Line Lock Enabled On Non-GT!!

[TigerFire13]

TLDR;
Find a safe place to test your abs functionality, and do so. Observe how it reacts, and if it does so as expected, or otherwise.

There are 3 levels of front brakes on the S550 mustangs:
Small: EcoBoost / V6
Medium: EcoBoost w/ Performance Pack / GT
Large: GT w/ Performance Pack

EcoBoost's, V6's, and GT's all have different weights, and weight distribution.

I would think the ABS module uses the Strategy to know at least what size front brakes are being used, and possibly the weight/balance.

I theorize that if you tell your ABS module it is connected to a non-performance pack GT (meduim front brakes), while in fact it is connected to a non-performance pack EcoBoost or V6 (small front brakes), the ABS module may not apply as much force to the front brakes of your car as they are capable of handling, and you may not slow down as quickly. This may be incorrect, because the ABS system isn't supposed to engage UNTIL it detects a locked-up (or significantly slower) wheel.

I'd like to think since I have the same brakes as a normal GT, this is why my brakes felt the same while autocrossing.

Also keep in mind, we do not know if the files that we are flashing are from a normal GT (medium front brakes), or a performance pack GT (large front brakes).

Stick with the car during the update process. Part way through the process the car thinks its been on accessory power mode for too long, and will warn you that it will turn off shortly if you don't press ok and override it.
If you miss it, and the car powers off, and forscan fails, don't fret. You can start the process over again.

Yeah, it will gladly let you know things aren't matching up, until the whole process is complete. Just make sure you use the AS-BUILT codes appropriate for your car, and you won't have issues. Since your 760-02-01 line is "2111 3111 00DE", make sure you use "2113 3111 00E0" after the flashing is complete, and not "2113 3111 A080".

If they bothered to look, they could probably tell. Once you've completed this procedure, even Forscan will tell you things don't quite match up to what a stock module should be. Will they look? no idea. Will it be a problem if they do? no idea. You can always go back to stock, just keep those codes and version names of your stock setup in a safe place.

my car just shut off, it didnt give me a choice, it said start up, or turn off and was counting down. i turned off. fuk.

should i turn it on next time?? gotta start all over again. its 11.9v so im letting car charge up for a few minutes. i hitok and it kept counting down. but this time il start it faster.

You should not start the engine... On the dash display, try going to driver assist, and unchecking "auto engine off". Mine still tried to power down even while unchecked, but maybe then it will at least ask you?

 

[FreedomPenguin]

Mine is unchecked. It just shut me down.

I don’t like just hurried up and redid again

 

[FreedomPenguin]

I just checked it on, that way maybe it will ask me.

Car is 12.5v this time starting, that’s probably a better thing.

Just used 2nd car and have them jumped together

12.5 it dropped to 12.0 not risking another shut off. I hope you’re right, I really like my handling at moment, hope doesn’t change the braking characyetics of the car, especially me having small brakes

 

[FreedomPenguin]

Loaded the files, programmed the two option boxes, enabled it in ipc

 

[TigerFire13]

Are there any DTC's set when you check with forscan?

 

[FreedomPenguin]

Going home to hook it up.

Everything else works, cruise, modes, brakes etc nothing feels off. Just won’t initiate that line lock after I hold brake goes to error at the 15 sec timer

Did I done ruin my car? :| View attachment 382187 View attachment 382188

Sometimes voltage drops can trigger various codes throughout the system like that, usually communication related. I'd say clear the codes with the engine off, power cycle when it asks, and then lets see what we are dealing with.

 

[FreedomPenguin]

Looks clean but linelock still won’t work, there is this one dtc. What does it mean?

 

[FreedomPenguin]

that one seems to be permenant, i just did it again. I dont know if it was there before i did this flash or not though.

Think its related to not being able to use linelock though? it says APIM idk what is related to that what we did.

 

[TigerFire13]

Your Sync3 system is complaining about an AS-BUILT code entry that isn't valid... Have you changed any options in the APIM with forscan? Either today, or before?

 

[FreedomPenguin]

Found it, i have NAV enabled on my apim now. fixing those codes, the gt must of had nav that i flashed off of. no biggie, got to look up the code. but that wouldnt make mjy linelock not work though?


edit nvm, that was just mjy iphoen maps up, not nav. false. the only thing i changed was my turn signal blinks from 3 to 5, 6 to B i changed. going to reset it back to 3

According to ford's instructional video on line lock, to engage it, your car must be:
1. Travelling less than 25mph. (Whod've thunk lol)
2. On a level surface. (not sure how picky it is?)
3. "not in another driving mode". (I imagine it means normal mode, with traction control on?)

If these are all met, I'm temporarily stumped.
