it generally seems to be any between 1996-2000
have done a few focus`s without issues but ka,fiesta
no joy, ids finds later calibration file but then gives that error

you know you get different menu items when you plug into different fords, well, different cars use different programming systems, perhaps your VCM has problems with the older PCM programming system..... genuine VCM?
