lmorris Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Let the fun begin. We all know by now Ford admitted there is an issue on some of the trucks. Here is the latest response after not being able to clear the message. In many cases it is found that the Regeneration Cycle only needs to be driven through. This can usually only be completed by driving the vehicle at sustained speeds for a period of time over 40 minutes. During this time the EGTs should be reaching temperatures that will allow the Regeneration Cycle to complete. If after the SCR and DPF Parameters have been reset and the vehicle is driven the Drive-To-Clean Message does not clear, it would be recommended to replace the PCM. Do not import the old session or data from the original PCM. Refer to the Module Programming and Reprogramming Job Aid located in the online PTS Service Tips Tab. - Start a normal session with the IDS. - Select NO when the IDS prompts to verify the VIN and vehicle information. - Enter the Tear Tag information located in the As-Built Tab of PTS into the IDS to correctly identify the vehicle. - When the session is started, Module Programming should automatically begin. If it does not, select Programmable Module Installation (PMI) from the IDS menu and select PCM. - Road test to verify repair after the PCM programming is completed. If the concern is no longer present no further repairs are necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I would love to know the explanation of that one. You change the software... and now the hardware (on random vehicles) is no good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think they ran into the same scenario as the ones that got stuck in idle only mode. It took them awhile to figure out how to clear them too without replacing the PCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I had to perform a manual regeneration on one for the same reason on Monday. He drove for 3 days with the drive to clean message on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Me too today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 If the truck is equipped to perform operator commanded regen, use that and not IDS. It has been the only successful regen for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Has anyone just tried clearing the DPF tables? I believe I read an SSM stating to do so if this message appears after the recall has been performed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Has anyone just tried clearing the DPF tables? I believe I read an SSM stating to do so if this message appears after the recall has been performed. Yep.....Manual regen and reset DPF, never gotten one to clear the way the SSM says. Tried an IDS manual regen and DPF reset on one truck 3 times before I gave up and gave it back to the customer. He drove it for 3 days before it cleared. Performed forced regen through the cluster on one and was successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbriggs Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I haven't had drive to clean one, but I do have one that set a P2201 3000km after recall. Now set a P2073 about 2000km after that repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthingtonmedic38 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Ive had 2, first one took 6 attempts to regen with IDS before successful, should have read this thread first. Second one I still have in the shop, has a P249C after another dealer flashed the 14E03, couldn't get a successful regen so Hotline said to chase the code.
