TSB 14-0113 (sorry, no PDF):
FORD:
2010-2014 Flex, Taurus
2013-2014 Explorer
LINCOLN:
2010-2014 MKS, MKT
ISSUE
Some 2010-2014 Flex, MKS, MKT, Taurus and 2013-2014 Explorer vehicles equipped with a 3.5L Gasoline
Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI) engine with an aluminum valve cover may exhibit excessive oil consumption and/or
excessive engine oil smoking condition from the tail pipe at idle during normal engine operating temperatures.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) Valve. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-08.
2. Inspect for oil in the crankcase vent oil separator through the PCV valve opening. Is there presence of liquid oil, more than slight vapor?
a. No - this article does not apply refer to WSM, Section 303-00 for Excessive Engine Oil Consumption.
b. Yes - proceed to Step 3.
3. Replace the right hand valve cover, refer to WSM, Section 303-01D.
4. Replace the crankcase vent oil separator, refer to WSM, Section 303-08.
5. Drive the vehicle at normal operating temperature for 20 minutes at constant highway speed to remove oil residue from catalytic converter.
Wow...this may shed some light on the downpipe issue
Rich
Exactomundo! Though I am guessing it would be harder to take the vehicle in with aftermarket downpipes & have 'em perform this TSB :( Would like to learn more about the "crankcase vent oil separator".
That is a sticky situation. Stock cats eating up enough of a minor issue to not notice until the aftermarket ones are installed. Yet there's enough out there making it through stock cats to warrant a TSB.
I wonder how they diagnose this. Check for smoke from tailpipes? Bring it in and confirm, setup drop off date after the downpipes are put back to stock set?
Rich
Probably be easier to build a condensation trap/catch can for the PCV system than to try & get coverage if you have a non-OEM setup. All dealer relationships though. True, they put out a TSB, but are they being more proactive on this than other issues, or is it the same threshold? What is the %age of incidents they are seeing? Is their primary objective saving future catalytic converter replacement costs (emissions warranty usually far exceeds OEM/powertrain), or are they truly trying to fix the cause? Who knows!
Anyone have any info on the transmission TSB?
Which one?

Any details on what's the issue would help.
Rich
Not aware of one for the 2013+ SHO. If there is one for the 2013+ could someone post it.... No TSB since the half shaft TSB that I know of... Is this for previous models?... maybe the other TSB thread?
Searched open web and here: http://www.revbase.com/BBBMotor/TSb/ (http://www.revbase.com/BBBMotor/TSb/) as this site usually has the complete TSB.
Essentially the TSB'S varies by year the most part,but for the 2011 found four tsb related to the powertrain http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Ford-8U5Z-9C268-B-Fuel-Filler/dp/B001H1O688/ref=au_as_r?ie=UTF8&Make=Ford%7C54&Model=Taurus%7C697&Year=2014%7C2014&n=15684181&s=automotive&vehicleId=2&vehicleType=automotive, (http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Ford-8U5Z-9C268-B-Fuel-Filler/dp/B001H1O688/ref=au_as_r?ie=UTF8&Make=Ford%7C54&Model=Taurus%7C697&Year=2014%7C2014&n=15684181&s=automotive&vehicleId=2&vehicleType=automotive,) good luck and keep us updated.
Wow, I just found this post, must have been sleeping. Thanks for the great information.

Is there a TSB regarding timing chain slop / play / rattle at cold start up on SHO's ? The F150 EB's have one - under emissions warranty for some reason ?? Occasionally I get a quick and light rattle at cold stat up's. I also just put in Mobile 1 Extended Performance Full Synthetic oil for the first time, but I don't see how that could contribute to it.....maybe just coincidence ?? My car otherwise seems to run flawlessly still. I'm at 50k miles now / 40K of them tuned.
Not that I know of, tho we have had 1 or 2 SHOs get repairs for timing chain stretch. Usually, brief startup rattle is due to lack of oil lubrication, caused by filters with inadequate ADBV design. It is also important the filter material be very very good so it doesn't breakdown and clog the tiny oil passages in & around the timing chain tensioner/cam phasers. Did you use the stock MC filter, or aftermarket? Stock is highly recommended, though at least one (glock-coma) uses a different one (Fram?) with PUP+ oil successfully to keep the rattle away.
I had a Purolator One filter and heard about a check valve in oil filters possibly allowing oil to flow back from the filter so I put a Motorcraft oil filter on with no changes. What is PUP+ ?
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Plus. Gets a little confusing trying to separate out their varied "platinum" products though.

Actually a couple of current members have had them replaced under warranty. It seems they can stretch, likely under hard acceleration from stop. Symptoms varied from a rattle under the hood to increased throttle lag, and even increasing KR readings with timing pulls by the ECU.
Maybe one of them will chime in... As I remember it the actual rattle was only one member and the others were discovered while other problems were being investigated.

