What is wrong
Issue:
On certain trucks, there may be a problem with the software that controls the daytime running lights (DRLs). If the DRLs are on, and the light switch is moved to the "ON" (low beam) position, the DRLs do not lower to parking light brightness. Canadian regulations require that these lights switch back to parking lamp brightness when the headlights are turned on.
Safety Risk:
Lights that are too bright could cause glare for oncoming drivers.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to update the body control module (BCM) software.

Bulletins for the same vehicles and component
| SSM 47949 | 2019-05-07. Service bulletin. SSM 47949 - 2017-2019 F-Super Duty - LED Headlamps - DTC U2100 Some 2017-2019 F-Super Duty vehicles may exhibit a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) U2100 in the body control module B (BCMB). Vehicles equipped with factory LED headlamps do not require a BCMB to operate the headlamps. If equipped with LED headlamps, the U2100 DTC should be ignored. It will not affect the performance of the LED headlamps or other systems that control exterior and interior lighting. Do not attempt any repairs. |

| SSM 47354 | 2018-07-23. Service bulletin. Some 2017-2018 F-Super Duty pickups may exhibit an instrument panel cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator that flashes fast with no inoperative turn signal lamps after the pickup box has been removed by the upfitter. This may be due to the body control module (BCM) not recognizing the modified lower current turn signal lighting that was installed. To correct this concern, use Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) service tool version 104.04 or later to configure turn lamp outage settings as required. Under toolbox > module programming > programmable parameters > exterior lighting, select rear bulb turn outage and outage ABM and change the setting on each parameter from outage to no outage. Changes to lamp outage settings on pickups as a result of upfitter modifications are non-warrantable. Upfitters are responsible for FMVSS 108 compliance. |
