How to change VCM2 serial number

I have figured out how to change the serial number of the Ford VCM 2 as well as enter test mode, and get a root shell on it.

You’ll need a microSD card for this to work.

1. Use IDS 86.

2. Recover your VCM2.

a. Describing how to recover is beyond the scope of this post. Search the forums for instructions.

b. After recovery your VCM2 should be at VCM2 FW version 2.1.1.5.

3. Wait about 90 seconds after the VCM2 beeps before proceeding. We are waiting for the SD card to be populated.

4. Unplug the VCM2 and eject the SD card.

5. Mount the SD card with a linux machine.

6. On the SD card open ‘apps/vci-diags/hwtest-scripts/self-test.sh’ for editing.

7. Add the following line to the file:

touch /etc/vci/config/testmode

8. Cleanly unmount the SD card and insert it back into the VCM2.

9. Plug the VCM2 unit into the computer and wait 90 seconds past beep before proceeding.

10. Launch IDS.

11. Go to system utilities

12.Select ‘Launch Monitor Tool’ and confirm on the pop up.
13. Select ‘Run System Diagnostics’ > ‘Next’ > ‘Test a VCM II Module’ > ‘Next’

14.Once the test completes unplug, wait a couple seconds, and then re-plug the VCM2 into the computer.
15. Wait about 15 seconds past when the VCM2 beeps and point your browser to http://192.168.171.2

You are now in the test mode web server.
a. To set a new serial number select ‘Set New Serial Number’ and proceed with serial number setting.
The default serial number is: 1211-31605352
b. To get a root shell Telnet to 192.168.171.2 you will be dropped to a root shell without providing login credentials.
c. To stay in testmode at next reboot select ‘Set Repair Test Mode’. This has to be done once per boot or you will have to go through this whole process to re-enable test mode.

Here Be Dragons:
To those who would go poking around, tread carefully. I accidentally ran cgi-bin/total-reflash and wiped my VCM2.

My bootloader was still intacted and available on pins 24 & 25 of the HDL26-PL-B connector.

VCM2 Only see 2003 Lincoln Town in HS Mode

Problem:

2003 Lincoln Town Car Signature with Park Aid

Interface OHP ELMconfig USB with manual HS//MS switch

Connects successfully in HS mode and I can see DDM,DSM LCM, ATC,ABS, PATS and other modules – but not PAM.

Suggestion:

The ISO9141 Protocol has been supported by Both Forscan And ELM327 based adaptors since the beginning versions. HS/MS switch must be in the HS Can position for these early SCP/PWM and ISO equipped Vehicles. MSCan Position will have no connection.

WDS and NGS are the obsolete Ford Diagnostic software and hardware that were replaced by IDS and the VCM and VCM 2

Your Lincoln May have a DLC UBP pin 3 but as far as I know the Cars never had a UBP network or anything connected to it as it was mostly used in the Trucks and SUV’s. There would be about 3 to 5 volts positive to Ground if anything is connected to Pin number 3. Another member on this forum had checked his Lincoln and the 3 pin was there but it was dead.

If the PAM module was responding to Forscan through the adaptor, it should have shown up in the ISO network tree along with any other modules that are likely on that same network(The overhead consol display that the PAM warning appears on would have to be on that network) and also appeared in the vehicle configuration list.

If it is not showing up there then you will need to gain access(Remove trim panels and such like. Check manual for module location and connector views) to the display module connector and the PAM module connector to check if the positive voltage is present in the PAM module connector and the ground connection out of the connector has continuity.
Then continuity from the PAM module connector to each of the sensors connectors in rear bumper will be next!

If the module is receiving 12 V+ Power and is grounded( A working module should be showing in the network list with DTC’s if these and ISO wiring are good) and sensor wiring and connectors check out then the module communication wires from the PAM module Connector to the Display’s connector and to the DLC Pin number 7 will be the next to check as the Display gets the PAM signal from the PAM module over the ISO network.

