ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[abd79]

No sure if anyone is still not receiving the Ford Pass notification activating your blue cruise like I was. I was looking at my module info and I had what looked like corrupted info at least mild corruption on the APIM and GWM. I am using a mongoose so it kind of surprised me. When I did my updates last night I didn't run the toolbox app for the mongoose thinking it was good to go.
Anyways, I decided to run the mongoose through the toolbox app to make sure and then hook up again to FDRS to scan. Toolbox ran fine and nothing needed fixing. Hooked up FDRS and ran a network scan. Everything was green and I went into the house to get my phone and download the module info again. Before I took a few steps inside I got a Ford Pass notification on my Apple Watch saying my blue cruise was activated. Downloaded the module info and this time it all looked good. If yours is not activating maybe try this just in case.
I also still have the extra characters in the IPMA. I thought I saw someone had cleared those with the recent update.

Still no activation for me and my AB data looks bang on. May be a Canadian thing that we’re not getting past the activation pending. Any Canadian trucks that are updated get a successful activation?

Anyone know why this keeps happening? GWM does this too. I updated the IMPA, PSCM, and GSM And they went through but they won’t leave the list either. Just stay there with a green Run button next to them.

Typically if an update involves multiple modules and fdrs doesn’t run through them all sequentially it claims the update ended in an error state because the other updates didn’t run

Not sure if what I said made any sense

People are also NOT paying attention to the posts in this thread where some modules like posted by @Platinum Peasant will still show up even after a successful update. I am personally getting hammered via Conversations from many and they're thinking a PMI is going to resolve the issue.

Just curious on other people's thoughts. Given the potential for issues after updates for people that made FORScan changes, would it make sense to create a FORScan AsBuilt backup before starting? At the very least, download the data from the Motorcraft Service site?

So according to the widget this is the last OTA

I got. I have done all updates via FDRS with a mongoose. Im showing Handsfree in my sync screen

available until 10/9/2022 but not a word in my connected services or email or notification in Fordpass showing Bluecruise is available. I went for a ride on known Bluecruise Highways and got nothing. Not even my regular adaptive steering was working as usual. Now it was pouring rain so not sure if that had anything to do with it. I tried looking at my history in fdrs but I just noticed that the last session saved was March 4th. Im on FDRS daily as I have a year license. Not sure if initial GWM update failure

has anything to do with Mothership not being updated. I know my updates went through. But I am showing minor corruption reported in my apim as shown here

. Not sure what to do from here.

Ok how do you get out the TCU restart loop?

I dont see corruption in your apim unless I am missing something.

Do we know of any Confirmed Forscan changes that cause problems so far?

Interestingly these values are now gone in my AB information after the latest rounds of updates.

Just for the sake of things I re-ran all the available updates even though they didn’t clear and then allowed it to re-run a network scan. All my AB info looks good now.

This is interesting. My strategies for these IPMA nodes have also self-corrected by removing the spaces and the trailing characters. In addition, the strategies for nodes F129 and F12A have swapped positions—F129 is now in the F12A position and vice versa. I have neither applied any of the most recent round of updates nor even logged into FDRS in two weeks to do a network scan with my Mongoose. This might be further evidence of @iceman77 ’s observation that these trucks continue to self-report their local data following an FDRS update.

Should the Software PN be FFF1-14D358-FF

Thats what FDRS was reporting this morning. Yesterday after updates it was ML3T- and nothing else

I just ordered a nano (can't justify the money for a mongoose at this point) just to be clear, I should still be able to get the BC update with the nano, correct?

You won't be able to update everything with the Nano. The CCM update will not work.

This is a known quirk of the APIM. It will cycle between three values. But it isnt corruption.

@Fordphanatic Check your usb drive if you leave it in the truck won’t communicate I did it by accident
