Sport Mode in 2013 PP SHO

jmr061 · October 04, 2014, 01:34:29 PM

So far from the cars that have the message display versus those that don't it appears to be a manufacture date issue. Job 1 (first production run) doesn't show the message and Job 2 does.

I am asking that members with the PP send me the following from the IPC engineering mode:

Pressing and holding the left "OK" button for five seconds while starting the vehicle gets the IPC into engineering mode. Then use the left pad up and down arrows to toggle to different displays on the left side of the IPC. There should be one that lists part no, core, Cal# and ECU software. Could you give me the numbers from those. Provide your VIN number and whether or not yours displays the advancetrac sport mode message.

Thanks

This appears to be a programming/software issues with the early (possibly all job 1 SHOs). Anyone know a contact at ford to pass this along too?

Maybe the Livernois guys might know?

All I have to do to turn off AdvanceTrak is hit 100 MPH....

I've hit 140 almost every night this last week and never once had it turn off advance trak lol. Wonder why mine doesn't. I had really bad traction that I couldn't drive around, till torrie worked it out.

WAS- that's not the issue we're concerned with.

If anyone has any Ford contacts please let us know so maybe we can address this issue.

Post info up on FordTaurus.net. Ford has customer service reps that monitor the forums who can submit a case.

I sent them a PM. Generally their response is contact ur dealer but I expressed my concern in doing that and that I am much better versed in the issue than the dealer ever would be

Ugh!!! I spent hours trying to get my cluster to say sport mode when I got mine new 2 years ago.

For the record, mine is doing the same as discussed above. It never says sport mode.

I will update the thread with my engineering data after work.

I am able to get mine into AdvanceTrac Sport Mode while driving. It works when going under 45mph. Don't even have to hit the brakes.

And I have to say it's an educated guess that our early ones are actually going into as the traction symbol in the right stays lit it's just we don't get the message on the left. After I hit it twice quick and believe I am in sport mode, I hit the button to turn it off and the message advancetrack on pops up on the left.
