Programmable Parameters

1999 Ford Windstar Base, Van Cargo, 3.8 4SECTION Programmable Parameters
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Windstar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This method is used to configure parameters that can be modified in repair. These are typically at the preference of the customer. Not all features controlled by the module are listed in this configuration method. Refer to the Module Configuration Index for a list of features by system.

If a module that has been modified using programmable parameters needs to be installed, the PMI procedure will maintain the parameters in their altered state if WDS is able to communicate with the old module during vehicle ID. Otherwise you may need to use programmable parameters to return them to the altered state.
