FG Falcon FoA Orion


Donate to the FG Falcon Repository
The Ford Falcon is a full-sized car that was produced by Ford Australia from 2008 to 2014. It was the first iteration of the seventh and last generation of the Falcon. To make a fresh start, Ford Australia decided to revolutionize the designation of all models within the range. In particular, the long-standing Futura, Fairmont, and Fairmont Ghia models were replaced by the more contemporary G6 and G6 E models, respectively. The FG moniker references the now discontinued Fairmont Ghia. The FG was superseded in December 2014, by the FG X series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Falcon_(FG)

Orion CANBus

Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. This consists of two twisted wires and operates serially (data is transmitted sequentially). It is used for communication between the modules themselves and between the modules and the IDS. The modules are connected to the data bus in parallel. New modules can be incorporated easily, without modifying the other wiring or modules. The transmitted data is received by every module connected to the Controller Area Network (CAN). As each data packet has an identifier, in which the priority of the message is determined as well as the content identification, each module can detect whether or not the data is relevant for its own information processing. This enables several modules to be addressed with a particular data packet and supplied with data simultaneously. For this purpose, it is ensured that important data (for example from the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)) is transmitted first. The other modules are only able to submit their data to the data bus after the high-priority messages have been received. In order to guarantee a high degree of error protection, two 120 Ohm terminating resistors are installed in the CAN. These are integrated in the first module connected to the CAN and in the last module connected to the CAN respectively and are used for suppression as well as the elimination of voltage peaks. In order to ensure correct functioning of the data bus system, the modules must always be connected with an integral terminating resistor.

Module Configuration [As Built Data]

Diagnostic Services 0x21 readDataByLocalId, 0x3B writeDataByLocalId are generally what is used to read and write the As Built data. Ford's Diagnostic software IDS & FJDS have the capability to read and write to these memory locations, as does the FORScan software. The Vehicle Identification Number isgenerally at memory location 0x00 on each ECU, and can be read via readDataByLocalId with a can message ie $7A6#0221000000000000 will ask the FDIM for its coded VIN number. To write a VIN you generally need to have had securityAccess granted via a seed & key exchange.

Module Diagnostics

The module diagnostic's on the FGI Falcon are very much aligned to ISO 14230 - KWP2000, however they are Ford Specific and the designated specification that the FGI Falcon was designed to is Ford's CAN Generic Diagnostic Specification v2001/V2003. There are some differences between the ford global specification and the diagnostic services on the vehicle. Beyond the diagnostics of the Ford Motor Company lies the component manufacturer diagnostics. Unknown and not accessible via Ford Diagnostic software, there are unknowns to be found within the vehicleManufacturerSpecific and systemSupplierSpecific diagnostic sessions, accessible on some modules without security access, some with hidden seed & key exchanges - and possibly with CAN Calibration protocol. Some of the component manufacturers are no longer around with respect to this vehicle, (SWSA), some have been renamed (VDO) and some are still around (Bosch). If anyone wants to share their secret documents, feel free to get in touch on ford forums au.
