2022 F-150 heated and cooled seats OEM conversion?

[ReverendQ]

FWIW, I tried just about everything under the sun to get another vehicle's pad to work in my truck and nothing would stop a 'silent' dtc regarding it. Everything functions as it should, but there's an error popping up under the IPC that's only showing in diagnostic programs. No wrench or functional issues. Just my OCD wanting to clear it.

The seat pad assembly is the OCSM, it's on the HS2 bus and talks to the IPC via the GWM. I've found through other testing that the (unrelated) running the program function on the IPMA will program the VIN numbers into the radar units. Given the changes via forscan I've made, I have no intention of 'programming' everything on the HS2 bus followed up with the IPC.

If someone does eventually find a fix for this silent DTC, do let us know

FYI, I compared ASBUILTS from MY23 Lariat and more but cannot find anything in IPC, DSM, etc. that would lead me to believe this DTC can be mitigated. It can be cleared but remains persistent.

AI leads me to believe we just have to live with it because our XLT did not originally come with DSM, "Yes, there are documented instances of other Ford F-150 PowerBoost owners encountering the U0509 DTC after retrofitting a Driver Seat Module (DSM). This issue commonly arises when the DSM is added to a vehicle not originally equipped with one, leading to communication errors between the DSM and other modules on the vehicle's CAN bus."

Yes, for me too it's a matter of OCD but I do wonder if others have it also, i.e. misery loves company.

I bet it has to do with the 8" IPC more than anything. It hasn't hampered any operation. Did you get your memory up and running w/ your new door lock control?

Agreed, DTC is probably due to 8" IPC and harmless.

I enabled the memory button and memory mirrors in both PDM and DDM. It works for DDM but I don't have the supporting harness for PDM yet. Still awaiting delivery but I expect it to be fine for the Passenger side mirror. I also haven't confirmed auto-dimming is operational.

I am not sure of ForScan enabling for Pedal memory or Key FOB integration. (Also I am not sure if the two FOB that came with the XLT can be differentiated i.e. FOB(a) for memory button 1 and FOB(b) for memory button 2.) All things to do/try. If you have some settings suggestions, send them to me. TIA

Auto dimming is easy to see. At night while in run, just shine a light at your internal rear view mirror and you should see the driver's mirror darken. The transition takes a few seconds and should be obvious as there's a small border around the driver's mirror that doesn't have the ELM film on it (on top of the fact you can see it dim its dark blue color. ).

Has anyone installed the F-250 front seats for this upgrade?

It seems that they are more available and cost less.

What programming is needed to be done?
Is there a list of FORScan changes?

Did you ever figure this out? Waiting on my harness to be shipped out meanwhile I wait i figured I’d ask.

No, I haven't figured it out. Haven't been able to find just the front seats and some family stuff came up. So I had to put it on hold.

As far as I know he is not replacing the seats. He already added leather.

The cushions are different. The cusion has the air distribution in it. I told him wrong. I couldnt remember but the foam is different. The foam has the seat cooling distribution.

So he would need all new foam.

It had been a while since I did mine


Here is a pic of the bottom of the lower seat cushion. The white is the air distribution and what the fan blows into

Hey Jesse,
I was wondering where one could find this cushion?
I'm approaching this project completely different. I designed and 3d printed an air diverter for the vent under the seat. It works really well however the thick foam won't let the ac air hit the leather. Thought maybe this would make it work
Thanks

Hey all, just wrapped up this project but seems im stuck on the new climate control portion. Does this need to be programmed.. if so, is this done through forscan? If anyone can shed some light on this portion of it!

 

[QuestionableStandard]

Just throwing a post out here. I have a full set of Tremor seats i have listed in the Houston area on facebook marketplace. They were used for this project on my work truck but i have pulled them out while changing jobs and returning my company vehicle. "2023 Tremor f150 seats" Reach out to me on facebook if your interested and they are listed still. I can look into shipping if you are not local.

There is a programming portion that can be done for certain displays to show up. I replaced the HVAC controlls and just never knew what temp the AC/Heat was set to but everything worked as intended without programming. As long as you dont mind flying blind on your temp set point you should be ok.
