The LC5A-13B626-AG LED module specifications state that coding is required after replacement. Arrange this before installation. For a different Mach-E lighting module, confirm the requirement for that exact component and vehicle application.
Fitting the component, completing its electronic setup and verifying lighting operation are separate parts of the replacement process.
What does coding mean after replacement?
Coding or configuration refers to the applicable electronic setup needed for the replacement component. Programming, initialisation and calibration may describe different operations; they are not interchangeable instructions.
The required operation should come from the service procedure for the vehicle and module concerned. A procedure used for another Ford lighting controller may not apply.
What should you arrange before installation?
Give the repairer the component and vehicle details so they can confirm the replacement requirements in advance.
| Information | What it establishes |
| Original and replacement module references | Which component is being replaced and whether the proposed replacement is appropriate. |
| VIN and fitted headlamp specification | The vehicle application for the service procedure. |
| Whether the replacement is new or previously used | Any component-specific restrictions or setup requirements to check. |
| Required configuration operation | Whether the repairer has the necessary equipment and procedure. |
If the replacement reference is uncertain, use the Mach-E LED headlight module identification guide before arranging coding.
Is LC5A-13B626-AG plug-and-play?
Do not plan the replacement as an installation-only job. The FoMoCo LC5A-13B626-AG LED module specifications state that coding is required.
A connector fitting correctly, or a light switching on, does not establish that the required setup is complete. Confirm the coding operation and subsequent checks with the repairer.
Can FORScan or FDRS perform the coding?
Tool suitability depends on the exact operation required. Reading diagnostic trouble codes does not establish that the same equipment can complete replacement configuration.
Ask the repairer to confirm support for the applicable procedure. Do not assume that a generic reset, copied As-Built data or VIN-writing instruction is appropriate for this LED module.
How is completion verified?
After installation and the required configuration:
- Check the lighting functions relevant to the fitted assembly.
- Reassess diagnostic faults.
- Confirm that the original symptom has been resolved.
These checks should cover dipped beam, main beam, daytime running lights and indicators where applicable. A cleared dashboard warning alone does not confirm a completed repair.
If the fault remains, establish whether configuration completed successfully before assuming the replacement needs further coding. Incorrect fitment, connections or an unresolved lamp fault may require investigation.
