Since activating my drive off door locks, I notice that when I stop the car, take the keys out and try to open mine / passenger door, the front doors unlock, but the rear doors dont!?

 

I have to then unlock twice (anti hijack) before I can actually get the kids out of the car...

 

Anybody have any idea's or seen this on there cars?

What about if you open the driver's door? If you pull the driver's interior lock just enought to unlock the door it should unlock all doors and boot.

Auto-lock should have nothing to do with the anti-hijack function! That you can activate/de-activate with you remote. Just keep near the car and press both lock and unlock buttons. After three seconds the indicators will flash and you should de-activate or activate the anti hijack. You can repeat the procedure and it will get to the former state.

Good afternoon

 

I am Portuguese and I have a Focus 1.6 TDCI MK2.5 2008.

 

I upgraded the ROM 0230 to ROM  0509. Now instantaneous consumption is delayed, the hidden menu appears the error "nvm eeprom lvl 0001-Fail".

I've been to Ford and only resolved with a new panel.

 

Can I go back to the 0230 ROM?

 

Help me please

 

Sorry for my english

Why didn't they update the HEC to a later version? 0509 is not the latest version available...

The strange thing is that my HEC is on 0230 and also have that NVM EEPROM LVL 00001 FAIL but works fine... i think!

Can anyone tell me which are the best drivers for an USB ELM so I can update my HEC to rom 0509?

I am using Windows XP 32bits and I tried to download the FTDI drivers from their website but Windows won't install the ELM with those drivers. I had to install it with Prolific drivers.

Once installed I made the speed test in ELM Config and all gave me OK result. But after test was over I couldn't enter with any speed. I had to unplug the ELM and close the Elm Config and started all again. The problem is that I can only enter with 38400 speed. No other option works....

From what I already saw and what I have eard the safest way is to get away from Page 3 of the HEC configuration... Even reading from unit is dangerous and you can't have a backup of that before reading it...

If the battery reset doesn't work I guess the only option will be a Ford dealer to update your HEC. Let's hope that a new HEC is not necessary...

I used the latest ElmConfig 0.2.5 on my 2008 Focus 2.0 TDci and I am getting a strange error... I think it is a bug from the software. When I try to read from HEC in the Configuration page 3 (the page that has all the chimes...) I get an error saying that it is strongly recomended to use an USB ELM and that bluetooth modulo can damage the unit. But this page has only several boxes to tick... I click ok to continue and it tried to write something to the HEC unit but it stoped few seconds after started. Everything works fine on HEC. Is this a bug in the software? Shouldn't this page work just like the others?

The only task that I didn't tried yet was the HEC firmware update because my ELM is bluetooth. I am already waiting for a USB one to do the firmware update but I didn't expect that it was also necessary for the page 3 of the HEC configuration... I already used the ElmConfig before but the older version I had didn't have that page 3...
