Good luck!

I got the VDM and the connectors.  I ran power and CAN2 (from the headlight control module) to the unit.   The car does not see the VDM according to forescan.

The VDM is powered up, I got 5v on the height sensor reference voltage pin. 

I reversed the CAN2 wires just to make sure.  The wiring diagrams have the + and - switched sometimes.

I put a cheap scope on the CAN2 wires and it looks like I have the right ones.

I think there may be a setting in a module somewhere that tells the car that VDM is part of the allowed configuration.

I tried changing the setting in the IPC that turns on the display part and it would not write.  It gave a module configuration error.

Not sure what to do next.  I only found one reference to "Continuously Variable Suspension" on all the usual forescan type sites.  It is for the IPC part.

I did not get it to show up.  I confirmed that it was powered up and I am 99% sure that the CAN2 was hooked up properly as well.  I assume that the profile characteristics are in as built database.  I cannot figure out how to fool the system.  

It would be interesting to compare my 2019 ST with a 2019 Nautilus with and without Adaptive suspension. 

Can we still get the as built data by VIN number?  I don't remember how to view the as built data, can someone remind me?

Yes. Go to https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt/. Enter the VIN number and complete the security check. Use AsBuilt Explorer by Compulsive Code to compare.

HAZ, do you have access to the wiring diagram that will give me the part number for the female connector?  Is is C4044, left rear damper solenoid.

 

@johnmarkp: Just noticed this and I don't believe I fulfilled it -- attached below as PDF document(s)...

 

Good luck!
