| LINCOLN: | 2007 MKZ |
2007 Lincoln MKZ vehicles may exhibit a hesitation during acceleration from a stop or at slow speeds.
The vehicle may also exhibit a slow or hesitating upshift while ascending hills.
A powertrain control module (PCM) and the transmission control module (TCM) calibration can be the cause of this concern.
ACTION:
Reprogram the PCM and TCM to the latest calibration using IDS release IDS or Ford J2534 47.10 and higher or IDS or Ford J2534 48.3 and higher.
This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2007.3 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.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.
