Service Procedure
NOTE: Perform the de-sulfate procedure one time only. If the vehicle exhibit this condition again, proceed with the replacement of the catalytic converter(s).
1. Perform pinpoint tests steps HF1-HF6.
(1). For 2018-2020 vehicles, refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) Manual.
(2). For 2021 vehicles, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM) Section 309-00 > Diagnosis and Testing > PC/ED Pinpoint Test HF.
2. Is the concern still present?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 3.
(2). No – this article does not apply.
3. Retrieve onboard diagnostics (OBD) Mode 6 Data from the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) and record oxygen storage values from both banks.
4. Perform the following sulfur removal cycle.
(1). Warm up the engine to its normal operating temperature.
(2). Identify an appropriate route to allow speeds around 65 mph (105 km/h).
(3). From 30 mph (48 km/h) or slower, accelerate at wide open throttle (WOT) until the vehicle reaches 65 mph (105 km/h).
(4). Perform periodic light acceleration/deceleration events for 5 minutes, driving alternately between 50 mph and 65 mph (80 km/h and 105 km/h).
(5). Reduce speed to under 30 mph (48 km/h).
(6). Repeat the WOT with periodic acceleration/deceleration events 3-4 times.
(7). Park the vehicle and let the engine idle for 1 hour.
5. Clear DTCs P0420 and/or P0430 stored in the PCM. This resets the Mode 6 data to zero.
6. Drive the vehicle at 55-65 mph (88-105 km/h) for 15 minutes.
7. Run a catalyst monitor drive cycle. Refer to pinpoint test HF11 > On Board Diagnostics (OBD) Drive Cycle.
8. Retrieve OBD Mode 6 Data after the catalyst oxygen storage values have been populated. Have the oxygen storage values decreased from what was recorded in Step 3 and are they less than 0.5 on either bank?
(1). Yes – repair is complete.
(2). No – replace the catalytic converter(s) on the affected bank(s). Refer to the WSM, Section 309-00 > Exhaust System > Removal and Installation > Catalytic Converter.
