If these modified engine performancecharacteristics persist for an extendedperiod and either the service engine soonor powertrain malfunction, reduced power,electronic throttle control light isilluminated, have the system checked byan authorized dealer.
Service engine soon
Powertrain malfunction, reducedpower, electronic throttle control
Diesel Lubrication System
It is important to change the engine oil atthe recommended service intervals orwhen indicated by the information displayto maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oiland filter change interval beyond therecommended interval can negativelyaffect engine performance, fuel economyand engine life. See Engine Oil Check(page 227).
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains a primarycooling loop to cool the engine and asecondary cooling loop to cool thetransmission, charge air, and fuel. Thecoolant serves three primary purposes: toprovide heat transfer, freeze pointprotection, and corrosion protection usingadditives.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically areused to carry heavy loads and accumulatemileage rapidly. These two factors maycause the additives in the coolant to wearout in a shorter time. You can find moreinformation about coolant additives andcoolant change intervals in the coolantchapter. See General MaintenanceInformation (page 325). Operating theengine with insufficient coolant or coolantadditive can cause severe engine damage.
Selective catalytic reduction system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selectivecatalytic reduction system designed toreduce emission levels of nitrogen oxidesfrom the exhaust of your diesel engine. Thissystem relies on the use of Diesel ExhaustFluid (DEF) that you must replenish atcertain intervals. Failure to maintain properDEF levels or if the DEF becomescontaminated will result in vehicle speedlimitations or result in your vehicle enteringan idle-only mode. See SelectiveCatalytic Reductant System (page 120).
Minor Troubleshooting Guide
If the engine won’t crank
WARNING: Battery posts,terminals and related accessoriescontain lead and lead compounds. Washhands after handling.
Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim,do not go on at all or when the ignition isturned to the start position, the lightsbecome dim or go out, the batteryconnections may be loose or corroded, orthe battery may be discharged. If there isa clicking or stuttering sound coming fromthe engine compartment when you turnthe key to the start position, this may alsoindicate a loose or corroded batteryconnection.
Check the battery connections at thebattery posts, cable connection to theengine grounding point and at the starterconnection.
If you suspect a discharged battery, haveit checked and corrected.

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure. At normaloperating temperature, the level indicatoris in the normal range. If the pressure gaugefalls below the normal range, stop yourvehicle, switch off the engine and checkthe engine oil level. Add oil if needed. If theoil level is correct, have your vehiclechecked by an authorized dealer.
Engine Coolant TemperatureGauge
WARNING: Do not remove thecoolant reservoir cap when the engine ison or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10minutes for the cooling system to cooldown. Cover the coolant reservoir capwith a thick cloth to prevent thepossibility of scalding and slowly removethe cap. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in personal injury.
Indicates engine coolant temperature. Atnormal operating temperature, the levelindicator is in the normal range. If theengine coolant temperature exceeds thenormal range, stop your vehicle as soon aspossible, switch off the engine and let theengine cool.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates about how muchfuel is in the fuel tank.
The arrow adjacent to the fuel pumpsymbol indicates on which side of yourvehicle the fuel filler door is located.
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightlywhen your vehicle is moving or on a slope.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel level reminder displays andsounds when the distance to emptyreaches 50 mi (80 km),25 mi (40 km),10 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km) for allvehicle keys.
Note:The low fuel reminder can appear atdifferent fuel gauge positions depending onfuel economy conditions. This variation isnormal.
Distance to Empty
Indicates the approximate distance yourvehicle can travel on the fuel remaining inthe tank. Changes in driving pattern cancause the value to not only decrease butalso increase or stay constant for periodsof time.
Configurable Gauge
Transmission Fluid Temperature Gauge
Indicates transmission fluid temperature.At normal operating temperature, the levelindicator is in the normal range. If thetransmission fluid temperature exceedsthe normal range, stop your vehicle as soonas possible and verify the airflow is notrestricted by snow or debris blockingairflow through the grille.
Special operating conditions such assnowplowing, towing, or off-road use maycause higher than normal operatingtemperatures. See Special OperatingConditions Scheduled Maintenance(page 335).
To lower the transmission temperatureinto the normal range, alter the severity ofyour driving conditions. Operating thetransmission for extended periods with thegauge in the higher than normal area maycause internal transmission damage. If thegauge continues to show hightemperatures, see an authorized dealer.

