  1. X1 CHECK FOR SCAN TOOL COMMUNICATION WITH THE APIM 
    • Using the scan tool, carry out the network test.
    • Does the APIM pass the network test? 
  2. X2 CHECK THE SYNC® SYSTEM OPERATION 
    NOTE: Carrying out a Master Reset returns all preference settings to the factory defaults, erases all the phone book and call histories, and deletes any devices paired with the SYNC® system.
    • Connect: Multi-Media Interface Tester (105-00120).
    • Using the Multi-Media Interface Tester (105-00120), TEST the audio output for the audio input jack, USB port, and Bluetooth connection using the VOICE switch on the steering wheel controls to enter each mode.
    • Do all of the SYNC® inputs function correctly? 
    • Yes  : The SYNC® system is operating correctly at this time. CARRY OUT a SYNC® system Master Reset. REFER to the Owner's Literature.

      REVIEW the SYNC® system operation with the customer. If the customer device still does not operate correctly, the fault is with the customer device.

    • No  : GO to X3.
  3. X3 RESET THE APIM AND RECHECK SYNC® SYSTEM OPERATION 
    • Carry out an APIM power reset by disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes, then reconnecting it.
    • Connect: Multi-Media Interface Tester (105-00120).
    • Using the Multi-Media Interface Tester (105-00120), TEST the audio output for the audio input jack, USB port, and Bluetooth connection using the VOICE switch on the steering wheel controls to enter each mode.
    • Do all of the SYNC® inputs function correctly? 
    • Yes  : The SYNC® system is operating correctly at this time. CARRY OUT a SYNC® system Master Reset. REFER to the Owner's Literature.

      REVIEW the SYNC® system operation with the customer. If the customer device still does not operate correctly, the fault is with the customer device.

    • No  : If only some (but not all) of the inputs are inoperative, GO to Symptom Chart - SYNC System  to diagnose the observed symptom. If all inputs are inoperative and/or DTC U3000:04 is present, INSTALL a new APIM. REFER to ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) .
