ECU module programming guide using FDRS

That list of updates available for your truck would keep a fair number of fellas up at night just itching to plug into their ODB.

It's a very promising group of updates. Stuff just starts working much better. The whole truck as an ensemble. You're a patient man.

Believe me @Snakebitten, I’m itching to plug into the ODB. My truck was at the dealer from June 1st through July 8th with a black screen. As soon as I got the 1.7.1 Power up on Monday my screen came back and my Sync went to 21146 Rev. 145.
Yesterday (Wed) I received power up 2.1.0. I just started getting OTA updates this past week since September of last year when I took delivery.

I’m waiting for my laptop to arrive so I can find a whole uninterrupted day to plug in and perform the updates. I know it’s going to be a doozy with all those.

Despite not having my truck for over a month (I did have a rental from the dealer for that time… a ‘20 F150 Lariat), one good thing I got out of it (besides the free rental) is a reimbursement for one months truck payment from Ford customer service $$$

So I will be plugging in and will be posting my progress and results soon.

After 2 days all they did was an ABS update (that they said they only did because reverse brake assist errors came up while they were doing updates) and the IPC update to address the settings not saving. I explicitly complained about receiving warnings of Powertrain malfunction/reduced power, as well as hill start assist warning and check brake system warnings and the passenger window doing its own thing (going up in spurts, rolling back down) so I wonder why after 2 days all they did was the 2 updates literally leaving the PCM powertrain control module and also the PDM update which i think would address the issues Ive been having.

 

[Snakebitten]

Because they don't view updates the way you (we) see them.

The product (F150) has changed dramatically right under their nose and they are unaware of just how much it has changed. It's fascinating if you think about it. There's a transition taking place and you are just better informed than they are. But admittedly, that's ironic.

Good afternoon all,
I've been off the forum for a little bit with lots of work stuff going on (last post was in March which seems forever ago). Dealer finally "fixed" my truck by replacing the GWM and reprogramming the APIM (they noted the procedure failed 3 times) at the end of May, but they left me on version 1.7.1. They also performed the 22S17 recall, however my Pro Trailer Backup Assist stickers still did not work. Gee thanks.

After some time, I'm now receiving updates...
6/2/2022 - 2.1.1
7/2/2022 - 2.6.0
7/6/2022 - 2.7.1 (v22087_PRODUCT; revision: 415)

I keep hearing about games in Sync, but where do I find these?
Does someone mind running what SW updates are still pending?

Thanks in advance!

So far, I think games are just for the Mach-E.

That's fine with me, I'd just as soon they concentrate on updates that improve the driving of the truck instead of worrying about adding games.

My Bluecruise always crowds the passenger side of the road almost riding the lines compared to the drivers side. Is this something I am able to correct in FDRS or is a trip to the dealer required?

neither is going to be a solution, it is by design. Drivers side Is oncoming traffic, far bigger hazard than same way traffic on passenger side.

My 2022 only favors the passenger side slightly. Looking out the windshield it sometimes looks more biased to me, but then I check the parabolic lower portion of the elephant ear tow mirrors and the line-spacing to tire isn't nearly as biased as I thought.

I'm just pleased that it seems to hold its line consistently enough for me to learn to trust it. My previous 2021 ping ponged a bit more before it would settle.

There will eventually be Lane-biasing.
A simple Forscan change in the APIM shows the menu option under cruise control but it doesn't work yet. It will likely need a few other modules to be updated to work.

Does your BC work on roads that are not divided ? BC on mine only works on Interstate and divided highways which don’t have oncoming traffic.

True for me too, but you still have all the features of Bluecruise if lane-keeping is activated with adaptive cruise. Of course you won't have the hands-free option, but I'm not exactly a hands-free convert regardless.

As far as I can tell the lane-keeping logic is the same for Bluecruise and Hands-on.
