This article supersedes TSB 06-22-3 to update the Service Procedure.

ISSUE:

Some vehicles equipped with a 6.0L diesel engine may experience white smoke, lack of power, exhaust odor, surges, running rough, or no start when cold. These conditions are caused by the injector spool valve sticking internally during cold engine operation (engine oil temperature (EOT) less than 70 °F ( 21 °C)) . The concern is typically evident following a cold start after an overnight soak at ambient temperatures below 70 °F (21 °C). and may last 3-5 minutes or longer as the vehicle warms up. The concern completely disappears after driving and the EOT is greater than 150 °F (66 °C). This concern typically occurs on vehicles with greater than 15,000 miles (24,140 Km/h).
ACTION:

Diagnose and address any warm driveability issues or hard fault diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) prior to performing this TSB. Then if cold driveability symptoms still exist use the following Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE



This procedure includes a FICM calibration that adds inductive heating of the injector coils to locally heat the oil in the injector to normal operating temperatures very rapidly and keep it hot until normal overall engine oil temperature is achieved. This will prevent cold spool valve sticking on all injectors. Therefore, it will not be necessary to replace fuel injectors for the cold driveability symptoms listed in this TSB.
<TABLE border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=80>NOTE:</TD><TD>DO NOT USE CLICK TEST OR POWER BALANCE TO IDENTIFY COLD INJECTOR PERFORMANCE ISSUES, BECAUSE THE INDUCTIVE HEATING STRATEGY IS NOT ACTIVE DURING THESE TESTS. INJECTORS WHICH DO NOT RESPOND IN CLICK TEST OR POWER BALANCE WILL RESPOND IN NORMAL RUN MODE WITH THE INDUCTIVE HEAT CALIBRATION</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Inductive heat is active in Key On Engine Run (KOER) mode below 2500 RPM. It is tapered out from 131-167 °F (55-75 °C) EOT, and is fully deactivated above 185 °F (85 °C) EOT.
<TABLE border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=80>NOTE:</TD><TD>IF THE VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH OR HAS A MISFIRE WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE, DIAGNOSE THOSE CONCERNS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS TSB.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

This updated calibration strategy is a greater improvement than the previous post-cycle Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM) software release that cycled the injectors after shutdown (TSB 06-22-3). This strategy will eliminate the need to post-cycle the injector spool valves, and as a result will also eliminate the need to perform the E-Series wiring modification. The strategy achieves rapid heating of the oil in the injector through inductive heating of the injector coils. The Customer Information Sheet that was included with TSB 06-22-3 is no longer necessary.
Customers who receive this new calibration after previously having received the post-cycle calibration (described in 06-22-3) will notice the buzzing noise at shutdown has been eliminated. This is normal, as the post-cycle is no longer needed with inductive heating. Additionally, for E-Series there is no need to remove wiring modifications that were previously performed per TSB 06-22-3. Unmodified E-Series vehicles will NOT need the wiring modification with this calibration.

Using Module Reprogramming: FICM menu in IDS, reprogram the FICM to the latest calibration using IDS release 47.8 and higher or 48.2 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2007.3 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com (http://www.motorcraft.com).
If the customer previously had the Post Cycle calibration, notify them they will no longer hear the injector cycling after engine shutdown.WARRANTY STATUS:

Any feedback on how people like this one so far?

I havent done the injector cycling, but it sure cackles on cold mornings when I fire it. Always runs, but I wont drive it until it gets warm

I did it to one truck so far. I need to do it to mine.

I am deploying on Wed, so the truck will be parked for a while, but I'll probably have it done when I come back. Looking forward to hear how it works out

Any customer feed back on this yet, just wondering if it is something I should look at getting done. No real big issues now, little white smoke, but not much else. Was thinking of injector longevity in getting the flash done.

Coming at you from across the globe LOL

Got to love technology!

What do you think so far? I hear people like this flash

can you believe the frigging dealer wants to charge me for this? 50k with a 36extended on a 2004

It should be covered under the emmisions warranty. Since the processor is part of the emmisions system. Much like the catalyst and the egr.

my 36 extended has 100 deductible, thats what they want..is this a 5year/100k thing?

ohh, also these fucks said that only the "brand new" trucks have the 5 year 100k.....not mine when i bought it...thus needing the 36 extended...i bought it for the trans and diffs too though

Ask them for the warranty administration guide for your model year emissions warranty.
