Component Description: ACM

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. 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 depending on the input received, sends stereo or mono analog audio signals to the speakers and subwoofer amplifier as fluctuating AC voltage. The subwoofer amplifier processes the audio signals and sends them to the subwoofer speaker 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.
