Audio Control Module (ACM)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Audio Control Module (ACM) can be operated with the key in RUN or ACC. The accessory delay feature allows the audio system to be operated for a preset period of time after the key is turned off and a front door has not been opened. The ACM sends AC voltage audio signals to the speakers or to the amplifiers, depending on vehicle configuration. The ACM can produce its own DTCs, which can be communicated to the scan tool through the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN).
