yoda598 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hey guys. Just trying to confirm my thoughts. I have a customer's fg na+t in for abit of work. The car has been fitted with a turbo zf and matching diff. We've flashed the matching strategy to match the zf file. It runs fine but throws the obvious abs and traction control errors. I just want to confirm this is due to the abs module not having the turbo calibration on it, before we recalibrate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is that, it could also be that the strategy isn't matched correctly, or you have the wrong diff ratio set. There are a few other causes as well. Check the DTCs and it should tell you if the ABS module is mismatched, in which case recalibrating that (assuming its the correct bosch model) should fix your issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abs351 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Hi Yoda, Disable the VID block (auF0389-NameActivate/Deactivate VID Block Parameters for Final Drive/Tire etc)it will possibly remove the DTC errors. Do share feedback, this will help others in future 🙂 @ Rolls, are there any vital requirements if this is disabled? i have tried this already and all functions in the car work well.

Roland@pcmtec Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Make sure all of the above items are set appropriately if you disable the VID block Also the VID block is ignored in the Mk2/FGX Falcons, it uses values stored in the cluster instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abs351 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Yes I have done that prior, what I do is merge VID then disable it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abs351 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) To bypass DSC , ABS warning lamps. When I have VID block enabled, they light up. So I suspected the strategy aligns with certain ABS calibration/ responses with the PCM/TCM. This worked with FGX sprint, FG F6 OS on a FG XR6T MK2, along with F6X OS and TCM strategy on territory turbo. I believe it comes down to the ABS module calibration file which is challenging to obtain for FG MK2 & FGX Sprint. Ford DSFM website doesn't have them available. I'm in the process of getting the desired calibration file for FGX sprint ABS module to test my theory. I hope this Intel helps others.

yoda598 Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Was just about to update this! Absolutely right! I found the correct abs calibration and all has been good ever since. So to sum it up. You need the abs calibration to match your strategy/model for it to work happily! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
