ECU module programming guide using FDRS

As far as I know it shouldn't stop you from getting OTA updates.

From what I understand, a BCM will not update over the air. My question is, will an uninstalled BCM update prevent other OTA updates from installing?

No it will not. Just recently I got 3.5.2 OTA and I've had the BCM sitting in my que to install for months.

I updated 13 of 14 modules for my Explorer ST. For some reason the auto-up does not work on either front window now after updating the DDM and PDM, and I have no idea why. Also the ACM was updated but that update continues to pop up. Is this just a network error on Ford's end?

What can I do about all of the modules showing DTC's? How do I figure out what is wrong with them? I see the self-test feature, but I do not want to screw anything up by doing something weird either. Any help is appreciated

you need to run the windows Initialization to address your windows issues after an update. You will see it in the menu for those modules. The self-test will not hurt anything and will give you the option to clear them.

Awesome, that did the trick. This FDRS is finicky though, not sure why but I got an error saying the calibration was unsuccessful for both windows, but the auto up works on both now... but now I am getting DTC's for both rear windows

I would select clear and retest at the top of the screenshot. Also, the correct name is Window Initialization. If you ran the configuration that's okay but you only need to run the initialization.

Thanks, I ran the initialization and it worked beautifully, I cleared and retested twice on the PDM and DDM and the error wouldn’t go away, but nothing stopped working that I could tell. Front rear windows had auto up and down and the rear windows worked as expected. I’m not too worried about the DTC’s, more annoyed than anything

Anyone else loose their camera's at speed ability with the latest 22228 APIM update? When I hit the button now I am just greeted with the rear-view-camera with no option to switch it.

Here are my current values. They match the ForScan sheet to enable cameras at speed. Job 1 Lariat with 360 camera's

APIM
7DO-01-01 xxxx xxxx Fx
7DO-01-04 xxxx EDxx xx

IPMA

Thanks, I give them a try.

Woke up this morning to my TCU not working. Un able to get an update or start/unlock via the app. No connectivity options in sync and the test setting for connectivity shows all red except ECG.

Anyone with access to PTS able to see if there are any DTCs? Modem serial number still shows in the about in sync.

Saturday night I updated my PCM, BCM, IPMA, TCU, APIM, and GWM. It took about 6 hours in total. The PCM, GWM, TCU, and BCM took about 30 mins total. the APIM and IPMA took somewhere around 2-3 hours each.

I'm fairly certain that the PCM update got rid of the low RPM trans shudder in gears 7-10 (I haven't noticed the shudder in about 50 miles of driving with the update, and it happened literally everytime I drove it).

I am not a fan of the APIM update. Sure it got me full screen carplay, but it messed with my factory nav in a way that I really loathe. The factory nav automatically defaults to 3D heading up every time I restart the truck, I much prefer 2D north up. Another thing that REALLY bugs me is that when I manually zoom out, it automatically zooms back in instead of keeping it at the zoom I manually select. This essentially kills the factory nav for me. I like to zoom it out so that I can keep an eye on traffic and avoid whichever roads I choose.

Jesse, good morning.

Is there anyway possible to remove that stupid AF "Full View Not Available" banner from displaying?

That is the most ironic and ridiculous thing. Full view isn't available because some nitwit stuck a banner in the middle of the frikkin screen. Thanks Captain obvious!

We have tried everything we can think of and have not had success. If and when we do I will make sure we all know. I do not know why Ford does this. it is only them. I have driven chevy and Ram and they do not have it in the middle of the screen.

I do know that its in one of the vbf files on the APIM. How to edit a vbf file....I dunno.
