Curious that your IC senses Air Temp. I wonder what that's for? Maybe it has a display on the cluster to show you the temp?

Its the OAT (outside air temperature) I relocated it inside the cabin. It displays on the Instrument Cluster, along with the compass. Contact from engineering was able to get the IC configuration data.xls sheet. Sheet has listed Write Data By Local Indetifier-Service $3B(HS-CAN). Saved me many hours of trying to figure it out. After that with the "As Built Data" and the eeprom dump the pieces came together. The "as Built data" you write to the cluster configures the bits. Using the FMP software you can configure the cluster with any parameters you want. Trick is to not have a cluster connected. Then select reprogram IC, when it can't exhale the data from the old cluster it will ask for the "As Built Data" if you know bit breakdown you can input what you want. InstrumentCluster programming whipped, next to PCM. I need to get hardware to dump MPC555 processor.

Checkout this link; http://www.evc.de/en/product/ols/bdm/default.asp#BDM123 If you really want to dump the ECU :shock: no prices posted but from the looks of the hardware I am sure its big $$$$. I think you can do the same job for a few hundred $$$ with the pemicro hardware.

hey guys,

I’ve spent the last week (at home from work) reading up on all you have been doing and I’m getting really interested and want to start down this path.
I’m a full time Software Eng guy so I’m looking to write stuff apps to read/plot performance etc to work on laptops or pda’s.
I just wanted to know a few things, like does the AU falcon also support some of the things you have been talking about. (Since that will be my “test” car)
And will a device like this Elm327-USB-CAN-OBD-2-Elm-327-OBD2-Diagnostic-Scan, interact with the likes of BA’s and AU’s etc??

Thanks
Daniel

Hi RS2K,

The elmscan your looking at will definately work with a BA but using it with an AU will be a bit hit and miss. With my old AU 1 the elmscan wouldnt work but from what Ive seen on other posts it may work with the later models.

Hope this helps

Mate, if you're serious about writing, do a search for the 'Cardix' SDK. This is meant to be an API that will let you write software independent of the Hardware used. It's not free though. But it would be a head-start on writing something that could be used on any OBD2 compatible car.

As for the AU question, I don't know either. I have seen documents that talk about SCP on the AU - Standard Corporate Protocol. This is the Ford-Term for the PWM protocol (J1850) which is supported on ELM327 and earlier. Still, I not sure if the AU confirms to J1962 which defines the pinouts of the Data Link or OBD Port. At the very top of this thread someone mentioned that the pinouts were off - and this may have referred to the AU. At the very least, you'd probabnly need the PWM/J1850 lines, 12V and GND from the AU Data Port to connect to the relevant pins on the ELM327 unit.

We were all pretty working this out as we went along. If you can get some sort of data connectivity to the AU there may be some data we can find that could help.

Luke, BPT have PCMScan PC software for the AU in beta and a cable to connect a laptop to the diag port. I hope to have a copy within days of it going GA as I want to do some real-time logging before force-feeding the car. I believe you're in Maitland, I'm near Thornton.

If you're interested in having a look, I'll PM you when it arrives.

PCMScan eh? I know that Brian looks over this thread every now and then to see what we're up to, and we tend to catch up every now and then on developments. He's quite helpful.

But having said that, I'd probably be interested more in the connectivity details. PCMScan is very good software for generic OBD stuff (But I suspect that will not always be the case. I believe he has some new product news coming up, but I should leave that up to him to reveal.)

If indeed we can establish SCP/PWM connectivity with an AU using an ELM tool, then we may be able to get data out for those guys too. As it is, my powerful tools use my J2534 Mongoose, and not the ELM, so I wouldn't be able to do the nifty stuff. If only I could afford the all-protocol Cardaq instead of the cheaper 2-protocol Mongoose....

PM away, I'm always up for conversation with like-minders....

If anyone is interested, I have pulled apart a couple of Modules and taken pics of their guts - this was so I could ID chips and find out what stuff did.

Green BEM, Black BEM, Low ICC, Dual Zone ICC, Low Series Instrument Cluster, HIM, RCM and some of a Bosch 8.0 ABS Module. There's a bunch of pics.

If anyone is super keen I could find a Picture Hosting website somewhere and put them up for all to see.

Is anyone insterested?

Also, I now have the ability to do anything an IDS can do - PATS, Parameter Reset, Audio Recode - the works.

But still no Shift Alert for FPV Instrument Clusters, or changing a Bosch 8.0 Module on a Territory to enable Hill Descent Control. Those are still avoiding me.

Have we got confirmation that the shift alert is a option that can be changed by a dealer.

Ahh yes, good reminder.

Nicko is our man-with-the-contact. I've forwarded the question, so we'll see if he can find out anything.

This thread seems to indicate that Ford Service use the IDS to do this, but it's not 100% clear, so I've asked a clarifier.

Pics please, oh yeah. It's like porn for nerds.

I can host as with the cluster dial scans.

Luke, I'd like to see your photos as well.

Also I have a BF Mk1 FPV ZF6 F6. I also have an 327 based scan tool. Can I get a dump for you that can help with the search for the shift buzzer on FPV autos?

I've got all the pics from Lukeyson, and will host and post them here soon.
