FORD:

2014 Focus

 

2014 Focus vehicles equipped with a DPS6 automatic transmission and built on or before 9/27/2014 may exhibit a slight bump or jerk while driving.

The automatic transmission indicator lamp may also be illuminated with DTC P073E or P073F stored or present in the transmission control module (TCM).

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Using Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) service tool or equivalent Scan Tool, check for DTCs in the TCM. Are DTC P073E or P073F present in the TCM?
   1. Yes – proceed to Step 2.
   2. No – this article does not apply, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM) for normal diagnosis.
2. NOTE   THE PCM AND TCM ARE A MATCHED SET. PROGRAMMING THE PCM AUTOMATICALLY UPDATES THE TCM. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration level using IDS or Ford J2534 release 92.04 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.
3. NOTE   TRANSMISSION ADAPTIVE LEARNING NO LONGER REQUIRES AN ADAPTIVE DRIVE TO RESET THE CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT POINTS. Using IDS service tool or equivalent Scan Tool, select Powertrain, Transmission, Transmission Adaptive Learning and perform the Clutch Adaptive Learning.

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.
