DURING PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI), 2017 F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES WILL EXHIBIT AN ILLUMINATED LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AND INACCURATE TIRE PRESSURE READOUTS IN MESSAGE CENTER (IF EQUIPPED). WHILE INFLATING THE TIRES TO SPECIFICATION FOR PDI, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO COMPLETE A TPMS SENSOR ACTIVATION PROCEDURE TO TURN OFF THE WARNING MESSAGE AND UPDATE THE MESSAGE SENSOR PRESSURE READOUT. TO CLEAR WARNING MESSAGE AND CORRECT PRESSURE READOUTS, DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR 2 MILES OR 2 MINUTES AT OVER 32 KPH (20 MPH) AFTER INFLATING THE TIRES DURING THE ROAD TEST PORTION OF THE PDI WORKSHEET. IF THE TPMS LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING IS STILL PRESENT OR MESSAGE CENTER PRESSURE READOUT IS INACCURATE AFTER THE REQUIRED DRIVING, REFER TO THE ONLINE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 204-04B FOR NORMAL DIAGNOSTICS.

SOME 2017 F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6.7L ENGINE AND BUILT ON OR BEFORE 03-NOV-2016 MAY EXHIBIT A LEAK FROM THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER TUBES. THIS MAY BE DUE TO POOR ALIGNMENT OF THE COOLER TUBES WITH THE COOLER TUBE PORTS ON THE TRANSMISSION AND/OR IMPROPER HOLD DOWN PLATE ALIGNMENT. WHEN INSTALLING THESE TUBES, VISUALLY VERIFY THAT EACH TUBE IS FULLY INSERTED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND ARE NOT OFFSET TO ONE SIDE OF THE COOLER PORT BORE BEFORE INSTALLING THE HOLD DOWN PLATE. WHEN INSTALLING THE HOLD DOWN PLATE, USE A NEW BOLT PART NUMBER W715131-S437 WITH WASHER W718565-S437U INSTALLED OVER THE BOLT BETWEEN THE PLATE AND THE TRANSMISSION. TORQUE TO 25 NM (18 LB-FT). THIS WILL PROVIDE PROPER PLATE TO COOLER TUBE ALIGNMENT AND CLAMPING.

SETTING THE CORRECT TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THE PRE-DELIVERY PROCESS AND DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS. RECENT CUSTOMER CLINICS REVEALED THAT MOST EVERY VEHICLE IN THE CLINICS HAD THE TIRE PRESSURES SET INCORRECTLY. TIRE PRESSURES FROM THE FACTORY ARE NOT SET TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION. MAINTAINING THE CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE IS KEY TO THE RIDE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE AND AFFECTS RIDE QUALITY, HANDLING, LOAD CAPACITY AND TIRE WEAR. THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE SETTINGS CAN BE FOUND ON THE TIRE INFORMATION LABEL IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR JAM. DO NOT USE THE TIRE PRESSURES LISTED ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRES. MAINTAINING THE TIRE PRESSURE IS PART OF NORMAL MAINTENANCE. IT SHOULD BE RECHECKED MONTHLY, PER THE OWNER GUIDE AND DURING THE RECOMMENDED TIRE ROTATION INTERVALS.
