Lol, as it turns out the black plug on the cluster wasn't plugged in all the way. Problem solved 👍

Great info Bill. The missing wire is just whats reported in the code thrown by the RCM. I've not investigated it properly yet. That info will help a lot mate, thanks!

So I've just done this. I had a BA Future wagon with traction control, so this took a lot of work. If your wagon is a BF this will be a lot easier. You have to convert the car to a BF from an electrical standpoint. I used the floor/rear harness from the BA wagon and changed everything else. I changed: BF dash harness BF engine bay harness (x2) BF engine harness BF indicator and wiper stalks BF Accelerator and brake pedals BF RCM, IC, BEM, PCM, ABS, TCM (its inside the ZF6) Aftermarket ICC. Use BF one if you have standard. BF sunlight sensor BF 2.73 Ute diff Custom tailshaft. The floor harness needs to have a couple of wires added for the zf6 shifter. Review the wiring diagrams for plug C-318. You add 4 wires, 2332, 57ER, 687T, 19H. I pulled the wires from the BF sedan floor harness I had and inserted them into mine through each connector so it looks factory. A lot of people just add them exterally. I found an ABS unit without stability control which suited my Future with traction control (this means I didn't need the YAW and steering sensors). If you dont have traction control you need to add an extra brake line to the rear. You also need one of the aircon lines from the BF to fit around the new ABS unit I found I had to use the BF RCM as the BA one threw a configuration fault despite only being on the ISO bus. If you use boost control from the PCM then you need to add the wires for it and the boost sensor. I did both. You don't need to change any plugs. I had to add wires to existing blank spots. I got it driving just this past weekend and its sweet. Only problem so far is a wire missing from the RCM to the Dash for an audible alarm, so I will have to track that down. Thats about as comprehensive as you should need. Have fun!

Hi Bill, thanks for the reply. Its good to know the serial dosn't nessesarily match the hardware. I'll conduct somes tests against the wastegate and boost sensor to see if the PCM registers it. Thanks again, Paul.

I have a bit of a mystery PCM. It's supposed to be a Falcon BF Turbo PCM with a ZF 6 speed. This PCM has had some kind of tune put on it apparently, but I just want the hardware with the intention of reverting to a stock image prior to any tuning. All the stickers on the pcm are missing. There is a hand written note saying its a ABU-214, which has been crossed out. It is a Spanish Oak PCM. It has a HACH4A5 stratagy on it, and reports as a Terrritory PCM in Forscan. Forscan says its a "Hardware type: ASU-114 / ASU-134 / ASU-154 / ASU-174", but the serial number starts with AASV-112. Is there anyway of knowing what it really is? Searching the stratagy lists show that ASV-112 pcm's do not have turbo logic, so perhaps its an NA PCM originally? Terrirory's have a slightly differnent pinout so I don't think it will run a falcon properly. Would a falcon tune change the I/O on the pcm, or is that a hardware only thing? The obvious solution here is to ditch this PCM and get one with some known history, but money on this project is tight atm so if I can use what I have I would prefer it. Paul.

Hi Roland, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatly the ABS unit isn't on the canbus, just iso. Car appears to be too old The turbo logic causing the issue would explain why I haven't read about this being done. Did you ever have success altering the packet sent out by the PCM? Saw a ancient post about it somewhere but lost it.

Hi, I'm prepping to turbo charge my 04 BA wagon. Its currently stock and has traction control (3R23-2C353-AB ABS unit). I have managed to get an 04 BA turbo sedan ECU, but know that the ABS won't play happy with it. However I was reading the how to guides here, and I was wondering. If I take the image off my current ECU (ABU-242) and flash it into the Turbo ECU (ABU-244), then would it be perfectly happy to run the current non turbo engine? My reasoning is that this should mean the ABS will be happy (just like replacing the PCM in a like for like scenario), and then when the turbo motor goes in I edit the maps using values from a turbo firmware, and when I enable turbo logic, the hardware is actually there to allow boost control to work. The other obvious routes are to change the ABS unit, or retain the non turbo ECU and use external boost control. So given I haven't seen read of anyone else doing the ecu firmware swap, its probably not possible. But I wanted to see if anyone here had heard of it happening? Thanks Paul. Ps. I am aware that PCMTech can't give me official advise on this, but was hoping I could get a "it won't work" or a "could be possible".
