TSB 13-6-18	IGNITION OFF DRAW (IOD) DUE TO ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) OR REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR (RFA) KEEPING NETWORK AWAKE
Publication Date: June 18, 2013

 

FORD:	2011 Edge, Explorer
LINCOLN:	2011 MKX

 

ISSUE:

Some 2011 Edge, MKX and Explorer vehicles equipped with MyTouch and Intelligent Access, may experience an RFA module keeping the controller area network (CAN) awake causing excessive IOD and a dead battery. An incorrect CAN message from the APIM may be causing this condition. APIM vehicle interface processor (VIP) versions 2.2.7 through 2.2.12 are the affected VIP levels.

 

ACTION:

Follow the Service Procedure steps to improve the condition.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Check APIM VIP level by reviewing the vehicle micro controller unit (VMCU) software.
   1. From bezel diagnostics, select APIM, software version, then observe the VMCU. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 415-00.
2. Is the VMCU level greater than 2.2.12?
   1. Yes – this article does not apply. Refer to WSM, Section 414-01 for normal diagnosis.
   2. No – check for and perform any open MyTouch service articles before proceeding with this procedure. Proceed to Step 3.
3. Program APIM using the scan tool and Professional Technician Society (PTS) website.
   1. Connect scan tool, open PTS, select Read VIN and DTCs.
   2. From PTS, select the SYNC drop-down from the OASIS tab.
   3. Scroll to the bottom of the SYNC page, select the Custom bubble then select Read SYNC. Tool will gather module data and display available software for installation.
   4. Select the assembly bubble without a check box next to the VIP assembly, select continue at the bottom of the page. No applications should be selected during this programming procedure
   5. Select Program SYNC, follow on screen prompts to complete APIM programming procedure.

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.
