ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Ajzride]

I just got done test driving a 2022 Tundra with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+. It's basically what BlueCruise Enabled Job 1 trucks have had for over a year now. It will never be hands free, but it works way better than the ford Lane Centering. It doesn't complain for you to put your hands on the wheel when they are already there, you don't have to wrestle it to keep it from crowding the center line, it doesn't chase every exit lane off the interstate. I was really impressed with it.

Maybe your last network scan to clean up node F190 will kick up a fresh report to the Ford server and finally clear the update offer from the queue. Sometimes it takes a day.

Is the F190 field supposed to be in all the GWM? Mine doesn’t show my VIN or F190

Sounds like you should buy one.

I’ve always seen it. Try doing a new network scan and see what it does. This is odd and I have no answer other than perhaps the last scan you did didn’t report everything up to the server.

I also just noticed that your software version (Node F188) is not the most recent. Strategy should end in ELL, not EKK.

Should I do a PMI on it. If so do you always select new module? Can't remember.

So I did an update day before yesterday. How do I update the FDRS when I hook back up to my truck. Normally it asks if the update was successful, but I did a few days later so the computer was shut down.

it will scan the truck and get the new module. was this an APIM update?

No, I wouldn’t do that yet. Are you getting any DTCs? Has the GWM update cleared from the S/W tab in FDRS? If you don’t have DTCs and the GWM update isn’t being offered anymore, I’d do a fresh network scan and check again in the morning. Give it some time to propagate to the as-built database before doing anything else. Remember, what you are seeing in @tonesto7 ’s widget is NOT your local programming. It’s only the as-built data backed up onto the Motorcraft site.

i wouldn't disconnect the truck. once you start an update, you gotta commit to it, even with the USB updates. a lot of times it will end up OK, but you really want it to validate the updated software and do any additional programming, ESPECIALLY with the GWM.....

Nope no DTC's everything green. I updated it like 3-4 weeks ago. The only thing in the updates field is GSM, the normal re-occurring update.
I also did a network scan\refresh a few days ago.
I don't see an F190 field in FDRS either under GWM.

GWM asked me to use USB and continue to drive around and that took a couple of days to index and complete so I had to disconnect.

There is a new GWM that came down since you last updated. You won’t get it until you apply the most recent IPMA update, which also came down since you last updated. Maybe that’s the issue. I don’t remember what was in the GWM update prior to this one. But DON’T do a PMI. Wrong tool for this.

If you are still using a Nano, you probably are stuck where you are for now.

My vehicle is not Blue Cruise capable so I am not sure if that affects different updates\modules available.

I don’t have BC either. We’re all getting the same updates from what I can tell with the exception of the driver spycam module, which non-BC equipped trucks don’t have.
