ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Snakebitten]

Pretty much same. 502A PB Built 6/4/22, seems to have everything, but seeing folks post their revision numbers made me think newer is out there since my sync version is a lower number. They don’t appear to be sequential I guess.
Crazy stuff. Love the community support for it!

Yea, I don't think our 2022 Sync version/build numbers are comparable. Jesse explained it previously but I don't think I recall what the explanation was exactly. Different APIM?

Strangest thing happened a few minutes ago. I was walking back to the RV from the chicken coop and the truck lit up like a Christmas Tree.
There's nobody in that truck. It's parked. Has been for a few hours.

It wasn't running and accessory power was not on and the FOB wasn't nearby. I grabbed the FOB from the RV and remote locked it. Nothing changed. Unlocked it. Nothing changed. ?

I got in and the Sync screen had a feint back light and the IPC had the sliding blue F150.

I turned accessory power on and the headlights immediately switched to parking lights only. (they are on Auto)

Turned the truck off and it shut down normally.

Never seen or read anything like it. It would make sense if it was receiving an OTA?
It's exactly what the truck does with FDRS plugged into the ODB and accessory power on.

Wonder if I hadn't intervened if it would have ever shut back down?

These trucks seem to have a mind of there own sometimes. It's like there possessed! I pulled in the driveway tonight, wanted to finish listening to the news. While sitting foot on the brake, engine on and in drive. The parking brake applied itself! I didn't touch it, it did it on its own.

Little green men from outer space were looking your truck over until you scared them away..... ???????

That's actually normal.
If you keep your foot on the brake long enough, it will engage the emergency brake.
Happens to me at a railroad crossing that I often get caught at.

Ah ha! I didn't know that, it never happened to me before, even when sitting in stop and go traffic on the interstate, kinda doesn't seem right.. I don't understand the logic behind that.

Anyway. That's a very strange anomaly that just happened with your truck. Now I wonder if it would have shut itself down.. keep me posted if it happens again

You'd have to be in STOP n go traffic, if you know what I mean.

The first time it happened to me it WAS in a long stop in a traffic accident. It alerted me on the IPC or I wouldn't have known.

You might test it in the driveway again and see if it is on a timer of some preset number of seconds?

And yes, now I wish I hadn't intervened with the truck tonight. I'd kinda like to know what I interupted? But I did wait about 5 minutes before I did anything.

Maybe you only think you scared them away.

Didn't I see this on the X-Files.

The truth is out there.

Thanks for clarifying!

OK. So I clarified wrong. I am sorry. the Vertical displays are 4A. Which is silly becasue the vertical and 12" use the same APIM. Sorry to have gotten that wrong. but the 12" is still concidered Sync 4 even though it uses the exact same apim

Jesse, you'll get no grief from me good sir.
I had made the same mistaken conclusion myself or I wouldn't have said 4A in my previous post.

Can someone check my VIN to see what updates I have. I am planning to do them tomorrow. Also, what is the best order to do them. Or, am I better off waiting until there are more important updates to be installed and saving my $50.00? My truck is running just fine and I just got the 22-pu0727-v1-fxb OTA yesterday.

I had planned 2 weeks ago, but something came up and my weekend was shot. Thanks in advance.

This might be about $50 worth.

Thanks Mike... Will be updating tomorrow morning.

 

[Kanuck]

So I should start at the top of the list and work my way down or do some in order?

Job2 2022 here

First time to plug it into FDRS since there wasn't any updates available but the TRM brake controller (TSB) that has been sitting there since the truck was on the choochoo train from the factory.

But then today a GWM popped up! (and an ABS)
I'm not waiting on THAT!

I think I read that it's described as "little", but in my mind no GWM is insignificant. There's something Ford is trying to accomplish when they mess with that module. Also, it's >150megs. Have you seen 150megs of code scrolled on a screen?

I do have one question that I haven't seen asked here yet. A couple of days ago quite a few folks mentioned that when they went to enter their truck for the first time Wednesday, their truck engaged the electric emergency brake. We all heard it because it engaged before you could sit down and close the door.

No way is that a coincidence. Too unique and too many trucks on the same morning.

So..... Is it reasonable to believe that the trucks involved ALL were communicated with by the mothership and the evidence of whatever was attempted or achieved was the instant the truck powered up the emergency brake engagement command was initiated?

Another way to ask the same question is wouldn't it be reasonable to believe that Ford can intentionally or unintentionally communicate with a truck and carry out some sequence of instructions and it NOT be an OTA update? But rather some test they are running using the OTA infrastructure?

This stuff is fascinating.
