Request VIN Lookup Thread

[rugedraw]

@rugedraw when you have a chance can you look up my buddys vin please. I just updated his dsp in FDRS and I wanted to make sure it took. It seemed like it but still shows as an update. Thanks! 1FTEW1EP5NKD16098

It's a known issue with that update. It applies successfully, but does not come off FDRS. PTS shows you did it twice and it went through both times.

He had the popping/static through the speakers issue?

You have a 2023, so you're fully up to date as far as OTA's go. The 4.3.x updates are only for 2021 trucks, I believe. Maybe 2022, as well, but definitely not for 2023 trucks.

Well I hadn't thought of that.
If it's true that a Job2 2022 isn't going to get 4.3.X, I'm no longer envious of Big Dog Daddys OTA prowess. ?

From the data I've collected:

3.5.2 = 2021-2022

3.5.3 = 2021 3.5.3.2 = 2022

3.5.4 = 2021-2022

4.2.1 = All

4.2.2 = 2021-2022 4.2.1.2 = 2023

4.2.3 = 2021-2022 4.2.2.1 = 2023

4.2.4 = 2021-2022 4.2.2.2 = 2023

The 4.3.x updates are still relatively new with a small sample size, but they seem to be only going out to 2021 trucks.

Thank you for the quick response. Looks like I got some pending updates. I'll wait patiently and see if it will update via OTA ?

I don't know what happened, but your truck is definitely not happy. The list of codes it spit out don't even fit in one screenshot. It seems to have been fine the day before yesterday, and one from one day to the next, it went nuts.

It may just be a bad battery, but it is weird that it never recorded any low voltage DTC's prior to 6/27.

 

[R. Schwint]

Thanks. The truck has been an issue, and every time I go to the Dealer they always say they can not find anything wrong and the truck has no codes showing anything wrong. Just wanted some independent documentation this time.

They weren't lying. I can only see 60 days worth of DTC history in PTS and your DTC history was very clean before whatever happened two days ago.

I'll try not to overwhelm you, but there is no short version. Your truck is very out of date. However, it is getting updates, which is good. The last OTA your truck was sent was 2.8.1 back in April and it failed to install from what seems to be the previous owner being naive to the OTA process. That particular update requires the truck to be parked and inhibited for over an hour while it installs. In many cases, this particular update fails due to the battery dropping in voltage during the install process. It is highly recommended to have the truck connected to a battery charger when the update starts. It is very likely the previous owner never had auto-updates scheduled, because when the update was sent, the truck downloaded all the files but it never tried to install the update before it timed out. OTA attempts will remain active for two weeks before they time out if it does not install in that time frame.

What I recommend you do, is schedule an appt with your dealer and tell them your truck is behind on updates and you do not have Bluecruise. Reference "Optional Product Improvement Program 21G01 for Bluecruise programming". They will need to keep your truck for a few days to perform the module updates to get you up to date.

Or, you can buy (or borrow) a tool needed to perform the updates yourself.

Or, you can turn auto-updates on and wait for the rest of the updates to be sent to you.

For many reasons: I would highly advise against waiting for the updates to be sent to you. Ford's OTA process is hot garbage. And if the Ford account comes in here asking you for your VIN to help you, you can ignore it completely. You are more likely to get help from the bag bog in your local grocery store than from them.

Thanks just brought the vehicle home yesterday so I'll reach back out to my salesperson.
