Yes. The top picture is what I have. Any experience doing so yourself? What kind of program has to be done? Assuming only Ford can do the program?

Are we certain this would work? If so, what hardware is required?

If it were me, I would use a third party software, FORScan, to reprogram the ABS module.

FJDS provides module reprogramming software that covers 1996 to select 2018 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury module reprogramming functions, plus complete dealership level diagnostic software for all 2018 to present Ford and Lincoln vehicles. FJDS is designed for use with J2534 compatible Vehicle Communications Interfaces (VCI) including Ford diagnostic hardware (VCM II, or VCMM). The FJDS software license includes time based access to the FJDS software, software updates and calibration files. The following vehicles are supported by FDRS 2018+ Expediion/Navigator 2018+ Ecosport 2019+ Ranger 2020+ Transit 2019+ Transit Connect 2020+ Explorer/Aviator 2020+ Super Duty 2020+ Escape/Corsair 2021+ F-150 2021+ Edge/Nautilus 2021+ Mach-E All other vehicles are supported by IDS/FJDS

Welcome to the forum @kcrews10! It is possible to install a SYNC 3 system and heated seats. I would assume that you have the small 4.2" screen. However, it is not plug and play. Programming is required for both the radio upgrade and heated seats.

Welcome to the forum @Mbry2024! I never bothered to get new clips, so the seat cushion is still a bit loose. Have you tried looking at your cushion locking tabs / clips? Do you still have a warranty left on your 2023?

It isn't the PCM taking out the coils, it is the plugs and/or coils that destroy the drivers on the PCM. If the plugs are worn out, if a coil fails in certain ways, it destroys the driver circuit on the board. There are companies such as circuitboardmedics that take in your PCM and fix them for $300 + 425 for 6 coils and spark plugs (which extends the warranty period on the PCM). Not cheap, but not $2450.

missed quoting specific post replying to, but I can't delete this.

When the coils are damaged (toasted or melted) it is probably due to a computer malfunction. Don’t expect to just replace the coils as if you don’t replace the computer it can / will most likely fry the new coils again. The way Ford makes this vehicle really requires that you have them change the coils due to having to take off the manifold/intake just to get to the those coils , then they can recheck the computer first to make sure it’s still operable before you blow our the new coils. Cost for that including a diagnostic check {$175 currently as of 12-3-24) and another $1400.00 for replacing the computer and $125 per coils x 6 or about $2450 for repairing a simple tune up. What an outrageous charge ! Sonora Ford didn’t want to read Rocky’s auto shop here in Twain Harte, CA or listen to what I explained the prior diagnostics (by Dan owner of Rocky’s) explained to me that I explained to them, so Sonora Ford changed all coils without testing the computer functionality, which ended frying one coil so far out of 6, which Ford called us afterwards saying that they would now have to replace the computer { an extra $1400 charge plus labor. - that they were not aware of ?…and they’re the experts. So much for diagnostics, which they apparently hadn’t read prior to doing their own diagnostic. Car has 135K mileage ..apparently these computers can be repaired which is less expensive ( and probably a lengthy process …so buy new). But I’ve found throughout my life that Men in general pay no attention to what a WOMAN says, so they blew me off completely by disregarding the computer issue. Oh well what’s a woman to do.. I really do like the Ford Edge and with new car prices being so outrageously expensive for a new one I have no choice.. but would hope that they’d at least not charge me for their diagnostic report that should have indicated a computer malfunction up front.

It turned out to be something very silly on my part. The connector backed out from vibration because I did not lock it properly. After clearing the codes no more check engine light even after 126 miles of drive.

How about these??? Fairly common parts. https://www.oreillyauto.com/shop/b/chassis---steering/coil---leaf-springs/coil-spring-isolators-dampeners--universal-/4588413f406e

Just bought a 2017 Edge; was too good of a deal to pass up... That being said it is missing some options that I would liked to have and I am considering buying salvage parts to make those Wishlist items a reality. I would love to put in a Sync Touch screen w/ climate control. Then add a pair of seats with the heater. My question is will all this be able to plug & play? or am i just SOL on this pipe dream. TIA!

And a final revelation; it looks like the “select” term applies to 2018+ models only. So I guess my question is can I use FJDS to program my new 2013 ABS module? Thanks

Rehabbing the suspension on a 2013 SEL, and am hitting a wall replacing a couple of fairly simple looking parts - the rubber rings (coil spring insulators) that sit above and below the rear coils. Nothing on RockAuto or Amazon, and my trusted local Ford shop had no clues where to find them either. Anyone else tried to replace these lately? I've been able to find every other element in the rear suspension assembly except for these two parts. Part names and codes are: 7T4Z5536AA (Upper rear coil spring insulator / spacer) 7T4Z5793AA (Upper rear coil spring insulator / spacer) Diagrams attached

Know there has to be a few posts on this subject but cant find them, help would be appreciated. Thanks

Yep! The Cats will definitely be affected. “No actual cats were harmed in the production of this post”

Ok I’ve found this: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/diagnostic/Support?channelId=46&categoryId=286 Which says that the FJDS should be able to program modules but it uses the terminology “SELECT” vehicles which makes me nervous. Would love to hear from someone who knows. Thanks!

This recall certainly begs the question of how many have, or will have, to have their cats. replaced as a result of this issue?

The second part of that humanized here is a cookie you did it conversion of small steps in the owners manual is the using the learning mode from the openers motor and not the remote. I had success using that method without access to the garage door remote.

I've tried that and it didn't work - the below method is what worked on my wife's deceased Mustang, her BMW X5 and my Edge Sport. That is with the my Chamberlain 1-1/4 HP LED Video Quiet Belt Drive and previous model opener - maybe the method you described works with other door openers?

Yes one may program the "Homelink" to the opener w/o the remote. Put the garage door into learning mode then do the learning mode for the "Homelink".

Hello. I have a 2013 Edge Limited AWD and I’m going to replace the ABS module due to the sticky bypass valve issue. I understand I will need to program it, and that the traditional way to do that is with a VCM and Ford IDS. It would seem however that VCM units are all but unavailable. I can find plenty of info that J2534 with FRDS will work for 2018+, and some info that J2534 with FJDS will communicate with the older units like mine, but no confirmation that I would be able to use J2534 to program the new ABS/HCU module. I have the engine/trans assy out currently due to water pump and other maintenance, I figure I’ll change out the brake system items (hcu, booster) while I’m here. Can someone point me to a scan tool I should buy to do this? Will FJDS and a unit such as the Mongoose Plus or the CarDAQ Plus-3 program my new unit? Thanks

I pinned it so you do t have to keep bumping it

Welcome. I don't believe that's possible. The only option would be to buy a new remote, pair that with the garage door opener, then use it to teach the Homelink visor. Chamberlain 953EV-P2 3-Button Garage Door Remote Control

Can you program the Homelink visor button for a garage door opener if you don't have the garage door remote? My dad lost his remote that was paired with is old Edge.
