Hello,*

We are about to finish new 2.4.0 test build, we will send to you*when it is ready (hope in 1-2 days).*

Regards,*

FORScan Team*



This function is in testing stage. There are problems, known*ones and may be not known ones. Please note you use it "AS IS".In no event shall FORScan team be liable for any direct or*indirect damage, caused by use of this function.

Short instruction:

The function is called "Module firmware update" and available in*Configuration and Programming section. Content
consists of 2 columns: current assembly/calibration and*available for programming. All the firmware files that included*into
the assembly are displayed.

There are 2 filter checkbox on the top (enabled by default):
Only official branch - only firmware from official branch, this*is what available in IDS. If this filter box is unchecked, all
possible builds will be displayed, but only compatible with*current hardware
Only newer than current - this shows only builds that are newer*than current. If you need older ones, uncheck this box.

Every firmware file has status indicator on the right:
- green - file is ready for programming and will be programmed
- yellow - the file will not participate in programming
- red - file is required but missing or damaged

There 2 options at the bottom:

- Force program unchanged firmware - if some file in the new*calibration level is not changed, FORScan will not write it.This option changes the behaviour and all files will be*rewritten.

- Switch *ALL* modules to programming mode (silence on buses) -*in this mode FORScan will switch all modules on both buses to*programming mode, to make them "silent". Unfortunately, this*function properly works only on J2534 adapters with MS-CAN*support. ELM327 kind of adapters and J2534 Passthru without*MS-CAN can implement it partially (on current bus only) due to*adapter limitations. This may cause serious panic in some*modules. So it is recommended to use this option ONLY if there*is no other way to program a module.

There are 2 buttons on the bottom:
- Download - download missing files from Internet ( Motorcraft*site)
- Program! - start the programming process

It has to be counted that not all of firmware files are*available on Motorcraft site (only those that allowed
for dealership).

Known problems:

- It is not recommended to use china ELM327, as it is impossible*to guarantee stable work in there

- APIM (Sync) module are not programmed properly yet. IDS has no*PMI for APIM too, so in case of problems you will not be able to*use IDS for APIM recovery!

- We do not recommend to program power steering modules yet.*This requires special procedure. Current implemenation bricksMondeo 4 PSCM

- We do not recommend to program modules that have ECU*Configuration * parts in their firmware, FORScan may not offer*right file

FORScan shows summarized firmware size and estimated programming*time in the warning dialog before start
programming. We recommend to pay attetion to these numbers, asprogramming time may be very significant (several hours).
Time estimate for J2534 adapters may be very inexact yet.

After the firmware update modules usually throw U2100 DTC. The*following sequence of actions is enough to clear it:
- Run Module configuration programmin (As Built format) and load**AB factory configuration in there. Please prepare it
advance (download for Motorcraft site by VIN), as current*version cannot download it in automated mode yet.
- write All (all blocks!) to the module. If configuration isn't*changed change, FORScan will ask to confirm force write,
please confirm it.

After first successful connect to vehicle FORScan will create*vehicle profile. We recommend to backup profiles, as they may be*helpful in case of restoring.

What we would like to get in case of problems:
- short report about the problem
- FORScan debug information (FORScan.log and dump.bin)
- user logs (content of Log tab in the section Configuration and*Programming).

Regards,
FORScan Team
