ECU module programming guide using FDRS

I drove from Amarillo Texas to Tulsa Oklahoma and back this week with BC active 98% of the time, outside of the usual occasion ping pong it was mint, I found lowering the cruise from 80 to 75 helped immensely

Try running an IPMA calibration procedure with FDRS or FORScan. It helped a lot with the ping-pong on my truck.

I usually run at 79 because on a downhill it will go over 80 and kick off.

I need to do this my ping pong got worse when I added larger tires a few weeks back. Is there instructions posted somewhere on how to do this with FORscan?

Not that I know of. When I did it, I did it with FDRS. I know it can be done with FORScan because I've seen other people mention doing it.

Yes it can be, under IPMA and lane keep calibration or something along those lines, very simple and walks you right through it, just be on a clear road with good marked lines. Best to measure your wheel well distance as well if that changed with a lift/level, tires, etc.

Can it be done at night or only during the day

Has to be done in daylight, preferably mid day when the sun cannot dazzle or glare the camera

Huge thank you to Jesse-Infotainment. I attempted to updated my truck with FDRS today and bricked it first thing (perhaps in record time). I read the documentation, followed the ECU thread (but did not read 745 pages) felt I was ready for my first attempt and went to update my PCM module. It successfully erased the module and then started freaking out with communication errors and failed. My message center lit up like it was Christmas - but with errors. I contacted Jesse, he got me back on track quickly but my ABS module literally disappeared causing a ton of other modules to lodge their complaints. Jesse had me unhook both batteries and let the truck sit for 15 minutes - during this time he also sent me a fuse block diagram and told me to check my ABS fuse. That is when I discovered nearly every fuse in the fuse block was not seated properly. No fuses blown, all fuses reseated and then the batteries were reconnected and suddenly I had an ABS module again. I have no idea where it had been hiding but it was back and reporting for duty. From that point on everything went smooth for me. Thankfully Jesse lived up to his stellar reputation and was willing to help a stranger on zero notice without asking for anything in return. I made sure that I donated to his Christmas fund via PayPal anyway. Once he got me rolling everything was simple. In retrospect I suspect that I made a major error by not disconnecting the power for my Comma3x when I began the updates and it may have been causing the communication errors that bricked me. I unplugged it AFTER chaos happened but didn't think about how it captures signals from the truck until later. Lessons were learned today and I have complete respect for Jesse and his willingness to help. He rocks!!

This is the ride height measured in MM from ground to center of the wheel arch? Was this part of the calibration service procedure or a change in the IPMA module I need to make before hand?

100% chance that the Comma trying to parse communications it has no idea what they are was the culprit. We should probably put a note on the OpenPilot thread to remind everyone that it has to be unplugged if using Forscan or FDRS.

Yes, you need to check/change it beforehand, it just reminds you to make sure it is correct before you begin the procedure.

Is there a level of quality in the lane keep cal of the ipma? I did the cal when the roads were slightly wet this morning. Should I do it again once fully dry with better lane paint. Or if it passes, there no room for improvement?

Doing my bi-annual updates on my 22 Raptor. I’ve got a pretty good list of updates including a BCM. Is this one safe to install or should I skip it?

Gotcha I was looking through the spreadsheet, but I didnt see these values on the IPMA module. Would you be able to point me in the right direction?
