ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[astrand1]

So you don't see a little animated line showing the lane change as it happens either?

I get a little text "subtitle" that says it's preparing to change lanes, or changing, or whatever, but no animations.

Nope I get nothing at all. Now I’ve had 1.4 for a couple months now. Rugedraw helped me with that. So maybe it’s possible that I don’t have something configured just right. I’ve an ipma update available which I need to go out and do and then I’ll see if that changes anything.

Did you ever get the 6.8.0 OTA (or did you do an IPC update with FDRS)? DO you have the HVB % on your IPC?

I never seem to get OTA’s but that’s probably because I’m updating with fdrs. But yes I do that the batt. % on the ipc. I have an ipma update available on fdrs. Can you look and see if it’s showing as a pending ota just for Curiosity as I’ll probably just do it with fdrs at some point. thanks bro!

You have no OTAs in the queue.

But you could get the IPMA/PSCM updated for free by your dealer. You do have an open FSA for the front sensor issue (24B56).

Oh, and that Active Air Dam fault you have would get your powertrain updated as well (TSB 24-2404)

Thanks for checking. I have a yearly subscription to fdrs so I usually do the updates myself. In fact I’ve done that sensor update awhile back I’m pretty sure.

Okay, then for you this newer IPMA/PSCM combo is the one that fine tunes the BC performance.

Your IPC is on the CAC strategy. @Mike G What strat is the IPC in your Lightning on?

 

[Mike G]

I'm pretty sure that, unlike Sync updates, the IPMA/PSCM updates are cumulative.

Meaning if you waited and never got the dealer to do the "24B56 INOPERATIVE FRONT PARKING SENSORS" FSA.... then the most current IPMA/ PSCM update now appearing in the available software list not only addresses that same front parking sensor issue, but is also the BC update.

Is that info you can only see in PTS or can I see that type of info in FDRS?

Well I already have BC 1.4 thanks to rugedraw. We did that I wanna say about 2 months ago.

I'd do (or redo) that PSCM update. It will also drag the IPMA into the mix since they are scripted to be updated together. But if the IPMA has already been successfully updated, FDRS will recognize that and skip over the reprogramming and configuration, and go right into the PSCM next. That PSCM by itself takes no more than 5 minutes normally.

I tried this morning, and reapplied the PSCM update, no change. the PSCM update is still in the SW updates list.

I could not reapply IPMI update as its not there anymore.

Any suggestions? I assume the PSCM update is important with the new IPMI update.

Thanks,

You can see it in either PTS, FDRS or FORScan. FDRS and FORScan would be the most accurate. In FDRS, click the IPC and then scroll done to see what it says in the F188 location. You have to be missing the latest IPC update if you don't see the lane change text. There really is no other explanation.

Many people who have recently updated with FDRS have reported the PSCM not coming off the list after they do it. You're good.

Sorry I didn't see this post earlier...I guess I need to check my forum settings for notifications.

IPMA and PSCM are scripted to be done together. You should get a message about multiple modules being programmed when you hit the "Run" button to start programming on either of those two.

The IPMA part of the two-part scripted update is a bit wonky. What should have happened when you did the IPMA was it should have done the block erase and replace, and then it should have checked and cleared DTCs before stepping into the "configuration" phase of the IPMA update. It didn't do the clearing of the DTCs for me, and it hasn't for several others. The end result was that the configuration step for the IPMA failed (due to DTCs that are present)...but the script went on into the PSCM update and did that. You'd actually have to be paying close attention to the messages flashing by to catch it.

So after it says the IPMA is completed, it then goes right into the PSCM part of the update. Same thing, block erase and replace, etc., but on the PSCM part of the scripted update it does actually check and clear DTCs before doing the configuration of the module.

I don't think you need to try the IPMA update again...there is a way to do it if you wanted to though (more on that below).

To fix the problem from where you are now in the process, I'd log into FDRS and clear all DTCs. Then go over to the toolbox tab and under the "All" section, scroll down until you find the "IPMA- Image Processing Module A (IPMA) Configuration" tool and download that and run it.

You will get a notification that multiple modules will be programmed.

FDRS will then get your configuration info from the cloud and put it back into your IPMA module, and then move on to the PSCM.

If it says the process is successful, then the PSCM should also drop off of the list.

If for some reason that fails, the fix would be to do a PMI on the IPMA module. (IPMA - Programmable Module Installation tool in FDRS). And when you run the PMI tool, and you're asked in the dialogs if the original module is still installed you make sure you say "No". Doing that will re-download and install the IPMA software again, and then apply the configuration settings from the cloud. It could also say afterward that it's going to re-do the PSCM update again, but once it checks and finds the software is current, it will simply reapply the same configuration settings you already have and the process should end successfully.
