Title: Synch 3 spontaneous reboot
Post by: jbrown9999 on January 12, 2017, 07:12:50 PM
So, was driving my car the other morning, and my Synch 3 spontaneously rebooted while I was driving!  My car is only a few months old.

Has anyone else seen this happen?

That's basically just Sync updating itself,similar to (maintenance mode) with the black screen thats lasts for a few min and no need for alarm unless there are DTC set.
There is a TSB,SSM on the APIM interface module protocol.  Z

So, Z, pretend I'm new, pretend I just got my car on 9/30 and have NO clue what all those acronyms are.  In other words, "Huh?"  LOL!

I would start off by login/setup your Ford account and check for any such recalls
https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/maintenance/recalls/results.html

If you have an Sct you can check for any DTC'C related to the above mentoned post.  Z
The APIM module is located behind the front screen and might just need updating so basically a dealer visit might be necessary to fix any issues you are experiencing if any codes are present otherwise would not worry .Z
I would also return to stock tune.
