ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Jesse-Infotainment]

Not sure if that is it but my truck is a job 1 truck with auto updates greyed out so I am stuck on that level but the TSB didn't work kept giving fastboot errors no matter what I did or what computer I used that it didn't detect that it was connected in spite of being connected and windows making the dingle that it was connected to something.

Oh yeah, then you are doing the 21146 update.. IT will take a while to kick off. Youll have to drive around until it decides to. No telling when it will decide to

I know it interrupts progress, but just leave that usb stick in the truck and return to using the truck normally.
It WILL initiate. You just don't know when.

Once it does, your truck will exit update-hades and you are in total control of its software destiny.

Edit: Jesse was typing while I was typing. So I'm just an echo. Lol

Just saw that a NEW trailer module update is available in FDRS as of this morning. I wonder if this is the Recall fix.

Anyone know how to do a hard reset using FDRS that we are instructed to do after 21G01?

@Fordphanatic Oh how I hope so. Not because I need a fix real bad, but rather I'm weary of the gnashing of teeth related. ?

Ohhhhh? @JEB is the resident trailer expert I'm sure he'll chime in soon.

I wouldn't mind it being THE fix, I got a week long trip with my TT in a couple of weeks! I haven't had trouble yet, but still!

I ran the TRM software update. I don't know if it is the fix. My software version changed from AB to BB.

I don’t remember anyone else requiring a master reset to get BC working, I didn’t. I believe a master reset is a hard reset.

A soft reboot should be sufficient.

For vehicles equipped with a volume/power and right seek button, press and hold both the volume/power and right seek button for 10 seconds and the system will reboot.

Agreed, I'll try that, this is the wording on 21G01 after all of the modules have been updated

"Perform a hard reset from FDRS Main Menu to reset sync (otherwise hands-free option will not be visible)"

Really? Then you guys are in a lot of trouble.

Anyway, I just talked to @Jesse-Infotainment and he confirmed for me that there is new TRM software available for my truck. It dropped this morning and will take my software version from -BA to -BB. Whether it’s “the“ fix or not is unclear but it is an update from what I got in February.

I just got back from a trip and won’t have another towing opportunity coming up for another two weeks, so I won’t be able to test it. Since I have time, I plan to do the unthinkable—let the dealer install it. It’s the only way I can be sure to clear the pesky recall notification.

My Job1 2022 had that BB TRM update available while it was still riding the train to the dealership. Not sure why it's just now dropping for others

Coupe of thoughts on that. Ford did reprogram some vehicles that were still in production when the issue was confirmed. So you might have gotten it early. You probably also had a later hardware revision and Ford needed to make sure that it worked on earlier revisions.

I know this has been asked 100 times, I have 3 modules that show up orange after a network scan, do i select them and PMI?

Depends on why it’s orange. You haven’t said. Not knowing the exact DTC, I’d first go to vehicle identification, then click CMDTCs and then select clear and retest. See if they come back green.
