    • If the VIN is listed within Attachment X, proceed to Step 2.
    • If the VIN is not listed within Attachment X, proceed to Step 3.

IMPORTANT: The TCU WSM procedure contains steps for Programmable Module Installation (PMI). These steps must be followed to properly install the new TCU.

  1. If the VIN is listed within Attachment X, replace the TCU. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM) Section 415-00.

NOTE: Reprogram appropriate vehicle modules before performing diagnostics and clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) after programming. For DTCs generated after reprogramming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures.

NOTE: If the MyFord Mobile system prompts for user permissions select “Allow”.

  1. Connect battery charger to the 12v battery. For additional information, refer to WSM Section 414-01.
  2. Reprogram the following modules to the latest software level in the order instructed below, using IDS 86.04 or higher:
    • PCM – Reprogram using IDS 86.04 or higher.
      • If the PCM is not reprogrammed before the APIM, the latest software level will not be shown as an option in PTS.
    • APIM – Follow the “SYNC Module (APIM) Custom Programming” procedure to reprogram the APIM to the latest software level. For additional information, refer to WSM Section 415-00.

NOTE: Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com.

NOTE: Follow the IDS on-screen instructions to complete the reprogramming procedures.

NOTE: When prompted to manually select vehicle applications, select only the applications that are applicable to the vehicle. See Figure 1.

 

NOTE: Touchscreen calibration is required after reprogramming the APIM. After the reprogram procedure completes, a “Tick” button will appear on the bottom left of the IDS screen (this may require scrolling to the bottom of the page to view).

 

Vehicles Equipped With Navigation

NOTE: If an SD Card fault appears on the screen after the reprogramming procedure completes, the vehicle may contain an early level Navigation Map SD Card. Replacement of the SD Card requires prior approval from the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) via a SSSC web contact.

 

All Vehicles

NOTE: If the MyFord Touch system is unresponsive, inoperative, or if the vehicle software
update was unsuccessful, perform normal WSM diagnostic procedures. If WSM diagnostics
identify the APIM as the causal part of a concern, replace the APIM. For additional information, refer to WSM, Section 415-00.

  1. Notify the customer that they may need to re-establish their MyFord mobile account.

 

Recovering a PCM when programming has resulted in a blank module:
NEVER DELETE THE ORIGINAL SESSION!

  1. Obtain the original IDS that was used when the programming error occurred during Module Reprogramming (MR) or Programmable Module Installation (PMI).
  2. Disconnect the VCM from the data link connector (DLC) and the IDS.
  3. Reconnect the VCM to IDS and then connect to the DLC. Once reconnected, the VCM icon should appear in the corner of the IDS screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the IDS to VCM connection.
  4. Locate the ORIGINAL vehicle session when programming failed. This should be the last session used in most cases. If not, use the session created on the date that the programming failed.

NOTE: If the original session is not listed in the previous session list, click the ”Recycle Bin” icon at the lower right of the previous session screen. This loads any deleted sessions and allows you to look through them. Double-click the session to restore it.

  1. Once the session is loaded, the failed process should resume automatically.
  2. If programming does not resume automatically, proceed to the Module Programming menu and select the previously attempted process, PMI or MR.
  3. Follow all on-screen prompts/instructions.
  4. Near the end of programming, the IDS prompts you to select certain parameters. It is important to make a selection for ALL parameters listed. If the correct selection is already highlighted, you must still choose that selection before clicking the “Tick” mark to complete the configuration.
  5. The last screen on the IDS may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps listed on the screen are followed in order.

  1. I bought a 2011 ford explorer back in 2015. And just now my car started having those issue where my screen of the radio in just black. A friend of mines tells me to download the Ford pass and see what issue the SUV has. I just found out it had 3 issue two of then was a recall which they did fix. And well the 3rd issue is the sync module which is going to cost me $758 out of pocket because my extended warranty has expired. And it didn’t cover even if it had a five year warranty because the warranty started from the year of the car model in 2011 and it ended five year later that when I bought it in 2015 and I wasn’t aware of this and tell me what and where can I get this done at no charge or less of a price let me know.

    • Any Ford Dealer or After Market Shop that does reprogramming can get this done for you. Most likely you will have to pay for it.

  2. We are having the same issue with our 2011 Explorer XLT. No radio, no navigation and NO backup camera.
    I have read many articles about this and just found that Ford acknowledge this is a known issue. But help is only available in five years. We bought ours used and were not aware of this service issue.
    I took the vehicle to the local dealership and was told it would cost $1200 to replace the module. I said it is ridiculous to pay that much for a radio and back up camera. I feel it is dangerous driving the vehicle without the camera, there are so many blind spots. I told them I watched a video on how to replace the module and it did not take that much labor, the response was that they had to pay for a $20,000 tool to reprogram the module. I feel stuck, how do I get it fixed, I want to get rid of the vehicle now, but feel stuck. Any suggestions are welcome.

