IDS TECH TIPS
UPDATED: JULY 25, 2008
July 24, 2008: New Variable Cam Timing Tool

There is a new oscilloscope tool available in R56 called Variable Cam Timing.
This tool is for 8 cylinder VCT applications (4.6L and 5.4L 3V engines). Its
purpose is to display both CAM signals for proper alignment relative to coil #1
and verify CMP signal integrity. This is done by monitoring CMP1 and CMP2
along with coil #1 for reference. All the necessary hookups are displayed and the
oscilloscope is preconfigured. Note: Select the Encyclopedia button in the
oscilloscope tool for VCT help and screen shot examples.
July 23, 2008: Windows XP Pro SP3 Approved for IDS

Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (SP3) is approved for use with IDS
software release 56. SP3 updates will improve the reliability of the USB
connection to the Vehicle Communication Module. Windows XP Pro SP3 is
available through Windows Update or can be downloaded from the Microsoft
Download Center.
July 23, 2008: VCM DVD Packaging Change

Beginning with VCM DVD 2008.7 (IDS & PDS release 56), the DVD is being
shipped in a red cardboard wrap. The wrap's length and width are similar to the
hard plastic case with the thickness of an envelope. The hard plastic case will no
longer be used. If the DVD is not received, please look for this new package
through normal mail delivery.
July 23, 2008: New IC Tool for 2008 F-250 Super Duty
The Instrument Cluster Function Test Diagnostic Tool is available on the VCM
DVD 2008.7 (IDS software release 56) for use with the 2008 F-250 Super Duty. The
Instrument Cluster Function Test Diagnostic Tool supports diagnosis of
Speedometer, Fuel Gauge, Warning Lamps, PRNDL/Message Center, Background
Illumination Test and some additional gauges like Booster and Voltage. This new
tool provides an intuitive user interface to visually test parameters which, until
now, had been available only through the Datalogger function. The technician can
choose and run the specific area of the test needed and view the results.
May 12, 2006: COP (Coil On Plug) Stress Test on IDS

During a COP test, the VMM (Vehicle Measurement Module) may lose
communications when stress testing a suspect coil. If this occurs turn the engine
off, disconnect and reconnect the communications cable (H-406) to the VMM at
the PC. Route the COP clip pigtail and the ignition cable away from the coil to
reduce electrical noise and rerun the stress test. If communications to the VMM
are lost again before a waveform is displayed, replace the coil and retest to
confirm fix.

IDS Troubleshooting Overview
These sections introduce various areas of investigation for troubleshooting the following topics:
1. Introduction
2. IDS Fails To Function Properly
3. IDS Applications Requiring Firewall Exceptions
4. IDS Compatible Firewalls
5. IDS Cannot Connect to the VCM or the VCM Cannot Be Updated
6. IDS Cannot Connect to the VMM or the VMM Cannot Be Updated
7. Computer Crashes when Powered Up after having Used IDS
8. IDS Can Neither Be Installed nor Uninstalled
0. Introduction
Acronyms:
Acronym Description
IDS Integrated Diagnostic Software
VCM Vehicle Communication Module
VMM Vehicle Measurement Module
Conventions
• All firewall information in this document relates to software firewalls. References will use the term
"firewall" in place of the more accurate "software firewall."
1. IDS Fails To Function Properly
• Failure of an IDS component to function properly may be attributable to the use of a 3 rd party
firewall. The firewall exceptions needed by IDS are set automatically, by IDS, for the standard
Windows Firewall; however, this is not possible for 3 rd party firewalls. The use of a 3 rd party
firewall requires the user to allow the nece ssary firewall exceptions required by IDS.
After installation of a 3 rd party firewall any attempt to run an IDS component should cause the
display of a notice (initiated by the 3 rd party firewall) that the IDS component is requesting
firewall access. The noted exception should be allowed after careful examination to verify the
request is being made by an IDS component. The number of requests will vary depending on the
specific 3rd party firewall installed. Some 3 rd party firewall software will make 10+ requests.
If a new IDS version is installed, typically, the 3 rd party firewall packages will prompt the user to
re-allow the necessary exceptions.
See the section "IDS Applications Requiring Firewall Exceptions" for a list of the noted
applications.
• IDS may also fail to function properly if the applic ation is started immediately after powering up
or restarting the computer on which a 3 rd party firewall is installed. The 3 rd party firewall must be
allowed to fully initialize under the noted conditions prior to starting IDS. In general, the 3 rd party
firewall should be fully initialized once th e associated icon appears in the taskbar.
1-19
2. IDS Applications Requiring Firewall Exceptions
• In the following table replace the "..." in the file name with the directory where IDS was installed.
For example, "…" would be replaced with "C:\Program Files\Ford Motor Company\IDS" for the
default installation directory.
• The items in the table have been copied from the Window Firewall Exceptions list as set
programmatically by IDS for the Windows firewall. Application names may vary in 3rd party
firewalls. The file name, however, must match the one specified.

