Stop Safely Now Message with Red Triangle Indicator – DTC P0A0A – 2012-2014 Ford Focus

SEOCONTENT-START**************************************************************************************************************FORD: 2012-2014 Focus This article supersedes TSB 15-0031 to add a production fix date, update the Title, Issue Statement, Service Procedure and Part List. ISSUE Some 2012-2014 Focus Electric vehicles built on 15-Sep-2011 and through 15-Aug-2014 may exhibit a Stop Safely Now message with a red triangle indicator in the instrument cluster, followed by loss of motive power. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) may also illuminate with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0A0A present in the powertrain control module (PCM) memory. ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition. SERVICE PROCEDURE 1. Connect the Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) service tool or equivalent scan tool to the data link connector (DLC). Check for DTCs. Is P0A0A stored in the PCM memory? a. Yes – proceed to Step 2. b. No – this article does not apply. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-14 for normal diagnostics. 2. Use the online automotive service information system (OASIS) and review the warranty history. Make sure Field Service Action (FSA) 15B23 has been completed. Has FSA 15B23 been completed? a. Yes – typically when DTC P0A0A sets after FSA 15B23 has been performed it is caused by the interlock circuit shunt located at the transmission control module (TCM) connector C1822B. The shunt was replaced per the FSA and the shunt was not fully seated during the installation and/or the grease was left off the shunt. Proceed to Step 3. b. No – proceed to Step 6. 3. Inspect connector C1822B. Was the shunt installed correctly and coated with Motorcraft® Electrical Grease? a. Yes – this article does not apply. Refer to WSM, Section 303-14 for normal diagnostics b. No – proceed to Step 4. 4. Seat the shunt fully until an audible click is heard. a. Make sure clean latex gloves are worn to prevent contamination of the shunt. 5. Using a lint free cloth, lightly wipe all surfaces of the shunt after installation. Apply Motorcraft® Electrical Grease to the new Powertrain High Voltage Inter-Lock (PT HVIL) terminal shunt. (Figure 7) a. The repair is complete. 6. Check the vehicle build date. Was the vehicle built on or before 18-May-2014? a. Yes – go to Step 7. b. No – vehicles built on 19-May-2014 and through 15-Aug-2014 go to Step 9. 7. Remove the two engine cover retainer pins and remove the engine cover.

(Figure 1) Figure 1 – Article 17-0045 a. Yes – HV wire harness update is not required. Proceed to Step 22. b. No – proceed to Step 9. 9. Disconnect the HV battery service disconnect. Refer to WSM, Section 414-03. 10. Disconnect the TCM connector. (Figure 1) 11. Use a pair of round/blunt nose scissors to cut the single convolute between the wires down to the black tape at the dash bracket and discard the cut convolute. Peel back the convolute as you cut for better visibility. (Figure 2) Figure 2 – Article 17-0045 a. To avoid damage to the HV wire harness, a razor blade, utility knife or similar tool should not be used for cutting the convolute and tape. 12. Install the abrasion sleeves individually over each HV wire. (Figure 3) TSB 17-0045 (Continued) PAGE2 Figure 3 – Article 17-0045 13. Install tie-straps to the HV wire harness in the sequence shown. Install the tie-straps so they are facing away from each other. Cut off excess length of the tie-straps. (Figure 4) Figure 4 – Article 17-0045 14. Replace the four TCM connector terminal springs using a terminal release tool, pick or bent paper clip. Do not scratch or damage the terminal surface or spring grooves. (Figure 5) TSB 17-0045 (Continued) PAGE3 Figure 5 – Article 17-0045 a. Each TCM terminal contains two springs. b. Place the springs into their correct position and seat in the grooves. 15. On the TCM connector, locate the PT HVIL terminal shunt locking tab access hole. Using an angled pick, press the tab while pulling the shunt out of the connector and discard the shunt. (Figure 6) Figure 6 – Article 17-0045 16. Install new shunt. The shunt is not fully seated during installation until an audible click is heard. a. Make sure clean latex gloves are worn to prevent contamination of the new shunt. 17. Using a clean lint free cloth, lightly wipe all surfaces of the shunt after installation. Apply Motorcraft® Electrical Grease to the new PT HVIL terminal shunt. (Figure 7) TSB 17-0045 (Continued) PAGE4 Figure 7 – Article 17-0045 18. Connect and disconnect the TCM connector. a. Verify all components remain in the correct position. 19. Reconnect the TCM connector. 20. Install the engine cover and the two engine cover retainer pins. 21. Connect the HV battery service disconnect. Follow the WSM procedures in Section 414-03A. 22. Reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration using IDS release 105.01 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.
