Triggers for ADAS recalibration
Windshield Replacement 2015 Affected: IPMA, LDW, LKA, Pre-Collision Assist (if equipped)
Static IPMA calibration required (target-based, Rotunda 164-R5500 or equiv). Wait 24+ hours after installation before calibrating (glass cure time). Ford-approved glass only - aftermarket glass tint in camera sweep zone not supported. Dynamic drive confirmation recommended after static (45+ mph, lane markings, 5+ min). DTC B1A13 or C1A13 = failed/missed calibration.
Front Bumper Removal or Replacement 2015 Affected: Front Radar (ACC/PCA), Front Park Aid Sensors
Front radar mechanical aim check per Ford WSM (vertical and horizontal within ±1.0°). Inspect mounting bracket for deformation - bent bracket causes permanent misalignment. Park Aid sensor reinstall at correct flush depth (±0.5mm). Vehicle at curb weight on level surface before aim.
Front-End Collision 2015 Affected: IPMA, Front Radar, Front Park Aid, BLIS (if quarter panel deformation)
Inspect ALL sensor mounting brackets for deformation. Full IPMA static calibration + radar aim check + Park Aid verification. RCM evaluation for crash data. If quarter panels affected, check BLIS sensor mounting.
Rear Bumper or Quarter Panel Repair 2015 Affected: BLIS / CTA (rear quarter sensors), Rear Park Aid, Rear View Camera
BLIS/CTA sensors on P552 are in REAR QUARTER PANELS - inspect mounting bracket after any rear quarter work. FDRS scan for BLIS DTCs. Park Aid sensor depth check. RVC aim verify. No formal recalibration for BLIS but confirm mounting bracket integrity and run FDRS PMI verify.
Lift or Level Kit Installation 2015 Affected: Front Radar (vertical aim), IPMA (field of view shift)
Front radar vertical aim must be re-checked per Ford WSM after any ride height change. IPMA static recalibration recommended if lift is >1 inch. SAS zero reset required after suspension height change.
Wheel Alignment 2015 Affected: Steering Angle Sensor (SAS)
SAS zero calibration required at conclusion of every alignment. SAS communicates with ABS/ESC module and IPMA - incorrect SAS zero causes lane departure false alerts and ESC drift.
Airbag Deployment 2015 Affected: RCM, all deployed airbags, seatbelt pretensioners
RCM replacement mandatory after hard deployment (non-resettable B0001/B0002). Replace all deployed airbag components and pretensioners. FDRS PMI on new RCM. Full SRS system self-test and squib resistance check before delivery.
Any Module Replacement (GEM, PCM, IPC) 2015 Affected: PATS system - all keys erased
Any GEM, PCM, or IPC replacement requires full PATS re-initialization. All programmed keys are erased from GEM memory and must be re-programmed. Retain old module for as-built data extraction via FDRS if possible.
Forward Camera Replacement 2015-2019
Camera module replacement requires full recalibration using FDRS/IDS.
Forward Radar Replacement 2015-2019
Radar module replacement requires alignment/calibration using FDRS/IDS.
BSM Sensor Replacement 2015-2019
Blind spot monitoring sensor replacement requires calibration using FDRS/IDS.
Mirror Replacement 2015
If BSD sensor is mirror-integrated, recalibration required. Verify sensor location; use FDRS/IDS if applicable.
Windshield Replacement 2016-2020 Affected: IPMA, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, AEB, BlueCruise (if equipped), 360 Camera
Ford-approved glass only. Forward camera calibration must use the correct Ford service procedure and target placement for this vehicle year. Complete the required scan-tool calibration and road drive with visible lane markings after static setup. DTC C1028 is common after improper reinstall or bracket/glass mismatch.
