Summary
Some 2023-2025 F-Super Duty vehicles may exhibit multiple warning indicators with DTCs U0252, U0137, U0199, U0438 stored in the body control module (BCM), image processing module A (IPMA), power steering control module (PSCM), instrument panel cluster (IPC) and/or inoperative power windows and locks. This may be due to an incorrectly tightened ground 201 (G201). Inspect G201 for proper connection, locating tab insertion, and tighten to 8 Nm (6 lb-ft). If the condition remains after tightening G201, continue with normal Workshop Manual diagnostics outside of this article. For claiming, use causal part 14A005 and labor operation MT14A005SSM up to 1.0 hours.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 64 complaints in the electrical category.
