It is crucial to regularly update your transmission software to maintain smooth operation, enhance gear shifting, and address any potential software-related issues. Our experienced technicians utilize advanced diagnostic equipment and authorized software to ensure the optimal performance of your Ford vehicle. Come see us for creative automotive options and exceptional customer care.

Initial Diagnostic Check: Our process for updating software starts with a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to pinpoint any problems or signs linked to your Ford’s transmission. If you have observed delayed gear shifts, erratic behavior, or any other indications of issues, we will deal with them in this phase. Furthermore, we will also examine your car’s maintenance records, such as previous software upgrades or transmission fixes, to have a complete grasp of your Ford’s state before moving forward.

Software Compatibility Verification: Next, our technicians will inspect the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to determine if a software update is necessary. We then cross-reference your Ford’s specific make, model, and year with Ford’s official database to identify the appropriate transmission software updates. Ensuring the new software is fully compatible with your vehicle’s hardware and electronic systems is vital to prevent potential issues or security risks.

Software Update Installation: Once the correct update has been identified, we download the latest transmission software from Ford’s official database and prepare it for installation. Our technicians follow the manufacturer’s detailed guidelines for updating the transmission software and meticulously manage the process to ensure a smooth and accurate installation. We monitor the update closely to avoid disruptions, providing the diagnostic tool remains connected and the vehicle’s power is maintained throughout the process.

Post-Update Diagnostic Check: We activate and configure the new update after the software installation by powering your vehicle’s electronic systems. This process might require turning on the engine again and erasing any error codes currently saved in the vehicle’s computer system. Next, we perform an in-depth diagnostic scan to ensure the proper installation of the new software and to identify any potential issues that may have emerged while updating. We aim to ensure that the update has been executed flawlessly and that no error codes remain.

System Calibration: Following the update, we assist in rebooting and recalibrating your Ford’s electronic systems to ensure they integrate seamlessly with the new software. It may involve calibrating sensors, resetting saved data, and making other necessary adjustments to ensure that the transmission operates smoothly with the updated software. Proper system calibration is essential to achieving optimal performance and longevity for your vehicle.

Test Drive: Lastly, our technicians test drive your Ford to verify the transmission is working correctly following the software update. While conducting the test drive, we carefully observe gear changes, how the vehicle reacts, and its overall performance to ensure everything functions as anticipated. Specific tuning procedures might be necessary for some transmission software updates, like driving the car in particular conditions to ensure complete recalibration of the TCM.
