Reset FET's U1000, U3000

Post by Pitbull2o08 »

Hi friends. 2011 F150 here

I had hyperflash for a couple weeks and didn't remedy it due to being too busy. Now I have codes U1000 and U3000. My research has led me to beleive I'm having FET.
Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Protection

A Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that, when used with module software, monitors and controls current flow on module outputs. The FET protection strategy prevents module damage in the event of excessive current flow.

The BCM utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (such as a headlamp output circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically short circuits) and are shut down when a fault event is detected. A short circuit DTC is stored at the fault event and a cumulative counter is started.

When the demand for the output is no longer present, the module resets the FET protection, allowing the circuit to function. If the circuit is still shorted the next time the driver requests a circuit to activate that has been shut down by a previous short ( FET protection), the FET protection shuts off the circuit again and the cumulative counter advances.

When the excessive circuit load occurs often enough, the module shuts down the output until a repair procedure is carried out. Each FET protected circuit has 3 predefined levels of short circuit tolerance based on the harmful effect of each circuit fault on the FET and the ability of the FET to withstand it. A module lifetime level of fault events is established based upon the durability of the FET . If the total tolerance level is determined to be 600 fault events, the 3 predefined levels would be 200, 400 and 600 fault events.

When a tolerance level is reached, the short circuit DTC that was stored on the first failure cannot be cleared by the clear the continuous DTCs command. The module does not allow this code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal operation until a successful self-test proves that the fault has been repaired. After the self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs present), DTC U1000:00 and the associated DTC (the DTC related to the shorted circuit) automatically clears and the circuit function returns. The module never resets the fault event counter to zero and continues to advance the fault event counter as short circuit fault events occur.

If the number of short circuit fault events reach the third level, then DTCs U1000:00 and U3000:49 set along with the associated short circuit DTC. DTC U3000:49 cannot be cleared and the module must be replaced after the repair.

The BCM FET protected output circuits for the turn lamps system are the front turn and mirror turn lamp output circuits.
I cannot clear my DTC's nor reset my BCM and remove these codes. Any brainstorming and help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi...i am a new user here. I have a 2016 F-350 Lariat. BUT, on my previous truck, a 2005 Silverado diesel I was able to make a modification that turned on ALL the lights when I put on the high beams... All I had to was put a couple diodes between the relays and when I hit the brights, the brights came on, the low beams STAYED on, the fog lights came on, and the daytime running lights also came on. It was VERY handy when being out in the hinterlands and needing to see to the sides as well as far ahead... Is there the same capability with the Ford? If so, can someone point me to the info?

No need to change BCM.
No need to reprogram after repair.
keep original information for startup

Hi guys, I have a 2011 Ford F150 with bcm problems. Presents DTC code U1000 U 1000. The codes will not be erased. I have ForScan. Does anyone have the process for the reset or the solution.

I have the same code: U3000:49 in the BCM on two different trucks. Cargo lights and puddle lamps no longer work. There are no shorts or grounds on any of the circuits, they just simply quit working.
There HAS to be a way to clear this!
I watched most of the video above but I cannot make out what's going on in the hex file.
I've honestly considered wiring a relay parallel to the dome light and powering the puddle and cargo lights with that.
HELP!!
