Module Programming: Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Perform the following pre-checks to make sure module programming completes without errors.
  1. NOTE: Starting the engine prior to creating a programming session may prevent certain part number information from being inhaled by the IDS. This may cause programming errors in some modules.

    Start the programming session in Key ON Engine OFF.

  2. Make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged or is connected to a battery charger.
  3. NOTE: A hardwired internet connection is recommended.

    Inspect the Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and cables for damage. Make sure cables remain connected throughout the programming procedure.

  4. Turn off all unnecessary accessories, such as radio, A/C, climate controlled seats, headlamps, interior and demand lamps.
  5. Disconnect any aftermarket accessories, such as remote start, security alarm and power inverter.
  6. For Plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, disconnect the external charge cord from the charge port.
  7. Disable Microsoft Windows sleep mode, screensaver and hibernation modes.
