VXDIAG Cannot Connect with Ford Fiesta 2022?

Problem:

One of our customer reported that his vxdiag vcx nano Ford IDS scanner failed to connect to a Ford fiesta 1.0 petrol. 2022.

Solution:

For Fiesta 2022, you need to use the Ford FDRS (Ford Diagnostic and Repair System) software for this vehicle as the error picture indicated.

FORD
The following vehicles are supported by FDRS
	2018+		Expedition/Navigator
	2018+		Ecosport
	2019+		Ranger
	2020+		Transit
	2019+		Transit Connect
	2020+		Explorer/Aviator
	2020+		Super Duty

VCX SE can be used as J2534 passthru device for Ford FDRS software.

 

NOTE:

VCX NANO and VCX SE do not support CAN FD protocol, if your new Ford has CAN FD protocol, you need VXDIAG VCX FD for Ford.

VXDIAG also released a new driver for FDRS.  You can install either Ford IDS or FDRS driver to use FDRS software.

Allscanner VXDIAG released Ford FDRS driver in VX Manager.

Installation is easy just like other drivers.

 

Select Ford FDRS driver

Install

Wait until installation is completed.

FDRS has always worked without FDRS driver. You can also use vxdiag vcx nano/vxdiag vcx se for Ford FDRS to program modules online.  Just select VXDIAG J2534.

With the FDRS driver, it is faster.

And the Ford FDRS Software:
https://www.motorcraftservice.com/diagnostic/Support?channelId=51&categoryId=304

And it is super easy to do with FDRS Software from Ford’s website. You need to get a 2 day license for the software ($50).

You will need the Keyless Entry Pad, internet access, the FDRS license, a Ford login account, and Internet access in order to install the Keyless Entry. NOTE: When you buy the license it doesn’t make your account. So that was an extra step. (I actually installed all the FDRS,FJDS, IDS, and VCI software)

I installed the license in FJDS only to find out that FJDS doesn’t work on the Bronco.

After intalling the FDRS software, the VXDiag VX Manager Software, and the J2534 Adapter;
Start the FDRS software.
Open FDRS, log into your account using FDRS
Look for the Keyless Entry Programming section and download that routine from the net.
Make sure the vehicle is off, and start the module, follow the instructions.
Power on vehicle when prompted.
Enter the six digit serial number when prompted.
Test the Keyless Entry Lock when prompted.
Turn off the vehicle when prompted.
Test the entry code.
Program your new personal code if desired.
Test your personal entry code
press 7-8/9-0 to lock your vehicle.

You are done.

It was really quite easy! Hope that helps anyone who wants to tackle this.
