Guide Fitting Cruise Control Focus Mk2 & Mk2.5 And Ford C-Max

[firefighter]

if i don't enable cc in gem the only thing i don't have ist the warning light at my dashboard ? I make the procedure

enable from hec ,ok and go to pcm

read the firmware from pcm save as bin file

read vid block from pcm and i can;t have any window open to save something here

check the integrated speed control and save a pcm

load vid block from file ,only option is pcm only 1 kb (??????)

load firmware from file, the bin file

we get warning for empty vid block and click no

next write firmware to pcm ,write 97 sectors

go for a ride after this procedure and nothing works for cruise control

[firefighter]

when i choose elm config .zip from here http://civil.iffc.ru/elmconfig/ i get the warning

other drivers i have i dont;t remember where i get it works fine i think except gem

[igorsinkovec]

GEM is General Electronic Module - you have to enable CC in GEM or it won't work. The CC light on the dashboard is controlled by HEC - Hybrid Electronic Cluster.

I couldn't read or write to GEM either until I clicked "Setup adapter for MS-CAN bus". Try that first.

About that Windows component error: you have to register all .ocx files with regsvr32.exe (part of Windows system files) http://www.wikihow.com/Register-OCX-Files

Good luck trying again!

[firefighter]

the procedure from wiki is for this ocx files?

[igorsinkovec]

Yes.

Just take care, that Wiki has one wrong screenshot. You have to use "regsvr32.exe", not "repair-bde.exe". The text in the Wiki is correct, just not that one screenshot.

And, I don't think it's necessary to restart your computer after.

[firefighter]

no it won't work.Do you think it's the 64 bit windows 7 the reason

[igorsinkovec]

Might be. I used 32bit Windows.

[Dee_82]

64 bit windows wont make any difference, the device works yeah? I mean you can use it for Forscan and some ELMconfig or can you got get it to work at all?

As for the wheel and airbag, I didn't actually check the codes, I knew I needed a 4 spoke wheel from a focus mk2 and NOT a cmax, the rest was pretty straight forward, hit eBay and searched for it, ive been looking for ages to be honest and a buy it now or best offer popped up one day at a good price, an I had it the next. if your wanting to do the conversion and use your existing airbag then its going to be a bit more complicated.

that's a tad expensive, but you might get it for 110 120, the hassle you save yourself will be great.

there are some covers for a 4 spoke wheel for 50 quid, not much in the way of actual wheels just now thought.

as for your ELmConfig software,

I want you to delete the folder you downloaded it to, then make an ELMConfig folder in your Documents fold, extract

http://civil.iffc.ru/ELMConfig/ELMConfig.zip

to that folder

then download and run

http://civil.iffc.ru/ELMConfig/RuntimePack.exe

next up is to configure the ELM adaptor

yours looks the same as mine so download the drivers from below and install

http://www.totalcardiagnostics.com/files/CP210x_VCP_Win_XP_S2K3_Vista_7.exe

once installed go to device manager and make sure its working, look for com ports and make sure there are no yellow ! or red crosses, if it does let me know, if its working fine thenuse the guide

http://www.spanglefish.com/TunnelratElectronics/index.asp?pageid=520030

to setup the adaptor to work with MS-CAN

ok it works ,just enter 38400 speed ans activated cc to gem ,we see now how it goes for hec and pcm

[Dee_82]

do you have the wheel installed?

I had enabled GEM before I did the work only to find it didn't work, I had to disable it in GEM and then re enable it before it would function

[firefighter]

Success.As you see in the picture i have enable cc.I want to thanks igorsinkovec and Dee_82 for their help ,for their patience and the time they spent to help me so i can make this happen.Thanks again

[igorsinkovec]

Cheers mate! Glad you got it to work.

[igorsinkovec]

Make sure you donate a little something to Sergey for his ELMConfig software too.

Anyone know where must we connect cruise button wire to our car ?

Cruise enabled thanks to this Guide and Sergey for the ELM Config software, by far the best one out of all the versions I tried. Donation on it's way.

[firefighter]

just make a donation ,thanks

Brown and white leads under the steering wheel column cover. See first page of this topic: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/30008-guide-fitting-cruise-control-focus-mk2-mk25-and-ford-c-max/

[tamingsari]

Which one for brown and which one for white ?

Doesn't matter, it will work either way.

[tamingsari]

Okey i will try .. Thanks igorsinkovec

Has anyone had troubles with doing this on a mk2 with the 1.8TDCI engine? I read on another forum that there are issues with writing to the PCM on certain software versions present on the 1.8TDCI, that can lead to the car no longer starting.

Hello everyone,

Milosh here from Bosnia...

I haven't read the whole thread (but have read the first few pages) but I believe I know what's needed for activating CC.

Despite that, I have a problem activating it, hence I would like to hear your opinion and get some help from you guys.

Let me first say that I drive a MK2 Focus (2007, 1.6 TDCi, 66kW, basic trim/equipment). I have all the needed wiring and switches, and my GEM module part number ends in BB (it's a newer type, part number 7M5T-14C245-BB). My PCM module type is: EDC16C34-2.

I have installed a modified radio control stalk with built in CC buttons (see the picture):

and I connected the two CC wires to the brown and white wires of the steering column clockspring connector. After that, I entered into the GEM test mode which confirmed that the buttons are connected to GEM (pressing of each CC button brings up a beep and indicators flash).

I then activated CC in all of the three modules (HEC, GEM, PCM) using ElmConfig v2.16, but CC still doesn't work.

When trying to activate it in PCM, I didn't come across any errors and I was able to write in the new VID block without downloading and writing the entire firmware (the steps I used: Read from PCM -> Check the Integrated Speed Control checkbox -> Write to PCM -> Writing finished successfully).

I tried driving in 4th gear with speed above 40, 50 and 60 km/h and pressing the ON button, and then pressing all five buttons, but nothing happens.

One note, I have successfully written the new configurations to all three modules. When I click Read from (module) in all three of them, their corresponding CC checkboxes are ticked!

Then I tried to deactivate CC in all three modules and activate it again, but to no avail, it still doesn't work. I can deactivate and reactivate CC in all the modules, and again, when I read from the modules, the appropriate CC check-boxes are ticked, but it still doesn't work!

Do you guys have an idea what might be going on?

Is it possible that my GEM module doesn't support CC and yet it beeps in test mode when the buttons are pressed?

Thanks for your help!

Milosh

[igorsinkovec]

First thing I would do is test the radio stalk buttons resistance values. Do you have access to an ohm-meter or multimeter? I know the buttons are probably fine, but this test is the easiest thing you can do and it would eliminate (or confirm) the possibility of faulty wiring. After all, you can't always trust Chinese quality control. Don't forget that even if every button produces a beep that doesn't necessarily confirm their ohm values are correct.

If the radio stalk is fine, my guess is a fault or incompatibility in the PCM. Maybe the PCM firmware doesn't support Cruise control? I'm not an expert but that's my gut feeling.

[Milosh]

Thanks Igor, I'll check the ohm values using a multimeter. I have the Focus schematics file. I find it hard to believe that my PCM or its firmware doesn't support CC. Btw, the firmware inside my PCM is the newest version available for that type, dated late 2008. Cheers
