2020-2021 Ford Connect directly to the ECM connector Starts with "40"
2022 Ford (Level1) Connect to the OBD port Starts with "37"
2022 Ford (ECM swap) Connect to the 21 ECM connector Starts with "40"

⚠️ ECM serials differ between OBD and direct connections. Verify connection method before submission.
