2021+ F150 Power-Up and Priority OTA History Thread

[crazywayne311]

@rugedraw i see that there are PCM updates coming out lately. With me having a Ford Performance tune, do I need to be worried about "losing" my tune? I thought aftermarket tunes were getting deleted so I just wonder about the FP tunes. any insight?

A PCM update will 100% wipe your tune. Depending on who your tuner is, that may be free and cheap fix, or it may not be.

I got the Ford Performance 3.5EB tune...

Not sure how that works or how it is supported. You may want to contact them.

I doubt Ford would wipe out a tune that’s of their own making. With that said, it doesn’t hurt to check.

I would say you must be new here, but I know you're not. You give them WAY too much credit.

Looks like I'll hook up the battery maintainer when I get home today.

6.7.0 here we go...

Good luck!
My 6.7.0 failed again today.

My 2021 XLT just got PT-25.15.5

Question: there was apparently some update that puts camera info on the screen when using turn indicators while towing (am I correct?) Is that an update that might (eventually) come to my 2021 XLT F150?

For that, the IPMA needs to be updated to a certain point for it to be able to work. However, that feature itself needs to be enabled with FORScan. It won't come automatically from an OTA.

Ahhh! Thank you.
Hmmm, looks like I need to consider learning about FORScan…

So much for that...

I Don’t know what gives on this update.
I also can’t get it to complete after at least 4 tries and a charged battery. There are other factors than the battery charge.
I also seen reports of another update failing for some. Maybe Ford server side issues lately?

Ford seems to have changed something in the OTA dashboard in terms of how it displays why an OTA is failing. It seems to be more cryptic now. It keeps saying "precondition error code 103". I have no idea what that means.

I have the option of using FDRS. But, with the increased cost, not knowing if the update will actually install and not knowing if I have other updates in the queue I might as well wait. I imagine it probably would not install with FDRS either.

Eventually we'll figure out what the error message means...
