2015 F-150

2015 F-150 vehicles equipped with 3.5L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injected (GTDI) engines built on or before 3/6/2015 may exhibit diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P25B0 stored in powertrain control module (PCM) memory.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Connect the Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) service tool or equivalent Scan Tool to the data link connector (DLC) and check for DTCs. Is DTC P25B0 stored in PCM memory?
1. No – this article does not apply. Refer to Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for normal diagnostics.
1. Yes – proceed to Step 2.

Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS or Ford J2534 release 94.04 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.

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.
