Adaptive Head Lights - Coming to the US???

[kirktx]

You will need to make the change in 734-01-04 for glare free to work and not have a warning message occur.

xx53 4E
Should be the correct code per your description.

So it should be xx53 4Exx ?

Thanks for your assistance!

Robb1,
I have question about 720-01-01 xx8x xxxx

The spreadsheet shows this address as:
"Adaptive Head Lamps Control Function (AHLCF) • ASLD (ASLD) •
AdvanceTrac Control Function (ATCF) • AFE Metric Display Type (AFEMDT) "

what does ASLD = Adjustable Speed Limiter Device and ATCF = Advance Track function do?

My as built is
6=AHLCF disabled • ASLD enabled • ATCF enabled • AFEMDT L/100km

recommended
8=AHLCF enabled • ASLD disabled • ATCF disabled • AFEMDT L/100km

why am I disabling ASLD and ATCF?
why not use E?
e=AHLCF enabled • ASLD enabled • ATCF enabled • AFEMDT L/100kme=

@towpro the short answer is we only want to enable AHLCF, not change any other settings. Based on what you have in your as-built E would be the correct choice.

The longer answer / question is why is your truck different than the many, many trucks I have sampled to develop these changes, including some 2022 models and all trims levels that have the correct headlights. All US trucks sampled have a 0 oem, hence the recommend 8. 8 is also the oem for Canadian trucks with factory enabled glare free.

Pure speculation, but the two things that come to mind: Ford has deleted something from the vehicle that necessitated this change or this is or was originally scheduled as a fleet vehicle.

Advance Trac is the traction control system. All trucks I have sampled including Raptors have hardbutton controls, so the IPC control feature is disabled in 720-01-01 xx*x and hardbutton control is enabled in 720-01-01 xxx*.

Adjustable speed limiting I'm not completely sure, but it sounds similar to features I have heard fleet vehicles have. It allows Ford or the operator to set a maximum vehicle speed and / or warnings etc. for exceeding a certain speed.

I'm leaning towards your truck has some fleet type features enabled. Speed limiting and potential restriction on disabling traction control functions. Speculation though.

I see the error of my ways. I wrote the 3rd digit of the 1st octet when I pushed changes to module, but when I was reading my notes to see how it applied to the spread sheet (after the change) I read the 3rd digit of the 2nd octet. . dyslexia of the brain I guess. All is well now.

Glad to hear it all worked out. It happens to all of us at some point. I‘m also glad I don’t have to create a new table (yet)!

I'm starting to tinker with FORscan in my F150 Lighting Lariat and have noticed that there's a lot of overlap between module settings in the Lightning and ICE versions of the F150. I'm especially interested in knowing whether glare-free hardware is present.

All of the Lightnings come with the same headlamp modules with dynamic bending enabled. It's not clear if they have the hardware for glare-free headlights, but I think it's probably unlikely. The asbuilt settings have entries for everything except 734-01-04. How should I interpret this? Does the lack of that setting indicate that the hardware is missing or that there's a fundamental difference between the ICE and electric F150 headlights? Is that setting missing in the Job 2 ICE F150s that are lacking the glare-free headlights?

	734-01-02	0001	0100	0040

	734-02-02	1D00	024C	4CF6

We don't yet know that the Job2 trucks are lacking the glare free lights, do we?
Certainly not during the beginning of Job2 builds because there are some that have Glare Free confirmed.

Very interested to find out about the Lightning.

734-01-04 is a (CRC) check code in HCM, it there to validate the other settings in the HCM and trigger a DTC if the settings do not match the check code.

They may not have implemented that in the lighting HCM. The software could be completely different as well. I honestly haven’t done any research on the Lightning as-built, so I can’t say one way or the other.

If it were my truck, I would make backups and give the other as-built changes a try.

I was able to change all of the settings in my Lightning except the 734-01-02, which gives me an error when I write it. I calculated the checksum digits with an app and still get an error.

The glare free headlight setting appears on the center panel options screen and the green Icon with an "A" appears in the instrument panel. The dynamic bending and auto dimming features work. I wasn't able to see any matrix localized dimming effect on a short drive in oncoming or passing traffic--the dimming was "all or nothing."

Just looking at the HCM OEM as-built values you posted, there are some significant differences between yours and the expected values for a ICE F-150. You have a lot of undefined positions or values that do not seem to make sense based on the current forscan spread sheet translation. That would lead me to believe there are some significant software differences. Any suggestions I might make for your truck would be based on the potentially incorrect assumption that the as-built is functioning exactly the same as a normal ICE F150.

@Livnitup any plans on a Lightning specific as-built translation in the works?

I just added a BCM spreadsheet specific to the 2022 Lightning here: https://bit.ly/3vovoOj

Note: I have not gone through it to compare it against the non-Lightning F150 BCM so if it's the same then I don't have any answers.

Thanks. On top of things as always.

Yes he is!

However, I patiently wait for him to map the VDM module. I realize it's an outlier of a module, but there's GOLD in them values. Lol
