Most concerns at low mileage may be addressed with the accelerated main control break-in routine. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM) Section 307-01 Diagnosis and Testing, DTC Chart and/or Diagnosis By Symptom to identify the clutch(s) to be cycled. This routine cycles the shift solenoids and clutch control valves to remove contamination that may be sticking the valves and must be performed along with an adaptive drive cycle before attempting internal service. For claiming, use causal part 7A100 and applicable labor operations in Section 7 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10187986-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10187986-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10187986","components":[{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_ford_explorer"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-150","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_ford_f-150"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"AVIATOR","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_lincoln_aviator"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
