Requirements
There are two products that we sell that can read the program in a factory ECM:
BURN1/BURN2 with a F2A and F2E – This setup can be used to read ECMs on the bench. ECM does not need to be powered.
QuarterHorse – This setup requires the ECM to be powered either by a vehicle’s battery or a 12V bench power supply.
Reading with BURN2+F2A+F2E
- Start with all cables disconnected (F2A,F2E,USB,etc.)
- Connect the F2E to the F2A
- Put the F2A in the BURN1/BURN2
- Connect the Burn1-2/F2A/F2E Assembly to your ECM. Make sure your ECM is powered off if it is in the vehicle
- Connect the USB from the BURN2 to the PC
- Start Flash n Burn Software on the PC
- Choose appropriate settings for the Supported chip type based on the ECM type: J3 Ford EEC-IV Reader or J3 Ford EEC-V Reader
- Choose appropriate settings based on the number of banks used:
- 56k EEC-IV = 032000 start 03FFFF end
- 64k EEC-IV = 030000 start 03FFFF end
- 2-bank EEC-V = 010000 start 02FFFF end
- 4 bank EEC-V = 000000 start 03FFFF end
- Click “Save buffer to file” and choose a filename.
Reading with QuarterHorse
At the time of writing (Aug5-2010) Binary Editor is the only software that supports this feature of the QH reliably. Select “Read PCM” from within the software.
