INTRODUCTION

APPLICATIONOVERVIEW

Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) uses Ford proprietary software to run on a Windows based PC
(Laptop,MiniLaptop,Desktop,Netbooks,etc.)withtheVehicleCommunicationModule(VCM),andthe
VehicleMeasurementModule(VMM).
NOTE: Throughout this manual the term "VCM" refers to both the VCM and VCM II unless specific reference is
madetoaparticularinterfacedevice.Foradditionalinformation,seetheVCMorVCMIIHardwareManual.

A comprehensive, indepth tutorial, IDS training course is available online (see web links below). The
IDStrainingcoursecoversIDSinstallation,setup,updates,aswellasbasictoolfunctionsusingtheVCM
andVMMindiagnosingvehiclesandmuchmore.
