UCDS Forum

Hi,
On my Focus MK3 (2013), i did some updates of my modules car with Update Wizard but with last module, FCDIM, update has failed. Programming was very long and after 5 hours, software indicates "Erasing flash block 1 from 1" since 2h30 so i decided to stop programming (see screenshot). Module is now dead. My battery is now too discharged to start my vehicle but it's a different problem.

I think i have to use now VBF Loader but i don't know how to proceed, use the right calibration files etc.

Someone can help me please ?

get a battery charger and install teamviewer, and let me know

Thanks. UCDS support told me to use VBF loader and flash only calibration files + SBL because software was 100% programming but with a dead module it's not easier. The procedure asks to electrical switch off / on the module but how when we don't have access to it ? So i tried with 2 differents fuses related to car audio but unfortunately, without success.

Finally it's working. Thanks to @fordsmaxtcdi who said me to do the battery trick (5-10min unplug) and module was again alive.
My air conditioning (A/C) was also not working, i downgraded HVAC and BCM module and everything is ok now.

good news

Hello, have the same issue.
But can’t program with VBF, get eror message invalid key.

How I can repair it?

What SBL do you use?
