For DTC’s generated after programming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures. 1. Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery. NOTE: Verify that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12 volt battery negative terminal to prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle. NOTE: Make sure the IDS computer does not enter sleep mode during programming. 2. Reprogram the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) using Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) release 126.05 or higher. Make sure you are connected to the Internet prior to reprogramming. NOTE: Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraftservice.com. NOTE: Follow the IDS on-screen instructions to complete the reprogramming procedure. 3. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the reprogramming has completed. Important Information for Module Programming NOTE: When programming or reprogramming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors. • Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect IDS/scan tool to a power source. • Inspect Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming. • A hardwired connection is strongly recommended. • Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors. • Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio, etc.). • Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully. • Disable IDS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes. • Create all sessions Key ON Engine OFF (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process. ATTACHMENT III PAGE 2 OF 2 APPLICATION PERFORMANCE UPGRADE 22G04 CPR © 2022 FORD MOTOR COMPANY DEARBORN, MICHIGAN 48121 09/2022 Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module: NEVER DELETE THE ORIGINAL SESSION! a. Obtain the original IDS that was used when the programming error occurred during Module Reprogramming (MR) or Programmable Module Installation (PMI). b. Disconnect the VCM from the Data Link Connector (DLC) and the IDS. c. Reconnect the VCM to IDS and then connect to the DLC. Once reconnected, the VCM icon should appear in the corner of the IDS screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the IDS to VCM connection. d. Locate the original vehicle session when programming failed. This should be the last session used in most cases. If not, use the session created on the date that the programming failed. NOTE: If the original session is not listed in the previous session list, click the Recycle Bin icon at the lower right of the previous session screen. This loads any deleted sessions and allows you to look through them. Double-click the session to restore it. e. Once the session is loaded, the failed process should resume automatically. f. If programming does not resume automatically, proceed to the Module Programming menu and select the previously attempted process, PMI or MR. g. Follow all on-screen prompts/instructions. h. The last screen on the IDS may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps listed on the screen are followed in order.  Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company \\DC – 025766/900039 – 17810696 v8 Ford Motor Company Ford Customer Service Division P.
