FORD FOCUS 2016-2017

 


PROGRAM TERMS  

This program will be in effect through November 30, 2017.  There is no mileage limit for this program.

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates
Focus RS 2016-2017 Saarlouis August 3, 2015 through September 26, 2016

 

REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM

High performance vehicles can be driven in such a way that may lead to higher engine oil consumption (this includes extended time at higher engine speeds, especially high loads, hard engine braking, aggressive cornering maneuvers, and track use).  When subjected to these driving styles, it is possible to experience a low engine oil level condition.  Continued high performance driving during this low engine oil level condition may lead to internal engine damage.

 

SERVICE ACTION

Dealers are to reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) using Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) release 102.02 or higher.  The new PCM program will more accurately predict oil change intervals under performance driving conditions as outlined above.  This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.  Additionally, an addendum to the owner’s manual supplement, recommending the owner conduct more frequent engine oil level checks, will be included with the owner letter mailing.  The addendum is to be inserted in the owner’s manual.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of November 14, 2016.  Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

 

SOLD VEHICLES

  • Owners of affected vehicles will be directed to dealers for repairs.
  • Immediately contact any of your affected customers whose vehicles are not on your VIN list but are identified in OASIS. Give the customer a copy of the Owner Notification Letter (when available) and schedule a service date.
  • Correct other affected vehicles identified in OASIS which are brought to your dealership.  
  • Dealers are to prioritize repairs of customer vehicles over repairs of new and used vehicle inventory.

 

STOCK VEHICLES

  • Correct all affected units in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
  • Use OASIS to identify any affected vehicles in your used vehicle inventory.

 

TITLE BRANDED / SALVAGED VEHICLES

Affected title branded and salvaged vehicles are eligible for this service action.

 

OWNER REFUNDS    

Refunds are not approved for this program.

 

RENTAL VEHICLES

The use of rental vehicles is not approved for this program.

 

PARTS REQUIREMENTS / ORDERING INFORMATION

Parts are not required to complete this repair.

 


CERTAIN 2016-2017 MODEL YEAR FOCUS RS VEHICLES — POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING

 

OVERVIEW

In some of the affected vehicles, when subjected to high performance driving conditions (this includes extended time at higher engine speeds, high loads, engine braking, hard cornering maneuvers, and track use), it is possible the engine may experience a low oil level condition due to increased oil consumption. Continued high performance driving with low engine oil level may lead to internal engine damage or catastrophic engine failure. Dealers are to reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) using Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) release 102.02 or higher. The new PCM program will more accurately predict oil change intervals under performance driving conditions as outlined above.
Additionally, an addendum to the owner’s manual supplement, recommending the owner conduct more frequent engine oil level checks, will be included with the owner letter mailing. The addendum is to be inserted in the owner’s manual, page 336.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Module Reprogramming

NOTE: Reprogram appropriate vehicle modules before performing diagnostics and clear all DTCs after programming. For DTCs generated after reprogramming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures.

  1. Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery.
  2. Reprogram the PCM using IDS release 102.02 or higher.

NOTE: Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraftservice.com.

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

  1. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the reprogramming has completed.
  2.  Add Owner’s Manual Supplement Addendum to Owner’s Manual, at page 336, Protecting Your Investment.

NOTE: For stock units, print the addendum from PTS.

 

Important Information for Module Programming

NOTE: When programming or reprogramming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors.

  • Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect IDS/scan tool to a power source.
  • Inspect Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming.
  • A hardwired connection is strongly recommended.
  • Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors.
  • Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio, etc.).
  • Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully.
  • Disable IDS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes.
  • Create all sessions key on engine off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process.

 

Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module:
NEVER DELETE THE ORIGINAL SESSION!

a. Obtain the original IDS that was used when the programming error occurred during module reprogramming (MR) or programmable module installation (PMI).

b. Disconnect the VCM from the data link connector (DLC) and the IDS.

c. Reconnect the VCM to IDS and then connect to the DLC. Once reconnected, the VCM icon should appear in the corner of the IDS screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the IDS to VCM connection.

d. Locate the original vehicle session when programming failed. This should be the last session used in most cases. If not, use the session created on the date that the programming failed.

NOTE: If the original session is not listed in the previous session list, click the Recycle Bin icon at the lower right of the previous session screen. This loads any deleted sessions and allows you to look through them. Double-click the session to restore it.

e. Once the session is loaded, the failed process should resume automatically.

f. If programming does not resume automatically, proceed to the Module Programming menu and select the previously attempted process, PMI or MR.

g. Follow all on-screen prompts/instructions.

h. The last screen on the IDS may list additional steps required to complete the programming process.
Make sure all applicable steps listed on the screen are followed in order.
