General Procedure

1. Using the scan tool, select Module Programming and Programmable Parameters under the toolbox icon and select transmission. Follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool. There are fields to enter the solenoid body 7-digit identification and 13-digit strategy recorded from the solenoid body.

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

Enter the solenoid body identification and strategy. The scan tool will verify the numbers entered are valid and display 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 TCM (Transmission Control Module). If the file is not present, the scan tool will need to be connected to the PTS (Professional Technician Society) server to download the file onto the scan tool.

3. Verify that 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.

4. Connect the scan tool to the PTS (Professional Technician Society) server. The screen will display a progress bar when connecting to the network.

5. Follow the instructions on the network to download the strategy file to the scan tool. The screen will display a progress bar when downloading the strategy file to the scan tool and display a message if it is downloaded successfully.

6. If the scan tool cannot connect to the PTS (Professional Technician Society) server, download the file from www.motorcraft.com. If the scan tool cannot download a strategy from the web site, a partial strategy will automatically be downloaded.

7. Reconnect the scan tool to the vehicle.

8. Follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool.

9. If a new solenoid body was installed, compare the 7-digit identification and the 13-digit strategy fields from the solenoid body to the replacement solenoid body tag provided with the solenoid body service kit and place it over the existing identification tag. The scan tool will automatically download the strategy file or partial strategy file to the TCM (Transmission Control Module) and will display a progress bar while downloading. The scan tool will display a message when it is finished downloading the data that states that the file was downloaded successfully.
