2017 Ford explorer Sport
First time post. Forgive my ignorance as I might not know as much as everyone else.

I have a 2017 Ford Explorer sport that has been a pain in neck for me. I'm in a web of mechanical/electrical issues I can not find my way out of.

Short list of what has been done.

Both turbos replaced @ 94,000
Engine replaced @ 95,000 (Used W/ 44,000 miles on engine

Replaced rear differential 1 month after new engine. ( Replaced with used )
* I was driving when a bad vibration started and warning that AWD was disabled.​
When that was replaced, so was both rear speed sensors. Since then I continue to still have ABS, both traction control lights, Tire pressure light light.
I have replaced both sensors twice already. I bought cheap ones, then motorcraft ones. I had the wiring connectors to the sensors replaced, I replaced the LR wheel bearing, replaced the battery, replaced the ABS module. I checked all the fuses, replace parking sensors.

I'm sure I'm missing somethings. Here's my issue. I have put too much money into this car now. I spent more on it than I owe. I cant validate spending more money trying to find it. So , I left trying to learn how to use Forscan, carscanner, torque, and all the other programs to help pinpoint me in the direction to fix this.

Longer way around to it but here's my question, I scanned and this is what my APIM serial number shows as. Is the APIM bad?

Welcome to the Forum. :wave:
I'm not a FORScan person so I'm not familiar with all the items posted but I don't believe the APIM is causing the issues. See the first response in this article I found. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiu8uin0vSGAxUfF1kFHQAfA3kQFnoECBIQAw&url=https://www.quora.com/What-does-the-APIM-module-control#:~:text=The%20Accessory%20Protocol%20Interface%20Module,Powertrain%20Control%20Module%20(PCM).&usg=AOvVaw2IvoepCIL4atFmzc9KnWYx&opi=89978449
What is your current Sync 3 software version? Just curious.

What DTC's do you get?
