Ford MEDG17.0 boot connection

Connector reference and boot-pin locations for the Ford Bosch MEDG17.0 ECU. The MEDG17.0 read protocol has been verified working by Redline Autohaus.

1. Connector reference

Match the connector orientation to the diagram: B2 is on the left and B1 on the right. The marked power, ground and CAN positions are on B1. Use the matching boot harness for your tool.

Red marks the power feeds, black marks ground, and white/green mark the CAN pair. Match the CAN H/L connections to your tool's harness.

Reading the ECU

  1. Confirm the ECU label says Bosch MEDG17.0 and the board matches these images.
  2. With the ECU powered off, connect the matching harness and locate the marked boot pad.
  3. Select Ford and MEDG17.0 in your tool, then follow its boot-lead and power-on prompts.
  4. Run the supported read operation and save the original file before disconnecting.

Coverage

This guide applies to Ford MEDG17.0 only. Verification here covers the read protocol; it does not establish write or unlock support. Use the tool's instructions for boot-lead connection and timing.

Identify the unit from its ECU label and board layout, rather than the vehicle model alone.
