Some 2017 Ford F-Super Duty trucks equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine and built on or before Nov. 7, 2017 may exhibit a MIL on with DTC P2201, P246C and/or P2463.

1. If these DTCs are the only ones found, proceed to step 2.

2. Are DTCs P246C and/or P2463 present? If yes, proceed to step 3. If no, proceed to step 5.

3. Using a scan tool, perform a diesel particulate filter (DPF) manual regeneration located under Toolbox>Powertrain>Service Functions>Diesel Particulate Regeneration System>DPF Manual Regeneration. If the scan tool prompts that regeneration of the DPF is not recommended at this time, select Yes to proceed. When prompted to select static or dynamic regeneration, select Static Regeneration.

4. Using the appropriate Ford scan tool, perform a DPF parameter reset under Toolbox>Powertrain>Service Functions>Diesel Particulate Regeneration System>DPF Parameter Reset.

5. Reprogram the PCM with release 110.02 or higher. Make sure that you are connected to the internet when entering module programming to obtain the latest updates.
