WARNING:
This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and

A hesitation on deceleration sometimes described as "trailer hitching" may be caused by a yellow dot MAP sensor. This concern can be serviced by
installing a non "yellow dot" MAP sensor.
1.
Perform a Quick Test and verify no other problems exist with the engine system and service as required.
2.
If the drive concern persists, replace the MAP sensor with MAP sensor E5SZ-9F479-A. Do not use a "yellow dot" MAP sensor on the above
vehicles. The use of a yellow dot sensor may cause trailer hitching.
