Glare free lights acting funny

[Ffdlt371]

I can't imagine Ford supporting anyone having issues with Glarefree issue.
At least not a non-Canadian truck.
Would they?

We'll find out....

I am having no issue either. I have all of the updates applied to all the modules. I have not noticed it operating any differently, thank goodness, as it is one of my favorite ForSCAN mods.

I tested mine again again this evening. It is operating as it has in the past, pre-updates. At 30mph, they ramp up, and dim sections of the beam when other oncoming lights or taillights are detected. Same as they always have worked. It’s strange different trucks with the same updates produce such different results.

I amended my post to recommend a different approach:

If everyone that experiences an issue could report back whether this solves it, it would be helpful for those going forward.

I just noticed my GFHB not ramping up last night, so I'll give this a try.

I added the left/right option in my APIM and toggled it.

I checked in forscan for the IPMA value of 8 and mine was already an 8. I didn't have to change anything.

Mine is still acting funny. It does not ramp up like it should.

The search continues for a solution.

Got me thinking maybe I should save my good asbuilt now before Ford screws it up. ?

 

[Ffdlt371]

Don't know if that would matter. Although you should save your as built.

My changes to my as built were not changed with this update. All of the changes I made to enable glare free were still in place.

I was hoping the update changed my values. Then the fix would have been an easy one.

 

[fordtruckman2003]

I was thinking it would have changed something when looking at the full list. Then it is experimental time changing it back one at a time and seeing if it does anything. ?‍

 

[Ffdlt371]

I guess so. Gotta try it at night so I can test right away.

I saved a copy of my as built from the Motorcraft page when I first bought the truck.

It changes as they do these updates.
APIM for example now has several more lines in it than it had when I first bought truck with very old software in April.

I do backups of truck asbuilt occasionally for that reason. Using Forscan not the online version that updates with weird schedule.

You didn’t need to add the “AA” in the first block either? These are the changes @ROBB1 recommended:

706-34-01 XXAA 8XXX XX--

I have to recheck the AA. I don't remember seeing that change. Stand by.....

I did the toggle as well. I ended up having to do all three changes, including the “8” in the second block.

I'll have to reference back to this thread when I attempt the GFHL again. I had swept through the changes from the 21-23 doc Livnitup has up and noticed it would ramp up but that was about all I could see, the dip to low behaved almost exactly like auto-highbeam. It could be in my understanding of how these work as well. I need to find a good lesson on hex code

If someone wants to educate an idiot, what exactly are the LED projectors in these vehicles capable of when it's working properly? Are they actually beam shaping on high? I'm wondering if I'm not seeing it because I don't fully understand the behavior I should be seeing. Thanks!

At this point, I've dropped the as built back in when it didn't appear to be working properly and in a vain hope to get off 6.2.0 - Don't say it. I know it won't help.
