Summary
This article supersedes TSB 20-2255 to update the TSB Service Procedure.
Issue: Some 2016 MKS, 2016-2017 Navigator, 2016-2018 F-150/Focus/C-MAX/Edge/Fiesta/MKX/Transit Connect/Mustang, 2017-2018 Continental/Fusion/MKZ, 2017-2019 Explorer, 2016-2019 Escape/MKC/Flex/MKT/Taurus/Transit/Expedition/F-Super Duty, and 2018-2019 EcoSport vehicles equipped with SYNC 3 may experience various SYNC performance related concerns including but not limited to:
- Display operation concerns
- Navigation inoperative
- Voice recognition concerns
- Phone connection issues
- Dropped phone connections
- Applink related performance
- Travel Link not present or showing incorrect traffic
- Slow system response
This may be due to the SYNC software. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to update the accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software.
NOTE: Ford has found some of the APIMs replaced and returned for inspection contained an outdated software level and the APIM did not require replacement. The customer concern may have been resolved by updating the APIM with latest level of software. The SYNC 3 universal thumb drive will be able to update the APIM software without the use of a scan tool and does not require the process to be monitored. Ford will be monitoring APIM replacements to confirm TSB directed software updates have been performed.
Action: Follow the Service Procedure to correct the condition on vehicles that meet all the following criteria:
- One of the following vehicles:
- Customer complaint of one or more of the following symptoms:
- Display operation concerns
- Navigation inoperative
- Voice recognition concerns
- Phone connection issues
- Dropped phone connections
- Applink related performance
- Travel Link not present or showing incorrect traffic
- Slow system response
Service Procedure
1. Verify that the SYNC 3 universal thumb drive is titled SG3v202102 or later (later software levels will have a higher numerical value). Is the SYNC 3 universal thumb drive title SG3v202102 or later?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 2.
(2). No – download the SYNC 3 Universal USB Updater Application under the Service Tips section of Professional Technician System (PTS). Review the instructions and use Scan for Updates and Update USB. Proceed to Step 2.
- NOTE: If needed, this is a one time upload to the thumb drive. Downloading the files to laptop and updating the thumb drive could take up to 2 1/2 hours depending on internet speed. Once the thumb drive is updated, it can be used repeatedly to update all vehicles in this article.
2. Disconnect all customer connected universal serial bus (USB) items from all media hub locations in the vehicle.
3. Start the vehicle.
4. Insert the SYNC 3 universal thumb drive into the USB port on the media hub.
5. The module automatically updates with no user input required.
(1). Modules already at the latest software level will indicate this after approximately 30 seconds.
(2). Module programming for a non-updated module does not need to be monitored and can take approximately 20-30 minutes.
(3). Once the reprograming has completed, the screen will display a message indicating the module is up to date.
6. Remove the SYNC 3 universal thumb drive when complete. The screen returns to the SYNC 3 home screen. Reconnect any of the customer USB items. No vehicle or system restarts are required.
