| FORD: | 2014 Escape |
ISSUE:
Some 2014 Escape vehicles equipped with a 1.6L EcoBoost engine built on or before 3/1/2014 may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with a transmission overheat condition and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0218, P1783, P0710, P0712, P0706, P0707, P1702 and/or P1921.
A new calibration is available that will prevent a recurrence of the overheat condition.
ACTION:
Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) or Ford J2534 release 89.02 and higher.
Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com.
Follow normal diagnosis and repair procedures for any transmission repairs required. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM).
Service Information & Reprogramming
Software necessary to program electronic modules to the latest calibration level, perform module initialization (PATS), and set Programmable Parameters on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.
Ford Module Programming (FMP) is a software application that allows subscribers to program electronic modules on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. It can be used for:
- Reprogramming emission-related (OBDII) modules on some vehicles manufactured in 1995 and all vehicles manufactured from 1996 to the present
- Reprogramming or reconfiguring non-emission-related modules on many vehicles (UBP and MS-CAN not supported)
In addition, module initialization (PATS) functions such as Keycode Erase/Reprogram and PCM Parameter Reset can be done using this application.
J2534 Device 
using Ford Module Programming (FMP) can Reprogram and Configure most Modules.
