Can someone provide me with some instructions to recalibrate my 2021 F150 Tremor BlueCruse using FDRS? Mine has a really bad ping-pong effect and I'm fixing to go on a long road trip in a few weeks and would like to take advantage of using it some. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

I have never heard of such a thing. You can calibrate the IPMA, but I've never known that to fix ping-pong effect. Ping-pong is just a bonus feature in BlueCruise. One of the reasons so many of us have given up on BC.


Edit: Make sure there is nothing (bug guts, crack) in front of the camera on the windshield, that kind of stuff makes ping-pong worse.

You can if you want in an attempt to improve. As some have stated it may be useless..

You would in FDRS IPMA alignment

In forscan lane keep calibration

FOr best results I suggest starting the process in a Gas Station that exits to a 3 lane road. When it start pull straight out and drive in the middle lane so that the lane markers are on either side. The road needs to be well marked. The newer the better.

You can also do it off a highway. You want to make sur ehte lines are one each side of the truck.

I had the same problem with mine. An IPMA calibration with FDRS improved the issue significantly when I did it.

Going to give it a try next week. Mine is really really bad.

Mine was, too. I felt like it would give the impression my truck was being driven by a drunk driver.

I have found that with my truck, immediately upon engaging lane Centering, the truck is overly eager to move to the right extreme of the lane.
What I do is I overrule the desire, with manual control of the wheel, and then at my discretion allow it to move over to the right to its heart's desire.

Sure enough it concludes that it was mistaken for wanting to go that far, and I then allow it to "correct", but with me determining the pace at which it corrects.
At that point the truck seems to make some kind of calibration adjustment and does a pretty good job lane Centering thereafter.

Might be be a dusty old thread, but ran across this since my BC loves to ping pong and pull to the right way too much. I even hit another truck's mirror once with BC engaged, it scuffed the chrome off my RH mirror. Planning to try the IPMA alignment later this week. Anyone see real world improvements with BC doing the IPMA calibration/alignment?

I did see a decent improvement when I calibrated mine, but results have varied as some reported no change in behavior after the calibration procedure.
