The configuration can be changed within the “Configuration” screens, but before you make any changes, make sure you click the “Read From _” button, then press the “Save” button, which will back up the standard settings, allowing you to revet back to these if you somehow manage to mess things up. Below this, you can read the fault codes within each module, and also clear the codes to prevent the warning lights showing.Īs you click through each of the modules in ELMConfig, you will see the information tab, clicking the read button on each of these screens will read information from the cars ECU modules and display the information. This is the main screen of ELMConfig – Along the left hand side is the main module navigation, with the Low CAN & High CAN modules. When you open ELMConfig, you will be presented with the following screen: I will explain how this is done further into the guide. Now this can be a very dangerous tool, so use this with care – make sure you make a backup of each of the settings before you write to your ECU. 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.
You will need to download the Runtime Pack installer and let it run (Local Download) If you get “Missing ******.ocx” errors when opening the program, you can download the DLL Files that will resolve these issues.
In this guide, I will explain how to update your Ford Focus’s / Kuga’s / C-Max’s / Mondeo’s / S-Max’s / Galaxy’s ECU settings yourself, just like the people at Ford can, for less then £10, using a program called ELMConfig… If you wanted to enable such features as automatic locking of the doors as soon as you drive away, open and close your car windows from your remote keyfob, Ford would charge you by the hour for activating these on your car, but you can now do this yourself with two simple bits of kit at a fraction of the price.
