Request VIN Lookup Thread

[Mike G]

Thanks Mike! Every time I check for software updates, I get the message there are no new updates available. Are these updates that have to be completed by the dealer or should they be part of the pushed automatic updates, which I have enabled?

Check out the chart for OTA capability...but there is a distinction between what's capable and what is probable.

We know the WACM is not capable of OTA.

The BCM and IPC are not probable. I haven't seen a BCM update as an OTA ever, and from my programming experience with the IPC it took something like 3-4 hours to do my Mach-E and F-150PB when I was doing the BC using FDRS.

PCM is possible but not probable.

The APIM is quite often done as an OTA but it depends on stars aligning, battery state of charge, how many AT&T bars you have when you're driving around, and whether or not your TCU is behaving or not.

Oh, and I would stop checking that software updates thing, cause it's always going to say you're up to date. Just keep looking for the little download symbol in the top line of your screen as a clue that somethings ready to update.

More info and clues.

Just an update to everyone that 3.5.3 is rolling out to a lot of customers. Just received the update this morning.

This makes it sound like practically nothing can be updated via OTA, so how do the rest of those modules get updated routinely?

Took me 6 hours to do the IPC on my F150.

@rugedraw Could you see if I have the 3.5.3(.2) in my OTA queue?

No action in the past 60 days and nothing in queue now.

Either talking your service tech into doing them or doing them yourself.

*Sometimes* they will be willing to do a bunch of updates while your truck is in for something else, or as a function of trying to figure out why your truck isn't getting updates. Depends on the dealer and the situation.

Damn, really making a case for the mongoose cable. Not cool that's the only route for some people.

Can someone do a VIN check please? 1FTFW1E83MKD79051

The dealer is supposedly working on my truck today and was hoping to see if something changed with regards to the error codes. Thx!

Please check my vin for updates - 1FTFW1E88NFB94570

Thank you!

Can anyone take a peek at 1FTFW1E85MFA22804, see how the dealer is fairing with the modules updates.

Doesn't look like they've done much yet. Today they pulled a few TSB's and ran diagnostics, but it doesn't show they did anything else yet.

No OTA history in the past 60 days and no OTA in your queue at this time.

They were able to update your APIM on the second try. After that, they did some HVAC module configuration. I don't anything else done after that.

You have not gotten any OTAs sent to you in the past 60 days and none in your queue at this time.

They actually just replaced the battery and claim the battery was the likely cause of the other codes that originally showed up. I have a bad feeling this week long ordeal will need to be duplicated at some point prior to bumper to bumper expiring.
