F 350 4WD Super Duty V8-6.4L DSL Turbo (2008)
COMMUNICATION MODULE (VCM) BECOMING DISCONNECTED, LOW BATTERIES ON THE IDS OR THE IDS GOING INTO ANY
TYPE OF SLEEP MODE, OR LOW VEHICLE BATTERY VOLTAGE. TO PREVENT VEHICLE BATTERY DISCHARGE DURING
REPROGRAMMING A POWER SUPPLY CHARGER, ROTUNDA NUMBER 162-00043 OR EQUIVALENT, SHOULD BE USED. IF THERE
WAS AN INTERRUPTION DURING REPROGRAMMING, MAKE SURE THE ORIGINAL IDS SESSION THAT WAS CREATED FOR THE
VEHICLE IS NOT DELETED. IF THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE SESSION IS NOT USED OR DELETED BEFORE THE MODULES ARE
COMPLETELY REPROGRAMMED, FURTHER REPROGRAMMING ERRORS CAN OCCUR. THE MODULE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS
NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IT IS CRITICAL THAT MODULE SWAPPING IS NOT PERFORMED FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. TO
REGAIN COMMUNICATION WITH A MODULE THAT HAS BEEN ERASED DURING REPROGRAMMING, RESUME THE ORIGINAL
SESSION ONCE THE IDS IS RE-BOOTED.
Calibration Update Includes:
1. Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration will not initiate at idle or in power take off (PTO) mode. When Drive To Clean Exhaust Filter is
displayed in the message center, PTO and/or stationary elevated idle control (SEIC) must be disengaged / inactive in order to properly clean the
DPF. The vehicle must be driven until the Cleaning Exhaust Filter message is extinguished.
2. Diagnostic and malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) operation improvements for DTCs P0128 P0196, P2002, POO6B, P2563, P0108, P0234, P1260,
U0073, P042E, P042F, P0404, P1335, P041 C, P2457 and P2263 set during key on engine running (KOER) self test.
3. Calibration improvements for DTCs P246C and P2463 only apply to PTO equipped vehicles and vehicles that utilize SEIC.
4. Improved cold start drivability for vehicles operated in temperatures below 32 °F (0 °C).
5. Revised Pressure Control Valve (PCV) / Volume Control Valve (VCV) learning tables for vehicles that exhibit DTCs P0087 and/or P2291 following
replacement of the High Pressure Pump or major fuel system repairs. Reset the PCV/VCV learning tables and fuel injector parameters with IDS
using the clear Fuel Injector parameters.
6. Enhancements for vehicles that exhibit white smoke during diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration at ambient temperatures below 55 °F (13 °C).
7. Improvements to reduce P0544, P2031, P242A, P242B, P2080, P2084 and P117B set on long decelerations after cold start.
8. Resolution for vehicles that exhibit a no crank condition, Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM) continuous timer count down due to Exhaust
Gas Temperature Sensor disconnect while performing system diagnostics or vehicle battery disconnect.
9. IDS tool updates for DPF manual regeneration diagnostic testing referenced in Powertrain Controls/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) Pinpoint Test RB.
