5.4L 3V / 4R75E ONLY – BUILT BETWEEN 12/4/2006 TO 5/20/2008 – ENGINE RPM FLARE DURING 3-4 UPSHIFT UNDER LIGHT THROTTLE ONLY

FORD:	2007-2008 F-150
LINCOLN:	2007-2008 Mark LT

2007-2008 F-150 and Mark LT vehicles built between 12/4/2006 to 5/20/2008 and equipped with a 5.4L 3V and 4R75E, may exhibit an engine RPM flare during light acceleration during the 3-4 upshift.

This would only occur at road speed ranges from 25-30 MPH (40-48 Km/h).

No DTCs or other drivability or transmission issues would be present.

ACTION:

Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS or Ford J2534 release 54.5 and higher.

This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.3 DVD.

Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.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.
