2013-2014 MKZ – BCM Failure During Or Shortly After Programming
2013-2014 MKZ vehicles may have a BCM fail to respond or power up during or shortly after performing a module reprogramming procedure.
If this occurs, disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected for 10 minutes or more.
For hybrid units, lower the rear seat and use the emergency t-handle to open the rear decklid to be able to access the battery if necessary.
If the module does not recover, module replacement will be necessary.
Service Information & Reprogramming
Software necessary to program electronic modules to the latest calibration level, perform module initialization (PATS), and set Programmable Parameters on Ford
, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.
Ford Module Programming (FMP) is a software application that allows subscribers to program electronic modules on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. It can be used for:
- Reprogramming emission-related (OBDII) modules on some vehicles manufactured in 1995 and all vehicles manufactured from 1996 to the present
- Reprogramming or reconfiguring non-emission-related modules on many vehicles (UBP and MS-CAN not supported)
In addition, module initialization (PATS) functions such as Keycode Erase/Reprogram and PCM Parameter Reset can be done using this application.
J2534 Device 
using Ford Module Programming (FMP) can Reprogram and Configure most Modules.
