Anyone have one of these for there 2011 sport?

Contact Torrie @ Unleashed Tuning to get the latest lowdowns on the X4. He is already getting some great results for the SHO and Fusion lineup.

The SCT X3 was a disaster for me and although I see the 2011 Edge listed as tunable I am afraid to try and upload my tunes again. Last time I tried my ECU could not handle the change and could not be restored to stock. No fun!

The X4 didn't work on my 2011 sport. And I spent 3 hours on the phone with Sct support and kept getting a error.

I am returning it for the SF3 3015 which I have seen someone on here use on they're 2011 sport.

I have a custom tune from mpt. They are gonna change the serial for me on the tune.

I will let you know how it works out.

[Cdpratt69]

I'm very interested in what you experience thru this process. I am out so much money and even damaged my relationship with the manager of my Ford dealership over the SCT Tuner and trying to get one loaded up on my 2011 Sport. Anything you can pass on would be of great help. I just don't want to throw even more money at this situation without knowing I'm not going to have ANY of the same experiences as I had back in 2013 when I was trying the original tune. Thanks again for the update.

The X4 didn't work on my 2011 sport. And I spent 3 hours on the phone with Sct support and kept getting a error.

SCT does do a lot of firmware updates. But Support should have apprised you of that. What error were you seeing? And your Edge isn't the latest model, so it should be well established in their database. The most problems I have seen are with the strategy code not being on the list, and a couple with actual hardware failure when these units were first released.

 

Also, if your Edge goes in for service at the dealership, from time to time, they may update ECU programming without your prior knowledge. So ALWAYS return your vehicle to stock tune prior to taking it in, and check the strategy code after you get it back. If the strategy code was updated, the tune needs to be updated prior to loading. (All of which I am presuming you did.)

 

Hope MPT can getcha squared away

I've been looking for a custom tuner that can write a tune for my 2014 Edge Sport. Not really looking for performance gains per se, more for driveability.

I would imagine that there isn't a very big market for these cars

[WWWPerfA_ZN0W]

Torrie @ Unleashed Tuning, or Livernois Motorsports should be able to get you fixed up easy.

[Dancemf]

The error was 110d4 and it would save the stock tune then go to install the mpt and would flip to that error. At first they thought it was the tune but even a stock tune from sct wouldnt go through.

 

I never take my car to dealers other than for recalls.

[WWWPerfA_ZN0W]

Their reps hang out at

http://www.focusst.org

 

looks like a good place to ask questions online.

So i got the SF3 3015 and then another custom tune from mpt for the new serial number. Tune went through fine this time but

when I started the car for the first time I get error code P060A with a yellow wrench on the dash. Idle is all over the place.

 

So email MPT back and they email me back another tune with some different parameters. Still same this P060A.

 

Return to stock and car runs fine no issues. Got a headache yet? I do. lol.

 

Mpt is out of the office till monday so have to wait till then. Don't 90% of the world work on they're cars on the weekend. Shouldn't they have sat hours?

[WWWPerfA_ZN0W]

Hope they can get it straightened out for you. Torrie is 24/7 (crazy guy) practically, don't know how he does it. Do you have any mods on your Edge that might need to be accounted for in the tune?

 

BTW, you are SURE they used the right strategy code? Worst case, PCM might need replacement.

 

From the FSM for 2007:

 

P060A - Internal Control Module Monitoring Processor Performance

Description: Indicates an error occurred in the powertrain control module (PCM). This DTC is set in combination with P2105.

Possible Causes:

• Software incompatibility issue
• Damaged PCM

Diagnostic Aids: Verify the PCM is at the latest calibration level.

Application All

Continuous Memory GO to Pinpoint Test QE

 

QE18 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION

• Disconnect all the PCM connectors.
• Visually inspect for:
  • pushed out pins
  • corrosion
• Connect all the PCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
• Carry out the PCM self-test and verify the concern is still present.

Its C not a sorry so P060C

 

They are both pcm issues. But the stock tune runs fine. If i needed a new pcm wouldnt the stck tune have a issue also?

Edited March 28, 2015 by Dancemf

[WWWPerfA_ZN0W]

Apparently, it's not a "fatal" error for the stock tune to have this particular category of code, so the vehicle can continue to run fine. Diagnosis is the same. Update calibration, check PCM wiring/connections. If code still present, replace PCM.

 

So most likely, MPT is not using the correct strategy code, or the PCM was updated after the last time you pulled the code to give to the tuner.

Ended up getting in touch with Torrie @ unleashed tuning and he is awesome. Answers emails fast and jumps to help.

 

He sent me a stock tune that went in fine but the first custom I got the wrench again same as mpt but the modified tune he sent me I did not. Something to do with subsets.

