Hey did anyone manage to dump a pam module

Unfortunately not. Shure you can get a part from the VBF, but to gain all you need some way to get it from the on-chip flash.

Actually, yes, we have the dumps on this topic - last message on the first page, message written by drobec.eu.

M0 Tr Al firmware update does nothing special to PAM. It only updates the FW to a Ford unaltered newer version.

The update may be necessary for the optical PDC to work, because older versions do not send sensordata onto MS-CAN, they only beep I know this because we had this problem lately on the Forum. It is also true for all preFacelift Mondeos.

But i thought the reason why he is asking is because he need to rebuild it from scratch of a bricked device?

How did you manage to dump, I have auto pam which turns on my parking mode when I'm below 9mph I want to see what he edited/added to the pam module as I dont know why it needed a reflash of pam for autopam, if my gateway fails I loose my parking mode I also get an error code for pam

I have never seen a module for auto pam, but it seems to me that it is some kind of controler (adruino?) that waits for 0-10 mph to run PAM via can. it rather has nothing to do with the PAM software. and here is a link showing how easy it is to do:

Isn't it that way that you need the Mod on your Convers+ to use Auto-PAM at all? If so, it will be simply controlled by a routine in the cluster, not the PAM itself. Yeah and also it could be done by any external application like an Arduino with MCP2515 shield. For me, it did not investigate on this, how to activate PAM by CAN only... maybe somebody else know how?

github.com/alexandreblin/python-can-monitor
here is a nice sort script. push few time PAM button .. maybe like that. should be visible on the monitor

Did you sort out which message to send on which ID to activate PAM?
The point is that the PAM-Button is directly connected to the module, so there is no CAN init of PAM. Maybe if we do this with reverse gear, because that defintively activates it.
PAM itself then sends on ID 131 of MS-CAN.

Yes I have this autopam if we can find a way to dump my pam module then I can post it on here for us to play with,
Ps autopam is great but the beeping got annoying so I removed sounders and put a 120k resistor across the wires tricked the system to think the sounders are there
