So yesterday I decided to install additional ambient lighting (don't ask me why - just needed to do this). I hardwired door modules of this lighting system to the pin 3 and 4 of the original ambient plugs (can't find its number) in every door, just to get the power for those modules. Then I had to connect the host module to the fuse box. I chose fuse 23. I struggled a little bit with pluggin the fuse bypass. By the way I decided to put on the plastic pin cover for the C238 plug (3 months ago I retrofitted the leveling sensors, installed european headlights and added related 3 pins there but forgot to put the cover). I put everything together and after the ignition the SHIFT SYS FAULT error appeared on the IPC. I connected Forscan right away and those two errors were found: PCM: U0103:00-AF Lost Communication With Gear Shift Control Module "A" GSM: U0100:87-8B Lost Communication With ECM/PCM A (87 means Missing Message) I ran BCM self test and additional errors appeared: C1D00:11 Park Brake Apply Switch - Circuit short to Ground B1D03:15 - Right High Beam Circuit - Circuit Short to Battery or Open B1D02:15 - Left High Beam Circuit - Circuit Short to Battery or Open B143B:11 - Autolamp on input - Circuit short to Ground B143C:11 - Headlamp off Input - Circuit short to Ground Apart of the DTC's there are no other symptoms. Gear shift works, as well the right and left high beams or the headlamp switch. Errors appear again right after I try to erase them. I tried to plug off and on the BCM plugs near to the fuse box, and this C238 near to the glove box. Also disconnected the positive on the battery but without any luck. What could I look at? UPDATE: I reconnected the C238 without this plastic pin cover and this Gear Shift error disappeared. So some pins had to be pushed out. Now I need to find which one.

I bought Kuga MK3 ACM, JX71-18K810-ZR. Take into account that you will need to modify the chasis as the mounting brackets don’t fit. I used threaded rivets to achieve this. I also exchanged the antenna amplifier because there’s no such pin in the new ACM. JX7T-18C847-AB (from Focus MK4) fitted quite well. Another thing is that GPS antena has a splitter near the passengers glove box. Then there are two wires ended with Fakra plugs - 1st goes into the ACM (it’s for the satellite radio) and the 2nd goes into the APIM. If you leave it like that, you won’t have GPS signal in your APIM (antenna is powered from the one wire only - that one which is for the ACM). Therefore you need either to remove the splitter or to make an adapter from yellow fakra to blue fakra (I did it this way). And obviously you need to make an adapter for the ACM main plugs as they are much different + coding.

@enigma-2 thank you, appreciate that. I'm not sure if that's correct according to the DTC errors. When I disconnected Front Right and Front Left terminals, I lost tweeters and additional errors for speakers 10 and 9 appeared. Generally, the problem is solved. Checked ACM Asbuilt DB again and tried to play with Forscan. It turned out that I had set Tweeter and Speaker for Speaker 3 and Speaker 4. When I changed both to no speaker, I lost sound from front tweeters even though the wires were connected. But the errors disappeared. Then I changed to Tweeter only and I regained tweeter sound and no errors. Therefore Speaker 4 and Speaker 3 have to be the midrange speakers in the front doors which are drived by DSP in my case.

Hey guys. This is my first post here as I usually to search in first place. I'm from Poland and I have imported 2019 Titanium with B&O sound system. Unfortunately american ACM doesn't have the DAB, full RDS and so on. As there's no european ACM with A2B interface for Edge, I had to figure something out. I found out that I could get Kuga (european name for Escape), Explorer ACM, make plugs adapter and after proper configuration everything should work. And generally it works, I think all of the speakers are working fine but I get two DTC's for the ACM module: B1A03:13 and B1A04:13 which indicate open circuit for speakers 3 and 4. I tried to find a location of those speakers so I could modify my configuration a little but I failed. "walkaround" test isn't helpful because the speakers change quickly and I can't recognize which speaker plays at the moment. I have the workshop manual but seems like it doesn't have the pinpoint tests for speakers. Anyone could share the info what are the speakers 3 and 4?
