Repair/Claim Coding

Causal Part:19J235
Condition Code:04

Service Procedure

1. Connect a battery charger to the 12-volt battery.

NOTE: To prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle, make sure the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12-volt battery negative terminal. Do not have the vehicle plugged into the high voltage battery charger during programming. This can cause incorrect module programming. Make sure only the 12-volt battery charger is installed.

2. Reprogram the WACM using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS).

The same issues are present for 2018 and 2019 model years. Why are they excluded?
