Ford Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

NOTE:In order to minimize module variations, different equipment levels and functionalities are incorporated in the same module. For this reason, modules must be programmed following replacement. For this purpose, the vehicle-specific data is read out of the module to be replaced using WDS and is transferred to the new module. In the process, it is also possible to replace older software versions with more up-to-date versions, for example. NOTE:If, before replacing a module, it was not possible to read out the vehicle-specific data using WDS (the module to be replaced does not respond) then, during programming of the new module, the vehicle-specific data must be entered manually via a selection list in WDS or via a code which can be obtained from the Technical Hotline. NOTE:Ensure that the most up-to-date software version is installed in WDS. In order to program, select the "Install programmable module" submenu in the "Module programming" menu tool box and then follow the instructions.

NOTE:The number of modules installed in the vehicle can vary according to equipment level. The following modules must be programmed after replacement: Anti-lock braking system module (ABS) Audio system module (ACM) CD player (CDP) Driver's door control unit (D-DCU) Passenger's door control unit (P-DCU) Rear left door control unit (RL-DCU) Rear right door control unit (RR-DCU) Electrical parking brake (EPB) Electrical power steering (EPS) Generic Display Module (GDM) (vehicles with DVD navigation system with touchscreen) Generic electronic module (GEM) Headlamp control module (HCM) (vehicles with gas discharge headlamps) Instrument cluster (IC) Navigation system (NAV) (vehicles with navigation system) Parking aid module(PAM) Powertrain control module (PCM) Restraint control module (RCM) Rear entertainment system module (RETM) (vehicles with rear seat entertainment system)

NOTE:If, before replacing a PCM, it was not possible to read out the vehicle-specific data using WDS (the PCM to be replaced does not respond), configuration of the PCM must be performed following programming. For this purpose, the vehicle-specific data must be entered manually. In order to configure the PCM, select the "Programmable parameters" submenu in the "Module programming" menu tool box and then follow the instructions.

Following configuration of the GEM, module-resetting of the GEM using WDS must be performed. For this purpose, select the "Programmable parameters" submenu in the "Module programming" menu tool box and then follow the instructions under the "GEM reset" menu item.

For vehicles with anti-lock braking system and electronic stability program, these must also be configured using WDS following replacement of the lateral acceleration sensor, yaw rate sensor or pressure sensor. Configuration is performed in the "Programmable parameters" menu tool box.
