Vehicle Health Report Inoperative with Aftermarket Device Plugged Into Data Link Connector

Some 2008-2016 Ford/Mercury/Lincoln vehicles equipped with SYNC may exhibit a message indicating Vehicle Needs 200 Miles on it to perform a Vehicle Health Report (VHR).

 

If this message is displayed, inspect for an aftermarket device that is plugged into the Data Link Connector (DLC).

Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 418-00 Module Communications Network, Description and Operation.

If an aftermarket device is found, do not perform a repair or attempt a module update as the device must be removed from the DLC for SYNC VHR to operate properly.

After removing an aftermarket device, cycle the ignition key once and perform a short drive to update the odometer reading.

If the SYNC VHR is still not operating properly, refer to the WSM, Section 415-00 Information and Entertainment System for diagnosis by DTC or symptom.