If You say you have Service manual then You are about to make good use of it!
It should have wiring and connector Diagrams and a Pin Point flow chart in it!

If the PAM module is receiving 12V+ and has a ground connection the sensor connections check out(sensors and connectors are prone to moisture and corrosion) and the Display and PAM module’s ISO Connection to No7 DLC Pin all check out then you have a PAM module that has probably died!
It does Happen!

Good luck! Hope this is of some help?

Question:

Thanks for the feedback. The manuals are helpful except, in this case a bit confusing. In the Module Comunications Network section it says the PAM is on the UBP network and refers me to the Parking Aid section in the same manual, but in that section it clearly says the PAM is on the ISO 9141 network as I mentioned above. I do see the Restraint Control Module (RCM) show up so I guess I do have access to ISO9141.

As for truck vs car – I have noticed the Panther platform (Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, Town Car) seems to “borrow” a lot of components from the truck lines, esp. Explorer. Maybe it’s the similarities in construction and drive line.

Answer:

You are not alone in the confusion you are experiencing! I ran into this same predicament with my 03 Expedition. The Wiring manual I have shows the PAM in Module communications on the UBP (Violet Wire) network but Forscan reads it on the ISO(Light Blue/White wire) network and the Service manual says PAM is on the UBP network.

It seems that even Ford is confused about this!

If your TC has Climate Controlled Seats and you are not seeing them on the network list they may also be on the UPB network as are mine in the Expy.

If Pin 3 shows any voltage(5 V+ Key on in my Expy) to ground (Pin 4 or 5 in the DLC) you may have a UPB network and PAM may be on it in this case and that is only available with A VCM2 in Forscan. Never have tried with anything else except VCX Nano and that was an exercise in futility. Never got it to connect at all to either of these “Old Guys”! Had to go for a VCM2 Clone (Used it to help the team get UBP support working back in Version 2.3.09) and it has been good so far! Getting hard to find a good one of those unfortunately.

Only other way to tell, and you may be going in there in any case, is to to gain access to the PAM Module connector and see what wire colours are going into the Module Communications pin. Violet likely means UBP, Light Blue/White means ISO, at least it is in the two trucks (03 Expy and 05 F150) I have here, but your TC wiring Diagram may differ!

How to use Ford VCM2 clone program Ford module

 

Ford module programming with Ford VCM 2 clone
VCM2 manual: NEW module programming using Ford IDS software

You need Ford IDS software, original or crack

(VCM2 genuine definitely is the best solution, but a high-quality one should work great, not  cheap crappy tools)

VCM 2 is the new Ford OEM diagnostic tool

When installing a new module, the configuration data must be transferred from the old module beforeit is removed. The new module of Ford IDS Software will then be programmed using this information. Use the followingsteps to download the data from the existing module and program the new module:

Step 1: Select the toolbox tab at the top of the screen

Step 2: Select “Module Programming”

Step 3: Select the tick mark or the Enter key

Step 4: Select “Programmable Module Installation”

Step 5: From the fly out menu, select the type of module to be installed

Step 6: Select the tick mark or the Enter key

Step 7: Make sure that an Internet connection has been established and then select “Confirm”

Step 8: Follow the instructions on the screen. These instructions vary depending on the type ofmodule being installed.

NOTE: Be sure to follow these instructions in the exact order that they are given. Do not remove or install any modules until instructed to do so. Failure to follow the instructions correctly may result in the configuration data received during vehicle identification to program incorrectly or not at all.

Step 8A: If Ford Module Programming was unable to retrieve the configuration data due to either

a non-functioning module or a module which was removed before the data was retrieved, the

application will request that the user obtain information from the Module Build Data (As Built)

database. Access to this database is included in the Ford Module Programming subscription. The

data can be obtained by doing the following:

● Go to the Motorcraft website (www.motorcraft.com)
● Go to the Technical Resources area
● Log in using the User ID and password set up when the subscription to Ford Module

Programming was purchased

● Select “My Subscriptions”
● Select “Ford Module Programming”
● Select “Module Build Data (as Built)”
● Enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and select “Submit”
● Write down the information that was requested by the Ford Module Programming

application

● Return to the Ford Module Programming application and enter the requested information

Step 9: If necessary, apply the reprogramming label to the PCM
If an emissions recall has been performed or a required emissions-related TSB has been completed,an Authorized Modification label must be placed on the PCM. These labels can be purchased at the parts counter of a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealership.

