ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Mike G]

Is FDRS down right now? I can login with the same credentials on the motorcraftservice website so credentials are correct.

I'm logged in now, but obviously it's hours after you tried to get in at this point.

Surprisingly still the same. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling FDRS and the same error pops up.

No difference, still the same.

Hi Everyone, I have a '21 that I was planning on updating using the Mongoose/FDRS method. I was not receiving OTA updates for as long as I owned the truck (1.5 years) and I wanted access to the trailer backup assist with the sticker (as opposed to just the yaw sensor). Last week I replaced the battery and yesterday received my first update which was 6.1.0.

From the update spreadsheet found in a different thread, I see that this update came much later than the update I need for sticker backup assist, however, I still do not have access to this feature.

I assume that receiving 6.1.0 updates only one specific module, and likely not the one that controls trailer backup assist. Should I continue with my plan to manually update or will the older updates to different modules still come? Or is there something else going on here that I am unaware of?

From my SYNC info screen:
Version: 23159_PRODUCT
Revision: 915

I am sorry if I missed something already in this thread, it is very long. Thank you all.

I am not sure if there is a FORScan setting that enables this feature. If you are on Sync 23159, it should work as long as the TRM is updated far enough to also contain the event for this. I have it on my truck, but I have never tried it myself.

Sometimes it does this you have to make new user in ford then sign in motorcraft accept the terms and you're good to go.

Freedom is scary, deal with it.

The CMR can be disabled and a 2lb ankle weight attached to the wheel. Mach Es using blue cruise as intended have killed 3 people already. What you don't know is how many saves the ADAS systems have accomplished. Try as you might you cannot legislate or enforce your way to perfection.

Feel free to speculate all you want, but do understand, it's just that. It's not fact, just speculation.

2# ankle weights are now illegal in California, Bill Text - SB-1313 Vehicle equipment: driver monitoring defeat devices.

DPRC will legislate their way to prosperity
or go bankrupt after running out of other people's money

On your way out of town you'll get to see one of the greatest sites to behold....

Not that Nevada is particularly special, it's just not the DPRC

Well I’m at a loss now.. got the order confirmation from ford late last night stating my payment was processed and subscription active.

Just took the track back on the interstate. Hit cruise control, then when I hit the driver assistance button it immediately says “lane centering system not available” followed by “lane keep assist active”. Tried it about 10 different times with the same result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I knew this whole process went way to easy for the luck I have lol

Can't thank @Jesse-Infotainment & @rugedraw enough. They got me rolled back and BC 1.4 is working flawlessly now. All you guys have been super helpful. Pretty cool community we got here.

Thanks - tried that too and it still gives me the same error.

Starting on Fdrs this morning and wondering if any particular order to start? Any help greatly

appreciated

I would start with the GWM, then BCM only if doesn’t need different log in, then PCM. After that, I would just start at the top and go down. If something shows up after the GWM, do it next.

Note....ACM may not go away after installed...this is normal and ignore it.

 

[Kanuck]

Just noticed the box below that states a an APIM and TCU will show up after the GWM.... So the GWM first, then the APIM and TCU.

Thank you both, I saw that post as well and usb currently in progress for gwm