 

I am tuned up now with a modified tune and he is gonna keep building that up in steps but already my throttle response is night and day.

 

Mpt need better hours.

[WWWPerfA_ZN0W]

Nice! Torrie is one of a kind when it comes to tuning & customer response

Hi all , Just wanted to tell a good story here. It's going to be a little long. I have a 2014 EDGE Sport that I wanted to program with a custom tune. I called Steeda.ca for their service which I had used before in the past on a 08 EDGE. Service was good then and so was the tune. I told them at Steeda that there was no program available from SCT for the 2014 EDGE at this time. They in turn said no problem we can do it here. I said great ,and ordered a tune, with them knowing I was using a X3 and them knowing that the X3 would not work on the newer EDGE's. It took a week to get a tune from them, even after I emailed the Guy from Steeda .ca that had done a tune for me before to find out what was wrong and why it was taking so long. He didn't even know that I had ordered a tune. So he gets me a tune and needless to say this did not work and all the X3 would tell me was, it cannot unlock vehicle. So I call SCT and they tell me that the X3 is outdated for 2014 EDGE and that I needed to get a X4. So I call Steeda back again, I should have known by now something was not right. Told them that the tune I got for the X3 from them would not work and that I would need a X4. They said they would refund my money on the first tune that I got from them, if I order the X4 with their tunes in it, from them. I said sounds good ,and ordered away. The X4 came pretty fast, 3 days to my house. That's good to where I live. So tuning a way I went. Tried many times, but it just would not unlock the vehicle. So I call steeda and tell them it will not work. They say update the X4, so I did 282 updates, back out to try again, but still no go. Get error 110BE cannot unlock vehicle, happens every time. This is about 3.00am. Steeda tells me they will call SCT and see what is wrong and to call them back in hour, so in the mean time I email someone, that some on here already know Mike Rogers from SCT know as Blivit on here . Great guy!. He went out of his way to try and help me solve this problem. asked me to send him the tune off the X4 that came from steeda so I did. Said he would look it over in the morning. Now I start reading on here, which I should have done first before I ordered anything from steexda.ca. and Torrie from unleashed tuning was being spoke of. Smart man. I email him to see if the 14 EDGE could be unlocked and tuned. He emails me in about 3 minutes after I send him a email and confirms that it can be tuned and that he has done some in the past already. I call steeda back after a hour to see what they have to say and they tell me to call them back tomorrow noon time. He can't get anyone from SCT to help him right now. So I email Mike and Torrie talking to them about what may be the problem because I'm getting no support from Steeda.ca , and they are trying to help me out with trying to trouble shot the problem. This goes on till 10.00pm at night ,(who does this for a guy that is car crazy and just wants more out of his EDGE), these guys did , Great guys wish I knew them personally . Now here's where it gets good, turns out the tune that Mike Rogers was going over in his time early in the morning , I would say 6.30am , was for a 95 Ford Ranger. 1995 -2014. I'm laughing as I write this, cause it is hard to believe. And the PCM code was even wrong. Mike tells me I need steeda to get a new tune emailed to me for my EDGE and to get the 7 digit strategy code out of my vehicle with the X4, So I did. I call steeda at noon time and ask them if they have any information from SCT that can help us. They say, not yet don't know how long it will take. I tell them that I have been corresponding with Mike Rogers From SCT and I sent him the tune that they gave me with the X4, and that the tune you put in the X4 is for a 95Ranger. I say (What's that all about?) I don't think they liked that. I gave them the strategy code and asked them to build me a tune around that code. They told me to hang on they would check the code. Came back with, your EDGE is a real 2014 Sport made in 07/14 and cannot be tuned. That code does not exist. Said they called SCT and they said it cannot be tuned, SCT has not cracked the code yet on the 14 and that it cannot be done. I told Steeda that I had been communicating with Unleashed tuning and that Torrie said he has already done a bunch. They said no way, not the 2014 he has not done them yet. It can't be done. Well I'm tuned needless to say ,cost me a little more because of my stupidity, but money well spent. Torrie is the guy that can get the job done. As already said on here, if you want more out of your EDGE he is the guy to deal with. Had me two tunes in less than 10 minutes. Both these guys helped me a lot , and went out of their way to help me through the whole ordeal for two days, really makes me feel proud knowing this, cause without them I would have been out a lot of money for nothing. I can only hope someone else learns from this and does not make the mistake I did. This has been quite an experience and that I have learned a good lesson here, that the US are far more advanced in technology than Canada, and that I will always read here before I make a spare of the moment decision concerning my EDGE. Thanks for reading.
