Request VIN Lookup Thread

[Dnpbakon]

Well two of them would be updated as a result of you expressing a 'concern' that something wasn't working correctly...and the tech would research that and find that a certain software update would solve that problem and do the update under warranty. That's how this normally works.

So if you have an iPhone and it gets too warm while charging, or doesn't charge properly you'd tell the service advisor and the tech would read the TSB that says to update the WACM module.

The BCM could be a lot of things. I would defer to others here on the forum to suggest what a good reason would be to get that updated.

The APIM is your SYNC module and that one is hard to justify unless it's just not working correctly or some menu items are grayed out etc.

Many times I've heard of dealers doing updates while the vehicle is in the shop for routine maintenance. They want to get paid somehow.

So In a perfect chain of events, I have a scheduled service date for the 25th to get an oil change, and my A/C system checked. It turned off randomly on a road trip so hoping there’s a reason.

Then ironically my Apple CarPlay DOES disconnect randomly, AND my phone does get SUPER hot when using the charging pad ??.

Anyone able to look up my vin please! I haven’t been getting OTA updated and I’m hoping there’s a new PCM update for mine

You got 3.5.2 8 days ago and no other updates pending in your queue at this time. Your truck being a 2022 has all the previous updates already on it from factory.

Can someone check my vin for all OTA and any other updates? Seem to be having intermittent battery issues. 1FTFW1E83MKD79051

No OTA's in the past 60 days other day one of the two small patches 2021 owners get before they get 3.5.2.

Also, you truck is not recording any DTC's indicative of it having battery issues, but when it doubt, have the battery tested.

Would someone mind checking my VIN for pending module updates and OTA update failures? I have a 2021 Job 1 truck that has had some issues with OTA updates in the past, but I believe it very recently got (at least somewhat) caught up. On the module side, I'm curious to see if there are pending updates for APIM, PCM, and DCACA (wonky pro power issues) specifically, but would be grateful for the full list. Thanks in advance.

VIN: 1FTFW1ED9MFB18464

You had 3.5.3 sent to you and install 8 days ago. I can only see 60 days back so I don't know if you got all the older updates your truck was due to get.

@rugedraw
Just curious, I have FDRS and should be up to date but wondering on the OTA stuff since my Ford Pass shows this.
I have full screen CarPlay too.

No OTA history in the past 60 days. If you have full screen carplay, then you updated yourself up to at least 3.5.3 and possibly beyond. It is possible that Ford will send you 3.5.3 and it will fail since your truck already has it.

@Mike G @rugedraw Thanks both of you for the info. I guess I'm off to the dealership to see what they will update.

 

[dsbatchelder]

I can show you what updates you have available in FDRS...I can't see OTA status.

Have that battery checked. It just probably needs replacement. Many of them went bad in the first year (mine lasted 3 months).

Here's the list for today:

Thank you, but what does this list mean? Is everything on my truck up to date? I would assume the list shown are updates that have been applied?

Good morning Javier

I have a couple of updates showing, ACU & APIM. Can you check and see if I have anything slated to be sent out? I am at 22228 on my sync and having a hard time getting a license of just the APIM. The ACU is for adding a sub, which I am not.

That is a list of every module on your truck that is pending an update.

No OTA data in the past 60 days and no OTA in your queue. 3.5.3 is an APIM update, so when you get that, it should clean that one out.

Hmmmm. Can someone provide me with a list of FDRS updates for mine? I have aftermarket subs in my truck. I wonder what that ACU update does? It would be great if it adds subwoofer controls to the factory radio.

Thanks... I have AA wide screen, just not turned on by Google yet and Alexa. I am thinking I am at 3.5.4 now and this update is little fixes. Would bring me to 22293.

I had installed the ACU update and was told by Jeese that is was more the way the amp handled the low frequencies and I did not see any sub controls when it was installed. I found my system sounded different and I PMI'ed the update and went back to my original settings.

Ah ok. I've noticed that the truck somehow lowers the bass by itself when I raise the volume. It's like if the DSP somehow knows there is more bass than there is supposed to be and tones it down. I find it very annoying. I think I may just pay the stupid $50 for a 2 day FDRS pass and apply the update to see if it helps with that.

That's the list of updates that haven't been applied.

I guess I should have made that a bit clearer. When someone asks for a VIN check I use FDRS to provide a list of any outstanding available updates.

These are updates that the Ford engineers have deemed desirous to update, but whether they will be an OTA or whether they will be done by a tech (or DIY) using FDRS is down to whether you're having an issue that would cause one or more of them to be updated under warranty (by the tech)...or whether they just sit there in the list forever waiting to be applied. Ford does not provide updates for modules 'just because'. There had to have been a reason they thought a module update needed to be provided. That doesn't mean your dealer tech is just going to do them all when they show up in the list...they aren't getting paid to do that.

I think my VIN check request may have gotten lost in my other post since I was responding to a question when I asked for it, so I'll ask again here. Anyone with FDRS please post a list of module updates for my truck:
