Modifying As-Built Data Guide

[jbailer]

[MENTION=26415]solodogg[/MENTION] I downloaded my car's As-Built data, which contains all information from before I got tuned. Then I compared the IPC module values on the original As-Built file with my current IPC values (after I got tuned). No difference at all.

Same here with the Ford Performance tune which disables the sound symposer in the ecoboost. There was no change in any of the parameters visible from FORScan. They must change it in the PCM somehow?

Did you compare all modules visible on FORScan? I only visually compared before and after the tune IPC values and found no difference.

Yes, I used the compare tool on the first page and compared all of them. I don't know enough to only check one module. For all I know, it could take changes in 2 places or more.

Then, as you said, this feature should be activated in the PCM somehow...

The sound symposer as-built switch is in the ACM, not the IPC.

ETA: Nevermind, I see you guys are talking about the autotragic gear indicator in the IPC.

Yeah, different issue! Never mind :cheers:

Sorry, that was my bad. I threw a curve with no warning. I just meant that both seem to have been changed in a tune but not reflected in the AB info we can read with FORScan. I guess I'm still holding out a little hope maybe someone can figure out a way to change them in the AB data as well.

NP. If I had an auto, I'd fool around with it and see what I could come up with.

 

[MakStang]

...or maybe we can ask a tuner for help on this! I don't know if they would be willing to share this kind if info, but I think it's worth a try. It would be a supercool thing if we managed to enable it with FORScan or through another way.

OK, in an effort to help decipher the codes, I compared the As-Built data of my car that I downloaded using my VIN with what I have now, after adding an e-Tune from Tune+. I found a few differences (additional blocks) as shown below.

Description: EU spec, Automatic PP EcoBoost, with rear parking sensors and enhanced alarm, e-Tune by Tune+, cp-e DeltaCore FMIC, MBRP Race exhausts.

I added the values my car has in the above quote. Not sure any of these are of importance anywhere, and I'm quite sure the differ maces are due to my US spec car and options differences...but it's worth exploring.

 

[MakStang]

Thanks for comparing. I sent this because I wonder if e-Tune modified any of my car's as built data and, if yes, which ones. Do you mind sharing your car's options? You never know what we may discover.

Also, after posting this, I found out that most of the values in the ACM module are preset radio stations!

 

[solodogg]

My car is an early build US Spec 2015 EB Premium automatic, only option above base Premium package is the spare tire.

I had actually started looking through some of the F150/Fusion spreadsheets to see which of the differences I could identify, and had seen the radio preset differences. I have a feeling most of the differences will be because of the Euro/US spec changes, and that most of your modifications by the tuner were made to the PCM. Unfortunately, at this time we can't write PCM changes using ForScan either :(

Does anyone have any experience modifying the As built data ".ab" file then uploading the revised vile to the module?

I don't know of a way to upload the file to the module. FORScan operates by simply writing to a memory location. I'm not sure what kind of tool could do that or if there is one.
