Bulletin Summary

2017-2020 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 3.5L engine and a 10R80 transmission may experience an error message while performing Transmission Characterization/Solenoid IDN with IDS v122.05 or v122.06 stating "Unable To Communicate With The Module". This is due to an issue with the Transmission Characterization/Solenoid IDN tool in IDS v122.05 and v122.06. To resolve the issue, uninstall IDS from the computer. Then, run the IDS clean up utility tool, located on PTS > Rotunda Tab > Diagnostic Tool Support > IDS Support > IDS troubleshooting guide. Next, install IDS v123.01 (123_FULL) and retry the Transmission Characterization/Solenoid IDN tool using IDS level v123.01.

About Technical Service Bulletins

A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
