bf mk2 falcon radio codes

[Dean Bombinski]

I appreciate your reply to my questions.
I'm replacing my icc and information like this is of great assistance so that i can gradually teach myself about the system.
I have found a company where i live that seems to have a good reputation but it is in advantage to have a bit of knowledge of what they're up to.
Some of the new versions of the ICC that are compatible to my ba xr6 falcon seem pretty impressive .
Maybe if anybody has upgraded two a newer version thay might pass on any information that i might need to know.
Thanks again for you advice!
Regards
Dean

Not really sure what you mean by updated ICC.
There are basically 3 versions like : basic single zone ICC, single one with larger colorful screen and premium dual zone climate control with colorful screen.

Dean, I'd be checking HIM module . ICC sends via canbus doesn't actually do the control work . HIM's are notorious for failing when a motor get stuck causing it to overload. Usual suspect is the blend door shaft. If the HIM module cannot park the HVAC motors on ignition shut down ,ie default hot windscreen ,it will cause high fan speed, hot windscreen on start up.The ICC will not respond as its in HVAC limp mode as such .

That sounds a lot closer to the problem that I am having because the stereo never plays up.
I actually read something along those lines as well mate but your explanation seems to be a little bit easier to understand I appreciate that.
If I belt the left-hand side of the dash with a open hand between the glove box and the ICC that seems to disengage whatever is jamming.
But eventually I'm going to belt it and it won't work I think it's just enough to disengage it back to the correct setting. But I think I understand what you mean by the default setting because when I initially turn it on it's locked in the last setting that it was on i.e windscreen feet.
So obviously am I correct in thinking that your explanation of the HIM not reading the correct signal to switch it on or off from the ICC?
I think I'll ask my mate at the wreckers but we're definitely on the right track otherwise you would think that I would be having more problems.
It's the funny looking triangle sort of thing but I don't know where it lives, but I'm sure that I'll be able to find it.

Thanks for your patience i look forward to talking to you later on, your explanation turn the switch on and got me thinking.
Thanks again

In my experience, I have seen HIM modules fail with the following symptoms:
1- can't control temperature due to sticky blend door motor. Usually starts working after a good smack providing the shaft is not snapped( common on earlier built BA)
2- Blower motor fan stays on high speed at all times even with the ignition OFF due to blower motor speed controller ( integral to HIM) internal failure.
3- Ticking/clicking noise due to a cracked plastic gear inside the HIM( seen it on a 2010 territory, ).

The problem with frozen /not responding climate control buttons been fixed twice with ICC replacing.

ADR mandates that default is windscreen ,hot and high fan speed in the even of a module failure, IE demist windscreen. If the motors can't park when the key is turned off ie default setting it goes in limp mode. HIM module failures are common all the way through the B and F series as the are virtually identical Only real difference is the gas pressure run in the air con and software strategies.

If you clear the HIM codes the HIm will set a different parameter in the module and it will work kind off normally , may have hotter outlet temps , until you turn off the the key. Then the module will appear to fail again.. Reset the HIm and it will gain work kind of normal. The HIm has to cycle as its a self test.

Just a short thank you to everyone who helped me with the diagnosis of the problem with my BA Mark 2 XR6 Falcon.
My Ford dude connected up his computer and downloded the fault codes.
I was stoked the only fault code that appeared was for the HIM and nothing else which he even commented was excellent for a car of this age.
I explained to him that I had asked all you dudes for help and that the information that I knew about everything you had all passed on to me, and some I had found myself.
For a professional who does this for a living he even commented about how impressed he was with all of your knowledge about the subject.
The default resetting that one of you mentioned was 100% correct and we knew exactly where the problem was so that was excellent.
I'll be replacing the HIM the BEM the KEYS and the ICC with a new 2019 BA/ BF Android.
Thought you might like to know the most impressive thing about the new ICC is that it has a complete gauge system that you can virtually put any gauge you like on the screen which I thought was outstanding.
A much more accurate way to keep an eye on everything and also explains the diagnostics in layman's terms for knuckleheads like myself.
So thanks again for your clear and accurate help with my problem I will definitely look forward to talking with you all again.
All I've got to say is GNARLY GNARLY DUUUDES!
Regards
DEAN!

Hi Dean,

The intermittent locking of heater/vent functions being cleared sounds like the HIM module may have dirty connections or the ICC conection may not be seated fully, causing loss of communication up the IC2 bus, as the bus loops through all the modules.Try reseating the ICC first then the HIM connection with the battery disconnected, if this doesnt help, HIM failure is quite common on these cars.

hope this helps

Hey mate,so when you change your ba icc unit from standard to premium dual zone, him module wont work and you will have problem with fan and temperature. To fix it, use forscan,go to him module configration and change it to dual zone configration. That it, you will have working aircon and dualzone unit will act as single zone. Sorry just saw this post as i had same problem and came across solution without having to change him module.

Hi Guys, not sure if yours problems are related but in the chat they sound similar but I will get to that. I lost heating in my car about 3 years or more ago and assumed it was my HIM or blend door shaft but most likely it was the HIM as I could not hear it anymore when turning the temperature knob so I purchased a OBD2 test unit with FORScan Lite on my tablet to find out what was going on. The code was B1266 (Servo motor air intake left circuit failure) so I ran the HVAC test reset and the fault cleared and I could hear the motor work when I turned the temp knob but when I turned the ignition off and on it failed again so that was a year ago. Last week I decided to attempt to remove the dash, removed glove box, disconnected console, removed tissue holder and removed ICC (second LHS bottom plug was a shit to disconnect) and thought this job is bigger than first thought and I don't have the time at the moment so I inserted the ICC and reconnected it and then decided to run the OBD2 tester again running the test reset as the fault was still there and now my heater works and has been for the last 3 days, unbelievable it's not the HIM or blend door shaft at all it's obviously something else . Two nights ago I found a guy on YouTube who explains and shows a common cause for some of the topics in the chat and it has a lot to do with the main plug on the ICC unit and how the pins on the circuit board crack the solder (dry solder joints) caused by vibration (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww8cYtj1UhE), I am not saying this is my issue but if my heater stops working again I will definitely go down this path. I hope this helps and good luck.
