Ford PCM Software Reflash Procedure

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Just want to show the procedure and what is involved in updating the pcm to the latest level. Many customers are now falling outside of even the emission warranty that would pay for this. Anything 2008 on can usually benefit greatly from a software update if there is one for their vehicle. I keep my vehicle updated with all the latest software as it brings improvements just like Windows updates on your computer.

    Just had my 2005 f150 5.4 3v pcm reflashed at Liberty Ford. Glad I asked for it. $119.00 plus tax ended up being $127.75 out the door. Dropped off at 8:30am and was out by 9am. Brakes feel stiffer, gas pedal feels stiffer, even the steering feels different. After driving it I noticed immediately the shift points got fixed. Seems like my gas pedal has to be pushed to half the amount as before, as well as the brake pedal. Feels like a new truck, especially the throttle. I was on Ford forums for about a year before doing this. I had hard starting problems, hesitation during acceleration, random rough idle, etc. They told me if any of the starting problems happen again to bring it back. Thanks Brian!

    Thanks for the video. My Ford dealer won't even check for any updates, let alone do a reflash. I have told them about my concerns with shifting on my 2013 Escape 2.0. Here it is over 2 years I've been driving it, can't believe there is not an update. Really wish you worked at my dealership. I enjoy your videos.

    EscapeLover What are your shifting issues? My wife has a 2013 Escape, 2.0 naturally aspirated with a 6 speed auto. It has been shifting funny since it was new. Most noticeable in the 2-3 shift under moderate throttle. Feels like it spends too much time in-between gears, followed by abnormally hard thump when the next gear engages. I bring it to the dealer and they say there's nothing wrong. If it was one of my $1500 beaters I would have sold it long ago, for fear of impending tranny repairs. I thought I was the only one.

    The adaptive tables learned by the trans. That's a nice clue. this is probably why my transmission is running so bad after the recent recall and reflash. My mechanic is suggesting it's a transmission solenoid and the issue was present before the flash. I would like to see if the manual table was reset. Clues are pointing to -> not likely!

    I've tried to flash a PCM in a 1998 Mountaineer but it refuses to communicate with it to do the flash, clearing KAM or doing the KOEO and KOER tests. It falsely claims there's a communications error. It also fails at doing the ABS service bleed. Anything that involves sensing when the brake pedal is pressed it fails to do. I do get an note about a TSB on flashing the PCM out of the vehicle. For reading and clearing DTCs it works. It also is able to set the tire size. I've used FORscan with the same hardware. That software does the KAM clear, the KOEO and KOER tests, no problem at all detecting the brake pedal being pushed. Unfortunately FORscan does not yet do ABS service bleed for 1990's Fords.

    Thanks again for your reply's and great videos. Okay I go a VCM 2 and installed the IDS and connected everything; comm to vehicle, etc. BUT the IDS told me I'd need to re flash the VCM2 - okay? I did exactly what it said on the screen, pushed the button on it and wait for the beep, etc. Then initiated flash; told me it will take 40 minutes, watched KZread videos and it came back VCM 2 flash successful. NOW I can not comm with the VCM 2 and all I get is a beep every one second. It was "bricked." Can not connect to VM2. So some hair pulling and A LOT of internet searching I found a guy with a "restore" procedure and he also included the filed. Okay I got nothing to lose; 1,200 dollar brick. Did what he instructed and installed the files and I got it back; comm and everything - yahoo.. BUT now since I enter manually my vehicle into IDS and tried to start the Program Module - it refused stating because vehicle was entered manually? I entered the vehicle info manually since it wasn't in the model menu. Entered the Tear tag number EXH1 and - yahoo showed my engine type and year, etc. I also tried to enter the calibration # shown on my scanner and was told invalid #? Is there a way to override this lock out when a vehicle is entered manually?

    I took my 2011 Ecoboost F150 in to get the PCM updated per several transmission TSBs and your videos. I specifically requested a PCM re-flash and the Trans Adaptive Table be cleared per your advice. They ended up charging me 95 dollars. Is this not something covered by the 5 year powertrain warranty (I'm still well within by time and mileage)? Also, what is the drive cycle one should do to "re-train" the transmission table, as I'm sure they didn't drive the truck afterwards. How long until the shifting should settle down? Thanks for the great videos. They have proven to be a great resource to me.

    2014 F150 with 3.7 and a 6R80. Replaced transmission and now no start. I have no ckp signal or ckp/cmp sync on scanner. The crank sensor was removed but reinstalled after realizing you have to get at the torque nuts from the other side (duh). I thought possibly I put the ckp sensor in wrong, its a real pain to get that in there, but after doing it again I think its in correctly. The transmission was not reflashed, we thought it would at least drive to the dealer to get that done. No codes until I reset the KAM, and now we have a P1639 I had considered swapping the oe valve body due to the shift strategy issue and avoiding a reflash bill but boss said don't bother because of the damage to the old transmission. I'm married to this thing now, thanks for any help you can give me.

Estou tentando ativar os botões de CRUISE CONTROL, mas, o ELMCONFIG parece acusar que não tem módulo PCM, pois, não mostra o modelo, nem versão do firmware. Minha dúvida, o módulo PCM existe somente nos câmbios automáticos? É uma peça física ou apenas um firmware na central? Pergunto, pois, estou com os botões do Cruise Control instalado s e os testes dos mesmos acusa estarem corretos, mas, no teste de estrada, não liga. Eu, via VCM IDS, consigo instalar o firmware PCM na central, para utilizar o CRUISE CONTROL em um SIGMA 1.6 manual?

