Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Module Configuration: Notes
Modules can be configured using 3 methods. All methods require the use of Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) tester or Ford equivalent scan tool. Programmable Module Installation (PMI) is used when a new progammable module is installed. Calibration updates are used to install new module calibrations and strategies into modules. Programmable parameters are changed manually with the WDS tester and are typically customer preference items. Using WDS tester, the scan tool will automatically retrieve all module information and store it. If scan tool cannot communicate with module, you will be prompted to manually configure the module or enter as built data. If as built data is requested, vehicle must be taken to a Ford dealership for module configuration.
