How change VIN in 2008 Ford F150?

Post by luisdimas11 »

Hi, After replace the PCM in 2008 Ford F150 4.2L, my Launch Scanner and Forscan are reading a different VIN, I think it is the VIN of donor car. I tried to change it with forscan but it did not show me the PCM module at "Configuration and Programming" section. See the picture. How can I change it? Thank you

This will require a PCM Firmware update with Forscan version 2.4.22(2.3.XX will not even see the PCM VID block update configuration ), a One year license and an Adapter with FEPS capability such as the vLinker FS or a J2534 Passthru adapter with FEPS capability!
