ISSUE
Some 2012 Focus vehicles equipped with a 2.0L gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine, manual transmission and built on or before 2/29/2012 may
exhibit diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) U0422, P00D2, P068A, P0850, P2610, P2832, P286F, P2877, P00C6, P0607, P0457 and/or P06B8 and may be accompanied by engine drivability concerns. Refer to the calibration content for additional calibration details.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 78.02 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2012.3 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
2. Reset the Oil Minder, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 413-01.
Previously Released Calibration Content
Previously released calibration content contained improvement actions and enhancements to address the following on vehicles equipped with a manual
transmission:
^ Intermittent vehicle speed control inoperative.
^ Engine no-start with engine coolant temperature (ECT) open circuit faults.
^ Intermittent no-crank/no-start condition after performing normal Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) pinpoint test (PPT) procedures.
^ Intermittent false initialization to 21 °C (70 °F) on the instrument cluster's ambient temperature display upon engine start up.
^ A/C performance at idle and high engine coolant temperature readings in cold ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) on vehicles equipped with automatic grill shutters (AGS).
^ Oil change minder not lighting up in instrument panel cluster (IPC) when vehicle surpasses 10,000 miles.
^ Difficulty launching from a stop when not using the accelerator pedal.
^ Low speed tip-in/tip-out shuffle in 1st, 2nd and reverse gears
