[Guide] Unlock Sport Mode in Ford Fiesta MK8 1.5 TDCi
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2025 10:14 am
Foreword
It's superfluous to point out that any damage resulting from this modification is only your responsibility!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After months of searching, banging my head without finding anything useful and always getting the same message from everyone “It's impossible” here I am.
Today I announce that I finally managed to unlock the Sport driving mode on Ford Fiesta MK8 with 1.5 TDCi engine without Canbus Box or any other tricks.
Below the guide and prerequisites:
Prerequisites
The drive mode selection panel must be as in the following picture:
and NOT:
Consider that if production year of your car is < of late 2019 it's very likely that you will not be able to unlock this and other modes unless you upgrade/replace all the modules needed to change modes (PCM, ABS, PSCM, HVAC and most likely others).
In summary you must have at least GEN2.
Guide
You simply need to edit the first two bytes in third block in register 760-03-03 in ABS module and the possible configurations available are as follows:
- For the first byte
In addition, my hardware configuration with related P/Ns, strategies, calibrations, etc...
Anyway, my current configuration is:
760-03-03 -> XXXX-XXXX-2B
That enables Eco, Normal, Sport and Slippery modes.
In case of any DTCs (in my case in PCM, ABS, RCM and IMPA), you can delete them, they are temporary DTCs caused when writing the new configuration in ABS module and will not appear again.
I have not yet had a chance to thoroughly test how well this new configuration works, but I would say that it's a good place to start to finally be able to change select drive modes for real and without any adapters or tricks.
And finally...
It's superfluous to point out that any damage resulting from this modification is only your responsibility!