    I just bought a 2003 Lincoln Navigator and the owner told me egr valve is bad. But while driving it its hard to drive. As in accelerating is difficult it acts like the transmission at times doesn't shift, like the transmission is geared one way and the computer is geared another way. It idles rough, and even when driving the low oil pressure light and high temp light comes on. It drives as if it has no power. I had oreliey put a code tester on it and they said that the ecu/pcm don't know if there's a difference was swapped out but not reprogrammed and the truck is in a stolen mode. Does these symptoms sound right with the brain needing to be reflashed or did I buy a dud? Thanks!

    I have a 5.4L VIN Z 8TH DIGIT, SOHC, BI-FUEL 2003 F150 7700 work truck and I have already removed the propane tank (propane system is broken anyway) and have the engine torn down for other repairs. When I put back the fuel rail I intend to remove the propane rail and injectors using regular gas injectors. Is there an option using my forscan tool to modify the or disable the check for propane or is this a IDS procedure? I would like to be able to disable the propane option completely on my own so the PCM does not check to do the fail over to gas like it currently does. When the truck was built and modified in Canada it was reprogrammed with a new code 3U7AALA. Any advice would be helpful. I have not looked at the modules yet with forscan and would rather be able to use this tool if possible.

They got so far and apprently went out of business. Long story short, the engine and trans are in the car but the pcm was lost (or stolen) i have the vin to a gt mustang so i can order the pcm through the dealer i work for. My question is this. I noticed when going through to program the pcm from as-built data, it stated that it was going to go through a "vin verification process" with all the other modules in the car, if the vin from all the other modules dont match off the vin i have the pcm for, what will happen? Will it brick the pcm? Will it still program?

Then they told me that they got a code, after they said the fuel pump resistor was bad. They just cleaned the rust off cause they couldn't get the part. I picked up the car, it seemed to be running good for 1 hour, then rough idle when at stop. Back to the dealer, now they say its a bad ground with the pcm. At this point either they are just guessing, or taking me for a ride. Could flashing pcm may fix fuel problems.

    Hello good sir. I know this is a ford video but I have a 2003 Lincoln Navigator and it's basically a ford motor. I'm having some serious transmission shifting problems and the reverse sometimes doesn't respond. I've taken it to several professional transmission specialist who have no ideal what's wrong with and many say it's a pressure issue that they believe the ECM may be causing. I've even taken it to a electrical car specialist and he said it's too many codes to track it down to a tranny problem or electric issue and to get a new ECM. So I picked up one from a pull-a-parts and wanted to know is there a way to perform this on my own? Are there any websites that have the software for free?

    Here's a interesting update... I saw your other video on clearing the PCM and to my surprise it took care of the P0306. In mode 6 there are no misfires recorded. The only test I have an issue with is TID: $42 CID $12 I think that has something to do with DPFE. In the drive cycle only the evaporative test is still running. I guess my truck had learned a bad habit and thought it was normal. I normally clear my codes using my obd2 scanner or my torque scanner. Now I know how to properly clear the PCM. Thank you.

    +FordTechMakuloco old video but I'm curious. Dealer told me there is no newer update for my 2014 F150 Ecoboost and said it won't show the strategy version without there being a pending update (basically, they said w/o a newer version, they can't tell the current version) -- I've seen a buddy of mine show it to me otherwise using IDS but I wanted to confirm what I saw is true. Can IDS tell what the current strategy is without any pending updates? Seems to me it can and will and they just didn't want to do it.

    Hi, Great video on this subject...Wondering what type of devise/s that one needs to accomplish the reflashing of components.Do you have to subscribe to programs on the internet or from the various vehicle manufactures in order to receive the most recent updates.. Thanks for sharing this info..I'd have to conclude that the dealerships are charging an unreasonable fee to do the reflashes of the systems..Cheers and thanks for educating us...

    I have a 2016 Mustang with a v6. I purchased it brand new 2 months ago with 235 miles on it. The 3rd day after letting it sit for 12 hours and after few minutes at high idle it dropped down to 600rpm's and started to shake as if it was going to stall. 3 different dealers said if no engine codes they can't tell what it is. they checked tsb's and only one service writer said there was engine idle problems but no fix. it does it every day after sitting over night. It goes to 800rpms then to 600rpms. 2 different dealers let me try other Mustangs with same engine and they go to 1200 rpms and then to 800rpms and then to 600rpms and no rough idle. it seems I'm missing 1 warm up idle. your help would be deeply appreciated.

    Hi.. So can i ask a question... I know you're working with a ford model car here, but im sure the PCM and their functions are universal for any brand of car. So i have a 2009 Mazda that has been running fine and is still running fine in 2024. However last year The clicker that locks the car and sets the alarm, the interior lights (over the seats), and the Stereo in the car just stopped working and no longer function. There is also a door ajar indicator lit up on my dash even though no doors (or the trunk) are ajar. I called the dealership i purchased my Mazda from and told them about these issues and they told me my "PCM" may be "outdated" and needed a "software" update. This is the first time in 15 years I've ever come across something that has been wrong with my car being related to requiring a software update. So my question is with the features that I've explained here that are no longer working in my car. Does it make sense that yes in fact the PCM may need a software update (if not needs to totally be replaced). And if a software update is required to fix those problems how much should that run for a half hour's worth of labor? Thanks in advance! :)

    I took my 2002 Ford F-150 to the dealership and had them reprogram to as built because of SMOG check reasons(calibration ID not matching similar vehicles). My issue is that after they did that the calibration ID didn’t change. The guy at the dealership said my Computer had been permanently set to that calibration ID. Does that sound right or true? Can that be done? Or is he BS me?
