Service Procedure
NOTE: This article does not remove any RVC, Prior Approval or Warranty and Policy requirements for
component replacement.
1. Are DTCs C1001:31 and/or U3000:89 stored in the IPMA or were recently stored in the vehicle's 60-Day vehicle
health alert (VHA)/ DTC History? The vehicle's 60-Day VHA/ DTC History (if applicable) can be found in PTS >
Connected Vehicle > Connected Vehicle Home.
(1). Yes - inspect the coaxial cables between the IPMA and the IPMA camera for loose connections. Perform a
wiggle test to check C900 and C9128 connectors for loose connections. If no loose connections are present,
proceed to Step 2. If loose connections are present, reconnect and proceed to Step 3.
(2). No - proceed to Step 21.
2. Start the vehicle and wait 30 seconds. Clear and retrieve DTCs. Are DTCs C1001:31 and/or U3000:89 present in
the IPMA?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 4.
(2). No - the issue is intermittent. Replace both sections of coaxial cable running from the IPMA camera to the
IPMA following Steps 4-6 and Steps 8-18, then proceed to Step 19.
3. Start the vehicle and wait 30 seconds. Clear and retrieve DTCs. Are DTCs C1001:31 and/or U3000:89 present in
the IPMA?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 4.
(2). No - proceed to Step 21.
4. Replace the coaxial cable running from the IPMA camera to the A-pillar by overlaying the new coaxial cable next to
the existing coaxial cable and cutting off the existing coaxial cable connectors. To do so, begin by lowering the
headliner (Figure 1). Refer to the WSM, Section 501-05 Interior Trim and Ornamentation > Headliner > Lowering.
Figure 1

5. Overlay the replacement coaxial cable into the headliner behind the headliner harness and overlay the new coaxial
cable next to the existing coaxial cable (Figures 2-6). Use 3M™ film tape (not zip ties) to overlay the cable in the Apillar, as using zip ties with sharp cuts near the side curtain airbag may impede the airbag’s performance once
installed. Small zip ties may be used in the headliner and near the IPMA camera.

Figure 6

NOTE: Do not kink or route the cable in such a way that it bends greater than 90 degrees over 30 mm (1.2 in).
Sharp bends could damage the cable. Press the 3M™ film tape firmly to the headliner to make sure the tape
adheres adequately to the headliner.
6. Reattach the headliner to the roof using the headliner magnets and install a new C9128 connector to the IPMA
camera and reconnect the headliner wiring harness C900 electrical connector in the A-Pillar. Refer to Figures 7-8.
(1). Cut off the existing coaxial cable connectors to make sure the original cable is not used again.
Figure 7

Figure 8

7. Start the vehicle and wait 30 seconds. Clear and retrieve the DTCs. Are DTCs C1001:31 and/or U3000:89 present
in the IPMA?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 8 to replace the coaxial cable running from A-pillar to IPMA by overlaying the new
coaxial cable next to the existing coaxial cable and cutting off the existing coaxial cable connectors.
(2). No - proceed to Step 21.
8. Release the clips and remove the left instrument panel trim panel. Refer to the WSM, Section 501-12 Instrument
Panel and Console > Removal and Installation > Instrument Panel. (Figure 9)
Figure 9

9. Release the clips and remove the left front scuff plate. Refer to the WSM, Section 501-12 Instrument Panel and
Console > Removal and Installation > Instrument Panel. (Figure 10)
Figure 10

10. Release the clips and remove the left lower cowl trim panel. Refer to the WSM, Section 501-12 Instrument Panel
and Console > Removal and Installation > Instrument Panel. (Figure 11)
Figure 11

11. Remove insulation between A-pillar and dash. (Figure 12)
Figure 12

12. Using small zip ties, overlay the new coaxial cable with the existing coaxial cable going from the C900 connector
in the A-pillar to the C242F connector at the IPMA, going through the gap previously covered by insulation (Figure
13). Make sure the coaxial cable is secured via the mounting clips in the A-pillar.
Figure 13

NOTE: Do not kink or route the cable in such a way that it bends greater than 90 degrees over 30 mm (1.2 in).
Sharp bends could damage the cable.
13. Is the vehicle equipped with minor feature codes HJGAX or J3KAH?
NOTE: To confirm a vehicle is built with minor feature code HJGAX or J3KAH, review the build information
by double-clicking the VIN in the upper left-hand corner in PTS.
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 14.
(2). No - proceed to Step 16.
14. The replacement coaxial cable comes with an additional jumper that goes from pin 1 in the C242F connector at
the IPMA to a female C2563 connector at the APIM (Figure 14). Overlay the jumper using small zip ties from the
IPMA to the C2563 connector located in the left footwell. Refer to the Wiring Diagram, Cell 150 > Connector Views.
Figure 14

15. Once the new connectors are installed, cut off the existing coaxial cable connectors to make sure the original
cable is not used again.
16. Is the vehicle equipped with minor feature code J3KAB?
NOTE: To confirm a vehicle is built with minor feature code J3KAB, review the build information by doubleclicking the VIN in the upper left-hand corner in PTS.
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 17.
(2). No - proceed to Step 19.
17. The replacement coaxial cable comes with an additional jumper that goes from pin 2 in the C242F connector at
the IPMA to pin 5 of the male C316 connector found in the rear left side of the engine compartment (Figure 15).
Refer to the Wiring Diagram, Cell 150 > Connector Views > C316. For these vehicles, overlay this jumper using
small zip ties from the IPMA to pin 5 of the male C316 connector by going through the service access port of the
left side grommet to pass through the firewall (Figure 16).
Figure 15

Figure 16

(1). Carefully cut a slit into the interior access port face to allow the jumper cable to pass through (Figure 16,
Callout 1).
(2). Carefully cut a slit into the exterior access port face to allow the jumper cable to pass through (Figure 16,
Callout 2).
(3). Make sure the cable is completely taped to help seal the interface (Figure 16, Callout 3).
(4). Completely tape the cable to the exterior port or use Motorcraft® RTV Silicone Sealant (service part number
TA-31) to seal exterior port (Figure 16, Callout 4).
(5). Use zip ties on both sides of the grommet to secure the cable and avoid damage to RTV seal (if applicable).
(Figure 16, Callout 5)
18. Once the new pin is installed, cut off the existing coaxial cable for pin 5 to make sure the original cable is not
used again.
19. Start the vehicle and wait 30 seconds. Clear and retrieve DTCs. Are DTCs C1001:31 and/or U3000:89 present in
the IPMA?
(1). Yes - replace the IPMA camera. Refer to the WSM, Section 419-07 Lane Keeping System > Removal and
Installation > Image Processing Module A (IPMA) Camera.
(2). No - proceed to Step 21.
20. Start the vehicle and wait 30 seconds. Clear and retrieve DTCs. Are DTCs C1001:31 and/or U3000:89 present in
the IPMA?
(1). Yes - replace the IPMA. Refer to the WSM, Section 419-07 Lane Keeping System > Removal and Installation
> Image Processing Module A (IPMA).
(2). No - proceed to Step 21.
21. Is DTC U3000:49 stored in the IPMA?
(1). Yes - download and run the "IPMA - Reset the Image Processing Module A (IPMA) Learned Values"
application in the FDRS. Then run the "IPMA - Image Processing Module A (IPMA) Alignment" application
immediately after. If DTC U3000:49 is still present after completing the "IPMA - Reset the Image Processing
Module A (IPMA) Learned Values" application, then replace the IPMA. Refer to the WSM, Section 419-07 Lane
Keeping System > Removal and Installation > Image Processing Module A (IPMA).
(2). No - repair is complete.
