BF Falcon ACM Module not showing.

Post by BFNIGHTMARE »

I'm looking for some answers about why I cannot get the ACM module to display.

I'm using a full subscription. And have a Bluetooth adaptor. Going through windows laptop
.
I have a code on the icc display that I want to configure to remove the code.

But I'm unable to do so because of this.

I've seen people do this on you tube but they are using a cable elm27 adaptor.
Is this why I cannot access the ACM? Because I'm using a Bluetooth adapter.

And. yes it has a can switch that I have tried in both positions.
Or may it be something else. Like the ICC unit itself? Or the BCM module?

I've heard that the Bluetooth adapter may not read all modules is this correct.
I'm new to all this so any help anyone can give me would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Ideally, you'd be using one of the recommended cables but BA's are pretty basic & the ACM is on HSCAN, so what you have should work. I usually tell people to bin adapters that have a manual switch

Make sure the switch is set to HSCAN, try connecting again & when it asks if you want to use a saved profile, say no so it scans for all modules. This usually works

If there's an issue with the module, wiring or pcb, the ACM might not be on CAN which could stop it from being found

The ACM will display in the earlier 2002 BA Falcon, & ACM module initialisation can be carried out. Here's screensnips from a 2003 BA Falcon
