Ford vehicles. If the vehicle in question cannot be found in the list, it is possible to 
establish communication by entering the PCM part number, calibration number or tear 
tag (= label on the PCM) number.  

NOTE:  The Mazda PCM part number has to be modified : 

18-881 of Mazda part number will be replaced with 12A650, 
e.g. “L813-18-881-D” is converted to “L813-12A650-D” 

NOTE:  When communication is established via the manual vehicle entry function, the option 

“Module Programming” in the Toolbox menu is inoperable.
