Hello all, I'm looking to update the firmware on the PCM this weekend (Mk2 Kuga 2l Diesel Powershift).

I have read the current AsBuilt from my PCM and will save it first.

As far as I have read after updating the calibration/ strategy etc I have to re-load the original AsBuilt (it is not available from Ford).

What other steps do I need to do?, I don't really want to reset anything and then find out the car is undrivable!.

Cheers all.

why you updating out of interest ?

im just getting into updating modules. the pcm and bcm im not 100% comfortable with as if it goes wrong im screwed haha

also what adapter are you using. ive an els and vcm so far the vcm has been much better updating the few modules i have

The PCM is 4 versions newer BUT I still haven't done that one yet!.

I did our Powershift TCU and it does drive much better now (newer Strategy and Calibration). Took 5 mins tops for new firmware to go in.

I use a VCM2 (proper 2 board unit), and a decent 12amp battery charger to get the voltage up!.
