Do NOT do BCM update!! Headlight issues reported

[Jesse-Infotainment]

@Jesse-Infotainment

Hello Jesse,

I had the BCM module in FDRS and held off after all the ruckus. Now it's gone; only thing left is the APIM. Any thoughts? Hopefully I didn't miss any previous posts.

They pulled the bcm update so nothing to do. The apim is 22293

I have the same issue. Performed the 2-part BCM update on a 2021 F150 and the LF Headlamp became INOP. I replaced the LED Control Module and the low beam illuminated upon connection but the high beams are now INOP. I performed the BCM LIN New Module Initialization procedure as per Ford’s workshop manual when replacing the control module and it keep’s completing unsuccessfully. At that time, the headlamp became INOP after the procedure. I believe there may be a problem with the BCM programming and possibly corrupting the logic of the LED control module.

This happened to me 3 days after the making of this whole thread. I have been at this issue for a few weeks now. Currently in contact with the engineers also.

**UPDATE**
I just got my 21 Lariat with quad LEDs back from the dealer today. Replaced BCM and all seems to be ok at the moment. Bonus...they needed to program key fobs to new BCM and I had only given them one key. Aparently even the Dealer cannot program a new fob without 2 keys. They had to go to parts and get a new one...so now I have three fobs. I asked about whats gonna happen when the system says BCM needs update....service guy says " oh we think they'll have the software figured out by then...." We'll see.

The BCM update is safe to do now correct?

I believe @Livnitup or @Jesse-Infotainment has stated Ford pulled the bad one.

I don't have an active FDRS license to check for you, but there is a thread specifically for this:

Copy. I never paid any attention to that one. For some reason I thought that had to do with builds. Lol. I just posted here since Jesse is pretty active in this one. I could send him a message but I’ll look at this other thread as well.

I also just signed up for that early access program as well. I should have been in this thread but overlooked it. ?

I,m sure @Jesse-Infotainment needs a break sometimes.

Yes this is correct. They pulled the bad BCM update. If anyone is showing a BCM update it is the summer update to the AAH strategy.

Thanks bud. Yes he probably does. He goes way beyond the call of duty. That ABS update is always there. I do it each time and it never goes away. Not sure why.
