CERTAIN 2021 MODEL YEAR MUSTANG MACH-E VEHICLES — SOFTWARE CALIBRATION UPDATE
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE: The availability of certain modules is dependent on the vehicle equipment options. Not all modules will require a software update. Some modules may already have the latest software level.
Module Programming
1. Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery.
NOTE: 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. Do Not have the vehicle plugged into main charger during programming. This can cause modules to not program correctly, only have the 12V battery charger installed.
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 Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II) is properly connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
NOTE: Make sure the Ford Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS) does not enter sleep mode during module configuration.
2. Launch Ford Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS).
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.
3. Click ‘Read VIN from Vehicle’ or manually enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
NOTE: Available modules are shown on the left hand (LH) side of the screen, and available procedures are listed on the right hand (RH) side of the screen. Modules that are communicating are highlighted in green.
4. Select Toolbox tab.
5. Inspect the availability for software updates on the following modules.
NOTE: Not all modules listed will require a software update. The software update will run the necessary module updates based on the vehicle options.
- PCM – Powertrain Control Module
- SOBDM – Secondary On Board Control Module
- BECM – Battery Energy Control Module
- SOBDMB – Secondary On Board Control Module B
- SOBDMC – Secondary On Board Control Module C
- ABS – Anti-lock Brake System
6. From the list on the LH side of the screen, select the module(s) that are available for software update.
NOTE: Only one module may be updated at a time.
7. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select the module “Software Update”.
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.

Customer Satisfaction Program 21B02
Mr. John Sample
123 Main Street
Anywhere, USA 12345
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567
At Ford Motor Company, we are committed not only to building high quality, dependable products, but
also to building a community of happy, satisfied customers. To demonstrate that commitment, we are
providing a no-charge Customer Satisfaction Program for your vehicle with the VIN shown above.
Why are you receiving
this notice?
On your vehicle, it may be possible the vehicle may experience a false
detection of a voltage sensor fault.
If you had this service performed during a dealer visit prior to February 24,
2021, the complete update may not have been installed on your vehicle.
Please contact your dealer again to schedule another appointment.
What is the effect? This may result in a vehicle no-start after charging and using remote start. If
this happens, the wrench light will illuminate and a “Service Vehicle Soon”
message will display in the instrument cluster. The vehicle will restart after a
30-second shutdown before next key cycle.
What will Ford and
your dealer do?
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized
your dealer to reprogram the Powertrain Control Module free of charge
(parts and labor) under the terms of this program.
This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until February 28, 2022
regardless of mileage. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent
owners.
How long will it take? The time needed for this repair is less than one-half day. However, due to
service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a
longer period of time.
What should you do?
Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for
Customer Satisfaction Program 21B02. Provide the dealer with your VIN,
which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter.
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access owner.ford.com
for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.

What should you do?
(continued)
Ford Motor Company wants you to have this service action completed on
your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to
have the work completed. NOTE: You can receive information about Recalls
and Customer Satisfaction Programs through our FordPass App. The app
can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play. In addition there
are other features such as reserving and paying for parking in certain
locations and controlling certain functions on your vehicle (lock or unlock
doors, remote start) if it is equipped to allow control.
COVID-19
(CORONAVIRUS)
Ford dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both your
safety and the safety of dealership employees. This includes specific
procedures for cleaning and disinfecting customer vehicles before and after

critical service. Please contact your local dealer to confirm current service
hours. For more information on how Ford and your local dealer are working
hard to keep you on the road during these challenging times, please visit
owner.ford.com.

own this vehicle?
