NOTE: An APIM Reset consists of a battery disconnect and a SYNC® system Master Reset. It may not be necessary to perform a Master Reset after disconnecting the battery if the concern is resolved.
NOTE: This procedure clears all Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs). The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) must be recorded now if other non-SYNC® diagnoses are to be performed after this procedure.
NOTE: Performing a Master Reset returns all preference settings to the factory defaults, erases the phone book and call histories, and deletes any Bluetooth devices paired with the SYNC® system. For vehicles with navigation, the customer’s saved destinations (home, favorites, and previous) are erased. For vehicles with a TCU , any devices paired with the MyFord® Mobile or MyLincoln Mobile™ phone application will be deleted.
Perform a Master Reset. If necessary, refer to “Master Reset” in the Owner's Literature.NOTE: If the concern remains after completing the APIM Reset procedure, advise the customer to power their device off and back on for a simple reboot. In some cases, if possible, the device's battery may also need to be removed and re-installed to complete a reboot. Delete SYNC® from the device’s Bluetooth menu prior to re-pairing the phone to the SYNC® system. If necessary, the customer can also perform a Master Clear, Master Reset, or Factory Data Reset on their device following the manufacturer's instructions in the device's owner's manual and/or website. Customer devices may affect the operation of SYNC® and this should be understood to prevent unnecessary diagnosis or repairs to the system.
If a concern is still present, return to the Symptom Charts.Removal
