustang, Escape, Corsair, Expedition, Navigator, Bronco, Mustang, and 2023-2024 F-Super Duty. Software will update automatically if vehicle connectivity is enabled in the vehicle's settings. For all other vehicles with SYNC4, schedule a service visit for customers in October 2024, when the updated APIM software is expected to be available to dealers. Monitor OASIS for additional information.
