February 7, 2017

TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers

SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD
Update Prior to Sale 16U32 – Supplement #2
Certain 2017 Model Year F-250 to F-750 F-Super Duty Vehicles Equipped with a 6.7L Diesel Engine
Engine Oil Pressure Inspection

REF: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD
Update Prior to Sale 16U32
Dated December 30, 2016

New! REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT

A review of service part requests and IDS recordings indicate that some dealers are incorrectly identifying vehicles as having a lack of engine oil pressure (fail condition). Dealers are requested to repeat Phase Two of the technical instructions on new unsold vehicles currently being held for parts. Vehicles that pass inspection may be demonstrated and delivered immediately.

NOTE: It is not necessary to repeat Phase One on vehicles that have already been tested in order to repeat Phase Two.

Service Action and Technical Instructions Update: For vehicles that fail inspection conducted on and after February 7, 2017, dealers are to:

Submit a screen shot of the IDS recording demonstrating the fail condition to the SSSC for further repair direction and to order parts.
Send the IDS session file to Ford.

Labor Allowances: Labor allowance 16U32D has been added to provide additional time for screen shot and session file submissions. Claims with labor operation code 16U32C with a repair date of February 11, 2017 and later will no longer be accepted.

PROGRAM TERMS

This program will be in effect through December 31, 2017, for new unsold vehicles only, and is not applicable to sold vehicles.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Vehicle	Model Year	Assembly Plant	Build Dates
F-250 – F-550	2017	Kentucky	February 3, 2016 through November 30, 2016
F-350 – F-550		Ohio	May 4, 2016 through December 6, 2016
F-650 – F-750		Ohio	April 18, 2016 through December 6, 2016

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM

In some of the affected vehicles, the engine may lack oil pressure at start up after a cold soak due to concerns with the oil pump. This condition may lead to engine failure at very low mileage.

New! SERVICE ACTION

Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to inspect for a lack of engine oil pressure and if necessary contact the SSSC for further repair direction following the technical instructions found in Attachment III.

NOTE: It is not necessary to repeat Phase One on vehicles that have already been tested in order to repeat Phase Two.

NOTE: Less than 1% of the affected vehicles are expected to require a repair based on the inspection.

NOTE: To ensure a positive customer delivery experience, dealers are requested to immediately conduct this procedure on all affected new in-stock vehicles in your inventory. The inspection procedure is a two-phase operation with an 8 hour wait between phases. Please ensure that adequate time is allotted to perform this procedure prior to the demonstration or delivery of vehicles affected.

OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner letters will not be mailed for this program.

ATTACHMENT III

CERTAIN 2017 MODEL YEAR F-250 TO F-750 F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6.7L DIESEL ENGINE — ENGINE OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION

OVERVIEW

In some of the affected vehicles, the engine may lack oil pressure at start up after a cold soak due to concerns with the oil pump. This condition may lead to engine failure at very low mileage. Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to inspect for a lack of engine oil pressure and if necessary contact the SSSC for further repair direction following these technical instructions.

The minimum 30 minute engine RPM increase is needed to achieve 90C (194F) engine oil temperature to complete the engine oil pressure inspection.

NOTE: It is not necessary to repeat Phase One on vehicles that have already been tested in order to repeat Phase Two.

NOTE: Less than 1% of the affected vehicles are expected to require engine front cover replacement based on this inspection.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Phase One

NOTE: If the vehicle has been stored in ambient temperatures -18C (0F) or below, allow the vehicle to warm inside the shop before starting this procedure. Otherwise in extremely cold temperatures, the Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) Desired Idle Speed RPM (RPMDSD) control function will not increase the RPM to the level required in step 2. For in-shop repair efficiency, consider beginning the pre-soak procedure just prior to shop close.

NOTE: This procedure has two phases and both can be conducted outside the shop/service bay if the ambient temperature is above -18C (0F) at the start of the initial phase.

Connect IDS and navigate to the RPMDSD Parameter Identification (PID). See Figures 1 and 2.
- A. Select Tool Box > Data Logger > Powertrain > Engine.
- B. Clear all pre-selected Parameter Identification (PID) boxes by pressing the clear button in the lower right corner of the screen. See Figure 1.
- C. Select the RPMDSD PID. Click the check mark. See Figure 2.

FIGURE 1

FIGURE 2

NOTE: It is not necessary to run the vehicle inside the shop once it has been allowed to warm.

Start the engine and then select the control function. Use the control function buttons to increase engine RPM between 2,400 to 2,500 RPM for a minimum of 30 minutes. See Figure 3.

FIGURE 3

Shut off engine at the desired soak location. Allow vehicle to soak for a minimum of 8 hours.

NOTE: Regardless of outside ambient temperatures, the balance of this test procedure may be completed without bringing the vehicle into the shop. The vehicle must NOT be started until the 8 hour soak is completed.

Phase Two

NOTE: If you are repeating Phase Two on a previously tested vehicle, it is not necessary to run the engine at 2,400 to 2,500 RPM for a minimum of 30 minutes again (Phase One).

After 8 hour soak, connect IDS and select Tool Box > Data Logger > Powertrain > Engine.
Clear all pre-selected PID boxes by pressing the clear button in the lower right corner of the screen. See Figure 1.

NOTE: Do not start the engine until the DIST_TOT_VEH (DIST) PID, OIL_LOW_SW (MODE) PID and the RPM (RPM) PID are displayed in graph form as shown in Figure 10.

Select the DIST_TOT_VEH (DIST) PID, OIL_LOW_SW (MODE) PID and the RPM (RPM) PID. Click the check mark. See Figures 4a and 4b.

FIGURE 4a

FIGURE 4b

On the graph screen, select the OIL_LOW_SW PID in the upper LH corner of the screen and then click the plot format button. See Figure 5.

FIGURE 5

In the OIL_LOW_SW PID dialog box, select the graph button and then click the check mark. See Figure 6.

FIGURE 6

On the graph screen, select the RPM PID and then click the plot format button. See Figure 7.

FIGURE 7

In the RPM PID dialog box, select upper limit button. See Figure 8.

FIGURE 8

Set the Auto Capture limits for the RPM PID. See Figure 9.
- A. Under the Set Limits section, press the down arrow until the upper limit is set to 400 RPM.
- B. Select the Auto Capture button.
- C. Select the Transition button.
- D. Click the check mark.

FIGURE 9

Once the OIL_LOW_SW (MODE) PID and the RPM (RPM) PID are displayed in graph form, start the engine and the recording will automatically begin when the engine RPM reaches 400. See Figure 10.

NOTE: The data capture button will be automatically selected for you.

FIGURE 10

Evaluate the recording data. See Figures 11 and 12.
- A. Select the Playback Display button to view the IDS recording.
- B. The recording automatically started when the RPM PID crossed the 400 RPM limit. This represents 0 (zero) seconds on the graph.
- C. Observe when the OIL_LOW_SW PID switched from “Low” to “Not Low”.
  - If the time is less than 3.25 seconds the inspection is a PASS, no additional service is required.
  - If the time is greater than 3.25 seconds the inspection is a FAIL, and the engine front cover must be replaced following the procedures in Workshop Manual (WSM) Section 303-01C.
    - To place an order for the engine front cover, submit a VIN-specific Part Order contact via the SSSC Web Contact Site. The Part Order must include a file attachment containing a screen shot of the IDS recording demonstrating the fail condition.
      Attachments must be 1MB or smaller.
    - Send the IDS session file to Ford. See GSB G0000070 – How To Send An IDS Session File Containing Recordings.
