SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD
Customer Satisfaction Program 18B21
Certain 2018 Model Year Edge Vehicles Equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost Engine and
Expedition Vehicles Equipped with Keyless Ignition
Automatic Engine Idle Shutdown
PROGRAM TERMS
This program will be in effect through August 31, 2019. There is no mileage limit for this program.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
Edge | 2018 | Oakville | May 3, 2017 through March 8, 2018 |
Expedition | 2018 | Kentucky | March 14, 2017 through March 19, 2018 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
In all of the affected vehicles, an error in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software or Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) configuration will prevent the Automatic Engine Idle Shutdown feature from automatically shutting down the ignition and engine after it has been idling for an extended period. The ignition and engine can still be shut down using the push button ignition switch.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to reprogram the PCM on Edge vehicles using Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) version 110.01 or higher and reconfigure the IPC on Expedition vehicles using the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of August 27, 2018. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

CERTAIN 2018 MODEL YEAR EDGE AND EXPEDITION VEHICLES — AUTOMATIC ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN
2018 Edge Technical Information
OVERVIEW
In all of the affected vehicles, an error in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software will prevent the Automatic Engine Idle Shutdown feature from automatically shutting down the ignition and engine after it has been idling for an extended period. The ignition and engine can still be shut down using the push button ignition switch. Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to reprogram the PCM using Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) version 110.01 or higher.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Reprogram Powertrain Control Module
NOTE: Reprogram appropriate vehicle modules before performing diagnostics and clear all DTCs after programming. For DTCs generated after reprogramming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures.
- Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery.
- Reprogram the PCM using Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) release 110.01 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.
- Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the reprogramming has completed.
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/FDRS 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/FDRS.
c. Reconnect the VCM to IDS/FDRS 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/FDRS may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps listed on the screen are followed in order.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
Reconfigure Instrument Panel Cluster
NOTE: Program appropriate vehicle modules before performing diagnostics and clear all DTCs after programming. For DTCs generated after programming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures.
- Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery.
NOTE: If the diagnostic software does not load or if the vehicle cannot be identified properly, make sure there is a good internet connection and the VCM is properly connected to the DLC.
NOTE: Vehicle information is automatically retrieved by the diagnostic software and a Network Test is run. Vehicle identification data appears on the screen when this is complete.
- Click ‘Read VIN from Vehicle’ or manually enter the VIN.
NOTE: Available modules are shown on the LH side of the screen, and available procedures are listed on the RH side of the screen. Modules that are communicating are highlighted in green.

Important Information for Module Programming
NOTE: When programming 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 FDRS/scan tool to a power source.
NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic software.
- Inspect Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II)/Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module (VCMM) 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 FDRS/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
a. Disconnect the VCMII or VCMM from the Data Link Connector (DLC) and your PC.
b. Launch FDRS and login.
c. In the Device Manager window that populates, select “Cancel”.
d. Select the appropriate VIN from the Vehicle Identification menu or use Manual VIN Entry and select “Go”.
