Hi all!

I got one s-max cluster to play around. After connecting it to UCDS, there was something strange - vbf loader didn't want to insert SBL, but under update wizard (S-max 2015>) it found all files(same) and started programming, all good but after finish - nothing. Dash just blinks the illumination for few seconds (after ign on) and then stops to send CAN msgs and goes dark. I tried update wizard, vbf loader, dead module... nothing -> it sees the dash, goes to load SBL and fails. When i poll the module first second after ign on it sees some info, after 5 seconds it sees nothing.
on first poll screenshot -> 1st try is after few seconds, then the second with some info is right after i reset everything and send ign on again.

then when just woken up it shows some info and dtc-s....
before i tried updating it it was working but sometimes maybe crashes like this - just illumination blinking, resets on its own after a period of time. reset by software wasn't helping.

Failed to load SBL! Error: Conditions Not Correct [0x22]

Any ideas? Dash is same as mondeo mk5...

What can message are you sending to ipc for ignition on
Also just check the can connections allso add a 120 ohm resistor across can buss,,
The other thing inside on right near sound there is 3 test points rx tx g connect uart then use putty terminal see im the MB86R03

Don't understand what exactly you mean. Cluster shows DTC and shows some info about files, but as seen in picture - 3 of files are not there.

maybe it helps, firstly upload all calibration files,after that unplug ipc from battery (just disconect), for 2 mins cca but ucds let it still run, then plug back ipc and upload just sbl and ECU calibration file, unplug it again..may it works... few times and did that and it revive dead ipc from mondeo mk5 (2017)
fingers crossed
