ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[JFR0317]

Well, I decided to finally break down and order the Mongoose as a Christmas present to myself. It arrives Christmas Eve. Be prepared for lots of questions in the near future (even though I have been following this thread since its inception and have read it all).

anybody around the southern indiana, lousiville, KY area that would want to loan/rent me their mongoose cable?

John, I sent you a text

Sorry for the cross post, but I think this is pretty important:

BREAKING NEWS: The BCM update has been removed from FDRS, at least for my truck for now. I just checked this morning and it has disappeared. Mine is 2021 Job 1, Lariat 501A.

I am back in business!!! BCM headache is now behind me. New LED Module / processor installed! Everything is working again after the BCM LIN initialization in FDRS.

Now I can relax this Christmas weekend… Until cousin Eddie kidnaps my boss! ?

Note part number on the part itself is different than what you order.

Great to hear! Just to confirm, you rolled back the update, correct?

 

[TJSparky]

Yes I did. But still had to install the module. Even after the roll back it didn’t fix the problem.

I don't know if you saw my earlier post, but Ford removed the BCM update from FDRS

 

[TJSparky]

Yup Jesse told me this morning but the roll back option showed up for me in FDRS. Probably because they saw I applied the F’d up one they pushed out.

For those understandably reluctant to apply any further BCM “updates,” the roll back @Jesse-Infotainment mentioned in another thread that Ford posted to FDRS this morning installed fine for me. Although I didn’t have any issues with the recent two-part BCM update, I installed the roll back anyway as a precaution.

As Jesse also mentioned, you’ll see the roll back in FDRS only if you previously installed the update. Otherwise, FDRS shows nothing new available for the BCM.

Here is a random question, but I think in the right arena. I have a 2021 Job 1 F150 Powerboost Platinum and have a Mongoose and everything is great. Just bought the wife a 2022 Lincoln Navi L Black Label. I am guessing it has FRDS updates pending. I run FDRS a month at a time but it just expired. Would anybody mind checking 5LMJJ3TT0NEL16574, build date is 11/22. TIA!!

Can anyone confirm if BCM now in FDRS is safe (501A PB Lariat with quad led Reflector headlights)?

Spent all day with FDRS today doing > 1 year of updates - only BCM left...

Only thing I see is an APIM update at the moment.

The BCM update that is available for my truck in FDRS is G2161053-10.0 (this is what appears when you hover over the entry in FDRS).

I read there were 2 BCM updates - the first left the truck with interior light problems - the second BCM update (appeared only after the first was installed) fixed this and worked great for active led projectors headlights, but broke led projector headlights and required new hardware/module.

I also read that Ford issued a roll back, so if you had both installed it would go back a revision (or two?). If you only installed the first then you needed to call Jesse for help (to roll back).

Ford pulled 1 BCM updates, but did it pull both? I am trying to figure out if it is safe to install what is in FDRS now...

Thanks, I bit the bullet and already did two others. Doing APIM now. Appreciate you checking.

I wouldn't do it. Not yet.
