2001 Ford Windstar BaseFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Module Configuration

NOTE: Newly released modules will require configuration after being installed on vehicle. All configurable modules will be packaged in a kit which contains a warning label and multi-language sheet reemphasizing requirements to configure replacement modules. A New Generation Star (NGS) tester or Ford compatible scan tool MUST be used to retrieve configuration data from old module before it is removed from vehicle. This information will be transferred so that new module will contain same settings as old module. NGS tester will not retain stored configuration information for more than 24 hours.

Following manufacturer's instructions, upload old information from old module using Ford Service Function (FSF) card and NGS tester. Install new module and download stored information into new module using FSF card and NGS tester.
