No problem Jason!
I'm also satisfying my curiosity (why is there air), as I've said before, and hopefully it will help other CEG's once this is in the archives. It's always been my thing to share my findings, not that I'm an expert, but if we all can share, we all (together) can eventually figure out how to troubleshoot better/correctly/etc the next time. It's that team concept thing.
If I understand what your saying that the PCM software has to be modified also along with pin 3? Not surprizing. It wouldn't be much of a secruity if it was toooo simple?
I'm going to give my service manager a call (?????) if it's possible that he has knowledge/software patch to bypass it.
If Superchips can do it, any software "guru" can write a patch it's all about how much$$$. Biggest problem the dealer has is what Ford allows them to do by restricting the info they are given. Getting the correct passwords or knowledge of the software architechture, well lets put this way, I've seen it done many times by telco vendors and it's always been about how much are you willing to pay $$$$ Hi Hi
Let me know how it turns out Jason?
Tnx

The more knowledge I gather the more I realize I don't know!
I'll shut-up now it's a problem when your an YORF. young old retired fart
Ah goood the edit timer hasn't elapsed! Now I know and not to my surprize and security reasons Ford will not tell the dealer how to get around the Pats. HeH if you don't ask
This is why I buy what I buy, the dealer in a small farming community will put up with my strange/frank curiosities!
