Summary

Some 2021 F-150 vehicles equipped with 2.7L, 3.3L, 3.5L and 5.0L engines vehicles may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator (MIL) with diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) P0230 and P27B2 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) while in transport mode. These DTCs can set together if the vehicle is driven over 45mph for greater than 60 seconds while in transport mode. If both DTC P0230 and P27B2 are present, clear the DTCs, and deactivate transport mode per the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 419-10 > General Procedures. If the DTCs return, refer to the WSM for normal diagnostics. For claiming, use causal part 12A650 and applicable labor times in section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
