I'm trying to download the following calibration files from the Ford service site, but always get a "file not found" error.
Maybe anyone can tell me how (where) to get those files or provide them to me?
9M2J-14F631-AB.VBF
I'm also looking for calibration files for 8M5J-19H405-AA hardware (don't know the calib-version, maybe it's 8M2J-14F631-AA)

Yes! Ive also tried this many times on diff cars same result, i believe Ford have got wise to people downloading for free, think for all newish vehicles you have to pay subscription to download the files.
Anyone else confirm this?

Re: Looking for Ford calibration files
There is nothing wrong with the download site as I just tried it for my PCM module. My APIM software shows an error when I tried to download that so it could be the file has been updated and deleted off their system.
What is the module you want the calibration file for.

Re: Looking for Ford calibration files
Hi thats interesting, when you scan the car with Forscan it provides the part number and calibration information.
If you put that in to the website, surely it should show up and also show any later versions, otherwise how would you know their available? I have tried uppercase, lowercase with a - with a space and slash none seem to work. Tried on diff modules too same result. Also tried from Focus mk4 2019, Fiesta mk8 2018 and Fiesta 7.5 2016 again same result.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: Looking for Ford calibration files
As far as i know, some files are in a secure area of the server and cannot be downloaded without a proper I.D. or/and proper licensed software.
Forscan connects to a different data base, kind of a generic one... i think. A year ago i had a ford service recall about a software update to IPC module, so i went and did it. that update is still listed as unknown calibration in Forscan. this points me in the direction Forscan doesn't have access to VIN based updates, which i believe are custom updates, and only to hardware I.D. based updates. Another example: Forscan lists a bunch of available updates for BCM module but on the ford service website there are none, i've checked this even at the dealership and they confirmed that.
