Worked for me. I didn’t do this step after changing the transmission solenoids and was still having the overdrive light flashing. Thanks!!

I was hauling a horse trailer and my truck had a meltdown, check engine light came on along with the wrench and check 4x4. My truck never had any issues when this happened, no issues with over heating, it wasn’t in 4 wheel drive, everything was fine. The check engine light went away but my truck just didn’t seem right took it to the mechanic he couldn’t find anything. But I knew something was off in my transmission. I did this reset and it’s like driving a different truck. My check 4x4 wrench is still on, but that is a different issue that will be addressed this week. The problem I felt with my transmission is completely gone now and my gas mileage has improved! Thanks!!!

2011 f150 6r80. Worked to reset my TCM. Had super harsh shifting in and out of 4th. Sounded like the whole drivetrain was leaving the chat.
Did this and shifts are good again.

Thomas I just purchased 2012 Ford F150 XLT four-wheel drive the dealer told me they would have the PCM replace within a week it's now been 3 weeks and they're saying it's impossible to find a new one the truck runs perfectly fine ships out fine the gas mileage is good I have no idea what it's doing do you think it would be okay to just do what you doing the video and let it go until I can get one from a Ford dealer

Thanks very much for the video.. Hope this helps with my poor gas mileage.

My 1999 Ford f150 6 cylinder 4.2 I change the water pump everything was fine but when it got back together the coil is good but it's not sending spark crankshaft sensor and still no spark to the coil the coil is good tested on ohm meter but still would not start and and there was no spark

I have a 16 fusion with push to start when I turn on my car to start it up after the reset do I press the button and leave it for 10 seconds and then start it up by pressing the break and the button

I have an 05 f150 with 237, 829 miles and I can only drive in reverse. I changed both input and output speed sensors, coils, cleaned the throttle body, timing solenoids, and trans fluid and other suggestions on what I can do?

[anthonymagee]

My cpu is telling me to check gauges so would thr pcm be an issue?

After changing the coils and spark plugs 1 fuel injector fuel filter & fuel pump on my 2005 Ford Expedition 4 by 4 I lost power. Could this possibly be a quick fix?

[melissadavis]

our Ford F250 just trew a plug and broke a coil pack bracket. We replaced the coil pack and it still sounds like its missing and running real bad, do you think a reset could be what we need to do?

i have the same. if i read out my pcm i have fluctuating data on al enginesensors, it shudders in idle but when i drive i dont notice
it. i have no enginecheck light our any codes and no blown fuses. I remember after a hot day 25+ celcius and 2 ours of trafficjam´driving´ it went on 3 or 4 cilinders for the last mile. after that a time went by and it was ok. now 4 month later, misfires on idle and some times when pulling up slowly. changed al the coils and plugs in one sitting. did not went away. some say pcm is fried. Hope not. will try to clear pcm as wel and maybe do the transfluidwonderlube as wel. it does leak at the base of the transmissionfluiddipstick....

Hi, I just watched your video and got me wondering if this could help me. I own a 2017 ford explorer sport. My lights were left on and drained my battery. I received a jump however noticed from that point my gas mileage average went down drastically. I use to get 19 - 23 miles per gallon. Now I get 10 - 12.5 per gallon. I went to Ford and had them replace my battery. Now they are saying that the gas issue should be solved if I ok them to do a PCM, BCM, and IPC factory reset which is not covered under warranty and will cost close to $600. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

My 2009 f150 had a misfire on cylinder #5 I changed all the spark plugs and changed the coil on cylinder 5, erased the check engine light. When I have the key on the "ON" position it says "misfire cylinder 5" but when I turn it on it has no codes and it won't pass emissions. Do you think I have to do this?

[chrisreyes-tsyp]

Would the same process be done for a 01 f-150?
