Ford security/PCM programming
Hello diag.net Good afternoon. I am trying to perform a parameter rest on this Focus. The scan tool faults every time I try to log into Motorcraft. I have a current Motorcraft subscription. Is IDS having problems? Is there an issue with Nastf or my account? Does it need Internet Explorer?

Both were PCM replacements. I'm pretty sure the Escape I did a PCM replacement on a few weeks ago was also a 2017. The last time…

Thank you everyone For the help. the screen right before the first screenshot I posted asked for user ID and country, I am used to entering my NASTF credentials right away, this was new to me.
