Skimco Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 So I tried to go out this morning and back out of the driveway and i just happened to be putting it in reverse while the sync was "performing scheduled maintenance" and after the back up camera didnt come on i put it back in park and tried to let it do its thing. NO such Luck ....All it will do is is try to perform the scheduled maintenance reset and then a really quick error box pops up that i cant even see. and then the ford emblem thing comes up and then it goes black....Anyone else had this issue?...I tried taking out the 29 fuse but no luck. Any help would be great. Ill try and post a video later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 This is exactly what happened to my wife's brand new Explorer. Fuse 29 is no good for this. We brought it back to the dealer and they had to re-flash MFT. It was done in an hour and a half. No issues since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What version are you on? Maybe it's time to get v2.8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this is a good thing or will it now have other bugs due to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be concerned about the dealership's tech that tried to update your system resulting in a "bricked" apim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surge9609 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 WOW!! Those are great shots of the windows errors. I don't think they have ever been captured before I took a shot also. The continuous reboot starting happening after 2 months (2000 miles). Dealer will have to replace APIM module (week to get the part) I think it says "Application vca_app.exe encountered a serious error and must shut down."

Kyle Hale Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) In case any one else is wondering, the vca_app is the Voice Command Audio application. It builds voice commands from the audio devices you have connected to the system (so you can say "Play Elvis Presley" and it knows what to do.) If any of your audio tracks contain certain characters which the VCA_App can't handle, it fails with this serious error. Unfortunately, the only solution I've found is to remove the tracks from your device or rename them on your computer.
