Rickster42 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Anyone been successful in loading a previous calibration back into a pcm? I have an 06e17 that was programmed(heavy mods/retail) that I would like to reprogram to a previous program so the vgt doesn`t go crazy trying to learn what it can`t... I had an 03 that had what i wanted, tried pmi the pcm, then hooked up to this truck. It did the flash, but it still has 06e17 calibration in it. Any one been successful at this?TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster42 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 I took a look at it this afternoon and it looks like it worked? I still have 06e17 pids, like vgt_LE and vgt_CNC but those pids appear dead. It doesn`t try and learn the vgt even after a KAM reset, Vgt just stays where it should at idle. Crossing my fingers...

GregH Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I was successful one time going back to an original calibration. This was back when we used the NGS thincards and programmed them in a desktop PC. Back then you could select which version of NGS software you wanted to run. Just make sure it was a date that was before any calibration updates. Then locate and load the original calibration off the calibrations disk. Wow. That was a long time ago... Nowadays, it's virtually impossible to revert the calibration. I've never been successful, and have only heard anecdotal evidence of other's success. The older calibrations aren't located on the IDS anymore at all. You only have one copy of the latest and greatest, or no copy at all. I believe that the IDS also verifies with Ford that the calibration level installed in a vehicle is the latest or not when it is identifying the vehicle. Try going to the log icon the next time you identify a vehicle - calibration levels and continuous codes are all right there for every module. Interesting that we have to self test for continuous codes, and go through several key cycles to see if we can program a module... Yet the IDS already knows - and has known since just after hooking the stupid thing up! By the way, the IDS is communicating over the wireless network (if available) during the vehicle identification phase... VIN's, continuous codes, cailbration levels, and then hop onto the internet? Big brother Ford knows exactly what we are doing with the IDS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHNO60 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 DAM THEY MUST BE BORED WITH THE P0299'S,P0404,P0401 AND TESTMAN F-UPS.I HAD LUCK FEW TIMES WITH AS BUILT DATA REVERTING. THESE DAYS A RETAIL JOB WITH HEAVY MODS IS EITHER NOT TOUCHED OR CUSTOMER WARNED OF POSSIBLE ISSUES FROM PROGRAMMING TO LATEST.OUR SM BASICALLY TURNS THE MOD GUYS AWAY,TOO MUCH DIAG AND AGRIVATION WITH COLLECTING ACTUAL TIME WITH SOME DIAGS AND PROCEDURES GETTING UNIT TO STOCK TO TEST. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/drinkingdude.gif GOOD OLD NGS! FRIGGEN BUTTON WAS ONLY PROBLEM WE EVER HAD! MATTER OF FACT I HEAR SOME LOCAL GUYS STILL USING IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I use the NGS everyday, it stays on my tool box, and still has plenty of life left in it. Which is more than I can say for SBDS and WDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
