WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

  1. 1.

    If a new main control was installed, record the 12-digit solenoid body identification and 13-digit solenoid body strategy from the replacement solenoid body tag provided with the main control service kit. Place the replacement tag over the existing identification tag.

  1. 2.

    Using the scan tool, select Module Programming and Programmable Parameters under the toolbox icon then select transmission. Follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool. There are fields to enter the 12-digit solenoid body identification and 13-digit solenoid body strategy recorded from the solenoid body.

  1. 3.

    NOTE: If the solenoid body information is not correct, transmission damage or driveability concerns can occur.

    Enter the solenoid body 13-digit strategy. The scan tool verifies the numbers entered are valid and displays a message if the information is not valid. The scan tool checks to see if the file is present on the scan tool. If the file is present, the technician may proceed with downloading the file to the PCM. If the file is not present, the scan tool needs to be connected to the PTS server to download the file onto the scan tool.

  1. 4.

    Verify the file is present on the scan tool. If the file is present, go to Step 8. If the file is not present, continue with this procedure.

  1. 5.

    Connect the scan tool to the PTS server.

  1. 6.

    Follow the instructions on the network to download the strategy file to the scan tool.

  1. 7.

    If the scan tool cannot connect to the PTS server, download the file from PTS using the OASIS tab and select the transmission strategy. If the scan tool cannot download a strategy from the web site, a partial strategy automatically downloads.

  1. 8.

    Reconnect the scan tool to the vehicle.

  1. 9.

    Follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool.

  1. 10.

    The scan tool automatically downloads the strategy file or partial strategy file to the PCM. The scan tool displays a message when it is finished downloading the data that states that the file was downloaded successfully.

  1. 11.

    NOTE: The customer may feel erratic shifts and driveability concerns if the adaptive drive cycle has not been performed.

    Road test the vehicle following the Adaptive Drive Cycle. Refer to Shift Point Road Test .
