WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Calibration update is used to install a new calibration and strategy into a module.

A calibration update should be carried out only upon notification (such as a Technical Service Bulletin [TSB]). Also, if a module sets DTC U2050, this indicates no application is present and reflashing of software application is required. If a module sets DTC U2051, this indicates no calibration is present and reflashing of calibration is required.

NOTE: If calibration fails when calibrating the DSM, disconnect the vehicle battery, wait 1 minute, connect the battery and complete the calibration update.
