You still have the nuclear option. Type in Smart App Control in the search bar and then navigate to it. There you will find an option to turn it off. But once you do, you can’t turn it back on without reinstalling Windows. Mine is turned off and it hasn’t caused me any problems.

Hmmmm. Mine doesn’t do that. Try this. Uninstall the license key and then uninstall the app completely. Then reinstall it fresh and see if you get an option during the install to ignore the security restrictions. Your install got further than mine. I couldn’t even install it without...

Same thing happened to me with the newest version of FORScan. When you run the installer, the pop-up blocker should give you links to a couple of options. I don’t recall exactly what they say, but one of them allows you to ignore the Windows security restrictions and install the program...

No. You can replace the assembly and hope for better coverage due to production variation, but the nozzle is fixed.

If you want to verify operation, you can snake a borescope into the duct above the cabin air filter and see if the damper moves. That’s what my dealer did to confirm that the actuator wasn’t working properly. After a year of running self tests and resets on the HVAC module, with each test...

You can use FORScan to enable digital readouts for engine temp and transmission temp. You cannot get digital readouts for amps/voltage or oil pressure on the cluster. You’ll need a separate scanner and display for those. I’m not 100% sure you can even get oil pressure at all, even with a...

You’re probably right. Unfortunately, you’ve pretty much done everything on the software side. I found something that might help, but I’m not overly optimistic. In addition to what the SSM says about disconnecting the TRM and the 12V starting battery, remember you will also need to disconnect...

I know you did this already, but check the #91 fuse again, preferably with a multimeter set for continuity. I’ve seen this fault with a bad #91 fuse.

Yellow is a “permanent” historical code that you can’t clear as far as I know. You can see it, but it isn’t current. It should eventually go away if the same DTC doesn’t show up again. But it will take awhile. If you look at your readout, the first line for the IPC, SCCM and the TRM all came...

Sort of. Run it and see what happens. Might get lucky. I usually use FORScan for this stuff. On-Demand Self Test under the Test section and Module Reboot under the Service section. Both should also be in FDRS. When you do a network scan, what color is the TRM and BCMC? If green, I wouldn’t...

No. I wouldn’t do that. Click on the BCMC and find the self-test routine. You can also do a module reboot from the service procedures section of FORScan.

Have you tried resolving the comms error from the other side—resetting the BCMC?

What kind of DTC are you getting? Continuous or stored? Communication glitches frequently resolve themselves. If this is stored DTC, try using the “Clear and Retest” button in FDRS to clear the DTC and see if it comes back. The NASTF restriction only applies to the BCM. It does not apply to...

Sorry, I should have said 46.5.6 is not itself news. What is news is that it’s causing problems since its release last week and shouldn’t be used until Ford cleans it up.

Not new. It’s been out for awhile and is causing some users problems. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/2023-lariat-powerboost-all-fdrs-updates-fail-with-power-cutout-as-flash-begins.44708/post-745420

New SSM might be useful: SSM 54401 2021-2025 F-150 - Stuck In Park - No DTCs Some 2021-2025 F-150 vehicles may exhibit a stuck in park condition with no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). This may be due to connector C211 pin push out on circuit CCB61 or an open on circuit CCB61...

I created an FDRS-specific account a little over a year ago to make sure that login issues didn’t foul up FordPass and my Ford.com account. Never had a problem with it but I haven’t used it with the new subscription service yet.

After you log into FDRS, are you selecting the correct VCI in the menu? Mongoose in the dropdown and not one of the preselected Ford/Rotunda devices (e.g. VCMII). It is possible there is something wrong with the Mongoose. A call to Opus/IVS tech support might be worthwhile. Also, a while...

I have only two last-gasp recommendations. First, I’d do what @rugedraw recommended and completely uninstall and reinstall FDRS. Make sure you also delete this directory and all subdirectories before reinstalling: C:/ProgramData/Ford Motor Company. Second, make sure your Mongoose is...
