mayak Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 to activate cruise control in Bosch PCM you don;t need to write whole firmware - just read VID-block, tick integrated-something and then write VID-block that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubber Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 to activate cruise control in Bosch PCM you don;t need to write whole firmware - just read VID-block, tick integrated-something and then all There's no option to "read VID-BLOCK" in elm config. The only option is to "Read the firmware from PCM to BIN file" and "Load firmware from PHF/BIN file". I have done both of these (also ticked integrated speed control), when it finishes writing it comes up with an error that says invalid request (or something similar) . I'll try it again when I get home and put up a screen shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayak Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 in version 11, read/write (separate write of vid-block works only for 1.6tdci) of vid-block is in configuration!!!!!!! 1. PCM -> Configuration -> Read from PCM 2. save to file (as a back up) 3. tick 'Integrated Speed Control' 4. PCM -> Configuration -> Write to PCM 5. done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM -> Configuration -> Write to PCM 5. done I have done this and get the "Writing VID-block completed" confirmation Cruise still doesn't work. The car can detect the buttons as they all play a sound when I use the rear heater switch "trick" For some reason I can't add pictures so I can't upload the screenshot of ELMconfig I'm pressing ON the + to activate cruise on the steering wheel buttons. Is there a minimum speed before cruise works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubber Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 The software number on my PCM is 10/10/2007 Under firmware number it says N/A Would a PCM update help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayak Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I have done this and get the "Writing VID-block completed" confirmation Cruise still doesn't work. read vid-block again and check if 'Integrated Speed Control' is selected there The car can detect the buttons as they all play a sound when I use the rear heater switch "trick" Beeps in GEM disgnostic mode ("the rear heater switch trick") is when you enable cruise in gem + hec and gem supports cruise (some low spec preFL GEMs don't support cruise at all), so it's ok I'm pressing ON the + to activate cruise on the steering wheel buttons. Is there a minimum speed before cruise works? press 'on' after starting the engine and press '+' above 50km/h speed (minimum spped for cruise is 45 or 50 km/h) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try again with pressing 'on' after engine start. I have a light on my dash for cruise control (I checked it with led test 'trick'). The light does not light up when pressing the 'on' button.

mayak Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 'on' makes cruise to be in kind of stand-by mode and no any light in FF2 '+' gives the light on a dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried at 50mph. Cruise is enabled in GEM, HEC and PCM. I have all the pedal switches and wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayak Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 but you have ST (thought you have 1.6 tdci) - AFAIK FF2 ST never had cruise factory-fitted, so maybe your PCM can't keep steady speed and just ignore 'integrated speed control' Does anyone have FF2 ST with cruise?

Correct, ST/RS did not have factory cruise control, nor was it an option. Maybe you are right, PCM may not support cruise. I don't know anyone that has cruise control on their ST. I am not giving up yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Cruise control was never an option on the Focus MK2/MK2.5 ST. Possibly the PCM firmware of the ST does not even support cruise control. As far as I know the Kuga 2.5T uses the same type of PCM as the Focus ST (the Mondeo MK4 and S-max/Galaxy 2.5T uses a different type of PCM). On the Kuga 2.5T cruise control was available. Because the Kuga has less BHP compared to the Focus the firmware will most likely be different. If the Focus firmware does not support cruise control and the 2.5 Focus and Kuga engines are completely the same it could be an option to configure the Focus PCM as a Kuga PCM and load the Kuga firmware. The cruise control speed setting can be activated above approximately 40 KM/H. On lower speeds hitting the cruise control buttons has no effect.

clubber Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I thought about doing that but didn't try it in the end. I will try it when I get a chance. I'm at the stage where I'll try anything lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotAction Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have a question, is it possible to update the PCM of an Kuga 2.0 TDCI from the 140PS version to the 163PS version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
