Ford IDS 108 Window 7 download, install, activate for VCM 2 I wanted to check the old and new calibration numbers and compare them with what is listed for this truck on the Motorcraft Service Calibration website. I just performed a PCM reprogramming procedure on a Ford this morning. From what I was told on more than one occasion, once the vehicle is built changing the emissions of a vehicle requires some sort of approval.
Changing PCM calibrations can effect emissions on a vehicle. This is stressed at every class and internal review Ford does on warranty claims. Under warranty without direction to do so, you can not claim the labor op. This pretty much carries over to all makes for me. This may be their stance in writing, but also every troubleshooting guide they post seem to start with "Confirm the module has the latest software calibration level" I flash unless a note suggest not too, which is usually when a part revision is required along side the software update.
If there is a TSB that states that a module update should resolve issues, or more simply an updated calibration is available, you can see if you have the latest calibration before purchasing software. In Ford's eyes you are either up to the latest or not. The newer TSB's just state to use the latest calibration of the software. You can reference tsb's and some of the older ones show what version of the software is required for the TSB fix to be applied. That feature is long gone except for a few important tsb's that will change the calibration for newer parts. In the old days, IDS would tell you what the update was for. I appreciate the pictures to make it easier as well! Seems to me manufacturers always want to hide the free information enticing you to buy a subscription due to frustration. Now we just have to hope they don't change it around. David, You can also use Ctrl F and that may help. I had known this calibration check was available and I had tried to make sense of it various times. This process only applies to PCM calibration checking as that is the only module Ford publishes the calibration level. If the calibration is not listed, there is an update available. Scroll through the list to see if the PCM calibration from the tool is in the listing, If the calibration is listed, it is the latest level available for the vehicle. First read the calibration level with any scan tool that can read the calibration.
