This article supersedes TSB 08-5-12 to update the production fix date.
ISSUE
For 2008 Edge and MKX vehicles built before 1/07/2008, it is normal for the vehicle to roll while stopped on a slight incline, with the vehicle in drive or reverse gear and the brakes are not applied. There is a new calibration that will improve the hold capability on a slight grade and improve the ability to creep in drive and reverse. Customers should be advised that using the brake is still the best way to avoid rolling on an incline, grade, or hill.
ACTION
Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 53.4 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
NOTE
THIS NEW CALIBRATION WAS IMPLEMENTED IN PRODUCTION ON 1/7/2008 AND THIS TSB DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY VEHICLE BUILT ON OR AFTER THIS DATE.
