Summary
This article supersedes TSB 20-2013 to update the description of Labor Operation D.
Issue:
Some 2013-2018 F-150/Expedition/Navigator vehicles equipped with four-wheel drive (4WD) may exhibit an intermittent grinding noise while driving in two-wheel drive (2WD) mode most commonly on acceleration. This may be due to a loss of vacuum to the integrated wheel end (IWE) actuators and/or wear of the IWE components. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to reprogram the transfer case control module (TCCM) and replace any worn vacuum and/or IWE components.
Action:
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition on vehicles that meet the following criteria:
•
2013-2018 F-150/Expedition/Navigator
•
Equipped with 4WD
•
Customer concern of intermittent grinding noise in 2WD mode

1. Is the vehicle a 2017-2018 F-150 or 2018 Expedition/Navigator built on or before 17-Sept-2018?
(1). Yes - reprogram the TCCM using the latest version of the appropriate Ford scan tool. Proceed to Step 2.
• Note: The new TCCM calibration changes IWE operation at start up. When ambient temperature is above 0°C (32°F) the IWEs stay engaged regardless of a 4WD mode selection for approximately 0.8 km (0.5 miles). IWE engagement only occurs once per key cycle and is not reset when shifting between PARK and DRIVE. The TCCM uses this strategy to delay vacuum use until vacuum-intensive engine startup has completed and sufficient vacuum is available to fully disengage IWEs.
(2). No - proceed to Step 2.
2. Inspect the IWE vacuum hoses. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 308-07A. Are there any disconnected or damaged vacuum hoses? (Figure 1)
(1). Yes - reconnect or replace the vacuum hose as required. Refer to WSM, Section 308-07A.
(2). No - proceed to Step 3.
Figure 1
3. Replace the vacuum check valve located near the vacuum reservoir. Refer to WSM, Section 308-07A.
4. Disconnect the vacuum line to the IWEs at the vacuum solenoid.
5. Connect a hand vacuum pump to the IWE vacuum supply line and apply 508 mm-Hg (20 in-Hg) of vacuum. Does the vacuum drop more than 12.5 mm-Hg (0.5 in-Hg) per minute? (Figure 2)
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 6.
(2). No - connect the IWE vacuum supply line to the solenoid and proceed to Step 10.
Figure 2
6. Using a hand vacuum pump, apply 508 mm-Hg (20 in-Hg) of vacuum to each IWE, one at a time, and monitor the vacuum gauge. Does the vacuum drop more than 12 mm-Hg (0.5 in-Hg) per minute? (Figure 3)
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 8.
(2). No - proceed to Step 7.
7. Replace the vacuum lines between the solenoid and IWEs. Refer to the WSM, Section 308-07A. Proceed to Step 12.
8. Remove the IWE assembly from the affected wheel. Refer to WSM, Section 308-07A.
9. Inspect the wheel bearing splines for damage or excessive wear. Are the wheel bearing splines damaged or showing signs of excessive wear?
(1). Yes - replace the IWE assembly and wheel bearing. Refer to WSM, Section 308-07A and 204-01B. Proceed to Step 12.
(2). No - replace the IWE assembly. Refer to WSM, Section 308-07A. Proceed to Step 12.
10. Test the IWE vacuum supply lines.
(1). Disconnect the vacuum supply line at the left or right IWE and connect a vacuum gauge to the supply line as shown in Figure 4.
(2). Start the engine and allow it to idle for 5 minutes to build vacuum.
(3). Connect the appropriate Ford scan tool and enter TCCM datalogger.
(4). Active command the vacuum solenoid.
• IDS Vehicles: Command IWE_OS # to No.
• FDRS Vehicles: Command IWE_OUT_ENGAGED = No (False).
(5). Repeat this test on the opposite IWE vacuum supply line.
Figure 4
11. Is the vacuum at both left and right supply lines greater than 254 mm-Hg (10 in-Hg)?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 12.
(2). No - replace the vacuum lines between the solenoid and IWEs. Refer to the WSM, Section 308-07A. Proceed to Step 12.
12. Road test the vehicle for noise by performing heavy accelerations in 2WD. Engage the 4WD system to verify proper engagement/disengagement quality. Is a grinding noise present in 2WD mode that is not present in 4WD mode?
- NOTE: When ambient temperature is above 0°C (32°F) the IWEs stay engaged regardless of a 4WD mode selection for approximately 0.8 km (0.5 miles).
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 13.
(2). No - repair is complete.
13. Remove the IWE assembly from the affected wheel. Refer to WSM, Section 308-07A.
14. Inspect the wheel bearing splines. Are the wheel bearing splines damaged or showing signs of excessive wear?
(1). Yes - replace the IWE clutch ring and wheel bearing. Refer to WSM, Section 308-07A and 204-01B.
(2). No - replace the IWE clutch ring. Refer to WSM, Section 308-07A.
