This ProCal II tool has been designed to deliver a performance calibration to your vehicle and will preserve a copy of your vehicle’s stock calibration, should you decide to remove the performance pack for any reason. The tool will be locked to your vehicle until the original stock calibration has been restored. Once the original calibration has been restored to your vehicle, the performance calibration and corresponding hardware can be installed on another vehicle of the same year, make, model and PCM part number.

Carefully follow each of the steps below.

RECALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Before you begin, verify your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):

Verify your vehicle’s VIN matches the VIN recorded on the label of the ProCal II box (VIN is located directly above your name on a 1.25” wide x 1” tall label on the box). If the VIN is not correct, contact the Ford Racing Techline at

1-800-367-3788. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPROGRAM YOUR PCM.

Prepare ProCal II:

STEP 1: Peel back the rubber boot from the lower portion of the ProCal II to expose the memory card socket.

STEP 2: Insert the DB25 connector of the J1962 cable into the top of the ProCal II. Finger-tighten the retaining screws of the DB25 so that it is firmly fastened to the ProCal II.

Prepare Vehicle:

STEP 3:

Remove the memory card from its plastic case and insert into the socket of the ProCal II with the card label facing the same direction as the ProCal II display screen. Return the rubber boot to its original position to cover the memory card socket.

Make sure your vehicle’s battery is fully charged (at least 12.0 volts) and all accessories (radio, interior fan, headlights, etc.) are off. If you are unsure if your vehicle’s battery is fully charged, connect a battery charger prior to beginning the programming process.

CAUTION: If your ProCal II aborts programming due to low voltage or if the programming process is interrupted for any reason, you may need to send your PCM back to Ford Racing for repair before the vehicle will start.

STEP 4: Locate the onboard Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) beneath the driver side dashboard. The exact location of the DLC will vary with vehicle model and year but will always be on the driver’s side. For 2005 and newer Mustangs, it is located under the dashboard directly above the driver’s left knee.

STEP 5: Hold down the ENTER button on the Procal II while inserting the OBDII connector into the vehicle DLC, then let go of the ENTER button. The tool will update itself with the software from the memory card. Do not continue to the next step until the red error light goes out and a menu appears that says

“Programming / Diagnostics / Setup”. Note that holding down the ENTER button is only necessary the very first time you use a particular memory card. For every subsequent use of the same card, you do not need to hold down the ENTER button while inserting the Procal II connector into the DLC.

STEP 6:

STEP 7:

Turn the ignition key of your vehicle to the ON (not start) position.

If the vehicle you are working on is a Lightning truck or a Ford GT (NOT a Mustang GT), you must perform the following steps in order for the ProCal II tool to communicate with the vehicle’s PCM:

1. Scroll down to “Diagnostics” and press ENTER.

2. Highlight “Select Protocol” and press ENTER.

3. Scroll to “SCP” and press ENTER.

You are now ready to reprogram your Lightning truck or Ford GT with the Ford Racing calibration. Again,

do NOT perform this step if your vehicle is a Mustang.

STEP 20A: Write down the values displayed for tire and axle for future reference in the event it is ever desired to return the vehicle to the stock calibration. If the vehicle has stock tires on the drive wheels and a stock axle ratio, skip to step 25A.

Use the Up/Down arrow keys to change tire revolutions per mile and press ENTER when desired revolutions per mile is obtained.

Note: Calculate revolutions per mile by dividing 63360 inches/mile (5280 feet/mile x 12 inches/foot) by the measured circumference of your tire (in inches).

STEP 25A:

For example, if the measured circumference of a tire on one of the vehicle's driven wheels is 84 inches, revolutions per mile for your tire size would be 754.

Another way to calculate this number is by utilizing the sizing information written on the side of the tire.

For a tire of the size P285/35-19, calculate tire revolutions per mile as follows:

Revs per mile = 20850 / { [ (2 * 285 * 35) / 2540] + 19 } = 776.4 which rounds down to 776.

After programming, if the speedometer indicates a different vehicle speed than a GPS unit, the programmed tire revolutions per mile can be tweaked to increase speedometer accuracy. For example,

If the calculated tire size is 776 revolutions per mile and a GPS unit says the vehicle is traveling 70 mph while the speedometer says 75 mph, simply multiply the calculated tire size by 75 / 70 to give 776 *

(75 / 70) = 831 revolutions per mile.

STEP 21A:

STEP 22A:

Use Down arrow key to highlight “Axle” and press ENTER to select.

Use Up/Down arrow keys to obtain desired axle ratio and press ENTER when complete.

STEP 23A: Use Down arrow key to highlight “Octane Adjust” and press ENTER to select.

STEP 24A: Use Up/Down arrow keys to toggle between Y or N and press ENTER to complete.

Important Note: Set this parameter to N initially. If you experience audible spark knock after programming your PCM with this setting, reprogram your PCM (steps 13 – 27A) and change this parameter to Y as soon as possible. If audible spark knock continues after setting this parameter to Y, call the Techline for assistance.

Use Down arrow key to highlight “SAVE CHANGES” and press ENTER to select and initiate programming.

ProCal II will initiate programming and display % complete for each reprogramming step. Please be patient and do NOT disconnect power, turn the ignition key off, or unplug the tool or you may need

to send your PCM back to Ford Racing for repair before the vehicle will start. “Update Complete” will be displayed for successful programming.
