ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[TJSparky]

Has anyone else seen issues with changes in Forescan not being updated to Ford servers “As Built” data? I’ve made several changes, some back to the original stock entries months ago but they are not changed with the Ford mothership. I have done several network scan/syncs with the Mongoose via FDRS each time too.

In the truck they show correctly via Forescan but not in the As Built info from Fords site.

I made about 20 forscan changes when adding IACC, and was checking to see if/when the asbuilt would update on the server side. It didn’t update for at least a week or two. Then, I received the PU0707 update OTA and sure enough everything updated on the server.

You may want to remove the VCX nano from your original post.

After multiple uninstalls and reinstalls of FDRS, VX Manager and associated drivers, it will it not show up as an option in FDRS.

Buying a mongoose plus after wasting my 1st license.

I use a VXNano and havent had issues. Your post history shows you couldnt get it to work over a month ago. Did you ever get it to work or have you been trying to get it to work over the month?
Regardless, The mongoose is a good call. Hopefully its not a PC issues and you have the same results with the mongoose.

I've used a nano the whole time. Don't network update and don't have a CCM so had nothing to brick there.

A mongoose is certainly a better option yup but I was on a budget

I don’t see the update in my FDRS Que. @jessie-infotainment can my VIN take the upgrade? If so could you shoot it to me please sir?

The new APIM update he is helping people with is for the 2022MY. Its not available for 2021.

They were pretty busy yesterday on your truck. Attached is a list of the work they did. It still shows quite a few updates pending also.

@RickBullotta @rugedraw

Any change either of you could have a quick look at my VIN again? Radio silence from the dealership yesterday, just wondering whether they’ve been able to make any progress. Either way, I’m not planning on leaving it with them over the weekend, just wanting to get an idea of what to expect when I pick it up at the end of the day / be more informed when I’m in there.

Thanks again, blown away by the amount of knowledge and willingness of others to help out on this forum!

Hi all

Haven’t been here for a while.

Does anyone know what these updates are for?

22-PU0727-VI-FXA

22-PU0706-SCH-POPA

Which module do they pertain to and what is each update for?

Thanks

Looks like they worked on it quite a bit a little bit on the 21st (looks like maybe a new module got installed), quite a bit on the 22nd (mostly regarding issues with the anti-lock brakes), and not much on the 23rd although they looked at the procedure/FSA 21G01 for installing BlueCruise (but did not appear to start and of the updates).

Those updates are for the APIM and GWM. They are to prepare your truck for future updates. It is the equivalent of 3.5.2 on the 22MY trucks.

Just to do a final check, I tried one more time.
Completely removed all traces of the first install.

Followed the guide exactly, upon starting FDRS “FDRS has detected an issue with VCI Software”

Wants me to update it, but the update link is down. I have it saved from the original time I did this but the instructions on the first post say nothing about this.

FDRS version 33.5.3
VCX - NANO firmware 1.9.1.2
VX Manager 1.8.6.1224

Got my Mongoose Plus this morning, immediately worked with no issues.

This is a little off topic, but I wonder what the thought is about time between checking for updates on FDRS. I updated my truck on Sept 10th. What would be a reasonable time to wait?

Do you mean when should you pony up license fee$ again?

So far the community has been fortunate to have someone(s) with active license that will generously check for others. So there's no reason to ri$k 50.

It seems that Ford is releasing updates roughly once a quarter. December/January will likely be the next time there may be something worthwhile to get a license for updates again.
