Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

REFER to: Wireless Accessory Charging Module (WACM) - System Operation and Component Description (414-06 Accessory Charging, Description and Operation).

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
BCM B1554:11 Wireless Accessory Charger Enable/Disable: Circuit Short To Ground This DTC sets when the module senses lower than expected voltage on the WACM hardwired status circuit, indicating a short to ground. The primary method of configuring WACM off during an interior key search may not work; the CAN signal backup is the only mechanism to prevent WACM from interfering with an interior key search.
BCM B1554:13 Wireless Accessory Charger Enable/Disable: Circuit Open This DTC sets when the module senses no voltage on the WACM hardwired status circuit, indicating an open circuit. The primary method of configuring WACM off during an interior key search may not work; the CAN signal backup is the only mechanism to prevent WACM from interfering with an interior key search.

Possible Sources

  • Wiring, terminals or connectors
  • WACM

Visual Inspection and Pre-checks

  • Recheck wireless charging process with a known good smart phone that contains the built-in wireless charging technology. Or test wireless charging process with a cell phone with a wireless-capable back cover or adapter.
  • With a known compatible cell phone resting on the WACM pad, monitor the FCIM (if equipped) or IPC message center (if equipped) for the WACM charging status message "Wireless Charger Active". This message displays after a cell phone has been laid on the charging pad and has started a wireless charging session (may only appear on first charging session of a given ignition cycle). A recheck of this message can be performed by turning the ignition off, then back on, then placing the compatible phone back on the charging pad.
  • The "Charge Terminated" message will typically appear within 25 seconds after a foreign object /phone misaligned is detected on the charging pad.
  • Inspect for loose or corroded WACM connections.
  • A list of compatible devices can be found at https://owner.ford.com/WirelessPhoneCharging. If a customer's device is not on the list, they should check with their phone manufacturer to determine if it supports wireless charging. Not all phones are compatible with wireless charging. The referenced website also includes information about how cases can affect wireless charging, and many other relevant FAQs.

PINPOINT TEST C : U3003:16, U3003:17

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

REFER to: Wireless Accessory Charging Module (WACM) - System Operation and Component Description (414-06 Accessory Charging, Description and Operation).

The WACM requires an operating voltage that is between 9 and 15.5 volts. The WACM receives this voltage from the BCM. The WACM has a single ground circuit located in the passenger compartment wiring harness. Excessive resistance or an open in one or more of these circuits, a discharged battery, and overcharging condition or a inoperative charging system results in the WACM setting a DTC.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
WACM U3003:16 Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Below Threshold Sets in the WACM if it detects battery voltage below 9 volts on the voltage supply circuit for 2.5 seconds or longer.
WACM U3003:17 Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Above Threshold Sets in the WACM if it detects battery voltage above 15.5 volts on the voltage supply circuit for 2.5 seconds or longer.

Possible Sources

Are any low or high voltage Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded in the ACM, or WACM?
Yes For DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)U3003:16 and U3003:17, GO to Pinpoint Test C
No GO to F4

F4 CHECK FOR CORRECT ACM (AUDIO FRONT CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
  • Ignition OFF.
  • Disconnect and inspect the ACM connector.
  • Repair:
    • corrosion (install new connector or terminals – clean module pins)
    • damaged or bent pins – install new terminals/pins
    • pushed-out pins – install new pins as necessary
  • Reconnect all ACM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
  • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new ACM. For vehicles without Sync 3 refer to:
REFER to: Audio Front Control Module (ACM) (415-00A Information and Entertainment System - General Information - Vehicles Without: SYNC 3, Removal and Installation).
For vehicles with Synch 3 refer to: REFER to: Audio Front Control Module (ACM) (415-00A Information and Entertainment System - General Information - Vehicles Without: SYNC 3, Removal and Installation).
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.

PINPOINT TEST G : U3000:41, U3000:42, U3000:49

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

REFER to: Wireless Accessory Charging Module (WACM) - System Operation and Component Description (414-06 Accessory Charging, Description and Operation).

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
WACM U3000:41 Control Module: General Checksum Failure This DTC sets due to incomplete or improper PMI procedures.
WACM U3000:42 Control Module: General Memory Failure This DTC sets due to incomplete or improper PMI procedures.
WACM U3000:49 Control Module: Internal Electronic Failure This DTC sets in the WACM Field-Effect Transister (FET) protective circuit strategy for its actuator outputs has reached 100%.

Possible Sources

  • Vehicle communication bus
  • Incomplete or improper PMI procedures
  • WACM
G1 RECHECK THE WACM (WIRELESS ACCESSORY CHARGING MODULE) DTCS (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES)

NOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration may be incorrectly set during the PMI or the PMI may not have been carried out.

  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic trouble Codes (DTCs).
  • Ignition OFF.
  • Ignition ON.
  • Wait 10 seconds.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the WACM self-test.

Is 2100:00, U3000:41 or U3000:49 present?
Yes For DTC U3000:41, U3000:42, PERFORM the PMI procedure on the WACM.
REFER to: Module Programming (418-01 Module Configuration, General Procedures). For DTC U3000:49, INSTALL a new WACM
REFER to: Wireless Accessory Charging Module (WACM) (414-06 Accessory Charging, Removal and Installation).
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.

PINPOINT TEST H : U2100:00, U2101:00, U201A:51

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

REFER to: Wireless Accessory Charging Module (WACM) - System Operation and Component Description (414-06 Accessory Charging, Description and Operation).

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
WACM U2100:00 Initial Configuration Not Complete: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets due to incomplete or improper PMI procedures.
WACM U2101:00 Control Module Configuration Incompatible: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets due to incomplete or improper PMI procedures.
WACM U201A:51 Control Module Main Calibration Data: Not Programmed This DTC sets due to incomplete or improper PMI procedures.

Possible Sources

  • Vehicle communication bus
  • Incomplete or improper PMI procedures
  • WACM
H1 CHECK FOR RECENT SERVICE ACTIONS RELATED TO THE WACM (WIRELESS ACCESSORY CHARGING MODULE)
  • CHECK vehicle service history for recent service actions related to the WACM.

Has there been recent service issues against the WACM?
Yes GO to H2
No INSTALL a new WACM to correct the failure to retain configuration data.
REFER to: Wireless Accessory Charging Module (WACM) (414-06 Accessory Charging, Removal and Installation).

H2 RECHECK THE WACM (WIRELESS ACCESSORY CHARGING MODULE) DTCS (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES)

NOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration may be incorrectly set during the PMI or the PMI may not have been carried out.

NOTE: CHECK vehicle service history for recent service actions related to this module.
