Ha Ha you have been doing what I have done ybp.

I can confirm C2, C4 & C5 do not have on them any strategies starting GH.

I have a database of 721 ECU bins pre WDS & I don't have any either!

I assume you want to look at the Escort Cosworth that GHAJ0 strategy relates too.

All I can give you is this link to download a BE2012 definition file for GHAJO.

Also WDS Disc's before B-21 also contained the PCM calibration data found on the later C disc's. These are the disc's you need to look at.

This is what I have & I am willing to swop any copies for pre B-21 disc's. Thanks.

Ah Ok. I bought a disc from you on ebay, about 10 minutes before I found this thread LOL.


Ok thanks, as it happens I bought a PTU, base, disks and cables, just this morning.


Hopefully, it has earlier stuff loaded, as it comes with B23 & C2.


Apparently there are 5 calibrations that fall under the GHAJ0 strategy. I have CARD and COSY from the ECU's 56kb or the full 64kb. Your welcome to both.


Yes correct, thanks for the link. I have BE2012 and those.


I'm interested in the full 64kb of ANTI and the other two of five, plus other stuff of that era.

That is very helpful, thanks.


All right I'll see what turns up in the lot I ordered.


Cheers

Ha Ha well at least you have a proper original copy now.

It won't have what you're looking for mate.
Infact I am 99% certain no WDS disc will have what you're after.
I can't be certain about pre B-21 disks as I have none.

I don't even think them files are on the FDS disks either as I have all of them except one or two.

Thanks but I only tune ABARO so they would be no use to me.

WDS is not very good for pre 2000 Ford especially ECU programming.
FDS is much better & will often do cars the WDS can not.

 

Can anyone say for sure they have got 256mb memory to work in a WDS.

I can't get it too.

I have tried these two.



I figured out PC100 memory does not work in a WDS so that explains that.

But even locked PC66 256mb memory will not boot, yet 128mb does & anything smaller.

I have come to the conclusion it does not support 256mb modules unless anyone can tell me different.
Thanks.

 

I have tried PC66 256MB without success. I tried a few SIMMs but I can ONLY get a 128MB 'stick' to operate.

Both my PTUs have 160MB (128 + the original 32MB soldered to the board).

I guess you could install two 128MB to get to the 256MB max if you wanted to remove the 32MB from the board and install a 128 (soldered) and slide the other 128 into the slot.

Good Luck.

Hmmmm, sounds ominous. The WDS unit is still in transit, so I don't know what earlier stuff is included.


BOB engine ?



Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

 

The Cologne one used in the Scorpio?

 

Yes. The V6 Cologne 24v BOB Cosworth.
I use the WDS to data log & to run the software I use to remap the ECU's.

It's still an ongoing project that's not perfected yet.

The FDS is a more reliable system for re-flashing but only STD maps.
I can't get it to flash my modified maps.

Thanks for the confirmation.
256mb memory does not work with the WDS PTU.
I also use 128mb boards for 160mb total.

 

Is it possible for me to reprogram my immobiliser using the ptu. If so does anyone has instruction on how to do it? Thanks. 2000 jaguar xk8

 

What EXACTLY do you want to do????????? Did you replace a component/module and need immo setup??
Do you want to ADD/REMOVE Key Transponders??????
A little more info will get a MORE correct answer.

bob gauff

 

I replaced the instrument cluster, and now the car won't start. I tried doing the immo setup, but that didn't work.

 

Why did you replace the INST PK??????
There was a TSB for the 2000MY X100/X300 INST PKs (Service Action S484).
Was the Service Action performed on either/both???????????

I have installed salvage yard INST PKs and they were 'plug-n-play' except the mileage was different.

Make SURE you get the correct one. I don't know if different MY or VCATS units will work. I always get the same Model Year and S/C or NA depending on the car.

