- Check the part tag on the crankcase vent oil separator using a flashlight. Look through the opening to the right of the throttle body. (Figure 1)
Figure 1
- Does the part tag have a bar code? (Figure 2)
Figure 2
- No – this article does not apply. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-00 for normal diagnostics.
- Yes – the vehicle is not equipped with a high flow crankcase vent oil separator system. Proceed to Step 3.
- Replace the crankcase vent oil separator. Refer to WSM, Section 303-08.
- Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 101.01 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
- The IDS tool will require a response to the following question: Is the vehicle equipped with G1FZ-6A785-A or later crankcase vent oil separator?
- Yes – the PCM software will be updated for the high flow crankcase vent oil separator system.
- The IDS tool will require a response to the following question: Is the vehicle equipped with G1FZ-6A785-A or later crankcase vent oil separator?

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.
