ISSUE:
Some 2015-2016 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 2.7L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI) engine and built on or before 12/18/2015 may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0420 stored in continuous memory.
ACTION:
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Connect the Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) service tool or equivalent scan tool and check for DTCs. Is DTC P0420 present in continuous memory?
- Yes – proceed to Step 2.
- No – this article does not apply. Refer to Powertrain Control/Emission Diagnosis (PC/ED) for normal diagnosis.
- Replace the right side catalytic converter. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 309-00.
- Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS or Ford J2534 release 98.04 or higher. Make sure you are connected to the internet when entering module programming to obtain the latest updates. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraftservice.com.

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.
