TRNW-2: Ford 6F50 strategy with Forscan

[Dan Hogan]

Old models use a different method of changing the solenoid strategy parameter values in the PCM. The values can only be changed during a reflash or programming of the PCM.

You’re not doing anything wrong. Forscan cannot complete this job on these PCMs the last I checked.  I received the same message when I did my first old one and had current software. I completed with IDS and takes a long time and the PCM is completely reflashed.

You must use IDS or FJDS to do this programming on these early models.

 I have used Forscan a few times. This 2008 Ford edge has thrown me a curve.

  When I click the PCM, Solenoid strategy comes up as the only option.
 When I select it,it says This ECU has TRID block integrated into the Firmware,
 As a result Module Firmware has to be uploaded to write the TRID block.
 To do this I need Forscan 2.4 or higher.
  My version is 2.3 something or other,and I can find no where to get 2.4 o9r higher.
  This transmission is doing OK without the new strategy,but I would like to do it just to learn what I'm missing.
     Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
 TIA.... Fred
