Note:Your vehicle’s powertrain control systems can detect and store
information about vehicle modifications that increase horsepower and
torque output such as whether or not performance-enhancing powertrain
components commonly referred to as “performance chips” have been
used. This information cannot be erased and will stay in the system’s
memory even if the modification is removed. The information can be
retrieved by Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and
repair facilities when servicing your vehicle. This information may be
used to determine if repairs will be covered by warranty.
Note:Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/transmission
and/or exhaust system damage; refer to your warranty information for
more information.
Your new diesel engine will feel, drive and function somewhat differently
than a gasoline engine. Therefore it is very important that you read and
thoroughly familiarize yourself and others operating the vehicle with this
guide. A special procedure for turning off the diesel engine is in the
Starting and Stopping the Enginechapter.It is important to read
and understand this material in order to maintain the best
service life for your engine.
This supplement will acquaint you with the Power Stroke diesel engine.
It provides recommendations on engine care and operating procedures.

2013 Diesel(67l)
Supplement, 1st Printing
USA(fus)

The fuel injection system is controlled through the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by a frame-mounted electric fuel pump
located inside the DFCM and provides pressurized fuel to the engine.
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 either the
service engine soon or powertrain
malfunction/reduced power/
electronic throttle control light is
illuminated, seek service from your authorized dealer.
Lubrication system
It is important to change the engine oil at the recommended service
intervals to maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil and filter change
interval beyond the recommended interval can negatively affect engine
performance, fuel economy and engine life. Refer toEngine oilin the
Maintenancechapter.
Fast start glow plug system
The diesel engine glow system consists of:
•eight glow plugs (one per cylinder)
•the glow plug control module (GPCM)
•engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
•barometric pressure (BARO) sensor
•environmental temperature sensor
Introduction

2013 Diesel(67l)
Supplement, 1st Printing
USA(fus)

The glow plug system is
electronically controlled by the PCM
and GPCM. The GPCM energizes the
glow plugs immediately after the ignition is turned on and kept on as
determined by the GPCM using the ECT, BARO and environmental
temperature sensor. The required time for the glow plugs to be
energized decreases as the coolant temperature, barometric pressure and
environmental temperature increase.
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains an engine cooling loop to cool the engine
and a secondary cooling loop to cool the transmission, exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR), charge air and fuel. The coolant serves three
primary purposes: to provide heat transfer, freeze point protection, and
corrosion protection using additives.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically are used to carry heavy loads and
accumulate mileage rapidly. These two factors may cause the additives in
the coolant to “wear out” in a shorter time. Refer to theSpecial
operating conditionssection for more information about coolant
additives and coolant change intervals. Operating the engine with
insufficient coolant and/or coolant additive can cause severe engine
damage.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
system to help reduce emission levels of oxides of nitrogen from the
exhaust of the diesel engine. This system relies on the use of diesel
exhaust fluid (DEF) which must be replenished at certain intervals.
Failure to maintain proper DEF levels or if the DEF becomes
contaminated will result in vehicle speed limitations and/or result in the
vehicle entering an idle-only mode. SeeSelective catalytic reduction
(SCR) systemin theFuel and Refuelingchapter for more information.
Speed control (if equipped)
If vehicle speed goes outside a predetermined range from the set speed,
the RES (Resume) function will not reset vehicle speed. Vehicle speed
will need to be reset with the SET +/- button after reaching desired
speed using accelerator pedal.

Do not crank the engine for more than 10 seconds as starter damage
may occur. If the engine fails to start, turn the key to 3 (off) and wait
30 seconds before trying again.
1. Turn the key to on without
turning the key to start. Do not
start the engine until the
glow-plug pre-heat indicator turns off.
2. When the glow plug pre-heat indicator turns off, turn the key to
start, then release the key as soon as the engine starts. The glow
plugs may remain on for a period of time after engine start. If the
engine is not started before the glow plug activation time ends, the
glow plugs will need to be reset by turning the key to off.
3. After the engine starts, allow it to idle for about 15 seconds. This is
to protect the engine. Do not increase engine speed until the oil
pressure gauge indicates normal pressure.
ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine idle shutdown system. This
system automatically shuts down your engine when it has been idling in
P (Park) or N (Neutral) for five minutes (parking brake set) or
15 minutes (parking brake not set). When the engine idle shutdown
process has started:
•A chime sounds and the information display will showENGINE
TURNS OFF IN 30(seconds) and start counting down.
•The 5 or 15 minute timer can be restarted by changing the position
of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal or the park brake within the
final 30 seconds.
•When the timer reaches zero, the engine shuts down and this
message will appear in the information displayENGINE TURNED
OFF.
•One minute after the engine has shut down, the electrical system
simulates key off, even though the ignition is still in the on position,
initiating normal accessory delay period.
•The ignition must be moved to the off position to reset the system
before restarting the vehicle.
The engine idle shutdown idle timer does not start if:
•The engine is operating in power take-off (PTO) mode.
•The engine coolant temperature is below 60°F (16°C).
•The exhaust emission control device (DPF) is regenerating.
Starting and Stopping the Engine

