Manufacturer Applications
Introduction
This application enables the diagnosis of all Ford control modules fitted to modern
vehicles, including Engine, ABS/ESP, Airbag, Body Control, Climate Control,
Instruments, TPMS, Power Steering, Transmission, Cruise Control, PATS, Seats,
Doors, Mirrors, etc.
For the engine this includes full functionality for modern systems such as EEC IV and
EEC V. As well as slow (blink) codes from early EEC IV systems (both 2-digit and
3-digit blink codes are supported).
System Selection
Due to the expanded list of supported systems, the Ford main menu is split into
sub-sections:
1. Powertrain (Engine, Transmission, Injector Control, Fuel Additive…).
2. Chassis (ABS/ESP, Parking Brake, TPMS, PAS, Steering Angle Sensor, Cruise
Control, 4x4…).
3. Body (Airbag, Climate, Instruments, Body Control, PATS, Lights, Doors, Seats,
Mirrors, Parking Aid, Tailgate…).
4. Infotainment (Audio, Radio, CD Player, NAV, Display…).
System Search
The system search function allows the OmiCheck to interrogate all possible fitted
control modules fitted to a vehicle. Once the system search has been completed then
a menu of available systems will be displayed. The operator can then select the
required system for further diagnosis.
There are now two options under System Search:
1. Quick Search. This option will interrogate the core control modules only (Engine,
ABS/ESP, Airbag, Climate Control, Body Control, Instruments, Parking Brake
etc.).
2. Full Search. This option will interrogate ALL Control Modules (as the OmiCheck
now supports, and therefore searches for, every Ford control module this may
take several minutes to complete).
NOTE: All module names are displayed as acronyms and the key can be used to
show the help text when a menu is being displayed.
General Diagnostics
All of the generic systems have the options to read and clear DTCs, display Electronic
Control Module (ECM) data and perform a self test if available.
