Summary

Some 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles equipped with a direct current/alternating current converter module A (DCACA) inverter (minor feature code HUKAK) may exhibit an illuminated tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B124D stored in the BCM. This may be due to the DCACA inverter causing radio frequency interference (RFI). To confirm a vehicle is built with a certain minor feature code, review the build information by double-clicking the vehicle identification number (VIN) in the upper left corner in the Professional Technician System (PTS).

Service Procedure

1. Confirm the inverter is the source of RFI.

(1). Disconnect connector C3501C going to the DCACA inverter. Refer to the Wiring Diagram, Cell 150 – Connector Views, C3501C (Direct Current/Alternating Current (DC/AC) Inverter).

(2). Perform a 20 minute road test at 32 km/h (20 mph) or higher. If the TPMS indicator is no longer illuminated at any point, end the road test.

2. Is DTC B124D still present in the BCM after road tests?

(1). Yes – this article does not apply. Refer to the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Diagnosis and Testing for normal diagnostics.

(2). No – proceed to Step 2.

3. Reconnect connector C3501C to the DCACA inverter.

4. Obtain access to the radio transceiver module (RTM) but do not remove it. (Figure 1). Refer to WSM, Section 419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Removal and Installation.

Figure 1

 

5. Disconnect connector C9026 from the RTM. Refer to the Wiring Diagram, Cell 150 – Connector Views, C9026 (Radio Transceiver Module (RTM)).

6. Install the Fair-Rite Products Corp.® Round Cable Snap-Its onto the 14A005 harness, approximately 25 mm (1 inch) before connector C9026 (Figure 2). Make sure the Round Cable Snap-Its is clean and free of oil, dirt, or grease, as it could affect the ability to mitigate RFI. Do not open and close the Round Cable Snap-Its more than necessary as it could affect the ability to mitigate RFI.

Figure 2

 

(1). To close the Round Cable Snap-Its onto the harness, place the Round Cable Snap-Its over the harness in the required location, close it, and press the two sides of the Round Cable Snap-Its together until there is an audible/tactile click. (Figure 3) Make sure to not damage the wiring when closing the Round Cable Snap-Its.

Figure 3

 

7. Wrap Coroplast electrical wire harness tape around the Round Cable Snap-Its to secure it onto the harness. Do not cover the exposed wiring near connector C9026 with tape as it could stress the wiring to connector C9026. If necessary, use 3M™ Film Tape 9343 to secure the Round Cable Snap-Its and harness further to prevent stress on connector C9026.

8. Reinstall the headliner. Refer to the WSM, Section 501-05 Interior Trim and Ornamentation, Removal and Installation, Headliner – Lowering.

9. Perform a 20 minute road test at 32 km/h (20 mph) or higher. If the TPMS indicator is no longer illuminated at any point, end the road test.

10. Is DTC B124D present after road test?

(1). Yes – perform additional diagnostics outside of this article. Refer to the WSM, Section 204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Diagnosis and Testing.

(2). No – repair complete.
