Official summary
Some 2019 Transit Connect vehicle owners may request a way to disable the enhanced security system to prevent motion from activating the vehicles anti-theft alarm. On exiting the vehicle, a menu will be displayed on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) that will allow a change in the alarm status to perimeter only. If the menu is not being displayed, use the latest version of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool and run the IPC Anti-Theft Configuration application. This will enable the menu on vehicle exit in the IPC.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
