Car model and year: 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2lt, it's flooded car.

It's a flooded car.

I put in a new bcm, I installed all new modules inside the car, for the most part.

 

Purpose:

To replace the seat memory modules (k40) on both my passenger and drivers seat with new ones from GM. New part numbers are 13517130 and 13517131.

 

And I want to program the seat memory modules with SPS.

 

Problem:

Couldn't program the seat memory modules with SPS, any other module in the car can be programmed successfully.

but it does show my VIN and the module part number.

 

If I go to GDS2 to do trouble shooting it will not read any DTC's.

 

Here was what I got in GDS2 when I try to read the DTC's, get the control module status and try to command an operation of moving the seat.

 

This is what I get when it errors out:

 

Suggestions:

@Dale002 advise: 

Wow that's unreal. I called ACDelco and they told me since my car is a salvage car that they won't help me as they don't know the condition of my car. They advise for me to take it to a dealer. What a rip off. I re flashed all my modules for the exception of the ebcm and seat module as both have the same issue. One thing to keep in mind is that there may be other components that may not work correctly if they require input from these modules. Greed run rampage at GM!

 

Yesterday, I was able to re flashed drivers module but the passenger is still un programmable.

 

@ n_brio advised:

Can be the harness that is corroded thats why i changed all. mine was green in some connections.

 

The end...

Finally was successfully able to program both passenger and driver seat memory modules. Not sure if it was a factor but I had the seat side connectors, the connector that goes the the seat motors, disconnected and had the car in the accessory position.

 

I wish I had more details as to why it worked but I have no clue why it did. Really the only thing I did different was unplug everything from the module except the connector that provides power and CAN signal, I think my CAN signal was on separate connector so I had 2 connectors plugged into the module. I also only put in ACC mode, just 1 press on start button (did not hold to put in RUN mode).
Hopefully you can get it to work.

Car model and year: 2015 Ford F550

 

Purpose:

I replaced the calipers/pads/rotors on all 4 wheels and tried to bleed the system (didn't go so well).

Front brakes seems to work fine -- press on the pedal, pads squeeze.

Rear brakes aren't getting any brake fluid.

Disconnected the brake line before the splitter on the rear axle -- no brake fluid comes out when stepping on brake.

I thought maybe the line was clogged or broken (nothing dripping). Disconnected the rear brake line as it comes out of the ABS controller and blew it clear (seems okay).

Stepped on the brake pedal and fluid comes out of the port on the abs (not very high pressure, but comes out).

Reconnected the line at the ABS block and still no fluid comes out at the rear of the line before it connects to the splitter.

Disconnected the output of the brake master cylinder and pressed on the brake pedal and plenty of pressure there.

 

Using experience:

1. Forscan + ELM32/ODB2 USB cable: failed

To bleed the system you need to have a laptop, Forscan and an ODB2 cable. This will allow you to open the ABS valves for the front and rear to get rid of any trapped air. The idea is to have the ABS system open when you are bleeding it.

 

I ordered an ELM32/ODB2 USB cable and downloaded Forscan

 

2. Ford VCM2: Confirmed

Distinguished Diesel has given you the correct information. I'm also certain there are no service procedures available in ForScan to ABS bleed the brakes on your 2015. Many have asked ForScan for this functionality to be added for the 11-16 super duties but they have not implemented it yet.

There are other tools such as Autel MaxiCheck Pro that have this functionality or alternatively you can take it to a shop which has IDS or the new VCM2 Ford tools to do the service bleed. I have a Motive Products pressure bleeder that attaches to the master cylinder which has been great for my needs.

 

Advice:

Blowing compressed air into an ABS unit is not something I would ever do, the unit can handle over 2,000psi, but the air is the enemy.

Once vehicles had three or four-channel ABS, Superdutys MY2000, there was no need to incorporate any manual proportioning valve. The proportioning of the rear brakes is done dynamically when the ABS cannot control the wheel skid effectively, which is a minor incidence. Rather than repetitively opening and closing the valving, dumping pressure into the accumulator and reapplying pressure with the pump, it just dumps and holds a reduced amount. There is no special valving for reduced pressure in the sense of the older proportioning valves, pre MY2000.

Any air in an ABS unit can be a devil to get out. If the air has filled the accumulator and surrounds the valves, it can exceed the volume capability of a single pedal to floor pump, releasing the brake pedal just pulls the fluid back into the master, creating a never-ending story. It's usually just bad if you have done a multi-caliper brake job and let the master cylinder reservoir drain, and can take the specialized software to get the ABS to become active, or the very long process of bleeding as best as one can, causing low-speed wheel skids on dirt, then re-bleeding over and over to fully clear the brake hydraulics over several hours. Blowing air into the ABS becomes medieval.

Pulling the fuse is the equivalent of the key-off. It does nothing.

Click here for VMS Manual

 

After Installing: Diagnostic Software Updates will pop up on Mondays and Thursdays when available.

 

1. VCI firmware what's new - contain details on this new software.

IMPORTANT: Changes to VCM II and VCMM

VCM II & VCMM Device Software (“VCI Software”)

VCI Software

• Previously, installing IDS or FDRS would install everything that is needed in order to use a VCM II/VCMM with any of the Ford diagnostic software (IDS, FDRS & VMS). There is now a new package separate from
• IDS and FDRS, called VCI Software.
• This VCI Software package WILL NEED to be downloaded in order to use your VCM II or VCMM, regardless of whether this is the first time you have downloaded IDS/FDRS.
• This will improve download and installation time, as previously you were downloading and installing these components with BOTH IDS and FDRS.
• You WILL NOT need to download and install this package every release, only when there is an update to the loaded code on the device.

 

VCI Launcher

When launching the VCI Manager, you will be prompted to select which device (VCM II or VCMM) you intend to use.

Only the devices of the selected type will appear in the VCI Manager. If you wish to switch device type, you will have to close the VCI Manager and select the other device.

Note: If the device is already connected via USB, you will bypass the selection screen.

Figure 2: The main screen of the VCI Launcher

 

Figure 3: A side-by-side comparison showing the VCM II Manger and the VCMM Manager

 

Changes to IDS

• IDS now requires you to select your device type at the launch of IDS.
•  If you wish to switch devices while in IDS, you need to navigate to what was previously the Wireless device manager (the green arrows in the upper right hand corner), select the button at the bottom left which says “VCI Type” and select which device you wish to use. You can do this at any time while in the IDS tool.
•  Note: It is recommended if you previously pinned IDS to the task bar, that you unpin it in R115, and then re-pin it while on the device selection screen.

Figure 5: The new device manager screen. Note the icon in the top right, the VCI Type button in the bottom left, and the VCI Launcher selection window.

 

VCI Software Uninstaller

• There is now a new component included in the VCI Software package called VCI Software Uninstaller.
• This gives you the ability to uninstall all Ford Diagnostic components (IDS, FDRS, VMS, CFR, and VCI Software) from one central location, rather than having to uninstall each component individually.
• This uninstaller can be accessed by going to StartFord Motor CompanyVCI Software Uninstaller. After following the prompts, you can select which software applications you wish to uninstall.
• Note: If you are removing all components, it is recommended you select “Remove Uninstaller Data” to remove successfully all Ford components from the PC.
