ISSUE
Some 2004-2005 Explorer 4dr and Mountaineer vehicles built before 10/4/2004 with a 4.0L engine, or before 12/14/2004 with a 4.6L engine, may exhibit issues related to the throttle pedal response on tip-ins from a stop and on deceleration tip-ins.
ACTION
Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration level using WDS release B34.9, or B35.1 and higher. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
NOTE
THIS NEW CALIBRATION IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE B35 CD.
NOTE
THROTTLE PEDAL RESPONSE WITH ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) DIFFERS FROM RESPONSE WITH A THROTTLE CABLE. REPROGRAMMING THE PCM WILL IMPROVE, BUT MAY NOT ELIMINATE, THIS CONDITION.