Illumination of the service engine soonindicator, charging system warning light orthe temperature warning light, fluid leaks,strange odors, smoke or loss of enginepower could indicate that the emissioncontrol system is not working properly.
An improperly operating or damagedexhaust system may allow exhaust toenter the vehicle. Have a damaged orimproperly operating exhaust systeminspected and repaired immediately.
Do not make any unauthorized changes toyour vehicle or engine. By law, vehicleowners and anyone who manufactures,repairs, services, sells, leases, tradesvehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehiclesare not permitted to intentionally removean emission control device or prevent itfrom working. Information about yourvehicle’s emission system is on the VehicleEmission Control Information Decallocated on or near the engine. This decalalso lists engine displacement.
Please consult your warranty informationfor complete details.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)
Your vehicle has a computer known as theon-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) thatmonitors the engine’s emission controlsystem. The system protects theenvironment by making sure that yourvehicle continues to meet governmentemission standards. The OBD-II systemalso assists a service technician in properlyservicing your vehicle.
When the service engine soonindicator illuminates, the OBD-IIsystem has detected amalfunction. Temporary malfunctions maycause the service engine soon indicator toilluminate. Examples are:
1.Your vehicle has run out of fuel—theengine may misfire or run poorly.
2.Poor fuel quality or water in thefuel—the engine may misfire or runpoorly.
3.The fuel fill inlet may not have closedproperly. See Refueling (page 112).
4.Driving through deep water—theelectrical system may be wet.
You can correct these temporarymalfunctions by filling the fuel tank withgood quality fuel, properly closing the fuelfill inlet or letting the electrical system dryout. After three driving cycles without theseor any other temporary malfunctionspresent, the service engine soon indicatorshould stay off the next time you start theengine. A driving cycle consists of a coldengine startup followed by mixed city andhighway driving. No additional vehicleservice is required.
If the service engine soon indicator remainson, have your vehicle serviced at the firstavailable opportunity. Although somemalfunctions detected by the OBD-II maynot have symptoms that are apparent,continued driving with the service enginesoon indicator on can result in increasedemissions, lower fuel economy, reducedengine and transmission smoothness andlead to more costly repairs.
Readiness for Inspection andMaintenance (I/M) Testing
Some state and provincial and localgovernments may haveInspection/Maintenance (I/M) programsto inspect the emission control equipmenton your vehicle. Failure to pass thisinspection could prevent you from gettinga vehicle registration.
If the service engine soonindicator is on or the bulb doesnot work, your vehicle may needservice. See On-Board Diagnostics.

2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-PrintingEngine Emission ControlE67028 E67028
Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test ifthe service engine soon indicator is on ornot working properly (bulb is burned out),or if the OBD-II system has determinedthat some of the emission control systemshave not been properly checked. In thiscase, the vehicle is not ready for I/Mtesting.
If the vehicle’s engine or transmission hasjust been serviced, or the battery hasrecently run down or been replaced, theOBD-II system may indicate that thevehicle is not ready for I/M testing. Todetermine if the vehicle is ready for I/Mtesting, turn the ignition key to the onposition for 15 seconds without crankingthe engine. If the service engine soonindicator blinks eight times, it means thatthe vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; ifthe service engine soon indicator stays onsolid, it means that your vehicle is readyfor I/M testing.
The OBD-II system checks the emissioncontrol system during normal driving. Acomplete check may take several days.
If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing,you can perform the following driving cycleconsisting of mixed city and highwaydriving:
1.15 minutes of steady driving on anexpressway or highway followed by 20minutes of stop-and-go driving with atleast four 30-second idle periods.
2.Allow your vehicle to sit for at leasteight hours with the ignition off. Then,start the vehicle and complete theabove driving cycle. The vehicle mustwarm up to its normal operatingtemperature. Once started, do not turnoff the vehicle until the above drivingcycle is complete.
If the vehicle is still not ready for I/Mtesting, you need to repeat the abovedriving cycle.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTANT SYSTEM - DIESEL
Your vehicle may have a selective catalyticreduction system. This system helpsreduce emission levels of oxides ofnitrogen from the exhaust system. Thesystem automatically injects dieselexhaust fluid into the exhaust system toenable correct selective catalytic reductionsystem function.
Note:Selective catalytic reduction systemsare not fitted to vehicles in markets whereonly high-sulfur diesel fuel is available.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level
In order for the system to operate correctlyyou must maintain the diesel exhaust fluidlevel.
The system has a sensor to monitor fluidlevel and quality/concentration. A warningmessage appears in the informationdisplay when the diesel exhaust fluid levelis low. If a warning message appears, refillthe diesel exhaust fluid tank as soon aspossible. See Information Messages(page 75).
Filling the Diesel Exhaust FluidTank
WARNING: Keep diesel exhaustfluid out of reach of children. Avoidcontact with skin, eyes or clothing. Incase of contact with your eyes, flushimmediately with water and get promptmedical attention. In case of contactwith your skin, clean immediately withsoap and water. If you swallow anydiesel exhaust fluid, drink plenty ofwater, call a physician immediately.

9.Start your vehicle.
Perform Steps 4 through 8 in reverse order,making sure to engage the hinge pivotsbetween the upper and lower halves of theshroud. Keep slight pressure in the forwarddirection as you rotate the halves together.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mudor Snow
Note:Do not rock your vehicle if the engineis not at normal operating temperature ordamage to the transmission could occur.
Note:Do not rock your vehicle for morethan a minute or damage to thetransmission and tires could occur, or theengine could overheat.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, youcould rock it out by shifting betweenforward and reverse gears, stoppingbetween shifts in a steady pattern. Presslightly on the accelerator in each gear.
POWER TAKE-OFF (IF EQUIPPED)
Auxiliary equipment called power take-off,or PTO, is often added to the engine ortransmission to operate utility equipment.Examples include a wheel-lift for towtrucks, cranes, tools for construction or tireservice and pumping fluids. PTOapplications draw auxiliary horsepowerfrom the powertrain, often while the
vehicle is stationary or mobile. In thestationary condition, there is limitedcooling air flow through the radiator andaround the vehicle that normally occurswhen a vehicle is moving. The aftermarketPTO system installer, having the mostknowledge of the final application, isresponsible for determining whetheradditional chassis heat protection orpowertrain cooling is required and alertingthe user to the safe and proper operation.
Your vehicle is approved for use as aStationary Mode, SplitShaft Mode orMobile Mode power source within the limitsand operating guidelines detailed in theFord Truck Body Builders Layout Book,found at https://fordbbas.com/home andthrough the Ford Truck Body BuildersAdvisory Service. The transmission powersource modes are engine specific.
