Roush tune blocking recall?

[DrewT]

My local Ford dealer said they couldn’t install the brake fluid warning update from the recent recall because of the Roush tune that came with the super charger. Is this true? Does Roush need to incorporate this recall into their tune?

Can you flash back to stock tune?

Have dealer pull car into bay, flash stock tune, have dealer flash recall, then re-flash the Roush tune?

Or is Roush a one time flash?

This is a common problem for Roush and Whipple cars. The dealers diagnostic machine identifies that the pcm osid is not stock and they hit a road block. The ford system allows you to manually enter what’s needed but many mechanics don’t know how to do it. Someone at Roush should be able to explain the process to the mechanic.

To perform the recall , the tech just needs to select aftermarket calibration when starting the IDS session. It is easy peasy when someone knows what there doing .

The only thing I had to do is just unplug roush osid and have him plug it directly into car then update then plug roush osid back in and done.

How do you unplug an osid?

It's whatever was plugged into the plug underneath the dash. He juat unplugged it, then upload and plugged it back in. I was not watching him that closely.

I think that’s just the device that reads pedal position and speed to supply the info to the exhaust valve controller, and the aldl is pass-through. The osid is the operating system in the pcm.

He did mention it was a pass thru so that makes sense now. I just reflashed tune when he was done. Just started it and let it run, but didn't drive it. I didn't notice any issues.

I asked the shop manager if I was out of luck on this recall and any future ones. He said to bring the car back because he believed to have found the update procedure. He claims to have now applied the recall update without affecting the Roush tune. I guess I could drain the brake fluid to see if the warning light comes on now .

My solution was to just not have it done. I put tape over the obd2 port with NO! written on it. I have enough sense to know when brake fluid is leaking and I can eyeball the reservoir whenever I check the oil.

Just unplug the connector for the low fluid sensor in the side of the MC reservoir with engine running to check for brake warning lamp to come on. The tech should have done this since it is part of the recall procedure to test the lamp operation.

Yes. The service order says that they verified correct operation of brake warning.
