How to reprogram/reflash Ford PCM via IDS software

It’s aimed to help how to reprogram/reflash Ford PCM via IDS software using scanners like VCM2 or VXDIAG VCX NANO for Ford. Also, solutions of Error Code:11.0x0 851082 will be shared here by other users.

Model:
2011 Ford Taurus
2006 Ford Fusion

Error message:
"The operation cannot begin because the PCM failed to complete a service procedure. Perform PMI on the PCM to resolve the issue."

Possible scanners working with:

Customer solution:
Customer A:
Turn off your firewall

Customer B:
Uninstall fmp and reinstall it. I have had this happen before.
I have had some new pcm be un programmable.
And just for reference. Fmp doesn't like Google. Use 32 bit processor as well.
I had to slow my computer down from 64-32 because fmp would not work correctly with 64.
Good luck.

Customer C:
If you are checking PCM for up-dates, Ford will advise on 6.0L powertrain if there is a reflash avail for TCM, FICM or PCM, if it states there is no update then all three modules are at latest level, no action required, I am aware it states to remove FICM relay prior to reflash FICM, this is a carryover note from when we used PDS or WDS to reflash the FICM, if you are using IDS with VMM interface its not required to remove the FICM relay, I have reflashed over 1000 of them this way over the last 7 years, as always make sure the battery stays in the sweet spot @ 13.5 volts, make sure your laptop has sufficient power, I always plug in, make sure cables to veh and laptop are safe from accidental disconnect, Good luck!

Customer D:
If you try to VCM2 genuine or clone to make reprogaming well you need IDS V98.01 or higher.
It would be good to check if during initiation programming interface output 18,5V on pin 13 in OBD connector.

VCM 2 Ford IDS V101 V100 Full Free Download

Hello, folks. China Ford IDS nowadays has been updated to version 101.01. Sources is shared from a forum. Now, i put it here for you all to download Ford IDS V101 V100 full version.

Free download:
IDS-100.01_Full.exe (tested ok)
IDS-101.01_Full.exe (developed but not tested yet)
Ford-ids-98.01.zip (tested good)
Mazda_IDS_98.00.zip  (tested good)

Note: there are many IDS free download links on webs, but you are not suggested to download and install one; because for one thing, most new IDS online is offered to test- that is, actually, they has been not tested before release; and for another, free new IDS usually may be expired within 3 days- that is, you cannot use them then. Also, IDS installlation is quite not easy.
---> you had better choose the one has been tested good, to avoid some unnecessary problem.

Operation system for tested Ford IDS:
Windows XP
Or Windows 7

Language:
English, German, Spanish, Spanish(Mexico), Italy, French, French (Canada), Greece, Finland, Slovenia, Danmark ,Czechic, Chinese(Taiwan), Chinese(China), Amer English, Vietnam, Turkey, Thailand, Swedish, Russian, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Poland, Norwegian, Holand, Korea, Japanese, Indian, Hungary

Compatible device for tested IDS 98:
Ford VCM ii clone with Quality A pcb


Different types of vcm ii from China, but some are bad to use (many complaints on forums)... You also can refer the table here:
Item number sp177 sp177-1 sp177-c sp177-c1 sp177-c2 sp239-b sp10-d sp10-t
WIFI adapter NO NO NO YES YES NO NO NO
Software V98 V97 V97 V98 V97 V97 IDS V86 JLRV135 IDS V86 JLRV135
Software Ford Ford Ford Ford Ford Ford and Mazda Ford,mazda Land rover,jaguar Ford,mazda, Land rover,jaguar
Quality Ordinary B A A B Ordinary stable stable
VMware YES YES YES YES YES YES NO NO

pin code calculator NO NO NO NO NO NO YES YES
SP239-B has the difference working method as others. Quality A has the best quality. For ford VCM II which do not have WIFI adapter, if you need WIFI function, you need to buy the WIFI D-link Wireless card. Now vcm ii software adds VMware software inside. Best way is install the VMware first, then install the software on VMware. If you do not want VMware, you can choose the way without vmware to install.

This VCM ii above comes with the best quality and with the wireless card to support Ford till 2015 for diagnosis and programming:
