U3000SYNC module internal fault

• Ford code · Infotainment

How the car detects it

U3000 is the standard 'control module' code; Ford's SYNC module (APIM) uses it for a fault inside the module. Ford bulletin 13-6-17 (2012-2014 Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-MAX, Escape and others with SYNC, not MyFord Touch) lists U3000:04 with SYNC slow or not responding and fixes it by updating the APIM software. For types 41 and 42 (checksum or memory) Ford's chart clears the code and replaces the APIM only if it returns; type 88 (bus off) is a passing network problem, usually wiring or a low battery.
