SAFELY NOW" ON MESSAGE CENTER WITH
WRENCH LIGHT AND DTC P1AOC
FORD:
2005 Escape Hybrid
2008 Escape Hybrid
MERCURY:
2008 Mariner Hybrid
This article supersedes TSB 07-25-9 to update the vehicle model years.
ISSUE
Some 2005 Escape Hybrid, 2008 Escape Hybrid, and Mariner Hybrid vehicles may exhibit an intermittent Red Triangle On and "Stop Safely Now" Message displayed on the message center accompanied by a sudden RPM loss/no start symptom with a DTC P1A0C. 2005 vehicles typically exhibit this symptom on the first start of the morning. 2008 vehicles typically exhibit this symptom after an extended idle. This symptom will clear on the next key cycle.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Access and monitor the LOSSTRT PID in the PCM.
a. If the LOSSTRT PID indicates YES perform Step 2.
b. If the LOSSTRT PID indicates NO the DTC P1A0C may be the result of a 12 volt system fault. Performing the calibration update in Step 2 will not correct a 12 volt system fault. Follow Powertrain Control Emission Diagnostics (PCED) for DTC P1A0C.
2. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 52.14 and higher or 53.2 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
NOTE
AUTHORIZATION DECAL NOT REQUIRED.
WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage And Emissions Warranty Coverage
IMPORTANT: Warranty coverage limits/policies are not altered by a TSB. Warranty coverage limits are determined by the identified causal part.
