Vehicle No Start After Instrument Cluster Replacement Due to Proper Programmable Module Installation (PMI) Programming Not Being Performed.
Some Vehicles will exhibit a no start condition after instrument cluster replacement due to proper Programmable Module Installation (PMI) not being performed.
Instrument clusters with a Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) are sent to the dealer with PATS configured to factory As Built specifications.
Therefore PMI is required to properly configure the vehicle’s PCM to the new instrument cluster at time of installation.
Failure to perform the PMI programming can result in a no start condition after installation.
Refer to Workshop Manual section 418-01 under General Procedures for proper PMI instructions.
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.
