ms700, Yes you are correct that is what David stated on the day, and I remember thinking at the time, that was an error on David's behalf.

I was going to clarify/correct that statement later on the day though unfortunatly I forgot, sorry if this has caused any confusion.

The Fitment of the Unichip computer will not cause an over boost fault code to be logged in the Ford PCM. 

I trust this clarifies the issue and again my apologies for the confusion.

On this thread you explain clearly that it does?

Mr Blackbird I'm assuming you mean...

FORDTECH, what you have stated is fair comment thought the point is the ford diagnostic tool does not detect the unichip computer, the stock computer does log some unusual codes such as high torbo pressure, though these codes are easily cleared through scan tools which we have. Without reverse engineering of the factory software any product which increases turbo pressure will generate the same code within the ford control unit. It's really no big deal as the issue is easy to deal with when the right diagnostic equipment is used to clear codes, this should be done previously to disposing of the vehicle.

Do you have acess to a WDS to check fault codes.

Yes we do. :lol:

Peter,

would a service manager tell you if they find a fault code?

Scotty CCC

Scotty, I assume you are referring to a Ford service manager, is this correct?

Good question and I dont know the answer to that, I do know that we check every xr6t that APS works on and that the Unichip computer does not cause a over boost fault code.

That's not to say that the xr6t wont ever develop a fault code into the future, I can only tell you what I know from our 18 months of experience working on the T. We never stop learning.

Yes Peter I meant a Ford service manager. I'm just unsure as to wether we (modified T owners ) are travelling along thinking that Ford are ignorant to our carry-on when they've been montioring & simply don't tell us until there's a need to rain on our parade.

I think that would depend greatly on the type of person your dealing with. It would vary from service manager to service manager I would think.

Scotty, I am sure that most Ford dealers are aware of what xr6t's have mods. I very much doubt that many service managers would notify you if they found a fault code, unless you were making a warranty claim.

This in my view is not a major problem as a modification to a car in itself does not void new car warranty. This is covered under the Federal trade practises act of 1974.

I think that members here would benefit greatly from a better understanding of ther rights under this act. Maybe it could be listed somewhere & people such as Peter/Lachan & others with experiance relating to it could shine some light onto it, thereby putting some confidence back to those members who lack the testicular fortitude/confidence to modify or make a claim
