STOPPED ON INCLINE – IN DRIVE OR REVERSE – WITHOUT BRAKE APPLIED – VEHICLE ROLLS – BUILT BEFORE 1/07/2008

FORD:	2008 Edge
LINCOLN:	2008 MKX

2008 Edge and MKX vehicles built before 1/07/2008, it is normal for the vehicle to roll while stopped on a slight incline, with the vehicle in drive or reverse gear and the brakes are not applied.

There is a new calibration that will improve the hold capability on a slight grade and improve the ability to creep in drive and reverse.

Customers should be advised that using the brake is still the best way to avoid rolling on an incline, grade, or hill.

ACTION:

Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS or Ford J2534 release 53.4 and higher.

This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD.

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

NOTE: THIS NEW CALIBRATION WAS IMPLEMENTED IN PRODUCTION ON 1/7/2008 AND THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY VEHICLE BUILT ON OR AFTER THIS DATE.

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.