My ambient lighting goes back to ice blue after a week or a few days. Never on next ignition recycle. Wonder if they will update it...
I'd assume your relationship with the dealer will determine whether they will perform the TSB even if it is "out of scope" per the problem definition. Doesn't seem to be any technical reason why your vehicle wouldn't qualify if it's experiencing the issue.
I have offered in many places/forums to email the fix for the ambient lighting with sync ver 3.6.2
While it won't be recorded in your SYNC history it will be applied in your car and work.

Original Recall from the NHTSA
Manufacturer's Report Date: June 2, 2015
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 15V340000
NHTSA Action Number: PE14030
Component: STEERING
Potential Number of Units Affected: 393,623
Summary:
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Ford Fusion vehicles without a 3.5L engine and Lincoln MKZ hybrid electric vehicles, 2011 Mercury Milan vehicles, 2011-2012 Ford Taurus, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS, and Lincoln MKT vehicles equipped with a 3.5L GTDI engine and 2013 Ford Taurus, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS, and Lincoln MKT vehicles equipped with any available engine. The affected vehicles have electric power steering assist systems that may shut down as a result of a steering motor sensor fault.
AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CAUSED BY QUALITY ISSUES PERTAINING TO CONFORMAL COAT CONTAMINATION AND RIBBON CABLE PIN MISALIGNMENT WITHIN THE STEERING GEAR MOTOR MAY LEAD TO A LOSS OF THE MOTOR POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL THAT MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. FORD IS AWARE OF 16 ACCIDENT ALLEGATIONS AND THREE INJURY ALLEGATIONS RELATED TO THIS CONDITION IN THE VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THIS FIELD ACTION. MOST OF THE ACCIDENT ALLEGATIONS REPORT THAT MINOR VEHICLE DAMAGE WAS INCURRED, TYPICALLY EITHER WHEEL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM CONTACT WITH A CURB OR MINOR BODY DAMAGE. THE INJURY ALLEGATIONS WERE ALL REPORTED AS MINOR WITH NO INDICATION THAT MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS SOUGHT FOR ANY OF THE INJURIES.
Consequence:
If the vehicle experiences a loss of power steering assist, extra steering effort will be required at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
IN THE EVENT OF A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST, THE MECHANICAL LINKAGE BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE ROAD IS MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES. THE STEERING SYSTEM WILL DEFAULT TO MANUAL STEERING MODE, ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BE STEERED IN A SAFE AND CONTROLLED MANNER. LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS UNLIKELY TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH ACCIDENTS AT HIGHER SPEEDS, AS THE AMOUNT OF ASSIST SUPPLIED IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO VEHICLE SPEED. LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD REQUIRE HIGHER STEERING EFFORT, ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy:
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will check the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). If dealers find any loss of steering assist DTCs, the steering gear will be replaced, free of charge. If, no codes are found during the PSCM inspection, the PSCM software will be updated, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 20, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S18.
OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL AND INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD OR LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE (PSCM) CHECKED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS). IF NO LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST DTCS ARE PRESENT, DEALERS WILL UPDATE THE PSCM SOFTWARE. THE UPDATED PSCM SOFTWARE WILL PROVIDE STEERING ASSIST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE CYCLE IF A MOTOR POSITION SENSOR ENCODER FAULT OCCURS, AND A CLUSTER WARNING AND CHIME WILL BE PROVIDED. UPON SUBSEQUENT VEHICLE START-UPS, IF MULTIPLE FAULTS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED, STEERING ASSIST WILL BE REMOVED AND A CLUSTER WARNING AND CHIME WILL BE PROVIDED. IF ANY LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST DTCS ARE PRESENT, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR. IF A VEHICLE HAS THE PSCM SOFTWARE UPDATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS FIELD ACTION, AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST OCCURS AT A LATER DATE, THE OWNER WILL BE ABLE TO RETURN THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD OR LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE THE STEERING GEAR REPLACED IF IT OCCURS WITHIN A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS FROM THE WARRANTY START DATE FOR THE VEHICLE OR 150K MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE. FORD PROVIDED THE GENERAL REIMBURSEMENT PLAN FOR THE COST OF REMEDIES PAID FOR BY VEHICLE OWNERS PRIOR TO NOTIFICATION OF A SAFETY RECALL IN FEBRUARY 2015. THE ENDING DATE FOR REIMBURSEMENT ELIGIBILITY IS DECEMBER 31, 2015. FORD WILL FORWARD A COPY OF THE NOTIFICATION LETTERS TO DEALERS TO THE AGENCY WHEN AVAILABLE.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov (http://www.safercar.gov).

