ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Davidwnuc]

I'm not sure. I would just avoid and PCM updates it shows once you get it running.



Hopefully someone else can chime in then. The FORScan issues you had also indicated a problem with not recognizing the VIN?

I believe it was PCM strategy that wasnt recognized.
Thanks for your help. I will keep messing with it and see what happens.

That could very well be causing the issue. I'm not sure how to circumvent that. I would message Jesse to see if he can help.

I just got off the phone with Roush. They gave me some steps to try. Sounds like a common thing. I will update once i get a chance.

I'd just like to take a moment and give a huge thank you and appreciation to @HammaMan for helping me get FDRS up and running on my laptop. I never in a million years would have figured out all the steps to do so. This man is legend...

in order to get passed the error here is what Roush said to do.
startup FDRS without your cable plugged in
Manually enter the VIN
After FDRS populates then plug in your cable.
problem with that is you havent communicated with all the modules so none of them are ready to do anything. I tried assigning the VIN and running self tests to start off and was only able to update the IPC module.
IPMA kept failing part way through if i could get it started and APIM wouldnt pass a self test because it wouldn't communicate with any module and fir whatever reason sync didnt like my usb drive. now my cluster is lit up with with various warnings about collision detection.
its funny, i was completely happy with the way my truck was running prior to today but thought, “hell, im not busy this weekend, lets see if i can update some modules”. Dumb idea…lol

That is wild.
You do have truck key on engine off when you are running test and network scan correct? If key off it will show most modules offline.

Running the clear and retest should get everything to light up green.

Yeah. Key is on. Rerun network test does nothing.
I dont know what you mean by “clear and retest”

Is the IPMA purple in FDRS?

Gray

Just did self test again and yes
Purple

It's bricked. Run the PMI on it and select "no" when asked if it is the original module. It will take 3 hours.

okay. Thank you.
i just started it. Hopefully i have no more issues.

i set up one of my wyze cameras so i can see the laptop screen from anywhere…

which modules are worth updating or am i better off shutting it down (assuming my IPMA works again)

If you already started, then you might as well finish. Hopefully the rest goes smooth for you.

Damn man. Someone is obviously not right here. Message Jesse to see if he can help.
