3. Inspect connector C4628 for the presence of corrosion, dirt and/or damage. Is corrosion, dirt and/or damage present in connector C4628? (Figure 2)
Figure 2
(1). Yes – replace the pickup bed AC power outlet socket assembly. Refer to WSM, Section 414-05. Replace the body side harness assembly (13A409) of connector C4628. Proceed to Step 4.
(2). No – proceed to Step 4.
4. Install a new pickup bed AC power outlet socket harness retainer 4.3 in. (110 mm) from the back of the pickup bed power outlet harness connector. If the pickup bed AC power outlet socket has been replaced, remove and discard the factory-installed harness retainer and install the new harness retainer. (Figure 3)
Figure 3
5. Apply Motorcraft® Electrical Grease to the pickup bed AC power outlet socket connector and reconnect to the C4628 bodyside harness. Secure the harness retainer to the body. (Figure 4)
Figure 4
CAUTION: The bend radius of the pickup bed AC power outlet socket harness should be no less than 4 mm. Hard kinks and tight bends of the pickup bed AC power outlet socket harness can lead to wire damage.
6. Fold approximately 7 in. (185 mm) of the remaining/loose pickup bed AC power outlet socket harness in 2 bends just behind the pickup bed AC power outlet socket panel. Secure the folded wire with a wire tie. Inspect the routing of the harness to make sure it is not pulled too tight against the body sheet metal near the harness retainer and provides just enough length. (Figure 5)
Figure 5
7. Tightly compress the bends and completely wrap the folded pickup bed AC power outlet socket harness section with anti-abrasion electrical tape. (Figure 6)
Figure 6
8. Download and run the BCM – Reset the Battery Monitoring Sensor Learned Values application and then the BCM – Local Interconnect Network (LIN) New Module Initialization in the FDRS to relearn the direct current/alternating current module A (DCACA) outlet configuration and retest. If DTC B1330:9A persists, continue with normal diagnostics in the WSM, Section 414-05.

Summary
Some 2021 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 400W alternating current (AC) power outlet system may experience the AC power outlet system being inoperative and DTC B1330:9A stored in the BCM. This may be due to a connection and/or outlet issue at any of the 3 AC power outlets. If this concern is present, closely inspect C4628 at the pickup bed AC outlet for possible connection and/or contamination issues and repair as necessary. If there are no connection or contamination issues present at C4628, or a repair has been made AC power outlet system, you must download and run the Reset the Battery Monitoring Sensor Learned Values app (routine 203A) in the FDRS to relearn the direct current/alternating current converter module A (DCACA) outlet configuration and retest. If the B1330:9A persists, continue with normal diagnostics in the Workshop Manual, Section 414-05.
