•
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. This operation may clean
potentially corroded 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
to Jump Starting in the Roadside
Emergencies chapter 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 or the high-pressure fuel
pump.
• 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 your 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.
Note: If the system is out of fuel and the
engine will not start, do not continue
cranking the engine. Continued cranking can
damage the high-pressure fuel pump.
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
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 the Owner
’s Manual for
replacement of fuses.
Selective catalytic reduction system
speed limit and Idle-only modes
If the vehicle ’s speed is limited or in an
idle-only mode, the selective catalytic
reduction system may be limiting the
vehicle ’s functions due to low or
contaminated diesel exhaust fluid. Check
the diesel exhaust fluid. See
Selective
Catalytic Reduction System (page 20).

Super Duty (TFA) Introduction

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE
Read all starting instructions carefully
before you start your vehicle.
For temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the
use of the correct grade engine oil is
essential for proper operation. Refer to
Engine oil specifications for more
information. See Technical
Specifications (page 56).
Your vehicle may be equipped with a cold
weather starting strategy that prevents
severe engine damage by assisting in
engine lubrication warm-up. In extremely
cold ambient temperatures, this strategy
activates and prevents the accelerator
pedal from being used for 30 seconds after
starting your vehicle. A message will
appear in the information display as your
vehicle warms up. By not allowing the
accelerator pedal to be used, the engine
oil is allowed to properly lubricate the
bearings preventing engine damage due
to lack of proper lubrication. After the 30
second warm-up period, the accelerator
pedal will be operational again and a
message will appear informing you the
vehicle is ok to drive.
When starting the engine in extremely cold
temperatures (-15°F [– 26°C]), it is
recommended to allow the engine to idle
for several minutes before driving the
vehicle.
Make sure the gearshift lever is in P (Park)
and the parking brake is fully set before
you turn the key. Do not press the
accelerator during starting.
Cold Weather Starting WARNINGS
Do not use starting fluid, such as
ether, in the air intake system (see
air filter decal). Such fluid could
cause immediate explosive damage to the
engine and possible personal injury WARNINGS
Do not add gasoline, gasohol, alcohol
or Kerosene to diesel fuel. This
practice creates a serious fire hazard
and causes engine performance problems. It is recommended that the engine block
heater be used for starting when the
temperature is -10°F (-23°C) or colder.
Refer to Engine block heater later in this
chapter for more information.
When operating in cold weather,
Motorcraft® cetane improvers or
non-alcohol-based cetane improvers from
a reputable manufacturer may be used as
needed.
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
position 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 indicator turns off.
2. When the glow plug pre-heat indicator
turns off, turn the key to start and
release the key as soon as the engine
starts. After starting the engine, the
glow plugs may remain on for a period.
If you do not start the engine before
the glow plug activation time ends, you
will need to reset the glow plugs 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.

Super Duty (TFA) Starting and Stopping the Engine

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
protecting 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 the Special
operating conditions section listed in
the scheduled 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:
• You can use Motorcraft® cetane
improvers or non-alcohol-based
cetane improvers from a reputable
manufacturer as needed.
• Maintain the engine cooling system
properly. •
Avoid shutting the engine down after
an extensive idling period. Drive your
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.
Winter Operating Tips for Arctic
Operation -20°F (-29°C) and Below
The following information is a guideline
only and is no to be the only source of
possible solutions in resolving extreme
cold temperature issues.
Starting Aids WARNING
Do not use starting fluid, such as
ether, in the air intake system (see
air filter decal). Such fluid could
cause immediate explosive damage to the
engine and possible personal injury. The use of the factory engine block heater
assists in engine starting in extreme cold
ambient temperatures. Refer to Engine
block heater in the Starting and Stopping
the Engine chapter of your Owner
’s
Manual.
Idle Control
Your vehicle may have a factory option for
a stationary elevated idle control through
dash-mounted upfitter switches that
allows the operator to elevate the idle rpm
for extended idle periods, as well as
aftermarket equipment such as PTO
operation. You must configure this feature
even if ordered from the factory. See your
authorized dealer for required upfitting.
11
Super Duty (TFA) Starting and Stopping the Engine

•
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
• You must move the ignition to the off
position to reset the system before
restarting your vehicle.
The engine idle shutdown idle timer does
not start if:
• The engine is operating in power
take-off mode.
• The engine coolant temperature is
below 60°F (16°C).
• The exhaust emission control device is
regenerating.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF
EQUIPPED)
Refer to the Starting and Stopping the
Engine chapter in your Owner ’s Manual.
Rapid Heat Supplemental Heating
System
Note: Additional aftermarket electrical
loads operated during engine warm up may
affect the performance of the rapid heat
supplemental heater.
The optional rapid heat feature is an
electrically powered device that provides
supplemental heat during engine warm up.
During initial warm up, you should use a
mid to low blower speed for maximum
effectiveness. When operating in
automatic mode (when equipped) the
climate control unit determines the
appropriate blower speed for existing
conditions.

