Ford IDS Calibration Files v81: What You Need to Know
If you are looking for a diagnostic tool that can provide complete coverage of current and future Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles in North America, you may want to check out the Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) [^1^] [^2^]. The IDS is a software application that replaces the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) and allows dealership technicians to diagnose and service Ford, Lincoln, Mercury vehicles. As the new diagnostic tool, IDS will be required to perform diagnostics on future model year vehicles.
However, to use the IDS effectively, you will also need the calibration files that are compatible with your IDS version. Calibration files are binary files that contain the data and instructions for updating the software of a vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU). Calibration files can fix bugs, improve performance, or add new features to your vehicle's ECU.
