Check engine light on yesterday
on the way home from lunch with the wife and her friends...
i look down and the check engine light was on
ok now what
so i try reading the manual while driving to the local ford dealership to make sure the light doesnt come on during regen...nope it doesnt
they plug in the computer and find a problem with the CPS....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
CPS are you kidding like the 7.3 CPS problem...?????
They reset the code and i took off.....stopped to fuel up and when i restarted after fueling the light came on again
I called the boy and had him meet me at the dealership (hes got my old 03 7.3L and i tried to get it back the whole way home hahaha)
They just called and said there was a TSB regarding reprogram and the CPS...
I will post up more info when i get back.
FORD: 2008 F-Super Duty
This article supersedes TSB 07-16-2 to update the Action required.
ISSUE:
Some 2008 F-Super Duty F-250-F-550 vehicles built before 7/30/2007 and equipped with the 6.4L engine may exhibit one or more of the following concerns:
• Intermittent P0342 or P1336 powertrain control module (PCM) reprogram prior to normal Powertrain Controls/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) Diagnostics)
• Loss of stationary elevated idle control (SEIC) or battery charge protection (BCP) during power take-off (PTO) operation when body is rolled or wheels are rocked
• Turbocharger bearing failure due to very cold ambient temperatures, frozen turbocharger actuator with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P132B at temperatures below freezing
• Unacceptable engine idle RPM ramp rate at cold engine temperatures/cold ambient conditions in Neutral/Park with foot off Brake/Clutch
• Unacceptable engine idle RPM ramp rate during diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration in Neutral/Park with foot off Brake/Clutch
• Transmission upshift quality, engagement duration or feel, and shift busyness or powertrain hunting
This calibration update also includes diagnostic and malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) operation improvements for P200E, P242D and P2033. Follow normal PC/ED diagnostics for symptom or DTC identification.
This calibration also includes instrument cluster (IC) message centre updates for distance to empty (DTE) reads in reverse on dual fuel tank applications, "Engine Warming" turbo protection and "Stop Safely Now" exhaust over temperature warnings.
ACTION:
Reprogram the PCM, Transmission Control Module (TCM), and IC (Reprogram the IC by selecting Module Reprogramming, IC) to the latest calibration using IDS release 50.7 patch 10. When reprogramming the PCM on automatic transmission equipped vehicles the TCM will also automatically be reprogrammed to the latest level. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2007.7 DVD.
Please print/copy the Customer Information Sheet attached to this Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) and insert it into the glove box Owners Guide for future customer reference.
WARRANTY STATUS:
Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage And Emissions Warranty Coverage
IMPORTANT: Warranty coverage limits/policies are not altered by a TSB. Warranty coverage limits are determined by the identified causal part.
the only thing i noticed was the check engine light and took a little longer to crank over when starting...and only started it twice before i took it in....i'm all about the freaky little lights on the dash...dont wanna be sitting halfway between the beltway and katy on I-10 kicking my truck
looks like they threw an exhaust overtemp warning bonus in there as well
