Awesome! Let me know if I can help

For DIY programming, I recommend forscan with obdlink ex

Did you program the tcm to your car? If so, you may have a bad tcm again. Look at the range sensor for any damage too

Did you go through TCM adaptive learning procedure? To teach it shift points as you movie the shifter and clutch points.

Did the TCM word?

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles i did replace both of that still get the same TCM and Range sensor but I can’t program TCM lost communication

@@seacradev5400 I tried it still get the same Using Forscan software

@joshuawebber1001 hi, what they probably meant is the adaptive learn can't be done. I'm sure it's programmed. And yeah you should be able to swap and do testing like you want

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles thank you so much for the fast reply. Do you think it could be the clutch if I could go in and reset codes and have reverse for a little bit then code get tossed and not have reverse ? Sound like actuator or clutch fork . Thanks Ben

You can try waiting a few seconds after flooring the gas, to let the rpm steady out. Before continuing the next step

No, all you need to do is do the clutch touch point relearn. You can get forscan on a laptop for that (youll need a vehicle interface) or find a scan tool on amazon which can do that. Supposedly Kingbolen sells one for $120 on amazon that can do that

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles what can happen if I don’t do the clutch relearn ? 😅, thank you once again brother

@@Inkadomination I appreciate your super thanks! If you drive without the touch point learn, it won't feel right when accelerating from a stop and shifting. It's possible it'll learn on it's own eventually - but maybe not perfectly. I'll make a video next chance I get to see if one will learn on it's own!

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles there is 2 option clutch adaptive learning and shift drum adaptive learning . Which would be the one ? 😅

Which kingbolen device is it? I see a $140 one. Maybe that one will do adaptive learning also. I see it says gearbox learn

If you get a used one from the same year model focus, all it'll need is the touch point learn

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles I got one from 1 year newer today so I guess I'll need to do all the steps. Hopefully it works! By the way, Ford issued a new recall that says even if you go past the 10 years/150,000 they'll do it ONE more time before June 2025.

@@Insidiousotteris this free reflags? Recall? Covered till 150k ?

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the video helpful, I appreciate your support

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles mann.. I seen your videos and it has helped me so much . I got it done and everything went smooth. Thank you 🙏🏾

Yes

You can program the transmission strategy using Forscan

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles thank you I appreciate it

What error are you getting when it tries to learn?

It passes everything but my tcm keeps giving me codes . Always says gears 1 3 and 5 can't learn touch points I have tried other tcm modules but I keep putting mine in because that's the only one that works and it only says trans fault . I don't get any other codes

It should turn on, but it won't be able to actually start the engine

Thanks for replying! I researched and was also told that it wouldnt crank when replaced, but should turn on. So if its not turning on, did I do something wrong? Everything went well with the install IMO, so im unsure of what’s going on. Maybe my battery completely died? Or is it just not connecting to the tcm? Just trying to figure it out. After I replaced the tcm, my car was able to lock and unlock still that same night with the new one installed. I went back out to check it today to get paperwork out of it, and my keyfob wasnt connecting. Because of that, I then manually unlocked my car door, to which I found that my lights, nor my radio screen were turning on. Do you know what that might be related to?

@JustinOkel I would start with checking battery voltage. If it's 11.5v or higher it should power up. Make sure your cables are on tight and no corrosion. I've got a Facebook group and discord group, if you'd like to post pics of anything for a second opinion

I just checked and it was at 5.3V. Thanks for the recommendation. Now do I use a battery charger/jump starter or how do I go about getting it back to 12V?

@@JustinOkel charge it to 12v with a trickle charger overnight and see if it drains again

Yes

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles what happens if the old TCM is damaged and cannot be read/used. What options are available?

Yes, get as-built data and use forscan if possible or pay Ford to do it

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles thanks a lot for your answer. Do you have any link or can you tell me where I can get this as-built data from ? I’ve got forscan and also vgate link fs cable. Thanks.

@eduarddavid2878 I'm not familiar enough to help with that. But there's people in my discord that can help. Link is on my channel page

Is your scan tool able to download the data from the old module and upload it to the new?

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles yes, I think maybe, because I have program Airbag and everything is fine and I use FJDS, but when I program TCM error occurs, don't know what is the cause. thank you so much

Itll be loaded with a calibration for the year model focus it came out of. 12 to 14 models should be plug and play. 15 and 16 better to stick with the same year because I'm not sure. I'd throw it in and drive it for a few days and see if it learns on its own. If not, get forscan and do the learn. BTW you can use any focus or Fiesta tcm in any of these cars If you're able to program as built

Yes a forscan license is free for 3 months

@BigBensCarsAndCycles thanks. i was going to take it to the dealship but now I'm going to try it! I think I got it with your videos.

​@BigBensCarsAndCycles hey! I'm sitting in my car with my new TCM and my OBDlink ex cable. I'm connected and I got the extended license. I'm failing the TCM adaptive learn.

@@parkermize Did you get it to work?

Yes, I haven't tried it, but I'm told it can download the old modules configuration and upload it to the new module once installed

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles cool. Does that require a subscription?

I know it works with ids and forscan. Not sure about the others

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles I just put in a new clutch and forks because the car was shifting very roughly and would “slip” especially on 1st and second gear… the car doesn’t have that rough shifting and excessive slippage now but the more I drive the more I notice the slipping and stuttering on 1-3 gears. I don’t have any codes at the moment. I did all the adaptation, the car has 40k miles… do you think it’s the TCM module that needs to be replaced?

@alexouchakov1423 I think you need to give the new clutch 1k miles to break in and it'll be ok

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles okay but you should make a video on TCM updating and programming with Forscan lol So many videos out there but poorly made.

@@alexouchakov1423 okay! I'll look into it

Thanks for another super thanks! I'm so glad my videos helped you! Let me know if you've got any further questions. I've got a FB and discord group too, for quicker responses
