What data is the FordPass^® Connect* modem sending from my vehicle in factory setting?

Before delivery or during a partially activated state, certain limited data is already being sent to Ford's servers and cloud service providers. This includes diagnostic data such as:

• Malfunction Indicator Life (MILs) and Warning Indicator Light (WILs) when detected
• Maintenance data such as engine temperature
• The Electronic Serial Number (ESN) of the FordPass TCU modem
• SIM serial number (ICCID)
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

Apart from the list above, no other information is sent. The timing of when this data is sent varies. For example:

• Maintenance data is sent every time someone turns on the vehicle and takes it on a trip.
• Diagnostic data is sent when a problem is detected, when that happens, a signal is triggered and the data is sent to Ford.

Note: You can turn off your Vehicle Connectivity via your in-vehicle SYNC^®** system. If you do this, the sending of data from your vehicle's modem will cease.
