ISSUE
Some 2002 Explorer/Mountaineer vehicles built 11/13/2000 through 3/8/2001 equipped with a 5R55W transmission may exhibit a Transmission Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL) flashing with various Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in self test. DTC P0713 is the code that is most prevalently retrieved.

This may be caused by water intrusion into the transmission solenoid body connector.

ACTION
If a vehicle comes in for this condition, check the transmission solenoid body connector (C199) for signs of water intrusion. If present, replace the Transmission Wire Harness with part number 1L2Z-7C078-AB. A new harness has been released to prevent this condition. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
