Flash Vehicle Identification Block Procedure

NOTE: If using a generic scan tool, follow scan tool manufacturer's instructions to perform FLASH VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION (VID) BLOCK PROCEDURE.
  1. To perform this procedure New Generator Star (NGS) tester, Ford Service Function (FSF) card and NGS Flash Cable (007-00531) must be used. Plug flash cable into NGS tester. Plug other end of flash cable into Data Link Connector (DLC). From the NGS tester main menu, select SERVICE BAY FUNCTIONS, POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE and then PROGRAMMABLE MODULE INSTALLATION.
  2. NGS tester display should show 2 selections. The first selection is for the old Powertrain Control Module (PCM) information to be retrieved and stored. The second selection is for restoring new PCM with information that has been retrieved from the old PCM. Follow NGS tester display instructions or refer to instruction sheet included with FSF card. If Vehicle Identification (VID) block has been reprogrammed previously, NGS tester will display a message indicating the need to reflash entire Integrated Circuit (IC). This procedure can only be performed using Ford's Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
