Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

With the ignition ON, the APIM sends messages to the SASM through the GWM and over the HS-CAN 2. If the SASM does not receive these messages within a certain time frame (usually less than 1 second), the SASM sets DTCs. For information on the messages sent to the SASM by the APIM, refer to the Network Message Chart in  ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) AND STABILITY CONTROL - SYSTEM OPERATION AND COMPONENT DESCRIPTION  .

U0253:00 Lost Communication With Accessory Protocol Interface Module: No Sub Type Information Sets in continuous memory and on-demand when the SASM detects any of the APIM messages are missing. This can be due to a APIM failure, a circuit failure on the HS-CAN or an excessive load on the network.
