Tech Writer: Recognition for the technical writers of AFF - Issue reason: Outstanding work on the FG ICC issues. Technical Contributor: For members who share their technical expertise. - Issue reason: The insane amount of work he has put into the Falcon FG ICC is unbelievable. He has shared everything he has done and made a great deal of it available to us all. He has definitely helped a great deal of us with no personal gains to himself.

Some years ago when I tried to swap in a full set of 2011 Mk2 XR6T(auto) electronics into a 2011 Mk1 XR6T(manual) I had problems to update the As-built data in the cluster, I needed to set it to 'manual' instead of 'auto', but couldn't figure that out back then.

Back then, if the vehicle had been a Focus III, there was a Russian website that had an as-built editor. http://ford.xtlt.ru/ab/ That editor wouldn't quite work with the Falcon file. Is that something that would be useful to do now, to develop an as-built data file fixer that works for FG2 and late Terri?

This link explains a little more how the FoCCCus app worked: http://blog.obdii365.com/2020/01/24/...-coder-reader/

I haven't looked too closely what Forscan can do these days, so maybe that has a solution for it already.

Cheers,
Thanks!

I've been running a 2nd hand 2014 cluster (so the newest Mk2 firmware) in my 2012 XR6T for the past half-year and I suspect it came out of a ute. Since I copied over my EEPROM and flashed the CCC data into the last block of flash memory, it is now a full clone - except for the FPV upgrades I gave myself. I'm sure if it came out of a manual, which I don't think it did, it wouldn't "remember" after what I did.

But other than a few details in the CCC data, like the formatted byte and VIN, I really don't know what any of the values do. I assume because it's "Central" data, it gets sent to a few other devices over the CAN BUS, so I didn't bother looking too closely at what the cluster firmware does with it. Most of the cluster firmware is driven by the EEPROM values.

Yeah, I have not looked at Forscan for a while either... I was hanging out for the in-code-out-code stuff to work on a Mk2 (they got it working on the Mk1) but I kind of beat them to the finish-line. I think my method of installing a new cluster is better anyway, nothing else in the car needs to be re-programmed to install the different cluster (or swap them back later).
