Stability Control.....

Should have made my question more clear I have a 15 non pp sho and want to add the ability to shut off the AdvanceTrac by adding the switch and wire to the IC and updating the asbuild data. Wanted to know if anyone had tried to do this and if it worked, and if it does what block of the asbuild do you need to change? Im currently compiling a list of asbuild data lines that are different between the pp and non pp versions but I don't know what they correspond to. Thanks

I would try to contact Jason username is (JMR061)! He also has a new updated site & email @ jason@FLVPmods.com or http://www.flvpmods.com/ .Z
 
So reprogramming the IPC and changing the ABD File while you can put the cluster in engineering mode and find the Build data! AWesome indeed.  Z
 
Sweet! Going to have to see if I can do this to my 13' Flex...

Quick overview of what seems to need to be done for this

Repin pin 18 at the instrument cluster

ABS 760-03-01 needs changed to  "4001 AC"
IPC: Changed all from PP
 
Normally I don't like commenting on things done with a certain software since I am a licensed IDS holder however I have to comment to keep people from screwing up their vehicles.  You just don't take and rewrite the entire data within a module to gain one function and call it good.  You have just taken away and given options to your vehicle making unintended changes and then will you be like where the heck did that go or I don't have that.  Please narrow down the specific change needed.

I looked into this about 4 years ago but couldn't find anyone that actually wanted to do the wiring for the switch so I am glad someone took the initiative to finally do it.  It also needs to be tested though.  Just because it comes up now doesn't necessarily mean its operative.  It could be further hardware and or software restricted.  This is true with some other options.

Has it been tested and if so how?  It may work as is but it does need to be tested.

I would love to hear that it actually does work. 

Don't take what I have said the wrong way either...I applaud Kevlar_07 for doing this.
 
I dont think Ford will pick up the tab if there was any issues to arise especially if you have warranty...
I would think twice before adding this feature similar to having a tune installed IMHO!
I am in NO way discrediting this Mod but simply advising precautionary measures which should always be welcomed.  Z  :)

Confirmed this does work on the flex!

Hell yeah! Now that I have my ST put back together I'll be doing this. If you don't mind, would you be able to post what you changed for the asbuilt?

Same as the YouTube video. Once I have more time I'm going to try a couple different PP Sho's asbuilt data because I get a message that my collision warning has been disabled, other then that works just as it should disabling TC and advance trac

I did lots of research and found a performance pack car that had the same options as mine then compared the needed data lines to see what needed to be changed, I have the same functionality as I had before the programming just the added function of the switch being in the center console instead of the IPC. I can confirm that it does in fact function as anticipated allowing the car to slide and drift when disabled and the advance track still kicks in like before with traction/advance track enabled. As with any other modification you do to your vehicle you assume the risk, I have been walking some one through this process with his 13 and for some reason he doesn't have the sport mode option. 


so programing on my car I needed to change  line IPC 720-01-03 and line ABS 760-01-03

To my knowledge the adaptive cruise and the PP data will not play together because you couldn't get the performance pack car with adaptive cruise I assume they use the same lines of data to store the data needed to run each system if that makes sense. let us know if you get it worked out.
 
Space was a limiting factor on the decision to not include adaptive cruise with the perf pkg from factory.  Luckily, people figured out how to add perf pkg enhancements to their non-perf pkg vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise.  Adding adaptive cruise would be a heck of an achievement tho.
 
Got the pin run today to the IPC, and messed with the programming a little bit.
Changed the IPC 720-01-03 to that of a PP SHO

Then changed the ABS. I got the same warning of the collision detection as others had, so I tried a couple of modifications to the the ABS 760-01-03 address. The stock on my Flex was 0601, the value for the PP seemed to be 4001. The first 4 allows you to actually use the button to change the modes, as I tried changing it from 0601 to 4601 and the modes became available. However, even with the modes enabled, it still was throwing the traction control on. Next I moved to the 6. If you change it to 0, the modes seem to work as designed, however collision detection is disabled. If I set it at 2 however, I don't get the alert that collision detection is disabled and the modes seem to work as designed.

Just my findings on the matter, and anyone following should understand the risks of modifying this data.
 
On a 2013 Lincoln MKS, I can confirm that editing the data to that of a SHO PP allows you to add a button to disable AdvanceTrac. I just drilled a hole on the steering column shroud and put a button from Amazon through it.
