CSP 24B56 - Inoperative Front Parking Sensor(s) - IPMA Software Update for Certain 2022-24 F-150 Lightning Trucks

[F150ROD]

That's easily fixable, I used FORScan (free) with a cheap OBD I had on hand and it worked like magic.

Yeah, I can do that. The point is not everyone can and a OTA should have been sent immediately to fix this.

Won't argue with that. Ford would earn a lot of kudos if they stepped up the communication with us on OTA's. It would make their job easier (lots of us to report bugs) and make us more accepting of the bug knowing that they are being worked. Of course, that also assumes that OTA's are pushed out in a reasonable fashion (not taking 358 days between updates for instance).

Did they finally phase out of the punched cards?

Hey you're almost to the free frozen yogurt!

Just had this done. Dropped it off yesterday @ 8AM for this + another CSP I don’t have in my app + 20k maintenance and I’ve got it back no issues.

This view happened to me with the OTA 6.14 update. Maybe the dealer got that installed for you?

I also got this recently after an OTA update. With the new buttons on the display. Haven't really played around with them yet though.

Looks like mine. If you pull up to a wall does your front camera still activate?

Yes, the cameras still automatically activate

I’ve had 6.14 for over a month, and my camera view has never changed. I’m assuming this has something to do with the IPMA update the dealer performed.

My camera view changed with 6.14 but only slightly. The left side has all the views instead of hiding them behind a click

Possibly, I haven't had the IPMA update done because my parking sensors have been working fine and because I read about all the problems with it. Only thing the dealer has done on mine is replace the low voltage battery sensor.

Well, an update to my situation as I was able to pick up my truck the next day.

They’ve got all of the C SP’s performed. They said the issue was with the laptop they were using and not my truck and once they switched laptops everything went fine.

Just wanted to add my personal experiences to the mix on whether or not this update was worth it.

I went through some trouble in the dealer had to keep my truck overnight because of issues they had.

But today I commuted to work, I have a very limited section of highway that I get to use blue Cruise on. It would only take me about halfway to my exit before disengaging because the lines on the road were screwy and there is construction going on.

Today was the very first day that my truck took me the entire interstate section, including through that construction area and never disengaged.

There is an objective, provable improvement to how bluecruise operates after receiving this front sensor CSP. So it was worth it to me.

Is this the screen you get when approaching something? It’s what I get after this CSP

I completely agree. Getting better at software wouldn't just mike the owners lives better, it would save the company a ton of money and time. This is ridiculously difficult.

It seems that Ford's difficulty with software has to do with the fact that the way the modules were designed doesn't really lend themselves to be updated OTA very well, even on ICE vehicles. They've had to figure out how to reliably update modules that were really meant to live their life with factory software. Updating was really only contemplated if a problem arose and only by the dealer.

Other automakers like Tesla and Rivian designed their electronic architecture from the ground up to be for an EV and to allow continuous OTA updates for new features, performance, and fixes. My understanding is that Ford's next generation of EVs will have an integrated electronic architecture that will address many of the difficulties of software updates. Right now our trucks have a complicated system of various modules with dedicated functions yet all are expected to play well with each other.

I don't know the ideal setup, but it would seem to make more sense, be cheaper, and more efficient to just have one integrated module that controls everything. Right now updating or adding one feature may require rewriting software in several different modules.

I think you explained the problem very well.

But only Ford can explain why when they unveiled the latest generation. F150, they promised robust over the air updates that not only improved performance, but added new features.

I remember watching the reveal of the 2021 F150. They made it a big point.

I guess you can say it was their first swing at it so I don’t hold it against him too much… But they really didn’t know what they were doing

Did you ever get your 360 camera view the right size as it originally was and the camera activation at a wall to work yet?
