ISSUE
Some 2006-2007 Fusion and Milan vehicles equipped with a 2.3L engine, and either a manual or automatic transmission, may exhibit excessively low idle RPM, with no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) off. Vehicles equipped with a 2.3L engine and automatic transmission may also exhibit engine over-speed (noise) due to delayed transmission up-shift, in addition to the low idle RPM.

ACTION
If the MIL is on and/or DTCs are present, follow normal diagnostics, instead of this TSB. If above symptoms are occurring with the MIL off and no DTCs are present, or normal diagnostics did not reveal a root cause, reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration from the Module Programming menu, using IDS release B43.14 and higher or B44.4 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the B44 CD. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website. If concern still occurs after reprogramming, continue with normal diagnostics.

NOTE
WHEN REPROGRAMMING THE PCM ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EQUIPPED VEHICLES FOR THIS SYMPTOM, THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WILL ALSO AUTOMATICALLY BE REPROGRAMMED TO THE LATEST LEVEL.
