2008 radio issues


Recommended Posts

My 2008 Ford Edge limited has issues with radio possibly antenna no frequency outside urban areas,  Bluetooth connection intermittently works, when key is installed CD goes through a 5 minute 6 CD cycle and stops, I live in rural so it’s grim without the hands free and news / music in my Edge. Any thoughts out there, also the putting up with clunk from rear differential!!!.??£{…|”%

I start by putting the radio into diagnostics and see what codes show up. To enter the audio unit self-diagnostic mode, the audio unit must be turned on and in radio tuner mode (AM/FM).

 

To enter the following tests, press the desired preset button while in the speaker walk-around test or while in the audio unit self-diagnostic mode.

 

The self-diagnostic mode has the following functions available:

  • Preset button 1 = On-Demand Self-Test. This button runs the on-demand self-test.
    • Pressing the MENU DOWN button allows scrolling of any DTCs found during the test while in this menu.
  • Preset button 2 = Display Continuous DTCs. This button enables viewing of any continuous DTCs that have been logged.
    • Pressing the MENU UP button allows scrolling of any DTCs while in this menu.
    • While continuous DTCs are being displayed, pressing the EJECT button will clear all present DTCs.
  • Preset button 3 = Signal Strength Test. This button displays the signal strength.
  • Preset button 4 = Software Version Display. This button displays the audio unit software version.
    • Pressing the MENU UP button allows scrolling of all audio subsystem software versions while in this menu.
  • Preset button 5 = Display Test. This test illuminates all the display segments for 5 seconds, then turns all segments off.
  • Preset button 6 = Configuration Status. This button enables audio unit configuration status.
    • Pressing the MENU button displays the ACM part number while in this menu.
    •  
    • To exit the self-diagnostic mode, turn the audio unit off or turn the key OFF.
    •  
    • If the concern remains and the fault is not detected, GO to Symptom Chart - Audio System to continue diagnostics.