  3. I have 2016 Ford Fusion and my sync does not work. Does the APIM and/or the TCU warranty extension cover my vehicle,

  4. My 21014 Ford Explorer Sport constantly reboots into system maintenance mode, phone connection is intermittent, screens goes black while driving, navigation quits very often. Took it to dealership and they said that a software update would fix the issue. The software was updated but the issue wasn’t fixed as it continues to reboot into system maintenance mode. Now they dealer says I need a new APIM module and it’s not covered under warranty. It only has 9300 miles on it, it’s unacceptable that I would have to pay that much to get it fixed with that kind of mileage.

  5. My 2013 F250 radio, phone and all audio outputs do not work at all. When the power is disconnected at the fuse for the radio associated components under the dash passenger side and reconnected it will come back to operation again. Ford dealer advised it needs a radio replacement only. Is this problem actually associated with and covered by the APIM and/or the TCU warranty extension? This question was submitted 6/29/18.

  6. Hi,
    I have the same issue, my 2012 Edge just got a black screen. Took it to the dealership, they said that it covers 2011-2014 models. However, it’s only an extension for 5 years, but we’re in 2018 so the 2011-12 owners are doomed.
    I mean where’s the logic? Ford recognized there’s an issue with APIM, they know it’s faulty, and it dies sometimes after 5 years. Feels a lot like a middle finger to loyal owners. I’m having second thoughts about purchasing another Ford now…

  7. I purchased my 2013 Edge in April 2018 … had issues with SYNC since day one. Any time I make or receive a call through SYNC it shit down and reboots ….saying it’s doing system maintenance….. this happens with every single call. I have taken my Edge back to the dealer they said they checked the system and it was fine and it may just be some type of Glitch with the software/… could this cause my phone call issue

  8. I just got off the phone with Ford factory supervisor. They said consumers are on their own after extended warranty date. I have a 2011 Ford explorer that has a bad APIM. Purchased in summer of 2014 and had problems immediately. Although Ford documented my phone call to them in 2014 concerning the malfunction and performed a master reset, they are refusing to offer any assistance to me now saying that the total cost is on consumers if your are past their set date. No letter recall letter was received by me or the previous owner ( My Son) The message received said regularly scheduled maintenance so I assumed all was okay. I also informed them that recently the power steering went out while I was driving, and there was no recall notice sent to me on it either although they have experienced many I think it is bad business to sell vehicles with defective options and then choose to honor only the ones they want. I am sure they have a percentage worked out and the rest will be ignored. Buyer beware doesn’t fit because you can’t see these internal defects. Guess I’ll go back to GMC.

  9. I too am experiencing the same issues. Our 2011 Explorer XLT just had the touchscreen go out. They quoted almost $1,000 for the repair and won’t move. I called Ford customer service and am waiting to hear back from a supervisor. I didn’t receive a letter from Ford and was never advised of this program. Does anyone have suggestions on how to proceed?

  10. I’ve been having this problem with my 2012 Explorer for years and I just now found out about the extended warranty (9 months out now from end of extension). I never received the letter from Ford advising me of it and am the original owner. Vehicle at the dealer now and they quote me $900 dollars to replace module. I think it stinks that Ford will not cover this in light of the fact that I was never notified of the extended of the extension because clearly, I would have had it fixed within the specified time if I had known.

  11. My Ford APIM GPS mapping system is intermittently malfunctioning. My location is off on secondary roads when I am clearly on an Interstate; these roads have existed for 20+ years and haven’t changed during the entire ownership of the car, yet it re-routes me. I re-enter route while in motion (clearly still on the Interstate) and it initially works, but as soon as I go over or under a bridge; it re-routes me to the secondary roads, totally disregarding that I remained on the Interstate. I am being told that I need an update for the mapping, yet this makes NO sense, since the roads I am travelling have not changed since the mid-1990’s. Please verify if this issue is an APIM issue, and explain how to proceed. I have begun to document this issue by videotaping the problem to demonstrate that I am not crazy.

  12. 2012 f150 sync with voice activated navigation, apim may be bad, dealer does not seem to know, but radio, Sirius, cd, or music does not work at times, nothing comes on, then it come on by itself. Is the apim covered at all?

  13. I bought my 2011 Explorer used and never received notification of the issue with the APIM. Now the vehicle is having issues with the APIM and is only a few months outside of the extended warranty coverage. Can I still get this issue fixed under the warranty? I have tried calling customer care and been bounced back and forth and never gotten hold of the right group that could help me.

    • Did you have any luck? I am having the same issue. I have a 2011 and have had the same problems. Did you find any help? If yes, how? If no, what was the cost to repair?
