ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[SharkAttack]

Now trying to PMI the APIM which the dealer couldn't do and what got me started down this whole road. Everything appeared to download correctly, but after 20-30 minutes the truck says Usb Error. This is beyond frustrating... I just want my cameras in motion back.

Has anyone tried going step by step with this vid to get past 1.7.1 ?

Yeah, it works.

Yeah, it works.

Did you stop once you successfully made it through 1.7.1 and let OTA's take over or did you update to the latest and get blue cruise?

I don't think anyone has confirmed for sure yet, but it appears anything older than 2.3.x is no longer being sent by ford. I think the plan is that any dealer who does the TSB to get the updates unstuck, should finish any OTAs that were missed. If you use FDRS, best to get to 2.3.x while you are in there, after that OTAs should take over.

Yeah, I know its crazy, job 2 trucks APIM update give a USB error no matter what. I have tried a million times to update a job 2 apim and never fails to error out at the end. Ford has a real freaking mess on their hands with all of this crap. They are proving to be less than competent. Ive tried every USB I have and even USB C since its 14gb it takes a while to download and copy.

In fact i just got working on this again today trying to update an APIM for JOb 2 files.

Yep I had this EXACT problem, creepy AF (the lights). Restore your As-Built from Forscan, give the module a reboot after and you'll be right as rain.

Ohhh, well in that case @Jesse-Infotainment is there a way to restore as-builts if they didn't have them saved before hand?

No, but if it hasnt been long enough to self report you may be lucky and select load factory data and write all.

Not all trucks are the same. What is your vin

Actually if you just drive around for 30 minutes the TPMS should recalibrate itself and be happy. I ordered the special tool to program them, and by time it arrived the BCM had already self-taught itself.

@Jesse-Infotainment

[ogor6037]
