Request VIN Lookup Thread

[Big Dog Daddy]

Sorry... was not clear... I was asking about updates that I have already gotten either OTA or with FDRS.

Every update in either FDRS or OTA is basically a replacement of old software, file or files with an updated version of the file or files on the particular module that's being addressed by the update. If modules are updated within FDRS there will be a history of modules updated during a session. Date time, module, strategies or file names. This history is permanently recorded on Ford's severs for the associated VIN and has a lifetime look back. An APIM update for example can have 16 to 20 files loaded with an update to a new SYNC version. Sometimes just one file will be replaced, such as a nav software file within the APIM which can also lead to a new SYNC version number.

Within the PTS system such as what rugedraw is looking at, you are able to see the last 90 days of OTA history. This to shows the module that was addressed by the OTA, a date and time stamp as well as the software file names that were updated as well as the previous file names that were replaced. This history does not appear in FDRS.

There isn't really a way to see a complete linear, blow by blow history of every update that happened to every module on the truck. For the most part it doesn't really matter as long as everything works post update. Kind of like updates on a phone once you get the new android version it doesn't really matter what the old version was, other than if something doesn't work. Then you get pissed off but all you can do is hope they fix it in the next update. ?

Let's just hope we don't have overheating trucks like iPhones are due to software updates.

Fortunately I had no issues with iPhone 15 Pro Max or with iOS 17 with respect to overheating. Let's hope for similar luck with the truck updates!

To explain why I asked...
I am tracking what updates I have received by OTA, and what ones I used FDRS to install. I wanted to find out what updates I am missing. I know I have not received the 4.3.x and above. The last one I received via OTA was 22-PU-1009-PPO-SI on August 12th. I have the latest APIM in FDRS.

I can understand that I will not get or needed updates for features I don't have. But, a lot of these updates are;
" Some minor fine-tuning so your vehicle can easily install the more detailed updates coming down the road".

This is just my thoughts.

I'd wait until something good comes along, like maybe the BC updates, then FDRS truck to get current.

I installed the 4.3.x updates via FDRS because my IPC can't update itself OTA. Then had the pro power OTA come in as my first OTA since owning the truck. I'm still waiting to see the next APIM update for owners manual and see if that can install without my help.

I don't have BC or pro power. Just a XLT XTR 302a.

 

[Kanuck]

Last OTA he got was 4.2.1, so the rest should be pretty straight forward.

Looks like you have your work cut out for you. If the IPC fails the traditional way and you have to CAN it in, it'll be 3-4 hours.

Update.... 6 hours later all were done. He has reported much better driving experience. He is happy...

I don't have or want full BC, but I expect the updates will somehow benefit the adaptive cruise on my Lariat. Until I see posts here about it I'm just letting OTA process do what it does. I kept track of my own updates on FDRS and OTA as you are thinking but it's just to know I'm not missing out on anything cool.

I agree with your logic......

EDIT: Anyone know where I can find the battery module reset procedure? I installed a battery maintainer today and now my truck is showing the message to sa=tart or shut the truck off.

Thank you....worked like a charm.

Can someone check 1FTFW1CD5MFB75327 for me?

Your OTA history and extensive and overall good. You had update 22-PU1009-MIL-PPO fail last month due to a software mismatch. That and the few other updates you are missing will be sent to you sooner or later. Your truck is fine and you have nothing to worry about.

So I have a DTC (as mentioned previously) that won’t go away after multiple SSM procedures to fix it. I believe it correlates to my stiff shocks as mentioned in the raptor forum with different people. Is there any way you can query the full history of my vehicle? I got it used and I’m starting to wonder if this issue I’m dealing with predates my ownership. It’s really hard to pull service records beyond what the FordPass app vaguely mentions.

On a separate note, I’ve had to reset my tcu 3x in the month I’ve owned this truck because it lost telemetry. I’m assuming there’s something going on there that’s more problematic than I can handle on my own?

I got 4.3.6 a couple of days ago. But the last FDRS session was Nov 2022 and I know some updates are not OTA. Trying to decide if another FDRS session is in order.... Can someone check 1FTFW1ED5MFB13052 for updates? Thanks.
