    Ignition Cycle Timed Out 09 F-150

    Trying to read the VCM on a 2009 F-150 5.4l and keep getting the error "IGNITION CYCLE TIMED OUT" can anyone help?

    That is an ECM/TCM that hptuners does not support and it is totally different than the 2008 F150 PCM

    Are you closing the ignition switch then opening it again when prompted?

    If there anything like some of our Aussie Fords then battery voltage goes a long way to solving alot of the problems.

    I don't think the 09 F-series PCM is supported yet.

    Check to see if the programming wire is cut. Possibly pin #13. When programming it should see 18v on it.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Yeah ford went to a new pcm mid 2009, the newest beta should be able to read them though
