6F35 TRANSMISSION, DTC- P0770, P0772, P0773,
P0774-BUILT 9/8/2008 TO 9/26/2008 - MIL LAMP
ON - ERRATIC SHIFT AND/OR HARSH
ENGAGEMENTS
FORD:
2009 Escape
MERCURY:
2009 Mariner
ISSUE
Some 2009 Escape and Mariner vehicles equipped with a 6F35 transmission and built between 9/8/2008 and 9/26/2008 may exhibit diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0770, P0772, P0773, P0774, The DTC's indicate open, short to ground or short to power in shift solenoid E (SSE) circuit. The failure modes that may be associated with the DTC's are erratic shifts, harsh engagements, 5th gear drive away, no torque converter clutch (TCC) apply, malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on. This may be caused by a shorted circuit in the powertrain control module (PCM).
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: Warranty coverage limits/policies are not altered by a TSB. Warranty coverage limits are determined by the identified causal part.

ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Follow pinpoint test A - Transaxle Control Solenoids as described in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01, through test step AS - Check The Resistance Of The Solenoid Field Circuit. If Result/Action is:
- Yes - Replace the powertrain control module (PCM), refer to WSM 303-14.[/*]
- No - This procedure does not apply and continue with diagnostic steps.[/*]
- Use the IDS Programmable Module Installation (PMI) function to insure the new PCM has the transmission solenoid body strategy downloaded.[/*]
IMPORTANT: Warranty coverage limits/policies are not altered by a TSB. Warranty coverage limits are determined by the identified causal part.
