That is an email telling you you signed up for Ford marketing spam. Nothing to do with updates. You'll probably want to unsubscribe that unless you are fishing for a PCO.Is there anything else to be done with these or just wait for the OTA to kick in? Oddly I received this email from Ford yesterday so maybe they are starting to roll out:
I have only done bambi lights and changed the headlight switch to remain in last state.. but so far with all the modules updates i have done I've never had my forscan modes revert back to as built..
No updates sent since September. You're waiting for your VIN to be added to the OTA roll-out plan for the 6.x.x updates as are many other vehicles that stopped after the 4.x.x updates. With that said, that has nothing to do with your BC not working. Stand by while I look into that further.
Your OTA history is clean and extensive. As far as power-up updates go, you are up to date.
That was the last update you got. Before that, your truck was getting the old 2.x.x updates sent to it. Vehicle history shows FDRS was used to update several modules. It is difficult to say where you are in the OTA process right now because the updates the dealer did means there are certain OTA's you will no longer get. Your truck is on Sync 23159 which is only one version behind the latest, so nothing to worry about in your case.
No OTA's have been recorded being sent to this truck. It is on Sync 23045 which is the same Sync version it left the factory with when it was built on 12/23. I don't think this is due to the truck having any kind of OTA related problems. Just looks like this VIN has not been added to the OTA roll-out schedule yet.
Thanks a lot for the in-depth research! That's disappointing that it's a simple update that's keeping BC from working. When this gets corrected (or maybe if...), do you think the truck will receive those other 6.x.x updates also? Onto the next phase, let's see if Ford will help out.
Once that update gets released and you get it, it will allow the rest to be released and you will eventually get them. Your dealer didn't seem to mind performing updates on the truck....they did a lot of them. The problem you are going to have is convincing your dealer that there is a problem to begin with, at this issue is not something that Ford dealer-level employees are aware of.
They did make a comment they were open to feedback if we find out why it failed the driving test for BC. So fingers crossed making them aware of this larger issue above their level will get a response. You're right though, I feel like I was lucky with the work they did so far since it sounds like others are pulling teeth to get the dealer to help them with the software side of things.
If they are willing to listen, tell them they need to open a ticket with engineering and tell them your truck's GWM is at the -LKB version which is not the latest and FDRS is not showing a GWM update for you. Ford engineering needs to release the next GWM to your vehicle on the server side so that your dealer can install it. Once they install that GWM and do a network scan, another update will pop up....it could be an APIM, TCU or maybe another GWM. They need to do that update and the next one until an IPC update shows up. Once they do that IPC update, your BC will work. The IPC update is what you need for BC to work, but because these updates have to be installed in a sequential order, the IPC update will not show until the GWM and a few others are installed first.
