2017 Fusion – Slow To Update Fuel Gauge – Erratic Fuel Gauge Reading And/or Distance To Empty Inaccurate After Refueling Built On Or Before 20-Sep-2016

Some 2017 Fusion vehicles built on or before 20-Sep-2016 may exhibit a slow to update fuel gauge, erratic fuel gauge reading, inaccurate distance to empty, and/or a fuel gauge that drops fast after a refueling event, with no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

Reprogram the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) software using IDS software 105.02 or higher.

Follow the IDS on-screen instructions to complete the reprogramming procedure.

After reprograming, perform an as-built configuration of the IPC.

Clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) after programming.

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.