In cold weather below 32°F (0°C), the engine may slowly increase to a
higher idle speed if left idling in P (Park). As the engine warms-up, the
engine sound level decreases 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. Remove the air
cleaner cover and the pleated paper filter, leaving the foam filter in and
remove any snow or ice. Make sure the foam filter is installed correctly
in place. Remove any debris, snow and/or ice on the foam filter by
brushing the surface with soft brush. Do not use water, solvents, or a
hard brush for cleaning the foam filter.
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 the proper 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.
•Make sure you use proper cold weather engine oil and that it is at its
proper level. Also, if necessary, make sure to follow the engine oil and
filter change schedule found under theSpecial operating conditions
section listed in thescheduled maintenance information.
•At temperatures of -10°F (-23°C) or below, it is recommended that
you use an engine block heater to improve cold engine starting.
•If operating in arctic temperatures of -20°F (-29°C) or lower, consult
your truck dealer for information about special cold weather
equipment and precautions.
The following cold weather idling guidelines are recommended:
•Motorcraft® cetane improvers or non-alcohol-based cetane improvers
from a reputable manufacturer may be used as needed.
•Maintain the engine cooling system properly.
•Avoid shutting the engine down after an extensive idling period. Drive
the vehicle for several miles with the engine at normal operating
temperatures under a moderate load.
•Consider using an engine block heater.
•For extended idle times use an approved idle speed increase device.

Operation in Standing Water
Ingestion of water into the diesel engine can result in immediate and
severe damage to the engine. If driving through water, slow down to
avoid splashing water into the intake. If the engine stalls, and ingestion
of water into the engine is suspected, do not try to restart the engine.
Consult your dealer for service immediately.
The fuel tank is vented to atmosphere by valves on top of the tank and
through the fuel cap. If water reaches this level water may be pulled into
the fuel tank. Water in the fuel can cause performance issues and
damage the fuel injection system.
Engine Block Heater (If Equipped)
Refer to theStarting and Stopping the Enginechapter in your
Owner’s Manual.
Rapid Heat Supplemental Heating System (If Equipped)
Note:Additional aftermarket electrical loads operated during engine
warm up may impact the performance of the rapid heat supplemental
heater.
The optional rapid heat feature is an electrically powered device that is
designed to provide supplemental heat during engine warm up. For
maximum effectiveness mid to low blower speed is recommended during
initial warm up. When operating in automatic mode (when equipped) the
climate control unit determines the appropriate blower speed for existing
conditions.

•Do not use alcohol, methanol or brine or any engine coolants mixed
with alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant). Alcohol and other
liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.
•Do not add extra inhibitors or unapproved additives to the coolant.
These can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the
engine coolant.
Add prediluted engine coolant meeting the Ford specification
(Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant Prediluted). SeeCapacities
and Specificationsfor more information. Note: Generic coolants for all
makes and models may not meet the Ford specification and may cause
damage to the cooling system. This damage may void the warranty.
For vehicles with overflow coolant systems with a non-pressurized cap
on the coolant recovery system, add coolant to the coolant recovery
reservoir when the engine is cool. Add prediluted engine coolant
(Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant Prediluted) to the FULL COLD
level. For all other vehicles which have a coolant degas system with a
pressurized cap, or if it is necessary to remove the coolant pressure
relief cap on the radiator of a vehicle with an overflow system, follow
these steps to add engine coolant.
1. Turn the engine off and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the coolant
pressure relief cap on the coolant reservoir (a translucent plastic bottle).
Slowly turn cap counterclockwise until pressure begins to release.
3. When you are sure that all the pressure has been released, use the
cloth to turn it counterclockwise and remove the cap.
4. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with prediluted engine coolant to
within the FULL COLD level, or between the MIN and MAX marks
(within the COLD FILL RANGE), as listed on the engine coolant
reservoir. If you removed the radiator cap in an overflow system, fill the
radiator until the coolant is visible and radiator is almost full. If coolant is
added to bring the level within the COLD FILL RANGE when the engine
is not cold, the system may remain under filled.
5. Replace the cap. Turn until tightly installed. Cap must be tightly
installed to prevent coolant loss.
Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle. If
necessary, add enough prediluted engine coolant to bring the coolant
level to the proper level.

•Plugged or very dirty air filter.
If fuses burn out
WARNING:Replacement fuses and circuit breakers must always
be the same rating as the original equipment shown. Never
replace a fuse or circuit breaker with one of a higher rating. Higher
rated fuses or circuit breakers could allow circuit overloading in the
event of a circuit malfunction, resulting in severe vehicle damage or
personal injury due to fire.
Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicate an electrical short-circuit,
although a fuse may occasionally burn out from vibration. Insert a second
fuse. If this fuse immediately burns out and you cannot locate the cause,
return your vehicle to your dealer for a circuit check.
Refer to theOwner’s Manualfor replacement of fuses.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system speed limit and
Idle-only modes
If the vehicle’s speed is limited or in an idle-only mode, the SCR system
may be limiting the vehicle’s functions due to low or contaminated diesel
exhaust fluid (DEF). Check the DEF. SeeSelective catalytic reduction
(SCR) systemin theFuel and Refuelingchapter for more information.
