2015-2016 Mustang
/Focus – With 4.2″ SYNC Display – SYNC Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Programming Using Front SYNC Universal Serial Bus (USB) Port
The Workshop Manual for 2015-2016 Mustang and Focus vehicles equipped with a 4.2″ display has the incorrect SYNC programming procedure in Section 415-00.
When programming the APIM the SYNC USB 2.0 A Male to A Male Cable must be connected to the front SYNC USB port located below the climate control panel.
Attempts to program vehicles with 4.2” display using the USB port located below the center storage bin arm rest will result in an error message of – communication to the CIPhas failed.
If an error occurs when using the front SYNC USB port refer to the SYNC – Software Programming v1.1 Job Aid located within the Technical Specialty/Electrical Section of the Service Tips tab on PTS site for further assistance.
The Workshop Manual is being updated to reflect the correct programming procedure for vehicles equipped with a 4.2” display
Service Information & Reprogramming
Software necessary to program electronic modules to the latest calibration level, perform module initialization (PATS), and set Programmable Parameters on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.
Ford Module Programming (FMP) is a software application that allows subscribers to program electronic modules on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. It can be used for:
- Reprogramming emission-related (OBDII) modules on some vehicles manufactured in 1995 and all vehicles manufactured from 1996 to the present
- Reprogramming or reconfiguring non-emission-related modules on many vehicles (UBP and MS-CAN not supported)
In addition, module initialization (PATS) functions such as Keycode Erase/Reprogram and PCM Parameter Reset can be done using this application.
J2534 Device 
using Ford Module Programming (FMP) can Reprogram and Configure most Modules.
