ELMconfig USB device 500kbit/s ELM327 compatible interface with MS-CAN switch for Forscan FoCCCus OBD2 diagnostics …

Product Information

Do read these forums and guides first for any problems, particularly in setting up the program and modifying the interface. I will try to help with questions for Kuga people here on this forum but I am no expert. I have used this program on my Kuga and it worked for me and I simply wish to share my experience with you folks. This program (EMLConfig) will allow you to modify ECU features, to activate or de-activate options which were only accessible by putting your car into the local Ford dealership. ELMConfig is a piece of software written by Russian enthusiast Sergey, known as civil-zz. It started life with an application called FF2, which allowed you to alter modules in a, surprisingly, Ford Focus Mk2. ELMConfig was written along-side, but soon did everything FF2 did and more. FF2 was retired, ELMConfig took over, was enhanced, and added functionality to work with more versions of modules. The software was then translated into English. You can thank Sergey for his hard work by making a donationto him. Basics

While the Car Scanner ELM ODB2 is still in Beta version as I speak, it managed to work very well in our Windows laptop and smartphone. We were able to diagnose the OBD2 fault codes and read the sensor data in our fleet of test vehicles without encountering unusual errors. Do not change any options with RCM airbag module unless you know what you are doing""¦. Lets not switch any airbags off eh? At the moment the ForScan software with extended licence (which can be obtained for free) is the best software solution for the Focus MK3.5. for me upload / save / write buttons are all named wrongly which is most of the confusion. If it had "Save to PC" and "Write to vehicle" it would make MUCH more sense

Conclusion

The type of ELM327 software will all depend on the make and model of your vehicle. The ELM327 microchip is primarily designed to work with modern vehicles that utilize the CAN OBD2 protocol (ISO 15765-4). However, the chip is also compatible with the following OBD2 protocols:

You cannot read and erase error codes with this software. It does mostly same stuff as ELMconfig but has a different selection of vehicles. Do not use this software if you are not sure what you are doing. Hook up the ELM327 OBD2 scanner or Bluetooth interface in the OBD2 port of your vehicle. All car models after 1997 are required to have the OBD2 port. If you are using a USB scanner, simply connect the USB interface to your laptop. Disclaimer: You use this guide at your own risk.

What i will attempt to do is a guide for the FF2 (russian program) which will allow you to plug in a ELM 327 interface code reader into your focus Mk2 / Mk2.5 and update various parts of your car.

The FoCCCus software is originally developed for the Focus MK3. The original developer of the FoCCCus software stopped developing the software any further about 3 Years ago.

you shouldn't attempt any of this this without some form of electrical support... (reading about voltage stabilisers yesterday and they are saying up to 120 amps these days), I guess that means you never need to worry if you left the on the lights, fan or radio during a 3 hr programming session Here are a set of instructions that I wrote for someone else (possibly @wilto )that was having difficulty with the PCM: Solder pin 6 (which you just de-soldered) to the middle pin on your switch (middle bottom in diagram)

Please note, if you’re looking for OBD2 software for Windows Laptop/PC, these will not work. You’ll need to look into some software like PCMScan or AutoEnginuity if you want to use a USB ELM327 with your laptop. ELMConfig can't open a connection to the adapter at all, no matter which mode or laptop I try (Yes, FORScan is closed when I try to use ELMConfig). In all cases, it pops up an error saying "Correct response from adapter timed." Usually, the request and response are both empty, as in this screenshot I took:Also the reading of the PCM is a hell of a lot slower than last time (took just 15 mins previously) now only on 3500 of 16384 after about 20 minutes, so fingers crossed it will work this time.
