It is enough to allow me to think that there is a chance of success after I swap out the ABS ECU with the one I ordered. You’ll need access to FJDS or IDS to finish the job. You can ask your dealer to do this, or you can purchase a license from Ford and do it yourself. If you decide to do it yourself, you’ll need a VXDIAG or VCM II adaptor.
I ordered the VXDIAG VCX NANO for Ford interface. I downloaded FJDS from motorcraftservice. I was able to see the J2534 Pass-thru Device in the list. There is a VCI manager app that you will need load to connect for it to be recognized.
It’s finally working!
As far as the VCX NANO is concerned, it works. The cracked version of IDS that comes with it might not work with the newer vehicles, but if you purchase a license from motorcraftservice and download FJDS, you can use the malware of a “driver” that is included with it to connect to your vehicle.
It helped us diagnose an F-150 2019 yesterday. Today we have 2008 ford focus. The ABS module was replaced and is required to be programmed.
