11. From the OASIS tab, select the "SYNC" button. The Last Recorded State — Software is displayed.

12. NOTE: There are 3 types of APIM programming available:

Standard — Used to update the APIM and any currently installed Applications to the latest software levels. Custom — Used to show all the available software options (including Applications that may not have been installed previously) that can be programmed into the APIM. Use this selection when upgrades become available or as directed by a TSB or FSA. Module Replacement — Used when the APIM has been replaced. This type of programming performs the required provisioning (restores software for newly installed hardware).

The current APIM assembly, Vehicle Interface Processor (VIP), and Consumer Interface Processor (CIP) software levels are compared to the last recorded state in the Ford online database, and the available software is displayed.

14. NOTE: Do not disconnect the VCM or USB cable during APIM programming unless directed by the diagnostic scan tool on-screen prompts.

Select the "Program SYNC" button to begin the APIM programming process.

15. Follow the diagnostic scan tool on-screen directions. After programming is complete, the diagnostic scan tool displays "Programming has been successfully completed."