3. IDS Compatible Firewalls
• IDS has been tested with the firewalls listed in the table below. IDS components function
properly with all of the listed firewalls when firewall exceptions have been allowed for the
applications noted in the section "IDS Applications Requiring Firewall Exceptions." Other 3rd party
firewalls may function equally well with the noted exceptions allowed.
• An attempt has been made to rank the listed firewalls for ease-of-setup for use with IDS. This
does not equate in any manner to the firewall capabilities of the products.
• Although IDS compatibility has been verified with the product versions listed, applied patches or
new versions of the listed products may not be compatible. Compatibility may also be affected by
new versions of IDS.
• One compatibility exception is the Privacy Service component of the McAfee Internet Security
Suite package. The Privacy Service component must be uninstalled using the Windows "Add or
Remove Programs" control panel. Disabling the Privacy Service component is not sufficient and
1-20
failure to uninstall the Privacy Service component will prevent IDS from functioning properly or
even starting.

information is detailed on pages

Module Configuration
Principles of Operation
Configurable modules accommodate a variety of vehicle options, eliminating the need
for many unique modules for one vehicle line. These modules must be configured when
replaced as part of a repair procedure.
Configurable modules should not be exchanged between vehicles since settings are
unique to each vehicle. Failure to configure a new module may result in improper
operation and/or any of the following DTC's setting:
• B2477 — body/chassis module not configured or configured incorrectly.
• B2900 — VIN mismatch between module and PCM.
• P0602, P0605 and/or P1639 — PCM vehicle identification (VID) block not
configured.
• U0300 and/or U0301 — Configuration between 2 or more modules don't match.
• U2050 and/or U2051 — Valid strategy/calibration is not present.
The following are the 3 different methods of configuration:

• Programmable module installation (PMI)
• Module reprogramming ("flashing")
• Programmable parameters
6-5
Definition of Terms
• Programmable Module Installation (PMI) is a scan tool process which configures
settings in a new module. Data used for the PMI process is automatically
downloaded from the original module and stored when a scan tool session is started.
If this data cannot be retrieved from the module being replaced, the scan tool may
prompt for As-Built data entry or display a list of parameter values that need to be
manually selected. Some modules are reprogrammed during PMI when a
strategy/calibration update is available. A module must be able to communicate with
the scan tool in order to carry out PMI. It is important that the scan tool identifies the
vehicle and obtains configuration data prior to removing any modules.
• Module Reprogramming (also referred to as "flashing") is a scan tool process which

updates the strategy/calibration in a module. Module reprogramming is automatically
carried out during PMI when a later strategy/calibration is available. Reprogramming
a module with the same level of software will not improve module operation or repair
a hardware failure. Module reprogramming should be limited to circumstances where
a published Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) procedure recommends doing so. A
module cannot communicate with other modules on the communication network
while being reprogrammed. Clear any network communication DTC's which may
have been set in other modules during reprogramming.
• Programmable Parameters are customer preference items that may be modified via
scan tool or in some cases modified by the customer following a procedure listed in
the vehicle Owner's Guide. While many configuration options may exist for a
module, only a few of these options are programmable parameters.
• Adaptive Learning and Calibration

Some modules require a separate learning procedure be carried out if replaced as
part of a repair procedure. For adaptive learning and calibration instructions, refer to
the specific module removal and installation procedures.
• Vehicle Identification (VID) Block

Some PCMs contain a memory area called a vehicle identification (VID) block. PCM
VID block stores powertrain configuration items such as VIN, tire size, axle ratio,
and whether or not the vehicle is equipped with speed control.
• As-Built Data is a VIN specific module configuration record. During vehicle build, the
configuration from all modules is downloaded and stored in the As-Built database.
As-Built data will not reflect customer preference items that have been changed from
the default state. These items will need to be changed using programmable
parameters after the module is configured. It is not necessary to obtain As-Built data
unless directed to do so by the scan tool. This data may be accessed from OASIS.

The VMM Heart Beat / Under temperature / Over temperature Operating LED (LED1) will be flashed
regularly, approximately once per second, when the VMM software is running normally.
This LED will flash slowly, approximately once every 2 seconds, (with all other LED’s unlit) if the
VMM is in ‘warm-up’ mode following storage at temperatures below freezing.
This LED will flash rapidly, approximately five per second, (with all other LED’s unlit) if the VMM is
shut-down due to over temperature.
The Power/ POST Diagnostic LED (LED2) flashes to indicate boot failure code in the event of a VMM
boot POST failure. A permanently lit Red LED indicates no failures.
The Critical Access LED (LED3) flashes during critical VMM activity such as Flash Memory access.
The VMM power source must not be removed while this LED is flashing.
The Host Link Activity LED (LED4) flashes whenever Host packets are being transferred (similar to
the LED ‘LAN’ indicator used on PC Ethernet port connector) between the VMM and PC.
If VMM powers On, but operates abnormally

• Remove/connect power to VMM
• VerifyLED 2 is on steady red (passed Power On Self Test)
• If VMM Power On Self Test (POST) fails, contact the Ford Technical Information Support
