Platform recipes (4)
- CP4.2 cascade protocol for the 3.0L EcoDiesel (mode fm-r150e-cp4-hpfp): P0087 family codes, hard start, metal in the system
- DEF system job for the 3.0L EcoDiesel (mode fm-r150e-def-heater): 'SERVICE DEF SYSTEM - ENGINE WILL NOT RESTART IN 200 MI' cycle, stuck gauge, cold-weather faults
- EGR cooler job for the 3.0L EcoDiesel (mode fm-r150e-egr-cooler): coolant loss with no visible leak, white smoke
- Stall / no-start job for the 3.0L EcoDiesel (mode fm-r150e-crank-tone-wheel): the crankshaft tone wheel delaminates and drops sync (recalls 20V-475 / 23V-411)
