Service Procedure
- Does the customer report an exhaust odor inside the vehicle under hard acceleration, towing a trailer, driving in hilly conditions or with the climate control system in auto or recirculate?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 2.
(2). No – this article does not apply.
- Visually inspect the rear liftgate weatherstrip seal for proper seating to the body of the vehicle. Reposition the liftgate weatherstrip seal as necessary.
- Check the weatherstrip contact mark around the entire liftgate to make sure the liftgate is correctly aligned. Reposition the liftgate as required to obtain a proper seal. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-03.
(1). View the weatherstrip contact mark from different angles to make sure it can be seen clearly.
(2). A slight weatherstrip print gap at the bottom center of the liftgate near the latch area is normal and corresponds with the weatherstrip joint seam.
(1). MKX (Figure 1)
(2). Edge (Figure 2)

- Verify the air extractors are not deformed. A slight gap of approximately 1 mm (0.029in.) between the rubber flap and extractor body is normal. Replace the air extractor if it is damaged or warped.
- Reinstall the rear bumper cover. Refer to WSM, Section 501-19.
- Reinstall the rear tail lamp assemblies. Refer to WSM, Section 417-01.
- Reinstall the right and left rear quarter panel splash shields and wheel opening trim mouldings. Refer to WSM, Section 501-08.
- Reprogram the front controls interface module (FCIM) to the latest calibration using Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) or Ford
J2534 Diagnostic Software (FJDS) release 108.03 or higher. Make sure you are connected to the internet when entering module programming to obtain the latest updates. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraftservice.com.
(1). When reprogramming the FCIM, IDS or FJDS will have additional questions which will require a yes response to reprogram the module.
