  1. For the past year or so I have been working on a software tool for the FG Falcon, which Ive named FoA Orion Comms. It has all your basic diagnostic functions like ECU reset and Module On Demand Self Test etc etc, as well as tools for the firmware of the Instrument Cluster - it has full read write access to the Instrument Cluster EEPROM via the OBD port. Here is a list of features of the software:

    -J2534 & ELM327 interface compatible
    -Plain text Read and Write VIN numbers for the Audio Control Module, Audio Interface Module, Bluetooth Phone Module, Body Electronic Module, Front Display Interface Module, Instrument Panel Cluster (Both IPC VINs)
    -Read Module Diagnostic Fault Codes, with a look up dictionary of 15,000 fault codes
    -Clear Module Diagnostic Fault Codes
    -Online DTC look up tool
    -Control DTC Logging for current diagnostic session
    -OBD2 Service Selector and PID data grabber
    -Workshop Manual browser, WSM pdfs come with application
    -Fusebox Diagrams, Electrical pin outs
    -Wheel & Tyre Reference Chart
    -Globe sizing Reference Chart
    -Module On Demand Self Tests
    -Module End of Line Self Tests
    -Module Reset/Reboot function
    -Pair Key Fob function
    -Interior Command Centre Health Check
    -MidSpeedCAN Health Check
    -Module Configuration Options, ie Police Mode, Reverse Camera, Beltminders
    -Clear Audio Code Error for BA/BF, MKI & MKII FG
    -Set Front Display Interface Module HVAC Display to Single or Dual Zone
    -Security Access 0x27 menu to unlock all modules
    -Engineering Mode Menu
    -MKII Fg Falcon FDIM Recore Tool
    -Instrument Cluster EEPROM Tool, full read write access to IPC for FGI, FGII and FGX
    -Instrument Cluster VDO Supplier Commands
    -Bruteforce ECU security access tool
    -Raw AT Commands for ELM327
    -Raw CAN Generic Diagnostic Specification protocol commands.
    -ICC Switch Tester
    -CANbus Traffic Sniffer
    -Retrieve ECU Software & FNOS information
    -ABS Module Configuration

  2. If you get the VIN/rego and bang it into the Ford service page that should tell you what is was from factory. Did this car have an engine in it when you got it? It could be an Xr8, with the engine and bonnet missing they are essentially the same,

    I made some progress here, managed to get rid of a few errors but the dash still show a comms error.

    Does anyone know which of these will be causing the error?  If it is one of the two PCM errors I may be out of luck, one is comms with the cruise control module which as far as I can see does not exist.

    I managed to get rid of the BCM comms fault but can't seem the get rid of the others which are ECM/PCM, restraints, ABS, HVAC, Radio and front display.

    My module faker is sending can messages 307, 4B0, 50C, 555, 2E2, 2E1, 403 406, 311, 353, 2F9, 2FC, 309, 30D, 317

    This is Fg1 right? Are you sending messages on both buses? You are missing most of the module keep alives for the ms-can(FNOS Identifiers). These are the 0x5XY IDs on the Ms-can. On the high speed you'll need 0xFC and 0x210 (ABS) and 0x623, 640, 650(PCM). 0x353 should be broadcast only from the hscan as it is transmitted by the HIM and then re-sent into the midspeed by the cluster for the FDIM display.

  4. What is the ABS Config set to in the stock tune, and what have you tried setting it to currently?

    Also what is the car originally? specifically is an Xt, and Xr6, G6?

    Can you also post what these parameters are set to:

    auF1718, auF2552, auF2531, auF1210

     

  5. Yep. 

     

    CAN ID 307 byte 3 will turn the Hazard Lights on - MSCAN transmitted by the FDIM upon pushing the hazard light button. It is retransmitted by the IPC on the same ID onto the HSCAN.

    Every actuator within the cluster is independently controllable via diagnostic commands, so needles, LED's, LCD and you can even send a can message that will have the same effect as physically pushing the buttons.

    Thanks Kirby. Thankfully I have not had the occassion where I have lost fuel or oil pressure but I would think that a system would need to react in less than a second to reduce/eliminate damage. Speaking to racers, it seems the most effective way of getting the drivers attention is an annoying buzzer which is also an option.

    While I used the word damping, on further reflection a more accurate term would be low pass filtered, increasing the frequency of the filter cut-off will reduce the time to change but may cause noise issues. If hardware level filtering is being used (capacitor/resistor) there will be no way to practically change it.

    There are other ways to shut down an engine that I can think of, such as interrupting the CAS, though this has EMI/RFI noise management implications. The crudest may be to just cut the ignition/coil power using a solid state relay.

    A stock engine/tune is going to go through a bunch of different different protection mechanisms before shutting down, like torque reduction, cylinder shutdown, before finally killing the engine. Could you not just wire up a relay in line with the CHT signal wire to the pcm, when your condition is met the relay activates and x amount of resistance is added/removed to/from the CHT signal wire circuit such that the CHT reads to the pcm as hot enough for immediate shutdown - there may also be plausability checking done by the PCM that could cause it to ignore such a signal and then use the 'default CHT in case of failed sensor' value.

  7. Small Update:

    image.thumb.png.eaf15f07cefabab32d8c41b83a670d03.png

    Parameters auF1718, auF2552, auF2531, auF12105 control the data which is sent on CAN ID 0x623 bytes 0-3 respectively(0 being the first byte).

    I am still mapping the rest, and as for how this can be used in practice to match ABS Config to PCM Strategy, the end goal would be to have the ABS configured as per the physical setup on the vehicle, so Xr6 NA should really be set to Xr6 NA Configuration in the ABS module, but to have that work with an Xr6 Turbo Strategy/PCM the above is likely what the ABS module reads before deciding if it is good to operate or if it will go into fault mode. 

    I suspect that on the same makes the ABS module and pump hardware is all the same, this makes sense from the point of the manufacturer, however there is a lot of different hardware between BA/BF/FG/FGII/FG-X as well as 3 different diagnostic protocols. This means that in theory, as long as you can tell the ABS module the right data you should be able to match the correct ABS config for the vehicle setup to any PCM strategy.

    More to come.

    Keep in mind you might not actually have e85 in the tank. I've been getting e75 lately here in Adelaide from United.

    E85 sold in Australia does not have to be 85% ethanol, it can actually be in the range of 70%-85%. If you are filling up at the servo it is going to be very hit and and miss - both with regards to ethanol percent and fuel quality especially at the one that sells E85. I would invest in a means to detect water in your fuel as well - with petrol, water will not mix and will sit at the bottom of a tank, but water will mix with ethanol. With E85 the water can form an azeotrope and become "mixed" in a sense. Maybe consider buying by the 205 L drum from a racing fuels place? They should be able to guarantee quality and content.

  9. It may be a thing to also point put that there may be many cars out there that are running the wrong ABS config for the set up they have - Using mine as an example a mk1 GS (stock config Xr8), running the GT Boss 315 strategy had only been possible by setting the ABS to GT 4 Pot brake config - Wrong for the brakes on the vehicle, meaning the ABS may not be functioning at its optimum level. I do not know if this can effect stopping distance in an hard braking condition when the ABS become active. Will post further information on how editing PCM side parameters can allow the correct ABS configuration to work with the desired strategy.

  10. These parameters may be related, but I don't know much more about how they would be used.
