Temperature readout showing in HVAC control knobs for 2023 F-150?

[tbinmd]

Did you have to buy new knobs? And I notice you have the heated steering wheel, when was yours built?

The module is everything, knobs and all.

I just ordered one for mine with the assistance of @dolsen. Motorcraft part # is CCM-403. Royalty OEM Parts had the best price I could find.

Did you give them your real VIN number? or a Donor VIN ? I read that the parts dealers are not happy to give you the part if your truck didn't come with it.

I don't recall entering a VIN when I ordered it. I searched Google for the part number, clicked on their link and added it to the cart.

Post pics once you’re done.

Once the truck arrives, I will be happy to do so!

In case it is helpful for other XLT owners that dont want the heated steering wheel controls on the HVAC, the part number below was on the box in addition to CCM-403-1X.

Make sure you back up your HVAC as builts before swapping the module

I'm an idiot and didn't read this thread first. I swapped my new module in last night thinking it would just be plug and play as I have a 502a. Well it does work but not all functions work. I realize now I need to load my as built data on it. I'm assuming I need to swap back in my old module, save its as built data, then swap in my new unit again and program it. Is this correct or am i screwed that I didn't back up my unit first before unplugging it and swapping the new one in? Thanks

If you have your factory as-builts saved somewhere, or you can pull them from the motorcraft service website, then you can write them all in. That may be faster than swapping them back, but has a much higher incident rate for mistakes. I personally would not swap them and just manually enter factory as-builts, but I’m *generally* very careful and mistake free when changing as builts, though I’m certainly not perfect

I just tried pulling my as built data from the Motorcraft website after reading this and received an error. Is it working for you guys?

I thought the updated version of Forscan will automatically pull the AB data from the Motorcraft website based on your VIN, so no need to manually backup AB anymore? Should just be able to click Load AB and it will put the values in, so no need to swap back to the old unit.

even if this doesn’t work, once you can get the AB files from the Motorcraft website,copy the data and paste it in a spreadsheet and then you could manually write all the blocks in the new HVAC module

I forgot about that function, I’ve never used it, but it could be worth a try

Thank you! I got my cable, got forscan and the extended license. Was able to pull the hvac module, load as built information and write it no problemo. Easy as could be, even for a forscan newbie like me. Turned the truck on and all the buttons seem functional as they should. Love it.

EDIT: I’ll leave my post but I think I’m just a dumbass. But im not sure.

Has anyone done the swap then felt the Heated Steering Wheel not seem as hot? I don’t know if it’s just my mind playing tricks on me but I swapped my controls last night. Swapped the as builts and even took a photo of each before and after.

Today the wheel didn’t really seem to get warm much at all. It’s already set to B on 724-06 so 35C which is 95 Freedom Units. Am I over thinking this? Truck was on for about 15 minutes when the wheel didn’t really feel getting warm.

Are you saying you already had the heat steering wheel and after swapping to the digital readout HVAC the steering wheel doesn’t get as hot as before?

Yes. I have a factory heated steering wheel and this morning it didn’t feel nearly as hot. There’s no way it was at 95 degrees that’s for sure. The hottest is only 5 degrees more.

EDIT: I’m pretty sure it was just my mind playing tricks. It’s in the 70s here and was only kinda cold this morning like 63. It probably wasn’t as noticeable as quick and with this on my mind made me over think. I just ran it outside and it seemed to be fine. I definitely like having the digital temperature knobs though. Makes it feel a bit higher class.