Front Bumper Repair or Replacement 2016-2020 Affected: CCM (Forward Radar), ACC, Pre-Collision Assist, AEB, BlueCruise, Front Park Aid Sensors
Forward radar alignment must use the correct Ford service procedure and aim specification for this vehicle year. Perform the required scan-tool/static CCM alignment after bumper, bracket, or radar service. Inspect the radar bracket and bumper beam for deformation before calibration. Vehicle must be at curb weight.
Rear Bumper or Tail Lamp Repair 2016-2020 Affected: BLIS SODL/SODR, Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Park Aid Sensors
SODL/SODR PMI required via FDRS if tail lamps disconnected or replaced. BLIS fault will disable BlueCruise - verify BLIS operation before BlueCruise diagnostics. Rear park aid static calibration if bumper cover removed.
Any Collision 2016-2020 Affected: RCM, IPMA, CCM, SODL/SODR, all deployed airbags and sensors
Full ADAS scan mandatory. SRS crash data in RCM - reset or replace before delivery. All ADAS modules must be verified. NL3T- module replacements required - do not install ML3T- carryover units. Check OTA status after all module work is complete.
Lift or Level Kit Installation 2016-2020 Affected: CCM (Forward Radar), IPMA (if windshield angle affected)
Radar static alignment required after any suspension height change. Vehicle must be at final ride height before calibration. BlueCruise may be disabled if radar aim is out of spec - verify after calibration.
Mirror Replacement 2016-2020 Affected: 360 Camera side views, DDM/PDM BLIS LED
360 camera side alignment required if camera-equipped mirrors replaced (FDRS). BLIS mirror LEDs controlled by DDM/PDM - confirm LED function after reinstall. PMI if mirror module replaced.
OTA Update Failure / Partial OTA 2016-2020 Affected: Any module receiving OTA update (PCM, SYNC, IPMA, GWM, CCM)
A partial or interrupted OTA can leave a module in an inoperable state. Check FordPass/FDRS for OTA status before starting any programming session. Complete pending OTAs before FDRS work, or disable vehicle network access (WiFi/cellular) before starting.
Any Module Replacement 2016-2020 Affected: All programmed modules
FDRS PMI required - VIN coding and VBP (Vehicle Build Profile) write. GWM cascade updates may affect IPMA, PSCM, CCM, CMR. Save AS-BUILT before removal. NL3T- parts only - no cross-generation substitution.
Forward Camera Replacement 2020
Camera module replacement requires full recalibration using FDRS/IDS.
Forward Radar Replacement 2020
Radar module replacement requires alignment/calibration using FDRS/IDS.
BSM Sensor Replacement 2020
Blind spot monitoring sensor replacement requires calibration using FDRS/IDS.

WHAT WE RESOLVE
Thirteenth Generation (2015-2020) common module and ADAS issues
- ADAS calibration drift Watch for calibration needs after windshield, bumper, suspension, camera, or radar work. Documented systems include Forward Camera (Monocular) (2015-2016), Forward Radar (77GHz) (2015-2016), BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) (2015-2016), and Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) (2015-2016). Year-marked systems apply only to the shown range.
- SRS crash-data and warning light SRS service can involve Restraint Control Module (RCM) (2015), Restraint Control Module (RCM) (2016-2017), and Restraint Control Module (RCM) (2018-2019). Part numbers and crash-data workflow are confirmed for the exact year/VIN.
- Replacement module setup ECU/PCM replacement programming, BCM configuration, TCU/TCM cloning, ABS/EBCM setup are represented in the merged generation data. Rows with year ranges do not apply to every model year; verify by VIN.
- Gateway, key, and immobilizer access Gateway, key, and immobilizer procedures are represented by 17 merged security records. Access and all-keys-lost support varies by year - verify by VIN.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ
Can you program Ford F-150 (2015-2020) modules?
Yes. Core Auto Logic supports generation-scoped module programming for the Ford F-150 (2015-2020). The merged generation data includes ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS coverage. Rows marked with a year range apply only to that part of the span; unmarked rows are present across the merged generation data.
Which modules are documented for Ford F-150 (2015-2020)?
