KAFAS2 FSC Loading

This document provides steps to load any FSC codes from any VIN onto a KAFAS2 ECU. It details downloading an unused 2016 ECU to test loading FSC codes without using the VIN it came with. The steps show using E-Sys software to inject CAFD, check for missing FSC codes, flash the ECU to the latest version, and then load all 3 FSC codes from the original ECU onto the new ECU. After loading each FSC code and clearing faults, the new ECU is fully functioning with FSC codes from a different VIN, disproving the need to purchase OEM codes for your specific VIN.

Load and import useable FSC on any KAFAS2 ECU

Background

When I first started exploring the KAFAS2 retrofit one of my biggest


worries was how to get all 3 FSC codes loaded and accepted without
having to spend another £300 buying them for my VIN. There is a lot of
misinformation floating around the forums with people saying that you
can’t update the ECU as the FSC codes will drop and they won’t work
as there is VIN checking or whatever in newer versions of the KAFAS2
software. This is complete rubbish. Today after a lot of research I
received a second KAFAS2 ECU in the post. I bought this as a test
module to prove or disprove whether you can load any FSC codes from
any VIN into the ECU. As my current KAFAS2 is working perfectly with 3
FSC codes preset, loaded and accepted from the donor vehicle I
wanted a test unit so I didn’t burn my FSC’S. I found a 2016 ECU for
£40 and it arrived today.

I got to work straight away.

Step 1

I plugged the unit into the car, flashed up E-Sys and found the ECU. I
injected the CAFD as it was missing as it had come from an F15.

Step 2

Check FSC status.

Load up the FSC tab from the comfort section of E-Sys and put 0x5D in
the address box as below, press identify and KAFAS2 should self
populate in the base variant box. Then simply press Check FSC Status.
The picture below is to show how it should look. I didn’t take a
screenshot of the FSC when I first started but there were only 2 FSC
present, 7E and BE. WBAHT720405F59814 is the VIN if you want to
check.
Step 3

I calculated a TAL and flashed the ECU to the latest I-Level, I have 19/03
data.

Step 4

After the flash I decided that I would attempt to load the FSC from my
current KAFAS2 as it came with all 3 FSC. Here comes the fun bit as it
disproves everyone’s theory about needing emulators and expensive
OEM FSC codes for you VIN.

FSC Loading

Step 1

Proceed as follows

Expert mode -> FSC Extended

0x5D -> identify


Action pane

WriteDataByIdentifierVIN -> Enter FSC LongVIN -> Start

Check window, it should display as below (ignore the part about


address, I missed a step)
Next load the FSC code in the FSC window. XXXXXXX_00BE0001.fsc

Store FSC -> Start

It should display as below.

E-Sys -> Comfort Mode -> FSC

Open E-Sys options, click FSC tab and load the .der (certificate)

XXXXXXX_00BE0001.der
Next load the FSC file again XXXXXXX_00BE0001.fsc

Read FA

Enter full 17 digit VIN from FSC


Input 0x5D, 0xBE, 0x01 click identify

Check FSC Status: Loaded OK

Upgrade FSC (NEVER UPDATE FSC)

Then check for FSCStatus Accepted


Repeat steps above for all FSC codes. On completion remove entry
from Application Number box and check FSC Status again. You should
now see all 3 FSC accepted as below.

On completion clear any faults with ISTA+

I had to inject CAFD again using E-Sys and VO Code, I think this was a
step I missed after I flashed the ECU.

You should now have a fully functioning KAFAS2 ECU with 7E,BE,BF
FSC codes loaded.
