M190 to M210 OEM Wire Assembly

[Brian_B]

The other thing that I would mention if you are wiring up your own pigtail:

polarity matters. The internal coil wiring is color coded standard red (+) and black (-). I know on the m220 you can unscrew the connector body and pull it out away from the diff housing to verify which pin is which. I’m not sure if you can on a m210 as I’ve never worked on one (yet) but I imagine there is a way, even if it’s popping the cover

if you wire it up backwards it may blow the coil (and fuses and your mind) and that is a huge pain in the butt

No I don't. Hopefully that changes what needs to be changed in the AsBuilt for you!

You should do an AsBuilt backup before and after and compare them to see what changes are made...

Hi Jeremy,
Today I spent some more research time and found that the AWD module that I have may not support the Front Locker.

Ford Part Number MB3Z-7P238-E For Open Front Axle (my Bronco)
Sticker Part Number MB3A-7P238-GA
H/W MB3P-14GF581-BA

Ford Part Number MB3Z-7P238-D For Front Locker
Sticker Part Number MB3A-7P238-FA
H/W MB3P-14GF581-AA

Which AWD module do you have? May be that is your missing piece.
I used a mirror to look at the sticker on the bottom of the module.

So steps to take so far.
Install M210
Enable Rock Crawl G.O.A.T Mode with forscan (Already done)
Install OEM wire assembly with ELD connector
Install Hero Switch that also includes Front Locker Switch
Install different AWD Module and configure it. (but how to configure?)
Use ProCal to update from M190 to M210.

Outcome
Still don't know what it would take to configure the different AWD module and if that would complete the puzzle.
According to the Workshop manual after swapping the AWD module I'll need to Use the diagnostic scan tool, complete the PMI process for the AWD module following on-screen instructions. Not sure if Forscan can do the PMI process and I would probably need a different configuration file from an Outbanks with Advanced 4X4, Automatic Trans and Sasquatch.

Note: Looked at the wiring harness that plugs into the AWD module and all of the wires are the required for the ELD, so that harness should be OK.

Yeah, I'm probably not going to even bother with it at this point. I got a front locker that I can turn on whenever I want so... Hopefully you'll get it so others can follow in your foot steps!

Keep us posted.

Yeah I'm pretty happy with just using the Aux switch so far.

I think using a switch and relay is a better option…I am thinking about changing mine to switches or at least designing a “By-pass” around the computer after losing my lockers out in the boonies because of a wheel sensor “Event”…

It requires a J2534 adapter (like this one: VXDIAG VCX Nano Compatible for Ford/Mazda 2 in 1 Diagnostic Tool with IDS Programming Tool Red https://a.co/d/3KrQJES) and FDRS to program/configure the AWD module. You can alternatively do it with FORSCAN (must use the Beta version for programming the module), and that's not as straightforward as using FDRS.

Edit: Some people don't like the VCX diag, and endorse the Mongoose-Plus J2534 OEM Vehicle Interface Cable - Ford/Lincoln/Mercury OEM Reprogramming and Diagnostics https://a.co/d/jiV6nLw, so if you prefer to spend $450 more, get the Mongoose.

I had planned to purchase the Mongoose and pay as needed the FJDS License (2 day).
So where would I get the correct configuration file for a 2022 Outbanks with Advanced 4X4, Automatic Trans and Sasquatch? I'm thinking I would need a VIN to use.
My other thought was to get the AWD Module from a wrecked 2022 Outbanks with Advanced 4X4, Automatic Trans and Sasquatch. Then maybe I would not have to program the module.

The easiest way is to use a donor VIN and FDRS will download the appropriate software to program the module. Program and configuring the module should be relatively straight forward from there. No I have not personally done that with the AWD module, so your mileage may vary and you may also need to program the ABS module as well, as I imagine there could be dependencies that I am unaware of.
