This noise may occur on initial start-up after a cold soak of 6 hours or more that may last for 2-5 seconds. This may be due to an internal component of the variable cam timing (VCT) unit. Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-00 > Diagnosis and Testing > Engine > Pinpoint Test F has been updated to include additional steps along with a video to identify the affected VCT unit that requires replacement.

  Summary

  Some 2021-2025 F-150 vehicles built on or before 30-Apr-2025 equipped with the 9.75" rear axle (minor feature code EGPAF) may exhibit a drive pinion seal leak. To confirm a vehicle is built with a minor feature code EGPAF, review the build information by double-clicking the vehicle identification number in the upper left-hand corner in the Professional Technician System (PTS). This may be due to the rear axle drive pinion seal. To correct this condition, replace the rear axle drive pinion seal with revised part number NL3Z-4676-A. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 205-02. For claiming, use causal part number 4676 and labor operation 4676A.

  Summary

  This article supersedes TSB 24-2253 to update the labor times associated with the Service Procedure from M-time to AP-time and add a limit. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model Statement above, may exhibit a condition where the SelectShift®/SelectShift transmission will downshift to a lower gear when in drive (D) and shifting to a higher gear will be unavailable in the IPC. Downshifting may continue, when safe entry conditions are met for each gear, and the IPC display will show the available gears counting down one by one as the vehicles' speed and engine rpm decreases. This may be due to a chafed wire harness in the SelectShift® +/- circuit.

  Summary

  Some 2021-2024 F-150 vehicles equipped with a B&O audio system (minor feature code IDBBQ), and various 2021-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with a B&O audio system may exhibit a pop noise and/or static in the speakers at start up that cannot be turned down or off using the audio system controls. To confirm a vehicle is built with a certain minor feature code, review the build information by double-clicking the vehicle identification number (VIN) in the upper left corner on Professional Technician System (PTS). This may be due to software in the digital signal processing (DSP) module. To correct this condition, reprogram the DSP module to the latest software level using the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 18B849 and labor operations 12651D and 12651D4.
