You truly have no GPS reception (or processing) as far as the APIM is concerned, at least that is what the unit is telling us.
Iāll try to get another GPS to see if it works. Seems like my GPS is broken for some reason.
I have got the exacte same problems, i updated my sync 3.0 to Sync 3.4 (Build 21020) from the official Ford website, uploaded the logfile and all looked ok.
Exept that the GPS is not working anymore, the exact same as the pictures above, no gps fix and no satellites.
i tried:
Master reset
Soft Reset
Disconnect the car battery for 10 mins
Only thing to do is try updating to the latest 21098 Build.
I also tried all the mentioned steps with no luck. Hereās what I tried:
Used asbuilt from fusions 2019, 2018 and 2017
Downgrade to 3.4.20196
Master reset
Soft Reset
Disconnect the car battery for 10 mins
None of the above steps got the GPS signal back to normal. So, I guess my GPS went bad after the latest update and Iām going to try hooking another GPS to see if it works.
Ok guys, I updated to the latest Sync release [Sync 3.4.21194] yesterday and GPS signal didnāt come back. But I disconnected my GPS antenna (Iām suing finn shark antenna from Edge) from GPS Splitter cable and for some reason it still found some satellites in testing menu. So, my guess is Sync is getting locked by another GPS antenna, the one which is located above the instrument cluster. Iām going to try to disconnect it these days and see if itās the root of the issue. Iāll keep it posted.
GPSM, black box inside the dash above the instrument cluster or center of the dash. It will have 4 or 5 wires(?). Just disconnect it and connect the shark fin back in.
Ok, guys. Iāve found a troubleshooting guide from Ford here. In my case, my GPS antenna went bad. Just left it here, guess it might be useful for anybody with the same issue.

I USB upgraded my 2018 raptor to 21098 and lost GPS so I tried 21194 - made it worse. Now I not only have no GPS - the system thinks it is in Michigan somewhere.
funā¦lots of fun.
Now what? I am really at a loss what to do. Can I load back to 3.3 version and keep the newest version of map via USB load?
my original version was 3.3.19068 NA17
thats just the default location, its not worse than before
See this thread:
I down graded to 3.3.19052 and still NO GPS
truck thinks ii is in Dearborn MI
What do the diagnostic screens tell you? (See above). Follow the pinpoint test aboveā¦You might try a reformat with new maps to see if that will clear the caches, etc.
up to the point of upgrading GPS worked fine.
I pulled the APIM disconn and verified all cablingā¦NPF
why would hardware āall of the suddenā after an upgrade not work?
because it is not a hardware issue - its a GPS address issue in the programming.
downgraded to original settings - original map version
It looks good - works good - NO GPS
What do you see in Location Diagnostics screens? You need more than 3 satellites for GPS.
If you arenāt going to provide the information we requested we canāt help you. Yes it could be a programing issue but it wonāt be the software as that isnāt what controls the GPS, thatās controlled on asbuilt so something is likely wrong in that.
Either way show your diagnostics
If you are referring to satellite test screens - they are all blank - no data
NO data for satellite settings for any version I have upgraded or downgraded
from 3.4 21194 - 21098 - 20196 - 3.3 19068
