2021+ F150 Power-Up and Priority OTA History Thread

[bkreyche]

Hello, I have a 2021 F150, went through all the early troubles to get updates and got the truck up to 6.1.0 and has been stuck there since 7/2024. Logged onto Fords website it has the "!" with a triangle around it saying "vehicle has automatic SYNC updates". Seems I should be due for a new update?

I'll put it on a charger for the 'update time slot' tomorrow (with the hood closed) and see if that makes any difference. ?

Hmmm, with temps in the 40's for the last 24 hours I put the truck on a 10A charger several hours before and through the scheduled update (with the hood closed).

But FordPass again reports "Update interrupted".

20 previous trouble-free OTA updates, the last two being 10.1.0 (to SYNC 24.2.1.6) on 1/22/2025 and 10.1.1 on 1/30/2025.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

@rugedraw , I'll be happy to DM my VIN if you think your resources might help identify the underlying problem? With much appreciation for your consideration.

Send it over. I won't be on my laptop for a bit, but I'll check it out later.

Done, thank you very much!

Received last night!

SoC and capacity are low. SoC is at 70% and capacity (assuming you have the OEM H6 battery) is at 45 of 70. You gotta charge your 12v up.

After a bit of struggle due to cold weather and I presume Fords cheap H6 battery, I was finally able to get a couple of updates through this morning.

DDM-24.11.5
HVAC-24.5.0

I’m hoping I get the HVAC controls in FordPass soon.

I’m betting this is why I can’t get any updates. I charged both batteries over the weekend with this reading today. Probably going to have to break down and replace/upgrade both.

Spreadsheet updated to include IPC-24.2.0 for 21-23 trucks only with the 8" IPC. Lariat and above trims will not get this one.

I think 12.54V resting, is still above the trouble zone. I intervene if it drops below 12.3V

The voltage is decent, but the SoC is what’s concerning me

Looks like you may have accidentally removed the spreadsheet from the first post.

Fixed.

That SOC is not the same as the SOC that Ford proclaims. I'm not saying that 64% isn't a legit value, but the BMS might have the SOC 10% higher than that voltmeter app does.

BOLO for a new IPMA update to enable the config for BC 1.4 on trucks that got the IPMA updated one way or another but needed config for the new features to actually work. This is a quick config only update and it does say wifi required for this one like the few other config only OTA's we have seen.

If you already have BC 1.4 and everything works as it should, you will still get this and it will do nothing for you.

Release notes read:

Group ID 1 - Feature Enhancement - Driver Assist Features*Ford BlueCruise 1.4 brings the best hands-free highway driving performance yet to keep you hands-free longer, along with the latest features - Lane Change Assist and In-Lane Repositioning. Your vehicle may have received software via service or OTA for BC related content which included the following:* BlueCruise 1.4 (equipped vehicles only):* · Lane Change Assist: allows you to use the turn signal to indicate a desired lane change, which the system will perform when the path is clear. · In-Lane Repositioning: can help provide more space by subtly shifting away from large vehicles in adjacent lanes. · More hands-free highway time: In our internal testing, BlueCruise 1.4 stayed engaged in hands-free mode for at least 8 times longer than BlueCruise 1.0 based on improvements in curves and narrow lane handling. · More in-lane stability: BlueCruise 1.4 improves in-lane stability by over 4x compared to BlueCruise 1.0, reducing the 'side-to-side' movement of prior versions. · One-button activation: As long as the Lane Centering slider is turned ON in the Driver Assistance screen, customers only need to press the Adaptive Cruise Control button without having to also press the Lane Assist button. · Sliders to turn Lane Change Assist and In-Lane Repositioning On or Off in the Driver Assistance screen will be made available in a future update. *Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Predictive Speed Assist: * · Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited Series customers will receive an upgrade to their ACC system that includes the following: · When Predictive Speed Assist is active, the ACC system will now temporarily adjust the vehicle speed in advance of curves and will display an illustration in the instrument cluster display explaining the reason for the speed adjustment. · Although Predictive Speed Assist is now deployed on your vehicle, the Driver Assistance screen will still show a slider named Speed Sign Recognition. The label of this slider will change to Predictive Speed Assist in a future update. *Vehicles with Pre-Collision Assist now have greater coverage.* · Pre-Collision Assist now has enhanced detection and automatic braking capability for pedestrians crossing into the vehicle’s path when the vehicle is turning and traveling between 3 and 19 mph.* Available Feature. Equipped Ford vehicles come with either a complimentary trial period or an included duration, after which purchase of a BlueCruise subscription is required. Modem activation is required for subscription purchase and for initial activation of BlueCruise. See ford.com/bluecruise for details. BlueCruise is a driver-assist feature and does not replace safe driving or driver’s attention, judgment or need to control the vehicle. Only remove hands in a Hands-Free Blue Zone. Always watch the road and be prepared to resume control. See Owner’s Manual for details and limitations. IPMA-24.204.10.9*
