This may be due to the software within the front controls interface module (FCIM). To correct the condition, reprogram the FCIM using the latest software level of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 19980 and applicable labor operations in Section 12651D4 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual. After FCIM programing, check for A/C operation and correct as necessary.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10204034-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10204034-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10204034","components":[{"id":"visibility","name":"Glass, wipers and mirrors","parent":null},{"id":"hvac","name":"Heating and air conditioning","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"RANGER","year_from":2019,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2019_ford_ranger","2020_ford_ranger","2021_ford_ranger"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
