SCT XCalibrator 2 (Ford 9400) - Manual (Page 2)

Once the Xcalibrator 2 has been used to program a vehicle, the flashing capability will be locked to that vehicle until that
vehicle has been put back to stock. Once the first vehicle was put to stock, the Xcalibrator 2 can be reprogrammed for another
compatible Ford vehicle by any SCT dealer.
Error Recovery:
In the event the Xcalibrator2 does not successfully flash the vehicle, it will display a error message on the LCD display. If this
occurs, you will want to recover the EEC by turning the key off, following the menu options to Program Vehicle, and under
Program Option, choose the “Return to Stock” option. This will install the stock file back into the vehicle and allow you to
attempt to reflash the vehicle with the custom program.
Data Logging:
The Xcalibrator 2 can be used as a high speed data logger on any Ford based OBD2 vehicle. A standard USB cable is needed
to connect the Xcalibrator 2 to a PC using the Live Link Software available for download on our website www.sctflash.com
Data Logging is not locked to a certain vehicle and can be used on any compatible vehicle at any time.
Analog Inputs:
The Xcalibrator 2 can data log auxiliary analog inputs from 0-5 volts. You will need a 9 pin mini Din connector for the
application. This cable is available from your SCT dealer.
