hi were you able to do the parameter reset with forscan?

@@goromadness9755 yes I was. I ordered the OBDLink EX off Amazon, it’s the one for 59.95. Then I paid like $5 for the Forscan that I downloaded to my laptop. I think I ordered a blank ford key also from Amazon. I watched a couple videos and stuff I don’t remember exactly how I did it but once I had the scanner in the program download it and everything it worked like a charm. Still going strong with no issue now

@@robertjohnsonii1765 Ok, I will try with forscan then, thanks

I also need to replace my pcm. How were you able to make the new pcm work with the forscan? I’m not sure if I need to have someone else flash it or if I can do what I need on my own with a junkyard pcm

@@MrWontstopthefunk I ordered a new one from Protech auto systems out of Florida, essentially preflashed. Call them they’ll make sure they get you what you need and can give you some direction on the process. I paid $250. I searched a lot for a reputable place and glad I went with them. I still don’t remember exactly how I did it but Forscan was a must for programming the key. I think it ended up working with my original key and not the new key I bought, but I still had to run some processes in Forscan for the original key to work with the new pcm. Lots of googling and KZfaq and Once I plugged in the new brain, did some widgets in Forscan, it worked first try. I tried starting it just putting in the pcm but no-go. Fiddled with Forscan after watching KZfaq and it started right up and been running perfect since.

What was wrong with your old PCM? You would need to save the original program, swap PCM , and then write to new PCM from the save file.

Free to download and the maker gives you 2 months free. After the free trial you need an extended license but not costly like others out there. 1 year - $10 3 years - $20 5 years - $30 lifelong - $50

@Fabian Almeida thought of it myself recently but they've since gotten rid of the lifetime one... and I never got a response to a second "3 month trial" license, probably denied.

Yes you could if the cut key was the exact same and the coding is the same.

Seems anything 15.5(16) or newer you cannot access the PATS which means you have to use the dealer or locksmith. Just tried on my 16 F150 and PATS was no where to be found.

@@MichaelViewing Thanks for the info, i figured it out after getting my obd link and ended up taking a ebay fob to the dealer thank god it worked lol

Can you send me a screen shot?

Having the same issue

@@MadelineMetzger I found forscan doesn’t support pats for mg 2017 Ford Focus se had to buy a vcx nano for Fords and download IDS v121 and use the IDS patch to use it free.

@@thestateofreal2533 So did you delete admin keys and program new keys. In other words did you just add a key or did you first delete all keys then add keys?

I find it's easier to program the 2 keys first then use the spare key program option below the erase and reprogram option. Did you have 2 keys that turn in the ignition when you started the reprogramming? The keys don't have to be ones that were already programmed before.

@@ecobeastbuildsandmods4626 I have a standard key which I used before (it doesnt work anymore after I remove mykey, just i can turn ignition on) Then, I purchased two programmable key from Ebay ( exactly like yours) and did not do anything yet. I wonder, Should I use new purchased key during reprogramming? Or I have to use old key?

@@davranoglu The first time I programmed the old key and 1 new key. Since I was testing to see if the flip key would work. I then cleaned all the keys and programed just the new keys.

On position

Start position, all the way to crank. On the second key programming the car will crank and start.

You will have to have 2 keys to delete and reprogram new keys from the start. You can't get around that even at the dealer. It doesn't matter if the 2 keys haven't been programmed to the car before. As long as it's the correct Pats key and turns in the ignition before you start it will work out. It doesn't have to start the vehicle before the reprograming.

@@ecobeastbuildsandmods4626 unfortunately it was second hand car and I didn’t get 2 keys! However I look on internet and i needed to lock, unlock door (hold for 20-30 secs) and it reprogrammed the key!! When I did it the first time I broke the opposite switch metal pry and got it fixed! Now everything’s fine 😊 However what’s the best way to get more keys? Coz I’ve only got one now 🙃

Yes. As long as you have 2 keys that are the correct type and turn in the ignition. The keys don't have to be the original keys that came with the car.

@@ecobeastbuildsandmods4626 Ok cool. I’m going to be trying it in the next week and I will update you!’

Same situation here did you figure out a solution to getting the vehicle back running or you pretty much had to erased keys & program new ones

@@tjcoutee1507 my tunner clone the eeprom and immo to second pcm but change the map so it works now i can use both.

Did you try running the steps again? How many keys was you trying to program at one time?

The security wait time could be shorter but yes.

@@ecobeastbuildsandmods4626 I did it today. it was the same wait time. thank you!

You need to have a second programable key. Get an uncut key on either Amazon or Ebay and have a local lock smith cut the key. To program the new key plus the old key just follow the video. It will delete any current keys programmed to the car. You have to have 2 keys to do this, the car won't let you otherwise.

Did you ever resolve this?

I'm in the process of doing that but where do you go?

The gauge cluster comes with track apps but you’ll need to go into the IPC and change some coding to get it to work if it’s not on once you program the cluster, but if you do it yourself with forscan and get a cluster from eBay it should already have track apps and mycolor without having to change the coding

Majority of Ford models starting from 1996 model year are supported. Link below is the OBD adapter I use. No need to flick a switch, automatic. No affiliation or kickbacks with Forscan or Amazon. www.amazon.com/stores/page/A539CE77-1BB3-4897-9C03-4F13CAC8F48B?channel=forscan&tag=obdlink-forscan-20&linkCode=ur2

It is but is complicated its better to do a back up of asbuild of the old pcm and write to to new one.

I would advise temporally install the new cluster first to make sure it functions correctly. I programmed the new keys to the new cluster first and then the original cluster. That way I could still turn on the car until the replacement cluster mileage was corrected. Also the company I sent my cluster in need to know what the mileage was on the replacement cluster.

@@ecobeastbuildsandmods4626 who did your mileage correction?
