2005-2009 SJB Control Functions not working

Post by Black_Sunshine »

So I recently retrofitted the factory perimeter active anti-theft system to my 2006 Mustang GT that originally didn't have that option and successfully enabled it in the as-built data after a lot of trial-and-error but am running into some problems testing it which leads me to an overarching problem:

When I enable the "Control" PIDs in Forscan under "Read PID Data" (the little greyed out sliders button) and select control PIDs like "IS_SENSE" or "ALL_LOCK" or honestly most Control PIDs related to the SJB/GEM they simply don't activate. The same goes for the PCM where a small number of control buttons will actually do something (even tried out manually changing spark advance while the engine is running...works but would not recommend :lol: ). Is this simply functionality that is not fully available yet or is there a workaround? It's important to me because often the Ford Service Manual will say to activate certain functions using a VCM under the Pinpoint Tests such as "Trigger the SJB active command ISM ACTIVE ON".

BTW I am using either the old OBDLINK MX Bluetooth or a VCX Nano if anyone thinks the hardware could be an issue.
