Ford Pcm Programming Software

This instruction show you guide on how to use Ford IDS Software to do PCM reprogramming for Ford Focus after PCM replacement.

Preparations:

Procedures:

  • Ford PCM firmware (calibration update) database. Ford Continental. Ford Crown victoria.
  • May 04, 2019 I've never tried programming a used PCM on a Ford before, but thought it might be possible after watching a couple of youtube videos showing how to do it. (smartass commentary welcome, and well deserved at this point.):-) In short, the videos show entering the programming procedure with the key.
Programming

Connect your Ford diagnostic tool (VCM2) to car obd port,then run software

Select “Start New Session”–>” All other”

Then wait establishing communication to PCM

IDS Release Level IDS-122.03, 6/23/21 4:00 PM. Current Software Updates. Database Updates. Select the Release Level currently loaded on your IDS. IDS Software Planned Release Schedule.

It will show you the vehicle information as below,click “Yes” to continue

Input odometer value,then click “OK” icon at lower right corner

Select “Module Programming”

Select “Programmable Module Installation”–>”PCM”

Wait for the process..

Set ignition switch to OFF

Install a new module in vehicle

Click “OK” icon

Please read the follow information carefully:

Note:Do not start a reprogramming session with a low battery in the vehicle and/or programming tool.

The fuel pump and the engine cooling fan(s) may run during the following procedure

If you are programming a 6.0L diesel,the FICM relay must be removed before programming.

The Ford IDS will prompt you to set the ignition switch to ON

PCM reprogramming..

Please wait

When PCM reprogramming process done,follow the prompt to set ignition switch to OFF

Then set the ignition switch to ON again

Set ignition switch to OFF

Here are some repeat steps,just follow prompt

Calibration has been loaded and checked

If you programmed a 6.0L diesel please reinstall the FICM relay

If required,obtain a PCM reprogramming label and complete with the following data:

Start engine

Note:Do not depress the throttle pedal

Set ignition switch to OFF

Set ignition switch to ON

Now here clear DTCs

Done!

Uninstall fmp and reinstall it. I have had this happen before.
I have had some new pcm be un programmable.
And just for reference. Fmp doesn’t like Google. Use 32 bit processor as well.
I had to slow my computer down from 64-32 because fmp would not work correctly with 64.
Good luck.

Customer C:

If you are checking PCM for up-dates, Ford will advise on 6.0L powertrain if there is a reflash avail for TCM, FICM or PCM, if it states there is no update then all three modules are at latest level, no action required, I am aware it states to remove FICM relay prior to reflash FICM, this is a carryover note from when we used PDS or WDS to reflash the FICM, if you are using IDS with VMM interface its not required to remove the FICM relay, I have reflashed over 1000 of them this way over the last 7 years, as always make sure the battery stays in the sweet spot @ 13.5 volts, make sure your laptop has sufficient power, I always plug in, make sure cables to veh and laptop are safe from accidental disconnect, Good luck!

Customer D:

If you try to VCM2 genuine or clone to make reprogaming well you need IDS V98.01 or higher.
It would be good to check if during initiation programming interface output 18,5V on pin 13 in OBD connector.