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the technician to inform the customer that Ford Motor Company will not reimburse the vehicle owner for field service actions that are not completed at a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealership.

Step 10: When the “Programming complete” screen appears, select the tick mark or the Enterkey. If PATS initialization is required, Ford Module Programming may automatically link to the PATSparameter reset and/or key relearn procedures. Two ignition keys may be required to complete the

PATS initialization procedure.

Step 10A: If PATS initialization is required and Ford Module Programming did not link to thatfunctionality automatically, go to the Toolbox tab and select “PATS”. Detailed instructionsare provided in Section 6.

Can I use Ford VCM2 clone for Suzuki diagnosis

 

Is it possible to use a Ford VCM II unit for Suzuki diagnosis with SDT 2?
Yes!

The basic steps
– install IDS software in clean VM Windows 7 32 bit.
– downgrade firmware to v2.1.119.19
– Mazda-V94
– install SDT SDT-II_soft_2140025
– in C:\Program Files\Bosch\VTX-VCI copy all files from “VCI Software (Ford-VCM-II)” to “VCI Software (6516-Suzuki)”
and run.

In detail…

For owners of Ford VCM II (dual-board), an instruction (more specifically a review) for installing and configuring the Ford VCM II to work with the Suzuki SDT-2 program.

The site of the program is posted (sold) version 2.8.0.46, on the network (thanks to the distributor) 2.9.0.47 (from 1.10.2015).

For those already using the Ford VCM II with the Ford IDS program.

On the laptop (or OS) where the Ford VCM II with Ford IDS is installed and running, go along the path:

C: \ Program Files \ Ford Motor Company \ IDS \ Runtime \ install3rdparty \ ETAS
or
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Ford Motor Company \ IDS \ Runtime \ install3rdparty \ ETAS
Regards … (Thanks to vagvag for the information).

Copy and save in a convenient place for you or media, the file is the installer of the VCM II manager running Ford IDS.

Install the Suzuki SDT-2. Run the installer program, after a short time the program will ask you to connect VCM II. It is enough to connect via USB. We connect, only after this the program will be completely installed. (VCM II connected)

The program is installed, turn off VCM II.

We launch the file of the installer of the FORD VCM manager running Ford IDS.

We follow the path: “C: \ Program Files \ VTX-VCI”. We see two folders of VCI Software (6516-Suzuki) and VCI Software (Ford-VCM-II).

We copy the contents of the VCI Software folder (Ford-VCM-II) and paste it into the VCI Software folder (6516-Suzuki).

Reboot. We plug the power of 12 volts through the diagnostic tool, the VCM II is plugged, we connect the VCM II via USB to the laptop. There will be, as usual, installation of drivers.

Launch the VCM II Manager. The Start button \ All Programs \ Bosch \ VCI Software (6516-Suzuki) \ VCM Manager (6516-Suzuki). Click Connect. A green quote appears in the VCM image. Click on Show Details. Look, in the lines of the PC S / W Version and VCM II S / W Version, the numbers match. At the top of the picture VCM Manager inscription VCM II Manager (Ford-VCM-II). It should be so. We close VCM Manager.

We launch Suzuki SDT-2. We rejoice.

When working with the program. Connected the scanner to the car, waited for “peak”, connected via USB to the laptop and run Suzuki SDT-2. If necessary, we switch to the required language via the System Configuration (Russian is present). I have an eng OS and the program was installed with a sample of English. We are working. The program is simple, I think the questions should not arise.

Good luck!
