Clint in Kan Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Has anyone had success reprogramming and re-initializing a new, OEM BCM with Forscan? If so, any tips you’d be kindly willing to share? thanks, Clint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 (edited) Welcome to the forum @Clint in Kan! What is the model year? At this time, FORScan can only initialize an Edge BCM (experimental!) up to MY2020 of the Edge. You will need 2 working key fobs. What is the reason of replacing the BCM? Some problems may be solved by inspecting the BCM connectors for corrosion. Edited March 26 by Wubster100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint in Kan Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 It’s a 2015. Symptoms include power trunk hatch only partially opening and then closing (nothing preventing movement), instrument cluster staying lit when power off, park lights staying lit when power off. These all just randomly happened yesterday. I disconnected battery negative for 30 mins but that didn’t help. Going to run a scan for DTC on Friday. Because multiple simultaneous random issues, that led me to think BCM but still haven’t finished diagnosis. I was just prepping for worst case to figure out what I might need because some parts need time to be ordered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint in Kan Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 I’m sure I did when I registered and just checked - it is there. Does is not appear for you? Perhaps there is something more I need to do to make it visible if you can’t see it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite likely you added it to your profile in the correct location, BUT the forum has a long outstanding issue with that not displaying, hence the request to add it to your signature.

Haz Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Welcome @Clint in Kan! Have you had the battery load-tested to ensure it is not failing or in a failed state? Per the Workshop Manual section attached below as a PDF document, while our vehicles employ load shedding strategies to conserve power during reduced battery state-of-charge conditions, a failing or failed battery can cause modules and their related components to behave in unexpected ways. Given that the symptoms you describe materialized in a single day, particularly involving the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), you may want to have the battery tested, even if it has been replaced within the last few months. Good luck! Charging System - 2.0L EcoBoost - System Operation and Component Description - 2015 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint in Kan Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 @Haz Thanks kindly! I will check out the battery. I also updated Signature with vehicle spec - 2015 Edge Titanium 3.5L. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint in Kan Posted 23 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 23 hours ago UPDATE: 1. No DTC's found 2. Brand new battery installed - no change 3. Lights staying on was a red herring, they do eventually turn off 4. Besides the power trunk not operating properly (opens approx 1 foot then closes), the vehicle appears to be operating fine Any thoughts on next things to rule out? I thought I read somewhere that there is a trunk control module? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread that @Wubster100 posted addresses the open position height adjustment, but yours is behaving as if there's an obstruction and that triggers it to drive closed. See if you can move the tailgate further open by hand. On the last page of that thread is the reset that worked for my height adjustment using FORScan - worth trying that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint in Kan Posted 22 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Thank you for the quick response! I purused @Wubster100 post and will try some of the things they did. Also found a post by @Remis that appears to be having same problem - @Haz posted a comprehensive response. I think I'll brew a pot of coffee and work through the posts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
