Downloading Power-Up 6.8.0 Today

[emiantan]

The problem is Ford's ridiculous OTA process. Your capacity is at 79 (I assume you have an H7 or H8 battery) and SoC is at 100%. What does Ford want us to do? Connect the truck to a nuclear powerplant for an update to install? smh

"errorCode":"InhibitRequiredHvNotQualifiedLvLow(204)""totalLvBatteryCapacity":"79""currentLvBatteryDataQuality":"NotWithinSpec""currentLvBatteryVoltage":"13""currentLvBatterySoc":"100""currentLvBatteryTemperature":"20""dynamicPostUpdateSocThreshold":"41""estimatedTimeToActivate":"420""estimatedTimeIncludingRollback":"648""currentDrainRate":"9"

Quick update: I attempted the update a few more times prior to taking it the dealership this morning. Nothing worked. same issues. I turned off the scheduled updates the other night to make sure the dealership could replicate the issue when I took it in this morning.

When I woke up, I opened FordPass to make sure it still showed scheudled an, lo and behold, my truck updated last night. I was connected to the trickle charger. I still took it in to make sure I had an RO on this issue just in case it persists beyond my factory warranty.

I was told that every update I have attempted to install has installed according to FDRS. The Service Manager shared his thoughts that bits and pieces download whenever it gets a chance, but I still questioned what is preventing it from going into inhibit mode if I have met all of the preconditions and the download is complete. Finally, he told me my scheduled updates was setup and 7pm in the system, when I have it set at 11pm. I still love my truck and I appreciate the willingness of Ford to send this OTAs two years after purchase to make our trucks better.

Quick question after reading through this thread. I have a job 1 2021 which in the past has required me to update the IPC module via can bus in FDRS. So 6.8.0 is up next. What are the chances that this IPC update will go through via OTA?

I also have a 2021 J1 truck the 6.8.0 OTA installed on mine without issue.

Have you ever had issues with IPC updates failing because I have?

The previous two IPC updates on my job 1 had to be installed via the CAN process. This one went through using the USB method which means had I waited for the OTA, in theory, it would have gone through. A few other owners who had to install the previous IPC updates via CAN reported that it went through with USB process in FDRS, too.

That's great news the can bus method is a nightmare. Thank you

In early 2022 my IPC was screwed up badly because FDRS had a problem and didn't install both files correctly. Jesse had to remote into my truck and correct the problem by installing the correct files. Since then, the IPC has taken every OTA without issue.

I guess the Job 1 IPC via can bus issue has been solved somehow. That's great news. If this 6.8.0 IPC update goes via OTA it will be the first time. For me all others where can bus

My truck was broken job 1 IPC.
I waited around and let it come in OTA like all the others that fail endlessly and installed quickly without any issues.

That last 4.x IPC update that said it was going to make future updates easier actually did so. I'm still in a little shock.

Well I was able to manually start the PU 6.8.0 and it installed via OTA with out issue. Nice when things work as they should.

Oh don't worry, I'm sure something else will break for us soon. ?

At 9 minutes of install time, OTA, is absolutely painless compared to FDRS when it goes down correctly. ?

I haven't seen 6.8.0 yet. I got the 23-PU0813-DOR-UP2 today. 6.5.0 came back in early December.

After a few failed attempts I charged the battery yesterday and left it on the charger overnight (it goes to trickle when charged) and it updated overnight.
