EXPIRATION DATE
This Customer Satisfaction Program has an expiration date of April 30, 2023 to encourage dealers and customers to have this service performed as soon as possible.
We recommend dealers utilize their FSA VIN Lists name and address to contact customers with affected vehicles. This will help minimize the number of vehicles that may miss out on future Ford
Power-Up or Lincoln Way updates. FSA VIN Lists were available on April 27, 2022.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| Mach-E | 2021 | CUAUTITLAN | March 3, 2020 through July 6, 2021 |
| F-150 | 2021 | DEARBORN | March 16, 2020 through October 22, 2021 |
| F-150 | 2021 | KANSAS CITY | October 29, 2020 through November 13, 2021 |
| Bronco | 2021 | MICHIGAN | December 15, 2020 through December 18, 2021 |
| Edge | 2021 | OAKVILLE | December 15, 2020 through November 15, 2021 |
| Nautilus | 2021 | OAKVILLE | September 15, 2020 through November 15, 2021 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
Note: Completion of TSB 22-2150 will close this FSA.
Note: The list of affected VINs will be updated monthly as they are identified through the Ford
PowerUp or Lincoln Way update process.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
In some of the affected vehicles, an internal error in the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) or Telematics Control Unit (TCU) module software will prevent the receipt of software updates or enhancements for these modules from Ford
Power-Up or Lincoln Way. The module will operate as intended otherwise.
SERVICE ACTION
Before delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to update the APIM and TCU module software. If either module won’t execute the update, the module needs to go through the recovery process listed in TSB 22-2150, then updated.
For sold vehicles, customers will be notified if they have a module with this issue. They will be instructed to make an appointment with their dealer to have this issue corrected. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
NOTE: The service action is different between vehicles that are sold and in operation vs. unsold vehicles. Ford
can identify modules and VINs that require the recovery process once the vehicles are sold and in operation. Those VINs are included in this program. The list of VINs requiring recovery will be updated monthly as they are identified through the Ford
Power-Up or Lincoln Way update process. If a vehicle has not yet been sold, dealers will be able to identify modules requiring recovery by attempting to update the modules.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters were mailed the week of May 27, 2022. Additional owner letters will be sent out monthly as affected VINs are identified. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
SOLD VEHICLES
- Owners of affected vehicles will be directed to dealers for repairs.
- Immediately contact any of your affected customers whose vehicles are not on your VIN list but are identified in OASIS. Give the customer a copy of the Owner Notification Letter and schedule a service date.
- Correct other affected vehicles identified in OASIS which are brought to your dealership.
- Dealers are to prioritize repairs of customer vehicles over repairs of new and used vehicle inventory.
STOCK VEHICLES
- Correct all affected units in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
- Use OASIS to identify any affected vehicles in your used vehicle inventory.
TITLE BRANDED / SALVAGED VEHICLES
Affected title branded and salvaged vehicles are eligible for this service action.
OWNER REFUNDS
- Ford
Motor Company is offering a refund for owner-paid repairs covered by this program if the repair was performed before the date of the Owner Notification Letter. This refund offer expires April 30, 2023. - Refunds will only be provided for the cost associated with recovery of the APIM or TCU module.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
Module Programming
NOTE: Program appropriate vehicle modules before performing diagnostics and clear all DTC’s after programming. For DTC’s generated after programming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery.
NOTE: Verify that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12 volt battery negative terminal to prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle.
NOTE: If the diagnostic software does not load or if the vehicle cannot be identified properly, make sure there is a good internet connection and the VCM is properly connected to the DLC.
2. Log into Ford
Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS).
NOTE: Ensure the FDRS is at the most current version. Version 31.6.7 or higher is required.
NOTE: Vehicle information is automatically retrieved by the diagnostic software and a Network Test is run. Vehicle identification data appears on the screen when this is complete.
3. Click ‘Read VIN from Vehicle’ or manually enter the VIN.
4. Is the vehicle customer owned or an unsold unit?
For Customer Owned – Proceed to Step 13.
For Unsold Unit – Proceed to Step 5.
NOTE: Available modules are shown on the Left Hand (LH) side of the screen, and available procedures are listed on the Right Hand (RH) side of the screen. Modules that are communicating are highlighted in green.
5. Select Toolbox tab.
6. From the list on the LH side of the screen, select the APIM.
7. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select APIM – Sync Module (APIM) Software Update.
8. Click RUN. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully.
9. On the LH side of the screen, select TCU.
10. On the RH side of the screen, select Telematic Control Unit Module (TCU) -Software Update.
11. Click RUN. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully.
12. Was either the APIM and/or TCU module software update unsuccessful?
Yes – Proceed to Step 13.
No – Proceed to Step 14.
13. The vehicle will need to go through the recovery process. Please perform TSB 22-2150 and reattempt the software update for the module that was unsuccessful.
For APIM – Proceed to Step 5.
For TCU – Proceed to Step 9.
14. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select Self-Test and click RUN.
15. Click the Run Selected Tests button in the lower right.
16. Click the Clear & Retest button at the top of the screen to clear DTC’s in all modules.
17. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the programming has completed.
Important Information for Module Programming
NOTE: When programming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors.
- Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect FDRS/scan tool to a power source.
NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic software.
- Inspect Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II
)/Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module (VCMM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming. - A hardwired connection is strongly recommended.
- Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors.
- Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio, etc.).
- Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully.
- Disable FDRS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes.
- Create all sessions key on engine off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process.
Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module
a. Disconnect the VCMII or VCMM from the data link connector (DLC) and your PC.
b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and the PC. Launch FDRS. The VCMII/VCMM icon should turn green in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM connection.
c. If you are using the same FDRS as the initial programming attempt, select the appropriate VIN from the Vehicle Identification menu. If you are using a different FDRS, select “Read VIN from Vehicle” and proceed through the Network Test.
d. In the Toolbox menu, navigate to the failed module and Download/Run Programmable Module Installation (PMI). Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked if the original module is installed, select “No” and continue through the installation application.
e. Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps are followed in order.
