Version 1.4.7 adds a new module, 100, “Ford SID212/SID212EVO ECU,” to the bootloader. This module is designed for use with the SID212/SID212EVO ECU installed in Ford vehicles with 2.0L diesel engines via the diagnostic connector and on the bench. Reading, writing, checking, and correcting checksums are supported.

Composition:
Ford Transit: 2.0L diesel (SID212/SID212EVO) [Thu/ZP/KS]
Ford Focus 4: 2.0L diesel (SID212/SID212EVO) [Thu/ZP/KS]
Ford Kuga 3: 2.0L diesel (SID212/SID212EVO) [Thu/ZP/KS]
Ford Mondeo 5: 2.0L diesel (SID212/SID212EVO) [Thu/ZP/KS]

Connection on the table: the connection diagram is available in downloads A 12V power supply with a current of at least 3A is required (5A is recommended, as the starting current is high).

Operating procedure:
1) Identification, reading errors – everything is standard when working with any ECU
2) Initialization, usually required once to prepare the ECU for reading/writing, takes from 10 seconds to 3 minutes
3) Reading (the entire software is read; if it is stock, it can be used to “restore” the ECU). The operation is non-destructive, the contents of the ECU are not changed, 4-5 minutes.
4) Writing the modified file (in normal mode, only the calibration area is written) takes about 2 minutes. The program is not afraid of interruptions, but there are some nuances (see below). In case of an interruption, try writing again.

12:30:07 Entering programming mode
12:30:07 Transferring bootloader
12:30:16 Checking
12:30:17 Erasing
12:30:23 Transferring data
12:31:46 Completed successfully

VBF files can be written (can be used to restore the ECU).

Recovery mode: If the ECU writing process fails and the file cannot be written in normal mode, enable recovery mode in the program settings. In this mode, you must use a stock file (the file read from the ECU may not be the same, in which case you will receive an error at the Software Validation stage). The program will prompt you to choose what to write. If you haven’t modified the software, then simply select calibration. After “restoring” the ECU, don’t forget to disable this mode! There are some nuances with “unlocked” ECUs, see below.

“Unlocked” ECUs:
In fact, they may not be, but experience shows the following:
1) AutoTuner – actually unlocks the ECU and can write anything, but it changes the certificates of the written software, apparently to identify the “unlocked” status. These are workable; the bootloader does not issue warnings.
2) Kess3 and Flex – in reality, they don’t unlock the ECU, but rather lock it for themselves. Writing factory files (VBF, stock) becomes impossible. They also change the RSA key and certificates. When reading such ECUs, the program will report this lock. Working with such ECUs is a last resort, as recovery may be tricky.

Example output when reading a block locked by Kess3 and Flex:

12:24:20 Entering programming mode
12:24:20 Transferring bootloader
12:24:30 Checking
12:24:31 ATTENTION: This ECU is protected by a non-standard RSA key! Reprogramming is dangerous!
12:24:31 Reading data
12:28:26 Completed successfully

Note: If there’s no start after reading or writing, the ECU in the car is likely out of sync. In this case, the following may help: 1) Disconnect the battery terminal for 30 seconds; 2) Arm the car with the factory key fob and let it sit for 3 minutes to “sleep.” Of course, the failure to start may also be due to issues with the modified file; this can be resolved by writing the stock file.
