Summary
Some 2025 Aviator vehicles may exhibit approach detection/welcome lighting inoperative. This may be due to the configuration of the BCM with RU5T-14C184-AGY software. To confirm a vehicle is equipped with a certain software level, review the software information by hovering over the "Diagnostics" tab in Professional Technician System (PTS) and selecting "Vehicle Software". For vehicles with RU5T-14C184-AGY software in the BCM, download and run the "BCM - Body Control Module (BCM) Software Update" application using the latest version of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool. For vehicles with any other software level in the BCM, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-14 to continue with normal diagnostics outside of this article. For claiming, use causal part 15604 and labor operations 12651D and 12651D4.