Super Duty (TFA) Starting and Stopping the Engine

3.
Rotate the drain counterclockwise until
the O-ring is visible. Allow the diesel
fuel conditioner module to drain for
approximately 25 seconds or until
clean fuel is observed. Rotate the drain
clockwise to tighten it. If no liquid
drains, there may be a clog in the drain.
Have the conditioner module serviced
by an authorized dealer.
4. Make sure that you fully tighten the drain valve and then remove the
container from under your vehicle.
5. Restart the engine. If the WATER IN FUEL DRAIN FILTER or WATER IN FUEL
DRAIN FILTER SEE MANUAL message
and light continues to illuminate, have
the fuel system checked and repaired.
Low Fuel Pressure
The engine is equipped with a low fuel
pressure detection system. Here are some
possible causes if a low fuel pressure
message appears in the information
display:
• Cold start or during cold operation
(below 32°F (0°C): If the low fuel
pressure message appears during a
cold start or up to 10 minutes after the
initial cold start, monitor the
information display. If the low fuel
pressure message disappears and does
not re-appear after the engine has fully
warmed up, waxed or gelled fuel is what most likely caused the message.
Do not use alcohol based additives to
correct fuel gelling. This may result in
damage to the fuel injectors and
systems. Use an anti-gel additive. See
Technical Specifications (page 56).
Note: Your customer warranty may be void
from using additives that do not meet or
exceed Ford specifications. If the low fuel
pressure message persistently appears after
re-fueling during the cold start and cold
operation conditions defined previously and
then disappear when the engine has fully
warmed up, consider different fuel sources.
• Low fuel operation: If the low fuel
pressure message appears when your
vehicle is warm and during low fuel
tank level operation (near empty),
refuel your vehicle. If the message
reappears after fueling, see below. If
the message does not come back, the
low fuel pressure condition was due to
low fuel levels in the fuel tank.
• Normal operation: If the low fuel
pressure message appears during
normal operation when the engine is
fully warm, and fuel level is not low,
you must change the fuel filters
regardless of the maintenance
schedule interval.
• If replacement of the fuel filter does
not remedy the low fuel pressure
message during normal operation as
defined above, take the vehicle to an
authorized dealer.
Changing the Engine-Mounted and
Diesel Fuel Conditioner Module Fuel
Filters
Your vehicle is equipped with two fuel
filters. The first filter mounts on top of the
engine on the driver ’s side. The second
filter, inside the diesel fuel conditioner
module, is mounted on the frame rail under
the driver ’s side floorboard near the
transmission. You should replace both
17
Super Duty (TFA) Fuel and RefuelingE163360

filters at the same time. Regular fuel filter
changes are an important part of engine
maintenance; failing to keep with the
scheduled maintenance could lead to
engine performance issues and fuel
injection system damage. Refer to the
scheduled maintenance information of this
supplement for more information. See
General Maintenance Information
(page 58).
Refer to Motorcraft part numbers in the
Capacities and Specifications chapter for
the fuel filter replacement part number.
See Motorcraft Parts (page 54). This part
number includes filters and seals for both
the engine-mounted and frame-mounted
filters.
Removal - Diesel Fuel Conditioner
Module filter
The diesel fuel conditioner module filter is
located in the lower portion of the housing.
1. Drain the diesel fuel conditioner module. See Draining the Fuel and
Water Separator earlier in this chapter.
2. Remove the lower portion of the diesel
fuel conditioner module housing (filter
bowl) by turning it counterclockwise
using a 32 mm socket. Note:
Depending on the amount of seal
swelling, removal of the filter bowl may be
noisy and require some effort. Replace the
seal prior to reinstalling the filter bowl to
improve assembly.
3. Remove and discard the old fuel filter element.
4. Carefully clean the mating surfaces using a lint-free rag.
Installation – Diesel Fuel Conditioner
Module filter
1. Install the new filter into the filter bowl
tabs and replace the seal on the diesel
fuel conditioner module header (top
portion of separator). Refer to
Motorcraft part numbers in the
Capacities and Specifications chapter
for the fuel filter kit part number. See
Motorcraft Parts
(page 54).
2. Lube O-ring with lubricant packet in the filter kit. This will assist in making
sure the filter is properly tightened. 3. Reinstall the lower portion of the
housing by slowly turning it clockwise
onto diesel fuel conditioner module
housing, allowing fuel to soak into the
fuel filter element. Tighten the lower
housing until it contacts the
mechanical stop.