You might type in a more of a story or explanation (eg. symptoms and diagnostics) of what happened, what diagnosis led to you to your decision and the steps taken for repair.

bob gauff

 

The old one without on me. The lights didn't illumminate and the gauges stopped working. At the time the car would start, but would not go into gear. As soon as I put the replacement pack in the immo kicked in and the car hasn't started since. I called the jaguar dealer and they told me that my security system needs to be reprogrammed since I change out the instrument pack. I have a ptu so I would much rather program it myself than to give them 300.00

 

If you put the OLD INSTPK back in will the engine start?????
If the engine starts, then the car is NOT IMMObilized.

Does the replacement INSTPK have the same VCATS??
Is it from a 2000MY XK8??
Does it have an M on the back plate?? (S484 performed??)

How familiar are you with WDS??
What version of software are you using??

You might have a faulty replacement INSTPK???

bob gauff

 

Just to be clear fellas, a 2000 XK8 will have to have the immobilization reset to allow starting. Any car with a PATS key, a key with a chip in it, will have to have to have that done if a used IPC is installed. Without doing that, it thinks the key is un-programmed and will not crank and start.
************************************************** ****

Ignore that last statement in bold. Steve [WhiteXKR] caught me being stupid and doing what I caution others not to do....... not to be sure of the model, model year or system you are talking about.
This is solid evidence that an old guy with a small melon has to be careful and remember, when you pour more stuff in, it is likely gonna make other stuff pour out. See Post #260
************************************************** ****

The 2000 XK8 will not have to have the immobilization reset if the instrument pack is substituted. I will try to clarify which ones do in a later post.

My apologies for the mis-direction.

Also, a used IPC should NEVER be 'programmed' in a second car. Any attempt to do that will likely make it forever unusable. These are designed to have the VIN programmed into the pack the first time. Any attempt to do that again trashes the pack.

So, a used IPC in any car will forever have the wrong VIN in it, but the car will start and run. That is not a problem most places, but in some states with mandatory inspections, those VIN's are checked and a mismatch will fail the inspection.

Cheers,

 

Yes I tried putting the old one back in and it still wouldn't start. I can also hear a buzzing noise coming from the engine compartment when I turn the car on. I don't know if that has anything to do with the immo or not. I am pretty sure it's the immo.

 

So is it possible to reset it using the wds? If so how because I look I thru the software, and there isn't a option to do so. The closest thing i found was immobilization setup, which didn't fix the problem.

 

Is a 2001 different? I have successfully swapped INSTPKs (with same VCATS) and it never set immobilization, just as motorcarman described.

 

The buzzing noise is the throttle motor assy. It 'hums' with the KEY-ON.

bob gauff

 

Thanks for keeping me honest, Steve. I sure didn't stop to think it fully through before I hit 'submit'.

Whether or not the immobilization has to be reset to allow starting after a module substitution, really depends on which engine management system the car has. That is because the modules involved in the PATS security system varies. I'll see if I can make this understandable:

X100, X308 4.0L V8 [AJ26/AJ27]
Denso 16-bit Engine System

X200 4.0L V8 and 3.0L V6 [AJ60/AJ28/AJ26]
PTEC Engine System

X103, X105, X202, X204, X206, X350, X356, X358, X400, X404 [AJ61/AJ62/AJ33/AJ34]
Denso 32-bit Engine system**

------------------------------

PATS Involved Modules:

Denso 16-bit
Engine Control Module [ECM]
Key Transponder Module [KTM]
Body Processor [BPM]

PTEC Engine System
Engine Control Module [ECM]
Instrument Pack [IPC]
General Electronic Module [GECM]

Denso 32-bit
Engine Control Module [ECM]
Instrument Pack [IPC]
**For 2006-2008, the XJ and S-Type got a new engine system called the PAN-PAG ECM system, but the PATS remained the same.


Any PATS involved module, if it is substituted, can be 'immobilized' so it will function, [and allow starting] but it cannot be 'programmed' to the vehicle like it is a new module.

Whew! There it is. And you thought it was cut and dried...........


Sorry for the confusion.
