Good morning everyone. I have a problem with my 2019 Ranger. I can’t start the truck with FordPass. The option doesn’t appear in the app. My truck is fully equipped as-built, with all the necessary features. Ford Assistance tells me that 2019 Rangers aren’t enabled for this function, and consequently, it won’t activate. In the Sync system, updated to version 3.4, in a hidden menu, I see the incorrect APIM settings: manual transmission (mine is automatic), gasoline (mine is diesel), and the TCU isn’t active. What do I need to do to fix this? Has anyone else experienced this? Or does anyone have a 2019 Ranger with the remote start function enabled?
buenos dias a todos. tengo un problema con mi ranger 2019. no puedo encender el truck con fordpass. no aparece la opcion en el app. mi carro es abilitado tramite as built con todo lo que sirve. y nada me dice centro asistencia ford que los ranger del 2019 no estan abilitados para esta funcion y de consecuencia no me activan. en el sync actualizado a 3.4 menu escondido veo la configuracion apim equivocada cambio manual y la mia es automatica, gasoline y la mia es diesel y sin tcu activa. que tengo que hacer para arreglar eso?. alguien le ha pasado lo mismo?. o alguno de ustedes tiene un ranger del 2019 con la funcion activa remote start?
Yes, I already made some modifications in the as-built settings. I enabled apim/tcu/bydcm/ipc remote start. My key fob only has two buttons: lock and unlock. Without the second button, I’ve tried several combinations, but it doesn’t work. Today, while checking, I noticed that Sync 3, after the last 3.4 update, shows incorrect information in the hidden Bezel APIM Diagnostics menu. It’s very important to note that it shows manual fuel mode and no TCU, which is the opposite. However, the Forscan as-built and Configuration Menu settings show everything correctly. What do I need to do to fix this bug? Could that be the problem? Could it be a firmware update issue?
You have the wrong FOB, a Ford remote start has a 3rd crank button and you hit LOCK followed by the CRANK button 2x to start. The car never gets a crank signal
Your AB changes have a problem, post your AB. Odds are either you misunderstood the change or your HEX addition/subtraction are wrong.
If Ford does not have this feature turned on in their servers than there is nothing you can do that will make it work. No AB setting will magiclly make it work.
DIRECT LINK TO HOW I HAVE IT DOWNLOADED AT THIS MOMENT WITH SYNC UPDATER.
SYNC shows that my Ranger is a manual gasoline engine and doesn’t have a TCU. IT’ THE COMPLETE OPOSSITE. It works with the FordPass app; the doors lock and unlock, the diesel level, TPMS, and everything else work except for remote start.
The Ford Assistance Center was no help. I tried to explain, but they just told me it’s not available for the 2019 Ranger. I tried telling them I know people with the same Ranger who have it active, and they said they still couldn’t help me. I explained that I had remote climate control, but after the update, I don’t have that either. I also said I have a discrepancy in the SYNC system, and nothing. SAY The Forpass Center will contact me by email.
The information there does NOT relate to you asbuilt, it is the default settings in the firmware, ignore it.
If the information in the FordPass servers according to your vin does not have the remote start feature enabled according to your OEM asbuilt then you will not be able to change it.
With my key i have only 2 button, when I press the -button lock/unlock/unlock,the instrument cluster lights up. The position lights flash, but the engine doesn’t start.
Ford will not change this. If they did that would have made alot of us happy.
This is not how the remote start works. As Warlock mentioned you must have another remote start button so you clearly have the wrong remote to even have remote start. The button combination you mention will work with some aftermarket systems but not with Ford. Never has worked for Ford.
I agree with bill32399. I have installed many an aftermarket remote start on vehicles and if you have a remote start in your vehicle that starts with that sequence, then it is not a Ford remote start that I have ever experienced but an aftermarket one.
Normally the ones I deal with either use a lock-lock-lock or a lock-unlock-lock sequence to start the vehicle. If the remote start does not start after using the correct sequence, then a precondition is not met.
Maybe look for a non-Ford module under the dash and if you find it, send a picture of it.
