SAE J2534 Pass-thru Device
Pass-thru devices can be purchased from a third-party supplier. Below we have provided a list of some of those devices:
Important Information: Ford makes no representations about the performance of third-party pass-thru devices. This pass-thru device list is provided voluntarily and as a courtesy. While our software meets SAE J2534, the pass-thru device manufacturer is responsible for making sure their pass-thru device operates properly on each Ford vehicle and with Ford software. We have listed the devices below because their manufacturers have attested that the tools have been validated to work. From time to time, we may test these devices. If we determine they do not operate properly or are obsolete, we may remove them from the list, without notice. Additionally, pass-thru devices listed here have been listed for their use with Ford North American products only. While they may work with some European and other vehicles, they may not meet the requirements for those regions or operate properly.

Diagnostic Tool Support
Overview:
The factory Ford Motor Company vehicle diagnostic tool is the Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS). IDS is a flexible diagnostic tool that utilizes standard computing platforms to work with Ford’s VCM, VCM II and VMM devices.
Attention: The use of Service Publications has been improved/streamlined. For subscribers to Service Publications, you will see improved navigation as shown in the link to the aid below.Click here for diagnostic hardware ordering information.
Software:
The IDS software must be downloaded and installed on a PC meeting the minimum specifications posted here. Use of the IDS software requires as software license subscription available under IDS Software Licensing. The IDS software license includes time based access to the IDS software, software updates and calibration files. The IDS DVD containing IDS Software and Calibration files was discontinued in 2012. IDS Software and calibration files are only available to download online. The Ford IDS software includes vehicle coverage for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles only.
Hardware:
 |
VCM The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) communicates with Ford vehicles through the 16-pin diagnostic link connector. This device is used by the IDS software and is the core of vehicle diagnostics to read trouble codes, re-program (flash), and view vehicle data. The VCM is no longer available through Rotunda however; previously purchased VCMs are still supported. |
 |
VCM II The VCM II was introduced in 2012. The IDS software supports both the VCM and the VCM II. The VCM II is designed as a direct replacement for the original VCM. |
 |
VMM The Vehicle Measurement Module (VMM) handles electronic and transducer based measurements. The VMM connected to a laptop offers the following functionality: Ignition System Test; Fuel Pressure Test; Fuel Leak-down Test; Injector Flow Test; Secondary Ignition; Current Probe Functionality; Oscilloscope; Digital Multi-Meter. |

Ford Module Programming (FMP) Users Guide
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.
