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.

Questions: What is the name of the software for your laptop? 2. Can a scan tool do a flash? 3. Where do you get the software for your PC? How do you know when an update has been made to a Ford?

Hi Brian, when you say reflash pcm is the same as programed? because I have 04 explorer with P0505 and there is a TSB for it, the explorer was okay until alarm when on and after disconnect the battery now there no throttle respond and loss of rpm, I talk to the dealer and they will check if still cover the TSB..

+felplay vina (felplayvina) reflashing the pcm updates the software. What you need is to manually clean the throttle body and reset the pcm as per my videos then let it learn the new ETC idle trim value.

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.

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.

We were doing this exact procedure on my 2010 Expedition when an error message came up halfway through the writing stage of the PCM. The software then went on to update the TCM but in the process the PCM was corrupted. The software is just saying to replace the PCM and will not let us try and update anything again. Have you ever seen this happen? Someone suggested it could have been because we were using the bluetooth connection vs USB cable. I just dont understand how Ford software can ruin Ford hardware??? At this point I guess Im going to have to spend the 500 plus to get a new PCM and hope we can get the as built data entered correctly. Any ideas? Thanks.

FordTechMakuloco I have a 98 Expedition with a battery drain .It started when I was trying to put led lights in the cluster ,I had forgotten to disconnect the battery .Did it short from pcm or gem ? Nothing stays on . Ive done so much trying to figure out the problem from grounds to fuses disconnect alt.and still have 2.50mlamps drawn . Even changed gem an fuse box an nothing.I started thinking about a new pcm but want to ask first or will a reset work ? Or when I unplugged the cluster did it pop a circuit ?

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! :)

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.

I have a 2002 Ford lighting truck. I replaced fuel pump twice, my ford dealership said it was a bad fuel pump, IAC val, egr valve. 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.

I also have a 2013 6f35 tranny that shifts horribly; would i be able to use this program with the vcm to diagnoise and repair the sift points or what ever the issue that is causeing it? like the scantools off the 90's vehicles?

It is parked at my moms until I can get to it but do you think that it needs a pcm reprogram? It is also saying advance trac off, traction control on?? Does the abs module need reflashed too??

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.

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!

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?

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?

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 RU-vid 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 have a 2008 Expedition 5.4, I put a scanner on the truck and it reads the vin and vehicle info, gives live feed but will not do a two way communication. I request to shut off fuel pump and nothing happens, This goes with other components as well. the vehicle idles rough and backfires. No code pop up. It' s drives rough. I have been led to believe it's the PCM. What do you think.

Just took my 2004 ford explorer for pcm reflash for a p2106 code that send my car into limp mode wrench light and engine service light. How do i know if they realy flashed it? My code came up quicker then when it was cleared by scanner.

I have a 2004 ford explorer. 2 days ago I went out to start it got it started and shut it off then went to start it again and it would not crank or start. when you put the key in the ignition the theft light flashes every 2 seconds but when you turn the key to on position it stays solid for 40 seconds or more. How can I fix this problem? it will not let my suv start at all. the mechanic checked all fuses and relays and everything is fine. He put a new battery in it and not the problem. Checked the volts at the started and all is good.

Hola, tenía el codigo P060C en F150 2006 y después de manejar la camioneta por una o dos horas se encendia la llavesita en el tablero y se empezaba a poner pesada la camioneta. Le hice calibración a la PCM con la última actualización y se corrigió el problema, me cobraron por actualizar pcm 75 dolares en un taller

am considering reprogramming pcm on a 2013 f150 EB to latest calibration.Never had any misfire issues, but wish to optimize fuel econ. because current pcm is outdated by about 3-4 versions. i have access to IDS software & vcm2, but not sure if truck battery needs to be on a life-support charger during the update, even though my batt is brand new (

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...

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?

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.

Ok i have a 07 Ford Edge with a code marked P0356. I replaced all the coils and spark plugs before and now it's saying number 6 again. Was wondering if a new PCM would be my next step and would this video help me to reprogram the new one. If so where did you get yours? Trying to save some type of money

So... can you really tell if there has been a tune installed in a F150 ecoboost, and then removed prior to taking it in to the dealer? If so, what kind of information, or fingerprint, does it leave? I'm thinking about getting a tune for improved towing and MPG but don't want to kill the warranty. Thanks!
@FordTechMakuloco
@FordTechMakuloco 9 лет назад
Shawn P I believe it leaves a p0650 code or something like that behind and if we go into check the pcm part number it will not be right also. Most dealers do not check for this though.

@FordTechMakuloco
@FordTechMakuloco 9 лет назад
+Meme Aragon C102D is high friction internal to the steering gear only fix for this code according to Ford is to inspect tire pressure and for binding in the front end and besides that to replace the steering gear. What does the speed pid indicate in the pscm and pcm when the vehicle is moving?
@MEMEARAVELA
@MEMEARAVELA 9 лет назад
