ForScan updating APIM calibration files - no firmware update module? Focus RS

Ford Discussion
1

So I’ve run into a couple issues I thought I would see if others have had it as well and see if there were any answers found.

This is on a MY18 Focus RS. I have the latest Forscan (2.3.70) with a 1yr license I purchased to allow (or thought) the ability to update APIM calibration files.

Also have the “vLinker FS v2.3.04 MIC3322 V2.3.04 (ELM327 v2.3)” which was a recommended OBDII on Forscans site.

I possibly may have a few issues which I will get to later after.

  1. IGNORE answer found below in post 3 > First up, has anyone successfully updated their calibration files? If so, then you had the “APIM Module Firmware Update” in the Configuration and Programming menu. Cause I do not and only have the two APIM Module Configuration selections. Haven’t found why I wouldn’t see the update portion.

Should look like this I believe?

2)Second up, do older ForScan work better than the newer? When I first connected a long while ago and downloaded all my module configs I was able to connect to them just fine.

I now can connect to all the modules without issue, with the exception of the two APIM which is getting the “service procedure interrupted”.

If I try a few times to connect to the APIM (as-built) it will eventually connect however it only displays two of the addresses.

I looked at DTC and do not see any errors.

So I’m at my wits end on what to do and can’t seem to find an answer searching…I’m hoping someone may have had a similar issue that they could point me in the right direction. Or is this something to discuss with ForScan Forums?

Quick side note - I did read where everyone says to use v2.4.x, however I have to be blind as I search for that (even used the links folks provided) and no dice.

SMH - I swear this is always how it works….I search and look, read and read, trying to find out where things might be. Give up after long search and post.

While waiting for an answer, I continue to give more time. Low and behold, I finally found a link to DL the v2.4.x.

For the uninitiated and don’t spend the frustrating time of searching - quick how to…

  1. you MUST log into ForScan (had an account and thought I was logged in…)

  2. once logged in note the “acceptance” memorandum for risk >> Version 2.4 - concept change - FORScan forum

  3. access the DL link on this thread (there is a space after HTTPs: which will need to be deleted) >> https: //forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=19552

  4. Again - you MUST be logged in to access >> https://forscan.org/download/7b8/FORScanSetup2.4.22.beta.exe

I will go install and try this out, but before I do, wanted to see if anyone has seen the issues with my #2 issue of the APIMs “interrupted” problem

Thanks for the space and any help