I had this happen on my 2013 MKS. Turned the car off and back on a few times and it was still showing audio off and I could not turn it on. I let it sit for about 30 minutes while I get ready to get back in the car to leave and it was working the next time I started it. Thats the only time I had this issue. Not sure if its the same problem described here.

Thoroughly premix the gasoline engine oil leak detection dye or it will not have enough time to reach the crankcase, oil galleries and seal surfaces during this particular 15 minute test. The additive must be mixed well with oil and added through the oil fill. Check the level on the oil level indicator to determine what amount of oil to premix. If it is in the middle of the crosshatch area or below the full mark, use 0.95L (1 qt). If it is at the full mark, use 0.47L (1/2 qt).
3. Run the engine for 15 minutes. Stop the engine and inspect the RH and LH turbocharger oil supply tubes for leaks using the 12 Volt Master UV Diagnostic Inspection Kit 164-R0756 or equivalent (Leak Detector). A clear bright yellow or orange area will identify the leak. See Figure 1.
NOTE: The LH turbocharger oil supply tube can be inspected from above, and the RH turbocharger oil supply tube must be inspected from below with the vehicle positioned on a hoist.
• If a leak is found at either turbocharger oil supply tube, replace the tube. Please follow the procedures in WSM Section 303-04.
• If a leak is not found, verify the oil level is within the upper and lower oil indicator marks.
Remove oil if it registers above the full mark. No additional service is required.

Now happening on the SHO? Jeez!
everyone said they never seen it on a sho but actuator stuck closed and a trip to the dealer
interesting note
the original one you could see the gold galvanized blade nut on the side. i tried to use a crescent wrench to free it when i was stuck along the road
the replacement is a sealed unit-
The TB motor has been known to die on occasion. That plate is like a snapping turtle, care must be exercised if the TB is electrically connected.

That code also comes up as faulty wiring or a shorted throttle body wiring harness and even a bad pcm.
I remember you having problems with flashing the car and the ecu locking up.
Seems wierd that the throttle body blade seized up after all this time...you can usually push the throttle blade open with your finger...its just a plate on a shaft in a hole
What R U talking about ? that throttle blade will sever your finger right off if not disconnected properly and would advise caution.
It could also be a faulty electrical connector. Z

Sometimes i wonder what planet you are from...it wont sever your finger
Im just saying if you took off the pipe and looked at the closed throttle blade you can easily push it with your finger if you were seeing if it was stuck
Zsho, are you the type of person that thinks it's appropriate that the car mfg's are required to tell people that the commercials are filmed on a closed course and should not be attempted?
You are not suppose to intervene with natural selection...if someone is dumb enough to do something that harms them then it was suppose to happen...you may be keeping people alive that shouldnt be
what's wrong with advising caution!!!! It will sever your finger off if precautionary measures are not taken that's all.
I think you need to move on my friend. Z
A lot of people never get into the knitty gritty of the mechanicals of their cars. Many are simply not uptodate on the technology. Doesn't make them dumb or foolhardy.

If a touch condition exists, replace the brake pedal assembly.
Safety Recall 17S23 – Electronic Power Assist Steering Heat Shield Fastener Inspection – 2017 Ford Explorer & Taurus
August 28, 2017 NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V530000
Loss of Power Assisted Steering
If the heat shield detaches, the steering gear may overheat, increasing the steering effort required by the driver, especially at lower speeds, and increasing the risk of a crash.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V530000
Manufacturer Ford Motor Company
Components STEERING
Potential Number of Units Affected 253
Summary
In some of the affected vehicles, the fasteners used to secure the electronic power assist steering (EPAS) heat shield may not have sufficient corrosion protection. If the fasteners do not have sufficient corrosion protection, they may not retain the heat shield over time, exposing the steering gear to higher than expected temperatures. If the steering gear connectors melt, the driver may experience loss of assist accompanied by the fault message "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" in the instrument cluster. Loss of power steering assist while driving would result in higher steering efforts, especially at lower speeds.
Remedy
Ford will notify owners, and dealers to inspect and replace the heat shield fasteners as needed, free of charge. The recall began on September 13, 2017. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 17S23.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov (http://www.safercar.gov).

Is this something to be concerned about? I just recently started getting this code... Do I need to visit a dealer?

You certainly could take it to the dealer, but I would clear codes and KAM first, see if the code(s) return. If they do and you are up to it, run the tests as indicated per the attachment in this post. If there is no result, or no visual indication of wiring issues, take it to the dealer.

The code is for the upstream sensor, so probably not. The upstream sensors are known to fail periodically though. Mostly bank 2 sometimes bank 1.

If the 02 sensor is detecting a lean/rich condition by the ECM it should be the UP-STREAM Wide-Band 02's IMO! The 02 sensor is not giving the fuel control closed loop control it needs to control the fuel correctly! Please Correct me if i'm wrong. Z
