Ford F-150 2015-2016 Service & Repair Manual

Description

The complete factory service and repair information for the 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 — 13,343 pages of dealer-level procedures, wiring diagrams, specifications and torque values in one searchable PDF, issued the moment payment clears. This is the documentation a Ford technician calls up at the service bay, organised into 109 service sections that run the truck end to end.

About the 2015–2016 F-150

The thirteenth-generation F-150 landed for 2015 as the biggest engineering gamble in the truck’s history: a high-volume pickup with an all-aluminium-alloy body over a high-strength steel frame, cutting hundreds of pounds from the outgoing truck. It also introduced the 2.7L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 that quickly became the volume engine, and 2016 added the segment-first Pro Trailer Backup Assist. An aluminium-intensive truck repairs differently — body procedures, fastening methods, even collision decisions change — and that is exactly where factory documentation earns its keep.

Common issues this manual helps you tackle

The 2015–2016 trucks have a well-documented set of trouble spots, and the factory sections behind each one are here:

• Brake master cylinder leaks — the 3.5L EcoBoost trucks of this era were recalled for master-cylinder seals leaking into the booster. The brake sections carry the diagnosis, master cylinder replacement and bleeding procedures.
• Door latches that freeze or won’t shut — the subject of a huge 2015–2017 recall. The body sections document latch, actuation-cable and water-shield service for every door.
• Seat-belt pretensioner recall work — 2015–2018 trucks were recalled for pretensioner-related fire risk. The restraints section covers pretensioners, B-pillar trim and post-deployment service.
• Engine block heater cord shorts — recalled twice on 2015–2019 trucks. The wiring diagrams map the block-heater circuit for clean diagnosis.
• 4WD hub (IWE) grinding — the classic vacuum-hub complaint on these trucks. The driveline sections cover IWE operation, vacuum diagnosis and hub service.

DIY repair, an out-of-warranty keeper, or a second opinion on a shop quote — these are the same procedures the dealer bills against.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cover both EcoBoost engines?
Yes — the 2.7L and the 3.5L GTDI are both fully documented, alongside the 3.5L Ti-VCT and the 5.0L V8.

Is the Raptor included?
There was no Raptor in these model years — Ford paused it after 2014, and the second-generation Raptor returned for 2017. For a 2015 or 2016 truck, this is the right manual.

Are wiring diagrams included?
Yes — wiring diagrams, schematics and connector pinout information across the electrical sections.

Can I search it?
Yes. The full text is searchable, so you can jump straight to a component, connector or torque spec.

Which years does it fit?
