Post When to activate FA?

Hi Shawn,

After seeing a handful of video I see some people activate FA right after they Read FA, some people in our forum also do this as well whereas others activate FA after edit FDL.

In the E-sys guidance tells us to Activate FA after Edit FDL.

So When should I activate FA?

Thanks man!

Makes no difference before or after, so long as you activate FA before using Code FDL. Personally, I always Read FA, and Activate FA immediately upon connecting to car.

Thanks Shawn! Appreciated your quick reply!

Do you have any idea on how to code a used steering rack on F30? Mine got damage and needed to be replaced but I have to idea how to code it after installation. Been scratching the forum but the procedure seems to be vague especially with the servotronic.

Install EPS, Inject CAFD, and VO Code it, and if it needs FSC Code, it must be Imported into EPS But if your EPS has factory issued FSC Code, and donor EPS also has one that is newer, you can't use it.

Is this the correct procedure to VO code Eps?

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read SVT (VCM) => Right-Click on ECU (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE

For Importing FSC, I find it very vague!

Do you have a proper procedure?

Thanks man!

Yes. Read SVT (VCM) is now Read (ECU).

Do you even know if you need an FSC Code?

I literally have no idea if I need an FSC Code TBH. I just asked as following the instruction you gave me above!

Is there a way to know whether or not if I need an FSC Code?

Thanks man!

PM me your VIN (last 7).

And also the Donor EPS VIN if you know it.

Unless it needs to be 4 replies in a single forum (x3 vs m2), i should have hit that this morning. Maybe it's just slow?
