ISSUE

Some vehicles equipped with the 4.6L engine and 5 speed manual transmission may exhibit a slight hesitation on light tip-in and a check engine light with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) codes P0172 and P0175. This may be caused by the calibration of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

ACTION





Verify condition. If normal diagnostics cannot pinpoint the condition, reprogram the PCM with the latest level calibration. Refer to the PCM Calibration Information Chart.





Obtain an Authorized Modifications Decal (FPS 8262 - obtainable through DOES II, 25/pkg) and list the date, dealer number, and summary of modifications performed. Select a prominent place adjacent to the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal suitable for installing the Authorized Modifications Decal. Clean the area, install the decal, and cover it with a clear plastic decal shield.
