If you do lose control of the car, the car just cut power whether you have Traction Control on or off and straightens up the car. They did this to keep the 5 star ANCAP rating but it is F#$king dangerous. DSC is on permanently either way and if you even try to steer away the yore sensor will also cut power. So I'm not sure if you are aware but in the FPV FG F6 MK2, The ABS module will not let you turn DSC off even though you can see as part of the tune file that you just need to hold the button for 10 seconds. This will greatly assist others if you can share this information. Please note the model (eg ute, sedan, g6 etc).
There is no guarantees with this process however it appears to work on the FG Mk1 Series of vehicles which has been tested.Īnyone who has the following and can please read and upload your as built files from your ABS modules it would be muchly appreciated. Also test your ABS still functions correctly afterwards in a safe environment. Now please ensure you test these changes in a safe environment on an engine dyno if possible. If you have a manual BF or an auto Mk1 FG you can use the supplied files below AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you have any issues you can always restore your backup. Now "Load All" and "Write All" the as built file from the turbo vehicle on the converted NA vehicle and restore the data. Select Configuration and Programming and select the ABS module.įollow the same steps on the turbo vehicle.
Please be aware if this is done wrong you may be left with a non functional ABS system. The turbo as built data was then uploaded to the NA conversion vehicle and voila, no more ABS fault. The customer then connected to a Mk1 FG Turbo ZF 6 speed and downloaded the as built data. To reprogram the ABS module we installed Forscan with an extended functionality license (Very cheap and a great product!) and saved the NA ABS module as built data as a backup.
One customer has recently tested this on a Mk1 NA FG automatic ZF 6 speed which had a turbo PCM, TCM installed but the NA ABS module was left in the car. As such you can change a non turbo ABS module to a turbo ABS module. Recently there have been updates to Forscan which allow editing the ABS module as built data. Previously the advice was to source a turbo ABS module from the same vehicle, or attempt to reprogram it with Ford IDS which is fairly tricky. When the entire drive train and all modules are swapped this is relatively easy, the problem occurs when customers add a turbo to an NA engine swapping the PCM only, leaving the NA ABS module. It is becoming increasingly common for customers to convert NA Falcons to Turbo. UPDATE: As built data is being collected here, thanks to Mick for starting the group, great to see everyone contributing as it helps us all out.
