SummarySome 2023 F-Super Duty vehicles may set diagnostic trouble codes (DTCS) U3035 and/or U3036 in the powertrain control module (PCM) during a diagnostic self-test. These DTCS set when the PCM detects an authentication failure after key initialization (U3035) and/or while the PCM continues to monitor DTC (U3036) during the transition of the controller area network (CAN) bus entering sleep mode. U3035 and/or U3036 should be ignored if: no other DTCs are present in the PCM, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is not illuminated while the engine is running, and no drivability concerns are present. No further service action is required.

SummarySome 2020-2023 Ford and Lincoln SYNC3 equipped vehicles may experience an inaccurate notification in the FordPassî/LincolnWayî app indicating Vehicle Has Entered Deep Sleep Mode. Vehicle Has Entered Deep Sleep Mode message is expected if the vehicle has not been started for 14 consecutive days, battery voltage is at/below 9.5 volts or the body control module (BCM) 12 volt battery state of charge (SoC) drops below 50%. If the vehicle is going into deep sleep outside these conditions, this may be due to the telematics control unit (TCU) software. To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to update the TCU to the latest software. For claiming, use causal part 14G229 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
