Severe Duty Steering Rack, help

[Oldhippie]

Fire up FDRS and do the initial Calibration under the PSCM, and that will fix it.

@Ford Motor Company, you missed your moment.

that is what I wanted to do all along but could’t find anyone very local (150 miles or so) to do it (should have sent it to you) so went with procal for the fail…now with it installed I really need to find someone I can drive it to…help!

try CL and look for a local guy with professional scan tools.

Any Ford dealership with FDRS (which should be ALL of them) can do the Initial Calibration on the PSCM. It takes all of 3 minutes.

Yeah, if they know how or willing to try…very few would even touch the rack upgrade…but I guess it is worth asking…thanks

Shouldn't even need to mention that it happens to be 3.0 Rack, just tell them you need a power steering control module calibration, if they ask why, you had to replace the rack due to damage....

So any codes? Or are we good!

 

[Oldhippie]

I want to share my experience here in case others have this same issue. I had C1110 and U2100 in my PSCM after attempting with the ProCal method. It seemed no matter what it wasn't writing the As Built info after attempting multiple times.

I was able to fix this by loading factory As Built data in the PSCM (As Built). It downloaded from Ford's servers, then wrote all. It didn't required FDRS, and I now am error code free.

Ford's servers have been having some issues recently, if you attempt this and it says no connection its usually a Ford issue, try again later. I'm not sure why this didn't happen through the ProCal process. I connected it up to the bronco and read the factory steering module before installation. As far as I could tell I followed the instructions exactly.

@Blaylock1988 @Oldhippie @mpeugeot
Am I reading this correctly that you don't even need the Pro-Cal 4 tool?
Or need that AND Forscan to complete this?
Would dealer have to sell me the Pro-Cal 4 tool or just complete with own and Forscan?

In theory, if you are a FORSCAN expert, you can do it with just FORSCAN (the beta version), however I have only done it with FDRS and FORSCAN in the past (because it is easy and tested). You do not need to have the Pro-Cal tool, BUT you need a J2534 adapter to use FDRS (and FORSCAN works faster with the J2534 adapter too).

What mpeugeot said.

If you do use the ProCal tool, you may still need to follow up with Forscan to fix the missing PSCM as-built settings anyways until Ford figures that issue out.

But also, you can get the Ford Performance engine/transmission tune plus the procal tool on sale for about the same price as the FDRS Mongoose adapter. Then you can have both the upgraded rack and performance tune for the same price

Thanks to you both for clarifying. Since I would likely use a local dealer for this install then sounds like I'd be sold the $500 ProCal 4 tool for sure.

BTW, this is the adapter I use for FORSCAN and FDRS.

VXDIAG VCX Nano Compatible for Ford/Mazda 2 in 1 Diagnostic Tool with IDS Programming Tool Red

It’s $125 currently.

I'm getting the Calibration Not Found (Err 1). Contact Your Dealer error. I've got FDRS, I've got Forscan. But making no progress with ProCal 4. Any ideas on what to do in FDRS to make the new Severe Duty Rack work?
