U2100 After New Pscm Install Programmed With FJDS – Diagnostic Network (2024)

AiDN AI Assistant

This is a reply from an experimental AI-powered advisor. It is important to exercise caution, verify information from multiple sources, and make informed decisions based on the prevailing circ*mstances.

The U2100 code indicates an issue with the initial configuration not being complete after installing a new Power Steering Control Module (PSCM). Since you mentioned that you cannot perform a Parameter Reset or Module Initialization (PMI) due to not having the original steering rack, you'll need to ensure that the new PSCM is correctly programmed.Here are a few steps you can take: - Verify…

I believe you just need to run learn procedure after that. I done a few, and that was it.

Mark Mobile Technician

Hey Tony…Long time no hear..lol..I was gonna pick yur brain but didnt want to bother you too much as i have recently done.. What kind of relearn are u talking about cause fjds ,i didnt see any relearns available…

Antonio Mobile Technician

I missed the part where you said you didn't do PMI.. Do PMI, you don't need old rack. Take it for a drive after that.

Mark Mobile Technician

ok…i tried pmi and it didnt do anything like it didnt even respond.. I never did a drive after that but the shop owner is going to drive it tomorrow.. Thanks..ill let u know..

Michael Owner/Technician

Why aren’t you able to do the PMI?

Mark Mobile Technician

I dont have the original rack since it was sent back as a core for 650 dollars..

Michael Owner/Technician

Ok I see but honestly I never use the old ones I just install the new one and do a PMI and I’ve never had issues…. But honestly I’m not familiar with fjds I use the ids and on with that I don’t need the old one.

Mark Mobile Technician

Actually I tried to do that and it does nothing when I command pmi.

Michael Owner/Technician

Only other thing I’d suggest that I always do when I’m doing used modules and they give me issues is to redo the as built but manually

Mark Mobile Technician

I tried that..this is also a new ford part….

Michael Owner/Technician

Ok if it’s new I’d say scan tool issue because I never need the old racks when I’m programming a brand new rack on these

Richard Owner/Technician

I lliterally fought same code today, and got the win at the last minute without the original ABS module being necessary to program via PMI…careful selection of exact function in FJDS under PMI but i would have to review screenshots to demonstrate or explain precisely which step i did differently to win…will aadviseI almost scheduled a return visit to repeat attempt but kept trying. Voltages…

Your post says aftermarket. Is the rack aftermarket? If so its likely junk. If IDS doesn't resolve it then likely needs new rack from dealer.

Mark Mobile Technician

No ,the steering rack is from ford…

Caleb Diagnostician

Use IDS would be my advice then and be sure its at latest update

Kris Owner/Technician

Need to do a IVD (Interactive Vehicle Dynamics) Calibration/Initialization if I recall correctly. What scan tools do you have?

Bill Owner/Technician

Kris - I believe that is for the ABS - the module configuration sheet doesn't show any adaptive learning or calibration necessary for the PSCM

Bill Owner/Technician

Mark - You must complete the PMI procedure - there is more than just as built data to be done.

Sam Owner/Technician

Yes, one of the last ones I did had a flash as well as as-built/configuration data.

Eric Owner/Technician

Why the heck are shops so quick to return cores? Everyone by now should know that occasionally the old module is necessary, or at least cuts the time down substantially when programming is necessary. In Michigan, the customer is entitled to look at any part, including cores. Wait until the job is completed and repairs are verified before returning any cores or parts.

Timothy Owner/Technician

Great advice, and I agree that it would be nice to do so. But, when the core charge is in excess of several hundred dollars in many cases, most small shops return it immediately.In any case, with the correct tooling this issue almost never arises.I would attempt to reset the SAS and torque sensor on this before going any further.FJDS was designed mostly for powertrain and not…

Mark Mobile Technician

Thanks to all who replied ..I gave up because the fjds tool could not do the pmi properly so we sent it to dealer..

Michael Owner/Technician

Makes sense I’ve only ever tried with ids and never had an issue

Allen Mobile Technician

Never used FJDS, but with IDS if the module has a U2100 set the tool will do PMI just fine. IDS sees U2100 as “new module, never programmed” and pulls all info it needs from the Ford servers.

Stephan Owner/Technician

Hi Mark,just start new IDS-FJDS session with PSCM unplug but you need to delete old session first because if you restart session IDS see than you have session with same VIN,after session ok replug PSCM start PMI the software just check but no info from PSCM and after a moment it ask if you if you want than check online for calibration and as-built clic ok ,good luck.
