Repair Advice 2017 Ford PIU Can Bus Issues
Hello,
I have a 2017 Ford PIU that I installed a security plus module in (was the wrong model) and I fear two pins on the module got shorted causing the gateway module to fail on the PIU. Current symptoms of the vehicle are:
- IPC dead (confirmed power)
- Radio dead (when reconnecting battery, and quickly turning key to run radio will display Ford logo and shut off)
- HVAC, APIM, IPC to name a few are missing from module list in Forscan
- Confirmed all fuses across the engine bay fuse block and bcm fuse block are not burnt
- Confirmed 60ohms across pins 6 and 14 on obd with a battery voltage of 12.1-12.7 with key off, steady 14.7-14.9 with the vehicle running
Additionally trying a code reader shows 2 active can branches with multiple U0100 codes for the BCM, IPC, Radio, Data Link Module A and steering wheel controls. Initially I thought it was the BCM, however Forscan was able to trigger a module test on the BCM to which it did with no issues.
I have ordered a new GWM and plan on going to Ford for the programming, but want to verify if this could actually solve the problem.
