If you are attempting to program your vehicle with an MPT Custom Tune and you receive the Error: Wrong ECM Type. This means that the VIN stored on the tuner does not match the VIN of the vehicle. Here are your options:
- Power up the X2/SF
- Scroll down to Device Info, Press Select twice. It will display Tuner Status.
- NOTE: If it does not take you to the Tuner Status Window, and instead kicks you back to the Device Info Screen, Your Firmware is Old and will Need to be Updated to check the status.
- Status will either be: Stat=Stock, Stat=Aftermarket, or Stat=Unused.
* Stat=Stock - Your tuner is half locked, but fixable. Go to the tech support page, select the Ford Xcalibrator 2 in the first drop down, select Device Update Software in the second drop down and hit Search. Download Liveload 3 by clicking the "Click Here to Download" next to it. Install this application, once installed open it up, plug in the X2. The program asks the X2 to be on the main menu. Program Vehicle is the main menu of the X2s. Press the unlock button within the liveload application. This will change the status to Unused and the tuner will then be ready to tune a new vehicle.
* If Stat=Aftermarket - The vehicle is VIN locked, you need to either return the vehicle it is currently locked to back to stock, or get ahold of me and we can setup for you to send your tuner to me. There is a $150 charge to unlock a tuner, this is a set price from SCT. I know it's pricey, but it's cheaper than buying a new tuner.
* If Stat=Unused - You will not receive this error message.
