Component Description: ACM

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ACM can be operated with the ignition in RUN, ACC, or OFF.

The ACM receives radio waves containing audio from the antenna coaxial cables and converts them into fluctuating AC voltage. The ACM receives stereo and mono audio signals from the APIM in the form of fluctuating AC voltage. The ACM processes all inputs, and sends stereo analog audio signals to the audio DSP module as fluctuating AC voltage. The audio DSP module processes the audio signals and sends them to the speakers as fluctuating AC voltage.

The ACM receives radio waves containing satellite radio and HD Radio® data through the antenna coaxial cables. The data is sent to be displayed on the centerstack infotainment display.

The ACM requires PMI when it is replaced.
