Ford PCM programming: the other procedures Programming Ford electronic control units (ECUs) is pretty straightforward and simple compared to many other OEMs. However, Ford does do one thing differently than most other OEMs. The normal Ford programming procedure has you 'inhale' (read and stor. IDS Release Level IDS-122.03, 6/23/21 4:00 PM. Current Software Updates. Database Updates. Select the Release Level currently loaded on your IDS. IDS Software Planned Release Schedule.
Model:
2011 Ford Taurus
2006 Ford Fusion
Error message:
“The operation cannot begin because the PCM failed to complete a service procedure. Perform PMI on the PCM to resolve the issue.”
Possible scanners working with:
Customer solution:
Customer A:
Turn off your firewall
Customer B:
Uninstall fmp and reinstall it. I have had this happen before.
I have had some new pcm be un programmable.
And just for reference. Fmp doesn’t like Google. Use 32 bit processor as well.
I had to slow my computer down from 64-32 because fmp would not work correctly with 64.
Good luck.
Customer C:
If you are checking PCM for up-dates, Ford will advise on 6.0L powertrain if there is a reflash avail for TCM, FICM or PCM, if it states there is no update then all three modules are at latest level, no action required, I am aware it states to remove FICM relay prior to reflash FICM, this is a carryover note from when we used PDS or WDS to reflash the FICM, if you are using IDS with VMM interface its not required to remove the FICM relay, I have reflashed over 1000 of them this way over the last 7 years, as always make sure the battery stays in the sweet spot @ 13.5 volts, make sure your laptop has sufficient power, I always plug in, make sure cables to veh and laptop are safe from accidental disconnect, Good luck!
Customer D:
If you try to VCM2 genuine or clone to make reprogaming well you need IDS V98.01 or higher.
It would be good to check if during initiation programming interface output 18,5V on pin 13 in OBD connector.
How to reprogram PCM via IDS software:
Main procedure:
Step 1: Install a new PCM
Step 2: Reprogram PCM
Step 1: Install a new PCM
Install VMware and well setup IDS software follow the video/pdf guide (see attachment below)
Run Ford Module Programming
Click on car icon
Select “Start New Session”
Press “Confirm”
The SAE J2534 pass-thru device cables must not interfere the safe operation of the vehicle. Secure all cables away from the vehicle pedals.
Make connection as shown
Turn ignition to ON
Apply the parking brake
Apply Neutral/Park gear position
Establishing communication to PCM
Verify vehicle information
Press programming icon
Select “Module programming”
Select “Programmable Module Installation”>> “PCM”
Again verify vehicle information and confirm
Turn ignition to OFF position (Position 0)
Check if the displayed VIN is correct, if yes, hit Yes to continue
Follow the system prompt to install a new module in vehicle
Step 2: Reprogram PCM with VCM 2 IDS
Please read the following information carefully.
NOTE: Do not start a reprogramming session with a low battery in the vehicle and/or programming tool.
The fuel pump and the engine cooling fan(s) may run during the following procedure.
If you are programming a 6.0L diesel, the FICM replay must be removed before programming.
Turn ignition to ON position
Erase procedure in progress
Downloading data and reprogramming PCM in progress
Turn ignition to OFF
The operation in progress
Turn ignition to ON
Set ignition switch to OFF
Calibration has been loaded and checked.
If you programmed a 6.0L diesel please reinstall the FICOM relay.
Start engine. Do not depress the throttle pedal.
Set ignition to OFF
Set ignition to ON
Clear stored fault codes
Turn ignition to OFF
PCM reprogramming procedure is done.

What is FORScan?
FORScan is a software scanner for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, designed to work over ELM327 and J2534 Pass-Thru compatible adapters.
| FORScan Lite for iOS | FORScan for Windows | FORScan Lite for Android |
There are many OBD2 scanners, but does FORScan somehow differ? Yes, because it is designed especially for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. So supports specific features of the manufacturer protocols, making the FORScan more powerful in work with these models than any regular OBD2 scanner.
For example, FORScan can detect modules which are not visible for regular OBD2 scanners, it can show you and reset trouble codes which are never displayed by OBD2 scanners. FORScan can show you PIDs which are not supported by any OBD2 scanner, and also run specific tests and service procedures. Version of FORScan for Windows can also perform configuration and programming functions. In other words, FORScan can do things that regular OBD2 scanners can not do.
Main features

Supported vehicles:
All Ford, Mazda, Lincoln, Mercury vehicles that can be addressed by supported adapters. It is 99% of models after 2000 and around 92% of models after 1996 (the year when OBD2 became a standart in USA). Note: New 2019+ Mazda 3 and CX-30 are not supported yet.
Note2: FORScan may support limited set of functions and configuration parameters for brand new 2021MY models. Please check for availability of necessary function before purchasing anything.
Supported adapters :
Gm Pcm Programming Software
Important note: almost all of adapters sold under 'ELM327' label are 'clones' (use not original ELM327 chip). In past few years 80% of them are 'bad' clones, and unfortunately this ratio grows. 'Bad' clones are not fully compatible with original ELM327 and will not work with FORScan. FORScan uses service level protocols and requires adapters that are fully compatible with original ELM327. Other software that uses standard OBDII protocol usually work with these adapters, so people usually don't understand the problem. The problem is that service protocols are more complex than regular OBDII ones and this is why it is physically impossible to make FORScan work using these devices. We recommend to obtain either original white-label adapters listed above (Scantool OBDLink, ELS27), or look for ELM327 marked as 'Ford Mazda FORScan' etc compatible - these are usually 'good' clones equipped with HS/MS CAN switch. But 'good' clones may have other problems (for example, USB adapters cannot work faster than on 38400 bps, CAN bus errors etc).
