2012 FORD SUPER DUTY jump start

JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
The 6.7 diesel engine can be jump started using the same procedure as a
gasoline engine. Use the primary battery (battery located on the
passenger side) for any jump starting procedure and refer to your
Owner’s Guidefor the proper method of jump starting.
RUNNING OUT OF DEF (DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID)
If your vehicle runs out of DEF, it will enter into a speed limited mode
and can also enter into an idle-only mode. Normal vehicle operation will
not resume until DEF is refilled. See theSelective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) Systemsection in theMaintenance and Specificationschapter
for more information.
Contact roadside assistance for help in finding a retailer that sells DEF.
See theCustomer Assistancechapter in theOwner’s Guidefor more
information.

•Try operating the starter switch several times. Should the switch be
corroded, this operation may clean the contacts or make the switch
temporarily operable until you can reach the dealer.
•If all electrical connections are tight and you need assistance to start,
refer toJump startingin theRoadside Emergencieschapter of your
Owner’s Guide.
If engine cranks but won’t start
Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10 seconds) could cause
damage to the starter motor.
•Check the fuel gauge. You may be out of fuel. If the gauge shows that
there is fuel in the tank, the trouble may be in the electrical system or
the fuel system. If equipped with an auxiliary tank, be sure that the
tank control switch is set for the tank with fuel and not on an empty
tank.
•Leaving the ignition key turned to on for over two minutes without
starting may make starting difficult because the glow plugs will cease
activation. Reset the system by turning the ignition key to off and
then back to on again.
If the engine runs hot
The following could cause the engine to overheat:
•Lack of coolant.
•Dirty cooling system.
•Plugged radiator fins, A/C condenser and/or oil cooler.
•Malfunctioning fan drive.
•Driving with frozen coolant.
•Sticking thermostat.
•Overloading or pulling heavy trailers during hot weather.
•Grill or radiator air blockage.
•Slipping or missing drive belt.
•Plugged or very dirty air filter.
