Module Configuration System: Diagnosis Ford Flex I

Inspection and Verification

This service information provides step-by-step module configuration procedures. Carry out the procedure listed in the below chart for the module setting the DTC. Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart in MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES for DTCs not listed below.

DTC Chart

Note. Some modules on this vehicle utilize a 5-character DTC followed by a 2-character failure-type code. The failure-type code provides information about specific fault conditions such as opens, or shorts to ground. Continuous memory DTCs have an additional 2-character DTC status code suffix to assist in determining DTC history.

Programmable Module Installation (PMI) Using the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) When the Original Module is Available

Note. Following module installation, some modules require a separate learning procedure be carried out. For adaptive learning and calibration instructions, refer to the specific module removal and installation procedures.

  1. Connect the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) and identify the vehicle as normal.
  2. From the Toolbox icon, select Module Programming and press the check mark.
  3. Select Programmable Module Installation.
  4. Select the module that is being replaced.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions, turn the ignition key to the OFF position, and press the check mark.
  6. Install the new module and press the check mark.
  7. Follow the on-screen instructions, turn the ignition key to the ON position, and press the check mark.
  8. The IDS downloads the data into the new module and displays Module Configuration Complete.
  9. Test module for correct operation.

Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Programming Using the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS)

Note. If a new Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) is being installed, install the new APIM before carrying out the following procedure. For additional information, Refer to INFORMATION AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS .

  1. Turn the Audio Control Module (ACM) on.
  2. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
  3. Connect one end of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) male-A to male-A cable to the scan tool.
  4. Connect the other end of the USB male-A to male-A cable to the vehicle USB port.
  5. From the technician service publication website, run On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) using Quick Start or by manually entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
  6. From the OASIS tab, select the "Sync/ APIM " bullet.
  7. Select the "Read APIM " button to verify the current APIM Vehicle Interface Processor (VIP) and Consumer Interface Processor (CIP) software levels.
  8. NOTE: Do not disconnect the Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) or USB cables during APIM programming. Select the desired software level from the list of available software for programming then select the "Program APIM " button to begin the APIM programming process. Enter the APIM As-Built data if prompted. When the VIP is programmed, the CIP will be programmed automatically.
  9. The Sync/ APIM application downloads the software into the APIM and displays "Programming has been completed successfully".
  10. Test the audio system for correct operation.
