ISSUE
Some 2011 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine and built on or before 3/14/2011 may exhibit malfunction indicator light (MIL) on with
diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) P0401, P0402, POO9A if driven at highway speeds with a snow plow attached, P164A if idled for extended periods in
colder ambient temperatures, 2-3 transmission shift flares, harsh/inconsistent transmission shifting during transmission fluid warm up and tip-in events
when at low speeds or coming to a stop. Refer to the Calibration Content for additional details.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure to correct the concern
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) and the transmission control module (TCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 71.05 and
higher or 72.01 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2011.3 DVD.
The Calibration Update Contains Improvement Actions And Enhancements:
^
DTC P0401 (exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) flow insufficient detected)
^ DTC P0402 (exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) flow excessive detected)
^ DTC P009A (intake air temperature/ambient air temperature correlation) if driven at highway speeds with a snow plow attached
^ False DTC P164A (02 sensor positive current trim circuit performance (bank 1, sensor 1)) if idled for extended periods in colder ambient temperature
^ 2-3 transmission shift flares
^ Harsh/inconsistent transmission shifting during transmission fluid warm up
^ Improved shift feel for tip-in events when at low speed or coming to a stop
Previously Released Calibration Content
Previously released calibration content included in IDS software release 69.07 and higher contained improvement actions and enhancements to address
the following:
Calibration Content Vehicles Built On Or Before 11/5/2010
^ Delayed manual upshifts from 1st to 2nd gear when in Select Shift mode while going down a grade
^ Harsh/delayed 1-2 upshift and downshift
^ Harsh 2-3 upshift on first drive away of day after vehicle soak
^ DEF warning messages won't reset after refilling DEF tank with Key On Engine Running
^ Modified vehicles for rail applications, that will not re-engage PTO operation or speedometer inoperative after riding on the tracks with the front
wheels off the ground
^ VSOUT signal inoperable from customer access circuits under dash
^ DTC P2463 or P246C (DPF restriction) and DTC P2459 (DPF regeneration frequency) - adds increased ability to perform manual regeneration at
