CERTAIN 2017-2019 MODEL YEAR ESCAPE AND FUSION VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 1.5L GTDI ENGINE — POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) REPROGRAMMING
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Module Reprogramming
NOTE: To avoid programing errors, do NOT use the dongle for the remainder of this program.
1. Using the Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS), check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for DTC’s.
Are any of the following DTC’s present in the PCM:
- P0300-P0304
- P0316
- P0217
- P1285
- P1299
And/or with or without an illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) the customer has a complaint of coolant issues such as:
YES – Continue to Steps 2 through 5 for PCM reprogramming,
- Then refer to Field Service Action (FSA) 21N12 for further instructions and diagnostics.
NO – Proceed directly to Steps 2 through 5 if there is no coolant intrusion evidence as described.
NOTE: If any other DTC’s are present in the PCM and the engine light is illuminated, record them on the repair order and advise the customer that this update will not repair these issues and that the DTC’s will be cleared but will return again after this update.
2. Connect a battery charger to the 12 volt battery.
NOTE: Verify that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12 volt battery negative terminal to prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle.
NOTE: Make sure the Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) computer does not enter sleep mode during programming.
3. Reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) using the latest IDS release. Make sure you are connected to the Internet prior to reprogramming.
NOTE: Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraftservice.com.
NOTE: Follow the IDS on-screen instructions to complete the reprogramming procedure.
4. Clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s).
5. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12 volt battery once the reprogramming has completed.
NOTE: Advise the customer that this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which allows the vehicle’s computer to learn the transmission’s unique parameters and improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a re-learning process. This re-learning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days.
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, ).
- 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 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.
c. Reconnect the VCM to IDS 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 may list additional steps required to complete the programming Make sure all applicable steps listed on the screen are followed in order.

ATTACHMENT III PAGE 1 OF 2 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 19B37-S4 CPR © 2022 FORD MOTOR COMPANY DEARBORN, MICHIGAN 48121 6/2022 CERTAIN 2017-2019 MODEL YEAR ESCAPE AND FUSION VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 1.5L GTDI ENGINE — POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) REPROGRAMMING SERVICE PROCEDURE Module Reprogramming NOTE: All vehicles are to have the PCM reprogrammed regardless of symptoms. NOTE: To avoid programing errors, do NOT use the dongle for the remainder of this program. 1. Using the Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS), check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for DTC’s. Are any of the following DTC’s present in the PCM: • P0300-P0304 • P0316 • P0217 • P1285 • P1299 And/or with or without an illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) the customer has a complaint of coolant issues such as: • Low coolant level. • Excessive white exhaust smoke. • Runs in a rough condition. YES – Continue to Steps 2 through 5 for PCM reprogramming, • Then refer to Field Service Action (FSA) 21N12 for further instructions and diagnostics. NO – Proceed directly to Steps 2 through 5 if there is no coolant intrusion evidence as described. NOTE: If any other DTC’s are present in the PCM and the engine light is illuminated, record them on the repair order and advise the customer that this update will not repair these issues and that the DTC’s will be cleared but will return again after this update. 2. Connect a battery charger to the 12 volt battery. NOTE: Verify that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12 volt battery negative terminal to prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle. NOTE: Make sure the Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) computer does not enter sleep mode during programming. 3. Reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) using the latest IDS release. Make sure you are connected to the Internet prior to reprogramming. NOTE: Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraftservice.com. NOTE: Follow the IDS on-screen instructions to complete the reprogramming procedure. ATTACHMENT III PAGE 2 OF 2 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 19B37-S4 CPR © 2022 FORD MOTOR COMPANY DEARBORN, MICHIGAN 48121 6/2022 4. Clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s). 5. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12 volt battery once the reprogramming has completed. NOTE: Advise the customer that this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which allows the vehicle’s computer to learn the transmission’s unique parameters and improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a re-learning process. This re-learning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days. 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 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. c. Reconnect the VCM to IDS 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 may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps listed on the screen are followed in order.
