Hello,
i'm Volker from germany and i'm driving a 1999 S-Type v8 since a short time.
unfortunately the PCM is locked, i use IDS and a mongoose cable and can not access the PCM.
even during configuration I cannot get a connection to the PCM
now i have read the Thread:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ed-ecu-226490/

and the article from motorcarman and found the file Jaguar 32-bit ECM recovery procedure.doc
.
unfortunately the pictures are missing and it is for facelift, 2003.

this also applies to pre facelift

how do i get back to the PCM?

thanks for your help, volker

 

Is it a clone cable and/or a cracked IDS? They feel the most likely.

Next, have you checked the wiring, pins, fuses, etc for the OBD?

BTW you have a PCM sometimes known as a Ford PTEC / PCM150.

Have you tried an ordinary OBD tool to see if it can get normal OBD data?

Do you know how the PCM apparently got into what you call "locked"?

Also, a vital issue: have you checked your 4.0 has got the revised chain tensioners etc? It'll destroy its engine if not, sooner or later. Note: updating them is NOT an item carried out during any service but does need doing.

 

Hello,
it's a china clone mongoose cable, IDS is 130. not on vm.
Pinpoint test is done, wiring checked more than one time.
normal OBD can't connect.
i bought the car, it's been standing still there for nine years.
it has got the latest chain tensioners from me and runs good,
but it keeps giving the error message: transmission malfunctioned
and then shift harder.
Volker

 

You found your problem! No need to explain further. Stop using clone crap. You get what you paid for...

 

okay, t
hen I'll look for a good one.
configuring the ABS but worked.
what's the right procedure to configure the PCM?
Thanks

 

can you tell me a source of supply for an "original" cable?
as far as i know, no originals have been built for several years.
unfortunately, used ones are also very rare, and how can i distinguish them from clones?
drewtech also does not offer cables anymore.
also very expensive new cables are china clones.

 

Ebay. Your looking for VCM or legit Drew Mongoose cable. Might need to take to a shop that already has the hardware.

 

Hi,
now i bought a VCM and i can read the PCM.
Thank you for help.
