ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Wangchung83]

You’ll probably end up running a configuration routine, but I’d start with something less dramatic first, since you aren’t showing any DTCs. Finish with the APIM update in progress. Then do self-tests on both the APIM and GWM and see if your issues resolve before proceeding with a reconfiguration.

Here’s the self test for gwm(pass), APIM(fail:/), now I am getting worried

No need to worry yet. DTCs are not uncommon during the update process. Start with a clear & retest. If it doesn’t work, skip it for now and just keep going forward with your updates and come back to it.

I agreed with @JEB......just keep going.

Btw: The GWM config tool would be found by clicking the GWM and not the PSCM. The PSCM and IPMA are tied to each other.....meaning if you start one, the other one will start right after. The IPMA will take 3 hours to complete, so keep that in mind when you get there. I would do all GWM, APIM, TCU and IPC as the appear until no more show up before moving on to the others.

Agreed. I don’t think Tremors have gotten the IPMA, however.

Power cycled the truck and ran the self test one more time and got it to pass

Good. If you have a TCU update, I’d do that next.

seems like everything is working now no more gwm or APIM under software updates:/. As @JEB posted no ipma update. Here is where I am now also no TCU or ipc updates. Just go top to bottom now except bcm? Any others to avoid? Thanks again for all the guidance you guys provide

The BCM can only be run by dealers and vehicle security professionals. So, don’t bother with that one. You can pretty much do the rest however you want.

The ACM may continue to be listed, even after a successful install. For some reason it doesn’t always clear from the list.

And if you do the DDM or PDM updates you’re supposed to do the Power Door Window Initialization for both modules. See post #2 Appendix II of this thread for where this comes from. It will cause the windows to cycle up and down a few times.

That was put in early on out of an abundance of caution because SSMs called for it. It usually isn’t necessary unless you have a problem. I haven’t initialized the modules after the last few rounds of updates.

Great to know thanks for the update.

This thread is like a gold mine but its 900+ pages is starting to make me second guess if I missed something:/. I sent private messages to @rugedraw to prevent unnecessary posts. Having a hard time believing my APIM only took 15-30 min or so, not the typical hrs everyone has throughout the thread:/. All modules are green and everything is passing except pCSM bulletin that I sent to dealer when prompted to do so. Has anyone else had only a short update for APIM?

That's what the thread is for. What takes long in terms of the APIM updates is the download and not the install itself. Maybe the servers are having a good day and it downloaded quickly?

Also JEB is correct. Ford for whatever reason has not released IPMA software for the Tremor trims yet. I hadn't noticed that's what you have.
