2015-2016 Focus – When Using Remote Start May Exhibit Start and Stall with DTC P1594 – Built On Or Before 17-Oct-2016

Some 2015-2016 Focus vehicles, when using remote start, and built on or before 17-Oct-2016 may exhibit vehicle stall with a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P1594.

This may be due to wheel speed sensor reporting movement of the vehicle while stopped.

To correct this condition, update the Body Control Module (BCM) to the latest calibration level using integrated diagnostic software (IDS) version 106.05 or higher.

Refer to workshop manual (WSM) section 419 to perform the BCM updating procedure.

Make sure the IDS is connected to the internet when entering module reprogramming to obtain the latest updates.

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.
