2016 F-Super Duty – Various SYNC Symptoms – Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Water Intrusion
Some 2016 F-Super Duty vehicles may exhibit multiple SYNC symptoms such as Bluetooth and/or voice recognition being inoperative and a key off current draw that could be related to a water leak from the windshield A-pillar area on the passenger side.
This condition is evidenced by signs of water, moisture, or corrosion at the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) connector.
Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 415-00 for APIM access.
If a windshield water leak is identified, follow updated WSM, Section 501-11 for repairs and reseal the windshield.
If the water leak source is not the windshield refer to WSM, Section 501-00 Body System, General Information, Dust and Water leaks diagnosis.
