Calibration Research Tips: Ford/Lincoln Module Programming
I-CAR · May 12, 2020 · Ford, Lincoln
Summary
This article explains the module programming requirements for Ford and Lincoln vehicles when replacing ADAS sensors or modules. It details the two programming methods: Programmable Module Installation (PMI) for transferring data from an existing module, and using 'As-Built' data when the original module is too damaged for data retrieval.
What to do on the job
Perform Programmable Module Installation (PMI) to download data from the original module before removing it, or use VIN-specific 'As-Built' data if the original module is completely inaccessible.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor and scan tool time required for Programmable Module Installation (PMI) or retrieving 'As-Built' data when replacing Ford/Lincoln ADAS modules. It proves that programming is a separate, necessary OEM step that must occur prior to the actual calibration process.
