B2477-60: Module configuration fault. 2014 Mustang GT.

Yesterday I hooked my Thinktool Pros scan tool up to my Mustang to see if it had the capability to change the tire size since I have larger wheels and tires on the car. I did a full scan just for the heck of it and this code came up.

I bought this car new and the only thing that I could think of that could possibly cause this code is that I did have both airbags replaced under the airbag recall. I have not had any other modules replaced. Car only has about 34,000 miles on it.

Do you guys think that it's possible that the airbags were not configured correctly? Is there anything else that could cause this fault to show up. This did not set off the CEL so I have no idea how long I've had this code stored. Thanks.

I believe the B2477-60 code is for EATC (Electronic Automatic Temperature Control) Module (the B2477 part being the configuration error fault and the -60 pointing to it being in the EATC module specifically) - so if I understand it correctly it's saying you have a configuration fault in that module. I typically use my Forscan software and ObdLink EX cable on fords. I know in it, I can go in to the ABS module's AS Built and "download from internet" (ford) the factory as built data for the EATC module for that vehicle and write it to the module, but I am unsure what the capabilities of your scan tool are. Maybe it was replaced at some point without your knowledge by the dealership? and the code was never cleared? I'd try clearing the code if your thinktool can clear it. (Side Note: Forescan should be able to change the tire/wheel size also)

Thanks for that information. I have tried clearing the code a couple of times but it won't clear. I bought the car with 22 miles on it so unless it was bad before I got it, I don't believe it has ever been replaced.

My scan tool was not able to change the tire size and I'm not sure if it can rewrite info to any of the modules. I may have to go the Forscan route. I have read that Forscan is now very picky on what cable you use with it. Do you have a link for the one you use? Thanks.

If you already have a J-Box you can use Forscan with it. If you need to buy something get an OBDLink EX or MX+. EX is cheaper if you're gonna run Forscan on Windows and don't mind being tethered.

Thanks for the info and link. Unfortunately, the link will not open for me for some reason. The website doesn't open and the blue circle just goes round and round and never opens. I currently don't have a lap top and my tablet I have is older and I don't think it supports bluetooth. I don't think forscan light for Android will do the things I would need it to do from the sounds of it.

The one I have: (EX)

The MX Matt Mentioned:

The MX wasn't out when I bought my cable - at the time it was the "Best" cable on the market and wired wise it probably still is if not then 2nd (don't cheap out and get one with a switch - I've used one a friend had it was annoying switching back and forth). oh and if you get one, check obdlink's website they have updated the firmware for my EX cable several times...definitely want to be on the latest firmware...the obdlink ones also come with a free copy of OBDWIZ scantool software (the serial key for it is printed on the card in the package your cable comes in) that you can unlock other upper level/advanced scanning features for. I have the professional unlock for GM vehicles as I work on those a lot (it only gives access to full PID list, no bi-directional controls as far as I have seen while using the obdwiz software).

THE biggest thing I can say with forescan is (1.) ALWAYS save a backup of your current configuration before making any changes. (2.) Don't forget to hit the stop/end button before you go to a different tab otherwise you will probably have to go back to that tab to "end" doing what you were doing in there before it will let you do something in another tab (gets annoying trying to figure out why it won't let you do anything...learned the hard way). (3.) Read, read read on their forums before you make changes especially if it requires you to change as built code manually. (most of the popular mods are already coded) (4.) until you get "comfortable with Forescan, make one change, then test things out make sure the change was correct and didn't cause any issues anywhere else. (5.) search their forum first and look for a spreadsheet for your year/model of vehicle...if you can't find one then ask, but search first.

Thanks for this info. I did find the obdlink mx+ on Amazon before you posted this reply.

I was looking at my scan data again and realized that the B2477-60 code was in the Front Display Interface Module(FDIM). I wasn't sure what that actually was until I did some research and it's the radio display module which is separate from the main radio unit.
I did have this module replaced under warranty back when the car was new due to a delaminated display screen.

My scan tool does give me the option to program this module so I may try doing so and see what happens. Hopefully it won't screw anything up.

I did the reprogramming today and it appears it was a success. The code was able to be cleared and was gone when I did a rescan. I did manually input the original ASBUILT data from the motorcraftservice.com website and I did end up losing a couple of things that had appeared in the display after the dealer had replaced the original FDIM module like the word "Mustang" that would appear on the screen when turning on the radio and the separation line next to the outside temperature display. No big losses, I guess. Anyway, it's fixed.

NIce, Glad you were able to get it fixed

side note .... if you really want it back forscan could probably get that mustang part back...I know on my friends 2013 F150 FX4 I changed his startup screen on the gauges to the Ford Raptor startup logo. that program never ceases to amaze me what it can do on Ford and Mazda vehicles....if only there was one like that for GM vehicles (me being a gm guy and all) I'd pay whatever they asked for that level of access.

Thanks. I did end up downloading Forscan onto my notepad and got the 2 month free extended license. I also ordered the obdlink EX cable.

I may try adding those two things back in once I get forscan up and running but I'm curious if it will cause an error code again since those two things are not original to my car.

well nice thing with forescan is if you load that and it for some reason does, you can always change it back. I bought the EX cable and bought the lifetime license ( $75, which I don't think they offer anymore) because I had used the free license a couple times and decided I wanted to compensate them for the work they have done and hopefully keep them interested in continuously updating and improving the forscan software. And well lets face it, where are you going to find any other hardware software package out there for $160 that will do as much as forescan can....I bought a VX DIAG VCX Nano for GM vehicles that ran me $130 and it can't do anywhere near what forscan can do as far as option/feature changes etc....that and it is ridiculously finicky to use.

I have always heard great things about forscan but never tried it. The only issue I may run into is that my wifi is not that great and I will have to park the car right out in front of the house and hope the wifi signal reaches.

I'm not sure if they have lifetime licenses any more. I saw one for a year. I should get my cable tomorrow so I will probably hook it up and see what info it provides and what it can do. Thanks for all of your help.

unless you need to download default parameters from ford for something, you should be able to use forscan without a wifi signal....I use it all the time at the shop without wifi/internet connected.

Lifetime License - yeah I saw that the other day...it was available for years, I was surprised to see it wasn't available anymore...guess I'm glad I got it when I did. either way for me using at the shop 4-5 times a year, it's paid for itself easily for me, and if I didn't have the lifetime one, I'd pay for the annual subscription just to support them for how awesome a product they have, maintain and update.

Ok, thanks. That is good to know about the wifi. I can't wait to try forscan out.

So I got forscan up and running and went in to try and change the tire size but could not find the right module section that online info has for changing tire size using forscan. I guess I'm just going to leave the tire size thing alone for now.
