Genisys Scan Tool Question – Flashing/Re-Programing Modules

Question:Will the Genisys Scan Tool with an 07 software update, flash the Electronic Power train Module on a 2001 Ford Windstar?  Will it also read out the ABS module program and reload in a replacement ABS module?  Will it do the same on GM vehicles?

Answer: The OTC Genisys scanner does not have any flashing or re-programming capability.  As far as I am aware, manufacturer specific or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) scan tools are the only ones capable of this. The manufacturer specific scan tool for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury is the New Generation Star (NGS).
