IM 508 and ford coded pats

I attempted to do one with my IM608 but to perform the “parameter reset” I needed to have a NAtSF license and a code. Had to send to dealer because I don’t do enough to justify the purchase of the license.

I tried it on a car whose computer had been replaced with a used one and in the end it turned out to be a computer incompatible with vehicle.

I had same problem after fully updating IM508 parameter reset worked.

Unless your tool can bypass the PIN,it requires a LSID & log in with IDS.

Should work. If it’s bladed, Parameter Reset Will work. Will not work on Push to Start. If you replaced a module, might need programming first before you can add 2 keys. Make sure you have the correct chip as well. 2 keys minimum unless adding. Correction, It can actually do push to start as well Parameter Reset.

17feb22:Correction: after updating IM508 i was abke to do parameter reset for used commputer. 16feb22: just tried to install used ecm on 2014 Fusion and when trying to do parameter reset ran into error in picture attached, the button is there but did not work.

That’s different. Some older fords you could do PR or Erase all keys when replacing PCM WITHOUT PROPERLY WRITING VIN AKA PROGRAMMING. Blank path or PMI. Depends on the situation or year/modem. Newer models require it or It won’t start if you try PR/AKL

Yeah I was very surprised when I ran into it, seeing how autel says update 3.6 has parameter reset for … fusion. Update: I update im508, not the ford app, but the system app and it worked. Im508 can do parameter reset on fusion 2014, coded PATS.

My wife has a 2019 Edge, had no problem with the 608 to add a key. Key was purchased online.

Are you trying to add a key or is this a new module or all keys lost situation?

Rudy just adding a key. I have one factory key that works.

Hi, I would start with a factory ford key. I have programmed keys to this vehicle with no problem with the IM608.
