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

Cursed with the small 360 cam now

I'm not sure if i have the small 360 view display. Can you guys look at this snapshot and determine if i have the small display? This 360 pic isn't much wider than the volume knob, but i can't remember how the display normally looks.

Thanks.

Yours is normal. The only issue is on 22's where the dealer didn't follow directions so they're left with the black box around the image until it's either fixed in FDRS or FORScan.

Ahh... ok. I thought for sure that the 360 was bigger than that.

In fact, it doesn't look any bigger than @MichaelCA "s post that I quoted.

It was bigger but the update also changed the size and how the menu on the left was displayed so we're stuck with it. Maybe enough people will complain to Ford and they'll revert back to the previous since within the next decade.

Just had my front sensor CSP done on Monday. And the dealer apparently did not hook up a power supply to my 12v. Luckily I came in with 100% 12v charge. But when I picked it up it was very low. I was getting low battery warnings on the center screen, etc. after driving a couple days everything was back to normal. As for the front sensor update; I didn’t really notice any difference in the sensors kicking in as I pulled up close to my garage door. It still only starts beeping when I’m extremely close, which is kind of dumb in my opinion. My other vehicle (Toyota Highlander) starts the initial beeping like 4 ft away. However, I did notice that bluecruise is better able to to detect suddenly stopped traffic on the highway and brake sooner than it used to. So that’s a plus.

I kinda miss the heavier steering feel

Is that a side effect? I noticed my steering felt a little different too but I thought maybe it was just in my head.

Power steering module gets reprogrammed as well. I noticed it almost immediately when I picked it up. Less of a center feel and the camber of the road pulls the steering differently. I’m sure I’ll get used to it but I liked the old power steering boost level.
I wonder if the FORScan gurus can find a setting to tweak???

Haven’t done update yet.
I prefer sport mode on 100% of time in my truck. Steering has a tighter feel and overall drive more enjoyable.

I tried sport on the way home today to see if it stiffened up, still felt lighter than the old “normal”

Wow I didn’t know this. Well that explains why it feels different to me. Yeah I definitely liked how it was before. More stiff.

I had the front sensor CSP update done last Thursday. As soon as I picked up the truck from the dealer, I noticed the vehicle wanted to go into battery saver mode when shutting down, and the LVB % SOC was only a few percent by Car Scanner. Hours of charging with a Noco Genius 2 charger or running the truck in full-accessory mode plugged into my FCSP could barely get the LVB % SOC reading into the teens.

However, I think the problem is not that the update trashed the LVB capacity (my dealer says they always use a power supply backup in flash programming, but the CSR couldn't tell me how big a rig!). If I read the LVB voltage across the jump points in the frunk, I get readings like 12.57V, 12.64V at 65F to 72F. That suggests the LVB is charged to 80% to 90%. Seems more likely that the update screwed up the BMS or its communication with other modules. Rather than trying to cure it myself by disconnecting the negative LVB terminal, etc., I'm just going to bring it back to the dealer this coming Thursday and let them figure it out. I've only driven the truck 47 miles since the update. Maybe if I drove much more, the issue would straighten itself out as it did for @MountainAlive. The customer service rep was pretty sanguine about the whole thing, pointing out that the battery on my 2023 was still under warranty and would be replaced at no charge if it got messed up. But the service tech(s) should have noticed the battery saver mode bit when they started it up after the update and not let the vehicle out of their shop until they figured out which way was up.

As a side note, when I shut down the vehicle, whether plugged into my FCSP or not, the vehicle will often try to recharge the LVB, as it should if the LVB % SOC is reported below 30%. The charging will run for many tens of minutes and inevitably stops without raising the Car Scanner LVB % SOC very much. Presumably, the BMS is sensing that little current is being input into the battery at the applied voltage of 14.5V that Car Scanner reports, and the charging mechanism eventually quits. Hopefully, these repeated attempts to charge an already well-charged LVB are not doing any permanent damage...

My understanding is that lead acid batteries last longer with a full charge.

So I just picked up a 22 today and mine is definitely the small one. What do I tell the dealer when I go back? I still have warranty here to work with.

Have the tech look at step 11 on 24B56.
