IDS is enhanced WDS software that was modified to run on a standard laptop platform, and utilizes the VCM and VMM. One IDS Package is recommended for each WDS in the dealership. As the new diagnostic tool, IDS will be required to perform diagnostics on future model year vehicles. The IDS application will perform the identical functions of the WDS and allows dealership technicians to diagnose and service Ford, Lincoln, Mercury vehicles. The intended use of the Permanent DTC is to prevent vehicles from passing an in-use inspection simply by disconnecting the battery or clearing DTCs with a scan tool prior to the inspection.
The IDS package replaces the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS). Permanent DTCs will be displayed on Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) beginning with release R104. The Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) will be the only equipment that provides complete diagnostic coverage of current and future Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles in North America.
