- 11003139On 2020-2024 Explorer/Police Interceptor Utility vehicles, customers may desire modifications that require access to the driver's door ajar circuit. In some cases customers may experience an ajar light on when the driver's door is fully closed. When using pin 13 on the factory 14-way connector to access the driver's door ajar circuit, a 70 mA maximum coil current relay with an integrated clamping diode is required to protect against damage to the door latch. Failure to install this correctly will result in repeat warnings that the driver's door latch/door ajar light will remain on until it is compliant with police modifier's bulletin P-032, which can be found on the Police body builder's site (https://fordbbas.com/publications).

This may be due to incorrect configuration data in the TCU, audio front control module (ACM) and/or accessory protocol interface module (APIM) modules. To correct the condition, download and run the TCU-Telematics Control Unit (TCU) Module Configuration application and the APIM-Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Configuration application using the latest level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool. If the APIM is not available on the vehicle, then run the configuration applications for the TCU-Telematics Control Unit (TCU) Module Configuration and the ACM-Audio Front Control Module (ACM) Configuration using the latest level of the FDRS scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 14G087 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
