Stevew Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hi I did sort of ask about this in another thread but i figured i should start a new one. I had a laptop die while flashing the other night, i re-flashed successfully and the car fired up fine. The next morning the car would crank fine but would not fire. I fired up forscan and am getting output from all the sensors but i also noticed the vehicle security access status in forscan has denied as the status. what is the possibility that i have cooked the PCM? Also tried a second key in case my main key just died but still the same outcome. The smart shield light on the dash does go out when i turn the key just not sure about the status denied.

Roland@pcmtec Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Is your battery flat? Needs to be above 12v for the vehicle immobiliser to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevew Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Battery is at 12.6, charged it all day today. Also have tried 2 other batteries from other cars with the same result. No DTCs, i will have to dig a bit deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 So the car cranks but won't fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevew Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yeah it wont fire at all, i pulled a plug and checked for spark and it has spark. Probably next need to verify if the injectors are working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwameabc Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hello, I'm Emmanuel. Thank you for accepting me. I found PCMTEC when trying to find a solution to a 2008 Ford Focus Cmax TDCI 1.6L VEHICLE SECURITY ACCESS STATUS DENIED. The engine cranks but does not start. Two keys programmed successfully, module initialization done, all with ForScan . PCM Live data indicates: vehicle security access status denied. The injector pump supplies fuel to the injectors but the injectors are not supplying fuel to start engine. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
