Today I’m going to use the Autel MaxiIM IM608 diagnostic tool to do a parameter reset for a 2008 Ford E350. I just reprogrammed a used PCM for this vehicle, so the red light keeps blinking on the dashboard. That is the anti-theft system functions, which is not letting the vehicle start.

All I have to do is to reset the parameter, here we go to the Autel IM608 scanner.

IMMO >> Accept >> VIN >> Auto detect >> Ford(USA)

Manual selection >> Ford >> USA >> E-series >> 2008-2009 Blade Key

Immobilizer(CAN) >> Immobilizer remote control learning >> Parameter reset

Turn the ignition on, press "OK”.

Warning: You should only perform this procedure if you have replaced either the PCM or PATS on this vehicle. Press "Yes” to continue.

Learning successful, press "OK” to complete.

It is surprisingly quick, now the red light is off.

I’m gonna turn off the ignition to see if the light has gone. All right, it is completely off.

As you can see, Autel IM608 Scan Tool does do a parameter reset in 3 minutes.

To obdstar users: regarding the problem "Unfortunately, DiagProgam has stopped.” that frequently appears recently, it is caused by compatibility issues.

A new apk version v3.8.1 has been released this week to solve this problem. (Note: The solution is applied to any of x300dp, x300 dp plus, odomaster, x300pro4.)

For the obdstar machine which update service is valid, you can directly upgrade the apk to solve this problem.

For the obdstar machine which update service expired, please clear the cache to solve the problem, the drawback is that this problem may occur repeatedly, because there is no way to upgrade the new apk v3.8.1 after the expiration, you have to clear the cache repeatedly.

Please look at the last paragraph on how to clear the cache.

Attention Please:

Never restore factory settings, otherwise the software will be lost and there is no way to restore it.

Guide on how to clear the cache:

Enter ” DiagProgam”, long press it and drag it into "App Info”

In the APP info, tap "Clear data” and "Yes” to confirm.

Okay, the catche is cleared, and the problem is solved. However, please keep in mind, better continue subscribing the update service and update the newest APK.
