Summary
This article supersedes TSB 18-2310 to update Service Procedure and the Labor Operation allowance.
Issue: Some 2018 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 2.7L EcoBoost engine may experience an illuminated
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P2196, P2198, P2BF0, P2BF2,
P2BF1, P2BF3, P2BEC, P2BED, P2BEE, P2BEF, P130D, P0300, P0316, P0301-P0306, P0171, P0174,
P219A, P219B, P0172 and/or P0175 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to
software in the powertrain control module (PCM) or direct injection fuel injectors leaking down. To correct
the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM and/or replace the direct injection fuel
injectors.
Action: Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition on vehicles that meet all of the
following criteria:
• 2018 F-150
• 2.7L EcoBoost engine
• DTC P2196, P2198, P2BF0, P2BF2, P2BF1, P2BF3, P2BEC, P2BED, P2BEE, P2BEF,

Service Procedure
1. Retrieve and record DTCs. Are DTCs P2196, P2198, P2BF0, P2BF2, P2BF1, P2BF3, P2BEC, P2BED,
P2BEE, P2BEF and/or P130D stored in the PCM?
(1). Yes - reprogram the PCM using the appropriate Ford scan tool at the latest software level. Proceed
to Step 2.
NOTE: Advise the customer that this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift
strategy which allows the vehicle's computer to learn the transmission's unique parameters and
improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a relearning
process. This relearning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for
several days.
(2). No - proceed to Step 2.
2. Is the vehicle built before 12-Jul-2018?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 3.
(2). No - if the PCM was reprogrammed in Step 1, the repair is complete. If answered No to all previous
steps, this article does not apply. If any DTCs remain, refer to the Powertrain Controls and Emissions
Diagnosis (PC/ED) Manual for further diagnostics.
3. Review DTC’s recorded from step #1. Were DTCs P0300, P0316, P0301- P0306, P2196, P2198,
P0171, P0174, P219A, P219B, P0172 and/or P0175 stored in the PCM?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 4.
(2). No - if the PCM was reprogrammed in Step 1, the repair is complete. If answered No to all previous
steps, this article does not apply. If any DTCs remain, refer to the PC/ED Manual for further
diagnostics.
4. Monitor fuel rail pressure using the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. Start the engine and allow it
to idle for 30 seconds. Shut off the engine and monitor the fuel rail pressure. Does the fuel rail pressure
drop below 6.9 kPa (10 psi) within 30 seconds after engine shut down?
(1). Yes - replace the direct injection fuel injectors. Refer to the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 30304A.
(2). No - if the PCM was reprogrammed in Step 1, the repair is complete. If answered No to all previous
steps, this article does not apply. If any DTCs remain, refer to the PC/ED Manual for further
diagnostics.
