2013 FORD SUPER DUTY warning light

Diesel Exhaust Fluid
With the key in the on position, this
light will illuminate if the exhaust
fluid is contaminated and/or low.
SeeDiesel exhaust fluidin theFuel and Refuelingchapter for more
information.
Glow Plug Pre-Heat
With the key in the on position, this
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
theStarting and Stopping the Enginechapter of this supplement.
After the engine starts, the light should turn off. The light should always
illuminate at least momentarily when the engine is cold and the ignition
is turned to on.
Water In Fuel
WARNING:Do not drain the DFCM while the engine is running.
Fuel may ignite if the separator is drained while the engine is
running or the vehicle is moving.
Note:Air will enter into the fuel system if the DFCM is drained while
the system is running. The engine will not operate properly if air enters
the system.
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 DFCM 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 DFCM. Refer
toFuel filter/water separatorin theFuel and refuelingchapter 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.

FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR
Diesel Fuel Conditioner Module (DFCM)
The vehicle is equipped with a diesel fuel conditioning module (DFCM)
located on the frame-rail under the driver-side floorboard near the
transmission
Water should be drained from the
module assembly whenever the
warning light comes on and the
message center directs you to drain the water separator. This will occur
when approximately 0.32 pints (150 ml) of water accumulates in the
module. If water level is allowed to exceed this level, the water may be
passed through to the engine and may cause fuel injection equipment
damage.
Draining the DFCM
WARNING:The vehicle must be stopped with the engine off
when draining the DFCM. Fuel may ignite if the separator is
drained while the engine is running or vehicle is moving.
Note:Air will enter into the fuel system if the DFCM is drained while
the system is running. The engine will not operate properly if air enters
the system.
Note:With fuel tank levels above
34tank it may be necessary to loosen
the bowl 3 turns before opening the drain. This will actuate an
anti-siphon valve at the DFCM inlet and prevent the fuel from siphoning
out of the tank.
Note:A loose drain valve can allow air to enter the fuel system and
cause drivetrain issues. The engine will not operate properly. Be sure
that the drain valve is fully tightened.
1. Stop the vehicle andshut offthe engine.
2. Locate the DFCM and place an appropriate container under the drain
port (see illustration).

OCR precautions and safe exhaust position
WARNING:Failure to comply with the following instructions for
operator commanded regeneration (OCR) may result in fire,
serious injury, death and/or property damage.
Before you start OCR, observe/do the following:
•Place the vehicle in P (Park) with the parking brake set on stable,
level ground.
•The vehicle must not be parked in a structure.
•The vehicle must be 10 – 15 feet (3 – 5 meters) away from any
obstructions,
•and must be away from materials that can easily combust or melt such
as: paper, leaves, petroleum products, fuels, plastics and other dry
organic material, such as grass.
•Make sure there is a minimum of 1/8 tank of fuel.
•Make sure all fluids are at proper levels.
Make sure that the louvers (holes) located at the tip of the exhaust are
also clear of any obstructions as they are used to introduce fresh air into
the tailpipe to cool the exhaust gas as it leaves. SeeExhaustunder the
Cleaningchapter for more information.
How to start operator commanded regeneration (OCR)
WARNING:Stay clear of exhaust tip during regeneration. You or
others can be burned.
Note:OCR will not be allowed until DPF load percentage has reached
100% (Full). The DPF load percentage will fluctuate up and down when
driving your vehicle due to active and passive regenerations.
Note:During the use of OCR, you may observe a light amount of white
smoke. This is normal.
OCR will not be allowed to operate
if the service engine soon light is
illuminated

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM(S) LAWS
WARNING:Do not remove or alter the original equipment floor
covering or insulation between it and the metal floor of the
vehicle. The floor covering and insulation protect occupants of the
vehicle from the engine and exhaust system heat and noise. On
vehicles with no original equipment floor covering insulation, do not
carry passengers in a manner that permits prolonged skin contact with
the metal floor. Provide adequate insulation. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in fire or personal injury.
In the U.S. federal law and certain state laws prohibit removing or
rendering inoperative emission control system(s). Similar federal or
provincial laws may apply in Canada. Ford recommends against any
vehicle modification without determining applicable law.
Tampering with emissions control
systems (including related sensors
and the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)
injection system) can result in reduced engine power and the
illumination of the service engine soon light.
NOISE EMISSIONS WARRANTY, PROHIBITED TAMPERING ACTS
AND MAINTENANCE
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulation became effective governing the
noise emission on trucks over 10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating). The following statements concerning prohibited
tampering acts and maintenance, and the noise warranty found in the
Warranty Guide, are applicable to complete chassis cabs over
10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR.
Tampering with noise control system prohibited
Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The
removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes
of maintenance, repair or replacement of any device or element of design
incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior
to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or
(2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has
been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

Adding engine coolant
WARNING:Do not add coolant when the engine is hot. Steam and
scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system can burn you
badly. Also, you can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
WARNING:Do not put coolant in the windshield washer fluid
container. If sprayed on the windshield, coolant could make it
difficult to see through the windshield.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the
engine is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap.
The cooling system(s) are under pressure; steam and hot liquid can
come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.
WARNING:Do not add coolant further than the MAX mark.
Note:Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling system sealants or unapproved
additives as they can cause damage to the engine cooling and/or heating
systems. This damage would not be covered under your vehicle’s warranty.
Note:During normal vehicle operation, the engine coolant may change
color from orange to pink or light red. If the engine coolant is clear and
uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the engine coolant
has degraded nor does it require the engine coolant to be drained, the
system to be flushed, or the engine coolant to be replaced.
•DO NOT MIX different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Only
use prediluted engine coolant that meets Ford specification . Mixing of
engine coolants may harm your engine’s cooling system. The use of an
improper coolant may harm engine and cooling system components
and may void the warranty.
•In case of emergency, a large amount of water without engine coolant
may be added in order to reach a vehicle service location. In this
instance, the cooling system must be drained, chemically cleaned, and
refilled with engine coolant as soon as possible per the instructions in
the Workshop Manual. Water alone (without engine coolant) can cause
engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.DO NOTuse
this method for the secondary cooling system. The secondary cooling
system operates close to ambient temperature, and is susceptible to
freezing in any subfreezing environment, in the absence of coolant.

MINOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Air purge procedure
Turn the key on for 30 seconds, then turn off. Repeat the procedure six
times.
If the engine won’t crank
WARNING:Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds.Wash hands after handling.
Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim, do not go on at all or when
the ignition is turned to START the lights become dim or go out, the
battery connections may be loose or corroded, or the battery may be
discharged. If there is a clicking or stuttering sound coming from the
engine compartment when you turn the key to START, this may also
indicate a loose or corroded battery connection.
Check the battery connections at the battery posts, cable connection to
the engine grounding point and at the starter connection.
If a discharged battery is suspected, have it checked and corrected.
•The gearshift lever must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) in order for
the starter to operate.
•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 Manual.
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.
