Request VIN Lookup Thread

[JEB]

Rugedraw it's my understanding that something in the 4 x updates screwed up TCU settings on some trucks, this is why there not reporting to the cloud or getting updates. The cellular connectivity is broken. This is why Ford is pushing 23-PU1113-UNX-DC so hard right now, to get these trucks back online. Some of these guys will need to get there trucks connected to wifi in order to receive 23-PU1113-UNX-DC because Ford locked themselves out from sending ota's via. Cellular. Ford's only option is to send this wifi, to get them back online.
Once they get 23-PU1113-UNX-DC OTA'S will start to flow again.

You can also check the country code in the TCU to make sure it’s correct if you have access to FORScan and remaining connected to WiFi for an update is impractical. The country code for the TCU can be found here:

754-10-01 **** --

In the US, the country code in the first four bits should be 5553 (55 in hex = “U” in ASCII; 53 = “S”). In Canada, it should be 4341. I’m not certain if manually correcting the country code will fix an offline TCU, but it’s evidence of a problem if the code is wrong.

FRDS updates

Dealer is currently in the process of keeping my truck for 3-days + weekend...I'll be interested to see what they've updated and what's missing and if nagging will help get the rest updated...

Thanks, again!

I'm also in a lurch with '21 - dealer said my APIM needs to be replaced for $1,300 as my Sync 4 won't update (but says it is updated). Will someone please check my VIN to help diagnose if replacing APIM is the solution - 1FTFW1E83MFB17491?

Lots of knowledgeable people on here and I appreciate the insights.

Of course they said that. ?

A statistic that we will never know exactly, but I'd guess that the number of APIMs replaced by dealerships that were completely salvageable is in the 90+% range.

What they don't know far outweighs what they do, regarding these kinds of things. Which surprises me more 3+ years in than it did originally.

Is there a way to really know for sure?

Yes sir.
First, upload a screenshot of the Sync version your truck is on. That will confirm whether or not your APIM is stuck in the infamous OTA purgatory that first caused the epidemic of replaced APIMs.

If you are NOT stuck at that version, it's highly likely that your truck can be caught up on all the module updates manually and straight forward.
