SSM 46643 - 2015-2016 F-150 Audible Pop From Ford Accessory KickerŽ Subwoofer After Ignition Is Turned Off

Some 2015-2016 F-150 vehicles equipped with a Ford Accessory KickerŽ subwoofer may exhibit an audible pop from the subwoofer after turning off the ignition. Reprogram the audio control module (ACM) using Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) release 105.03 or higher. Make sure you are connected to the internet when entering module programming to obtain the latest updates.

 

I just installed this last weekend and noticed this issue yesterday. I wonder what could be done in forscan to correct this?

 

Yup I got this too happens about minute or so after I shut ignition off and open a door. As I'm usually not in there when it happens, wasn't to worried. Makes sense as to what's happening to me?

 

The way this SSM is worded leaves some questions.

Are factory installed Kicker systems not affected, or only those installed as a Ford Accessory?

I'm sure I am over thinking this...

 

Mine was an added accessory might as well add that

 

I'm under the impression factory installed systems aren't affected.

If so this won't be covered by warranty.

Would seem that someone should have the new calibration installed, then compare As Built data before and after. This may be something that can be edited with FORScan.

 

I was under the impression any ford certified accessories are included into the warranty when installed? (I know my sub had a warranty card that states something along those lines and mentioned a year/mileage or the factory warranty whichever was longer)

 

You may be correct

 

Sorry misread the post. Disregard this.

 

I understand this is an older thread...has anybody had this problem addressed by their dealer yet? Wondering if you were charged for this, or if warranty covered it?
