ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Kanuck]

I'm chugging along, 3 hours you said?

I sure hope you were in a very comfortable chair - watching TV and enjoying a favorite beverage at the time. Last time I did updates - 1 was 4 hrs and 1 was 3.5 hrs...can't remember which was which. IPMA and IPC...

Is there any special order these should be done in?

The reason I ask is because I just tried to do a simple one. CMR. Camera module.
Got 1/3 into it and it failed. Twice.

No particular order. CMR is not simple, takes about an hour to complete. DSP is one to test with, since it's quick ~10 minutes. Make sure you have a power supply connected and laptop plugged in to power. The IPMA is ~3 hours.

Question. I ran one that required the USB. I ran all the steps and at the end it said that even if you didn't get the successful to tap yes. I did but I never saw the it's OK to remove the USB. Trying to follow directions I left in and moved on to the Gateway Module. Now it wants an USB. Can I take out the first one?

I feel like I'm going to be here until my license runs out at midnight.

Is the apim update gone from fdrs? If so, this happened to me and I took the usb out after clicking yes. Reformat the usb to exfat before putting the GWM files in it.

Yes the APIM was gone so I did the Gateway module. When that was complete then another APIM was there to be run. I keep thinking I'm almost done.

I never imagined that this would take so long. I've spent a lot of time sitting in my truck in the driveway in the rain. I bet my neighbors think I have lost it.

You are amongst a bunch of fellas that have spent a lot of time sitting in their truck in power supply mode.

I think between my 2 personal trucks I am somewhere around 45 module updates with FDRS.

I was in my truck in a thunderstorm finishing an update on my marathon weekend. Power went out too for added fun. ?

Now to know why dealers don't want to deal with this stuff. Lol

I just finished updating all modules with FDRS but there was no update listed for APIM. My sync says it’s 23159_ PRODUCT revision 915. Is this the latest update? If not, why wouldn’t it show up in FDRS?
VIN: 1FTFW1ED3MFB79244
Attached screenshots of SW Updates tab and sync version screen.
Thanks! You all have been so helpful!

Try running network scan again.

Try running network scan again.

I did last night after doing half of the update’s available and APIM still didn’t show. I’ll try again

This issue with Ford, could it be why an APIM update I did about 3 weeks ago is still showing in FDRS but shows it went through in PTS

 

[fordtruckman2003]

Confused how Ford managed to break it. I had those updates come in OTA last year.
