How To: Enable Power Meter on Non-GT Mach E

[generaltso]

Do you have working BlueCruise? This probably won't work if you don't since the IPC software will be too old.

And even if you do, it still likely won’t work if the car is a Job 1.

Is it possible to update a module with Obdlink MX+?? Actually I have read that I need an EX but I don't know if with some recent update that the MX+ has received it will allow it. Thank you

Yes. I have an MX, not an MX+, and it works fine.

Depends what you mean by update? As built? Yes. Firmware? Yes with FORScan, but I do not recommend it over bluetooth....

This is most likely my issue. Car has the BC update but is most def a ‘21 - Job1. Oh well. I’ve learned to live without it this long, guess I can go without it a bit longer.

I've done some readings on this, but I'm not entirely clear: Is there an update on FDRS for Job 1 IPCs to enable this? (Along with the Forscan changes, of course)

No.

FYI the power limit bars will not display on non-GTs. They could be another setting or the data for them isn’t being sent on the bus. I tried some changes but wasn’t able to get them to appear.

You will just notice the power bar stopping less than 100% while floored if a power limit is in effect.

So I performed this change today along with the temperature display instead of direction on the display.

Everything worked fine. But about an hour after performing the update I was driving and I got a front camera fault message and pre-collision assist not available message.

Could I have messed something up? Or just coincidence?

I also did the tailgate kick sensor module change about a month ago. Those 3 are the only changes I have made in Forscan.

Hi there! This doesn’t sound like the experience we want you to be having with your Mach-E. Please go ahead and send a private message to us with your VIN and dealership information. I’d be happy to look into this for you. Thank you

Do you understand what this thread is about? I'm not sure you want to be offering your support here

These numbers need to read 0200 (per the author)

Help. I try to do everything step by step and when I put #2 and hit Write after the bar finishes loading the last letter is an “A” and it changes to “C”. Also the Power Meter does not come out. I have Job 2. I attach the photos.

Normal, the last two digits are the checksum and FORScan automatically recalculates it when you make a change.

If the 2 didn't enable it, you probably don't have new enough IPC software for it to work.

Thank you very much for your help. Can I update that module only with Forscan and OBDLink MX+? I have already read that I must connect a 12 volt charger. Is there a link with instructions on how to update it? Thanks again!!

No, you should use FDRS and a proper J2534 programming device.

If you don't have an IPC update showing up there's no point in continuing.
