OVERVIEW
In all of the affected vehicles, the optional High Performance Pack was delivered to customers without the high performance brakes, and were equipped with a different brake pad. The high performance brakes are a dealer-install option and requires installation of upgraded brake linings and an ABS module calibration update. Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to inspect vehicles for High Performance Brake Package friction pads, per Dealer Bulletin Technical Instructions. If either front or rear High Performance linings cannot be confirmed visually, then dealer is to install complete High Performance front and rear brake pads and perform ABS calibration update. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. Please follow the Workshop Manual (WSM) procedures in Section 100-02.
2. Looking through the front wheel spokes inspect the front brake pads for a silver shim. Do the front brake pads have a silver shim? See Figure 1.
Yes – Replace the front and rear brake pads following WSM procedures in Section 206-03 and Section 206-04. Then proceed to Step 4.
No – Proceed to Step 3.
3. Inspect the rear brake pads for a sticky or tacky material. Looking through the brake caliper also inspect the top of the rear brake pad lining for a part code. See Figure 2.
– If the rear brake pads do not have a sticky or tacky material and/or the part code N617H, is replace the front and rear brake pads. Please follow the WSM procedures in Section 206-03 and 206-04. Then proceed to Step 4.
– If the rear brake pads do have a sticky or tacky material and/or the part code GA6501, is and the front brake pads pass inspection no further action is required.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the upper rear caliper bolts for this replacement procedure. The kit will come with one new replacement bolt per side. See Figure 3.
4. After performance brake kit installation, use Ford Diagnostic & Repair System (FDRS) for the brake system software update. Follow the steps and screenshots in the kit instructions to preform the software update.
IMPORTANT: Failure to preform the software update can result in reduced vehicle performance.
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. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and the PC. Launch FDRS. The VCMII/VCMM icon should turn green in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM connection.
c. If you are using the same FDRS as the initial programming attempt, select the appropriate VIN from the Vehicle Identification menu. If you are using a different FDRS, select “Read VIN from Vehicle” and proceed through the Network Test.
d. In the Toolbox menu, navigate to the failed module and Download/Run Programmable Module Installation (PMI). Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked if the original module is installed, select “No” and continue through the installation application.
e. Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps are followed in order.