Super Duty (TFA) Fuel and RefuelingE163361 E163362

Note:
The engine will not run properly if you
do not install the diesel fuel conditioner
module fuel filter in the housing or if the
filter bowl is not tightened to the
mechanical stop.
Note: You will need to purge the system of
air after removal or changing of the filter.
See purging air from the fuel system later
in this chapter.
Removal - Engine-mounted fuel filter
The engine-mounted fuel filter is a plastic
disposable cartridge. To remove it, do the
following: 1.
Disconnect both fuel lines by squeezing
the connector tabs and pulling the lines
straight off. Note:
Although the fuel system is not fully
pressurized when the vehicle is off, some
residual pressure may remain in the fuel
system since it can take some time for the
pressure to completely bleed off. Therefore,
we recommend you place a shop rag below
the filter connectors to absorb the small
amount of fuel that will drain.
2. Rotate the filter fully counterclockwise
until the peg is at the far end of the slot.
3. Pull the filter straight up from the bracket and discard the filter.
Installation – Engine-mounted fuel
filter
1. Install the new filter into the filter bracket. Turn the filter clockwise to
lock it in place.
2. Reconnect both fuel lines.
Note: Using a fuel that has more than
average impurities may require you to
replace the fuel filter more frequently than
the service interval specifies.
Note: You will need to purge the system of
air after removal or changing of the filter.
See purging air from the fuel system later
in this chapter.
Purging air from the fuel system
Turn the ignition key to on for 30 seconds,
then turn it to off. Do this six times in a row
to purge any trapped air from the fuel
system.
After filter service, a no start or rough
running engine may indicate that air is
entering the system through the filter bowl
seal or drain. Make sure the drain is tight
and you tightened the filter bowl to the
mechanical stop.

2.
Open the diesel exhaust fluid filler port
on your vehicle by turning the blue cap
counterclockwise. Do not put diesel
exhaust fluid in the fuel tank. This can
cause engine damage not covered by
your vehicle ’s warranty. 3. Lift and hold the diesel exhaust fluid
container, without tipping, and insert
the spout into the diesel exhaust fluid
filler port until the small black seal on
the spout completely seats into the
filler port. 4.
While filling, the fluid level in the bottle
will continually drop. 5. When the diesel exhaust fluid tank is
full, the fluid level in the bottle will stop
dropping, indicating the fluid has
stopped flowing. 24

Diesel fuel dispensing nozzle fill rate
Your truck is equipped with a fuel fill pipe
that is able to accept fuel up to 20 gallons
per minute from an 11⁄8 fuel-dispensing
nozzle. Pumping fuel at greater flow rates
may result in premature nozzle shut-off or
spit back.
Fuel filler cap
WARNINGS
The fuel system may be under
pressure. If the fuel filler cap is
venting vapor or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until it stops before completely
removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuel
may spray out and injure you or others. If you do not use the proper fuel filler
cap, excessive pressure or vacuum
in the fuel tank may damage the fuel
system or cause the fuel cap to disengage
in a collision, which may result in possible
personal injury. Note:
If you must replace the fuel filler cap,
replace it with a fuel filler cap designed for
your vehicle. The vehicle warranty may be
void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel
system if the correct genuine Ford or
Motorcraft® fuel filler cap is not used.
Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed
design with a 1/4 turn on/off feature.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise until it spins off.
3. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe.
4. To install the cap, align the tabs on the
cap with the notches on the filler pipe.
5. Turn the filler cap clockwise 1/4 of a turn until it clicks at least once. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Diesel Exhaust System: Oxidation
Catalyst And Diesel Particulate
Filter System (If Equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel
particulate filter. The diesel particulate
filter is an inline filter in the exhaust system
that reduces carbon emissions by trapping
exhaust particles before they reach the
tailpipe. The diesel particulate filter looks
similar to a traditional exhaust catalyst,
except larger, and is part of the exhaust
system under the vehicle. The filter couples
to a diesel oxidation catalyst that reduces
the amount of harmful exhaust emitted
from the tailpipe. As soot gathers in the
system, it begins to restrict the filter. You
need to periodically clean the soot that
gathers inside the. You can clean the soot
in two different ways, passive regeneration
and active regeneration. Both methods
occur automatically and require no actions
from the driver. During either one of these
regeneration methods, you may notice a
change in exhaust tone. At certain times,
the information display will display various
messages related to the diesel particulate
filter. See the Information Displays chapter
in the Owner Guide for more information.
Passive regeneration
In passive regeneration, the high
temperature of the exhaust system
automatically cleans the filter, or reduces
the soot level, by burning (oxidizing) the
soot. This high exhaust temperature occurs
naturally because of normal engine
operating conditions (at varying levels, due
to driving patterns.
