2005 Expedition cant access the VSM

Post by AcesOverEights »

I have a 2005 Expedition, I have an ELM327 and sucessfully installed a HS/MS CAN switch. I can access modules on both sides, but I cannot see the VSM.
I am having VSM related problems, and I would like to see what codes are present in it so I can fix them.
VSM's are listed as modules the FORScan can access. If I cannot see it, might that mean that the VSM is dead?

VSM module can be placed on different bus depending on model (ISO, UBP, MS-CAN). But on 2005 Expedition with MS-CAN bus, the VSM module should be available on MS-CAN. So it is quite odd the module is not detected. Please try to clear vehicle profile (Vehicle->Profiles) and try to connect again. If still not found, please email or PM us internal FORScan log for detailed analysis (instruction on Contact Us page of the site).

I removed and restarted a profile. No change.

Sent in the log folder.

To update status for this thread:

As discussed by email, the VSM module is mandatory for this model and must respond on the MS-CAN bus. But it doesn't. So suspect VSM or wiring problems,
