2010 FORD SUPER DUTY light

•On F-Super Duty vehicles (6.4L engine),a frame-mounted
Horizontal Fuel Conditioner Module (HFCM)
•an engine-mounted secondary fuel filter
•a unit injector for each cylinder
The FCM/HFCM acts as a primary fuel filter/water separator which
removes both water and impurities from the fuel. The engine mounted
filter filters finer impurities from the diesel fuel. The engine-mounted
fuel filter and the FCM/HFCM filter should be changed at the
recommended service interval. Refer to thescheduled maintenance
informationin this supplement for more information.
F-Super Duty
E-Series
The FCM/HFCM should be drained at regular intervals or when the
WATER IN FUEL light illuminates in the instrument cluster.
The fuel injectors are located in the center of the combustion chambers
in the cylinder head between the rocker arm assemblies. The glow plug
system and fuel injection system are controlled through the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM) (6.0L
engine only).
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by a frame-mounted electric fuel pump.
The fuel pump provides pressurized fuel to the engine and is
electronically controlled by the fuel pump PCM relay. The fuel pump
contains a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event
of restricted flow.
Engine protection mode
Ford diesel engines are equipped with engine protection and emission
control systems. These systems monitor critical temperatures and
pressures, and modify engine operation accordingly. These features are
intended to modify engine performance characteristics. If these modified
engine performance characteristics persist for an extended period or the
service engine soon
or powertrain malfunction/reduced
power/electronic throttle control light
is illuminated, seek service
from your authorized dealer.

Glow plug pre-heat indicator:
With the key in the on position,
the
light will illuminate if glow
plug heat is necessary as a starting aid. Wait until the light goes off
before starting. Refer toCold weather startingin theDrivingchapter
of this supplement. After the engine starts, the light should turn on. The
light should always illuminate at least momentarily when the engine is
cold and the ignition is turned to on. If it does not illuminate, the glow
plug system should be checked and repaired promptly to avoid difficulty
in cold starting.
Water in fuel:
F-Super Duty
E-Series
During refueling, it is possible for water-contaminated diesel fuel to be
pumped into your tank. Your vehicle’s fuel system is equipped with a fuel
filter/water separator to remove water from the fuel. The water in fuel
light will illuminate when the FCM/HFCM has a significant quantity of
water in it.
If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, shut off the engine, then drain the FCM/HFCM.
Refer toDraining the FCM/HFCM and changing the fuel filtersin the
Maintenance and Specificationschapter of this supplement for the
drain procedure. Allowing water to stay in the system could result in
extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection system.
WARNING:Do not drain the water separator while the engine is
running. Fuel may ignite if the separator is drained while the
engine is running or the vehicle is moving.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Changing to a lighter grade engine oil also makes starting easier under
these conditions. Refer toEngine oil specificationsin theMaintenance
and Specificationschapter of this supplement.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperatures. Diesel fuel which
has not been properly formulated for the ambient conditions may form
wax crystals which can clog the fuel filter. At temperatures below 20°F
(–7°C), if the engine starts, stalls after a short time, and then will not
restart, the fuel filter(s) may be clogged. For best results in cold
weather, use a diesel fuel which has been formulated for the ambient
conditions. If you have been using biodiesel, you may need to use a fuel
with lower biodiesel content, try another brand, or discontinue using
biodiesel.
Your vehicle is equipped with either an FCM or HFCM which recirculates
fuel from the engine to help prevent fuel filter clogging. Your vehicle is
also equipped with a bypass relief valve, located in the fuel tank pick-up
boot, which provides fuel flow to the engine if the fuel pickup should
become plugged. To allow the bypass valve to function and avoid engine
fuel starvation during cold weather operation of 32°F (0°C) or below, it
is recommended that the fuel level in your tank should not be allowed to
drop below
14full. This will help prevent air from entering the fuel
system and stalling the engine.
In cold weather below 32°F (0°C), the engine will slowly increase to a
higher idle speed if left idling in P (Park). As the engine warms-up, the
engine sound level will decrease due to the activation of PCM-controlled
sound reduction features.
If your vehicle is operated in a heavy snow storm or blowing snow
conditions, the engine air induction may become partially clogged with
snow and/or ice. If this occurs, the engine may experience a significant
reduction in power output. At the earliest opportunity, clear all the snow
and/or ice away from inside the air filter assembly. Take the top off the
assembly, leaving the air filter in, and remove any snow or ice.
In order to operate the engine in temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or lower,
read the following instructions:
•Make sure that the batteries are of sufficient size and are fully
charged. Check other electrical components to make sure they are in
optimum condition.
•Use Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant solution at the concentration
recommended to protect the engine against damage from freezing.
•Try to keep the fuel tank full as much as possible at the end of
operation to prevent condensation in the fuel system.

jumper stud.
4. Check the assisting vehicle battery terminals and the positive (+)
jumper stud and remove any excessive corrosion before you attach the
battery cables. Ensure that accessible vent caps are tight and level.
5. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any electrical
surges. Turn all other accessories off.
Connecting the jumper cables
1. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) jumper stud
located on the passenger side frame rail of the disabled vehicle.

ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal. When washing:
•Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
•Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the
engine block or other engine components.
•Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser (ZC-20) on all parts
that require cleaning and pressure rinse clean.
•Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the
running engine may cause internal damage.
•Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning
the engine.
