Description
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) module must be reset or recalibrated each time a door actuator is replaced or when ATC module is replaced. It is necessary for ATC module to learn feedback voltage values for each door stop position for all doors in front HVAC unit housing and rear HVAC unit housing. If an actuator blend door, mode door, or if recirculation door, or door actuator are out of calibration, ATC system will not perform at maximum efficiency.
Learn cycle is necessary if any power liftgate or power sliding door component has been removed or replaced, liftgate or door has been adjusted, battery has been disconnected or DTCs have been cleared. Power Sliding Door Module (PSDM) learns travel limits and door travel resistance. Power Liftgate Module (PLGM) learns liftgate travel resistance.
Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC), located on lower left edge of instrument panel. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Check for power liftgate and power sliding door codes. Clear any DTCs. Operate power liftgate or power sliding door and recheck for DTCs. If any DTCs exist, diagnose and repair as necessary. See BODY CONTROL MODULES - CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER article. Using scan tool, select test routine menu and command power open. Select power close. If scan tool is not available, open and close power liftgate or power sliding door using switches. Ensure power liftgate or power sliding door cycles through complete open and close cycle. If power liftgate or power sliding door will not fully open or close, a problem still exists. Diagnose and repair as necessary.
General Information
If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced, unique secret key data must be transferred from Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) to PCM. This procedure requires SKIM to be placed in SECURED ACCESS mode using 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) code.
If PCM and SKIM are replaced at the same time, program Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into PCM first. All vehicle keys will need to be replaced and programmed into new SKIM.
SECURED ACCESS mode is not required to check programmed status of key.
If 3 attempts are made to enter secured access mode using an incorrect PIN code, SECURED ACCESS mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit lock out mode, turn ignition switch to on position continuously for one hour then enter the correct PIN code. Ensure all accessories are turned off. Monitor battery state and connect battery charger as necessary.
To program smart keys using "customer programming method" requires 2 valid smart keys. See appropriate ANTI-THEFT SYSTEMS article.
| CAUTION | If wrong country code is programmed into SKIM when requested, SKIM must be replaced. |
SECURED ACCESS mode is not required to check programmed status of key. If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced, unique secret key data must be transferred from Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) to PCM. This procedure requires SKIM to be placed in SECURED ACCESS mode using 4-digit PIN code.
SKIM will only remain in secured access mode for 60 seconds. If incorrect unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) is entered 3 times, SKIM will be locked for one hour. To exit lock out mode, turn ignition switch to RUN position continuously for one hour. Ensure all accessories are turned off. Monitor battery state and connect battery charger is necessary. To program smart keys using "customer programming method" requires 2 valid smart keys. See owner's manual.
Flash Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) is contained in an Integrated Circuit (IC) inside of Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy and any calibration information specific to vehicle. The IC is reprogrammable, and at times it may become necessary to reprogram or reflash the entire contents. This is usually due to an after-production strategy change or the Vehicle Identification (VID) area has been previously reprogrammed and has reached its limit. The VID block can be tailored to accommodate various hardware changes made since vehicle production. This procedure can only be performed using Ford's Service Bay Technical System (SBTS) or equivalent.
A replacement PCM will have a label stating PROGRAMMING REQUIRED. This indicates that it is necessary to retrieve VID data from the original PCM before removing PCM from vehicle. This procedure can be performed using New Generation Star (007-00500) tester or equivalent. See FLASH VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION (VID) BLOCK PROCEDURE . If original PCM is nonfunctional, it will be necessary to manually reprogram VID block. This procedure can only be performed using Ford's Service Bay Technical System (SBTS) or equivalent.
Flash Vehicle Identification (VID) Block Procedure
Note. If using a generic scan tool, follow scan tool manufacturer's instructions to perform FLASH VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION (VID) BLOCK PROCEDURE.
- To perform this procedure, NGS tester, Ford Service Function (FSF) card and NGS Flash Cable (007-00531) must be used. Plug flash cable into NGS tester. Plug other end of flash cable into Data Link Connector (DLC), located under instrument panel next to steering column. From the NGS tester main menu, select SERVICE BAY FUNCTIONS, PCM-POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE and then PROGRAMMABLE MODULE INSTALLATION.
- NGS tester display should show 2 selections. The first selection is for old PCM information to be retrieved and stored. The second selection is for loading new PCM with information that has been retrieved from the old PCM. Follow scan tool display instructions or refer to instruction sheet included with FSF card. If Vehicle Identification (VID) block has been reprogrammed previously, NGS tester will display a message indicating the need to reflash entire Integrated Circuit (IC). This procedure can only be performed using Ford's Service Bay Technical System (SBTS) or equivalent.
