In order to minimize module variations, different equipment levels and functionalities are incorporated in the same module. For this reason, modules must be programmed following replacement. For this purpose, the vehicle-specific data are read out of the module to be replaced using "Install programmable modules" routine in the Ford diagnostic unit and transferred to the new module. In the process, it is also possible to replace older software versions with more up-to-date versions, for example.
If it was not possible to read out any vehicle-specific data with the Ford diagnostic unit before replacing a module (the module to be replaced does not respond), the data available in the OASIS system (ASBUILT data) must be entered manually using the Ford diagnostic unit when programming the module.
