Yes you need to call the BEV team and demand they get with your dealer and cover ALL your expenses. Even Ford refers to the SOBDMA as the BCCM in some of their narratives, probably because they know how ridiculous their module acronyms are.

OBCC is Off Board Charge Controller. It's crazy they named it that when it is indeed on board. It is bolted to the top of the SOBDMA.

The SOBDMA IS the on board charger and yes it is 100% covered by the EV powertrain warranty.

First time I've seen someone say "It's better to use easy mode for the sccm module" but this is great general advice. If you can accomplish something by using easy mode by all means, it eliminates the risk of accidentally messing with the wrong memory location.

Yea, if this was to be done you'd want to have a DCDC that could transfer the power DC to the truck that way you could match the SoC use of the packs to masimize range, then like you said, you'd charge both at the same time with 2 DC fast chargers, but sadly it get's real messy and complicated...

They wouldn't do it for that reason alone, look at all the other stuff that is dependent on the correct configuration to work or at min not throw DTCs. It's very odd that the BECM is one of the modules that the community does NOT have the configuration map to yet we know it has a huge config...

I want to post this here to address a bit of confusion around a few posts @Martin Rebuilds has made on FB in reaction to OoS Rebuild's video (Alex) doing battery swaps with "no programming required". A mutual friend of ours, the late Pat Cheung was the facilities/maintenance director at Florida...

@Ford Motor Company will never release code to be open source then placed into vehicles. This would introduce all kinds of safety/warranty issues when they can barely manage things as they are. They could however implement some kind of bounty program where a seasoned software engineer would...

Yes, until a Battery or BMS Engineer comes fwd and/or tears apart the BMS (PCB) of one of these we can only speculate. There are many different passive balancing hardware and software strategies. Every 8 cells could share a resistor and that resistor is passed/shunted across different cells...

This is interesting the 48hr thing. I can't fathom why Ford would've done this and/or how no one has brought this to light yet. For most people I guess this never comes into play. For an ever day driver most people aren't leaving their trick idle (and not fully charged) for more than 48hrs at...

It's an Autel Scanner, but you can do it with FDRS cheaper if you only need to do it once.

The two harnesses are shipped to china for manufacturing quotes. As soon as that returns with a lead time and price we will put up pre-orders, probably in April.

You are clearly having a CAN communications issue with your SCCM. This sucks, sorry you are dealing with this, but you likely have a physical problem with your harness or the connectors with the CAN pins for the SCCM. Nothint to it but to physically dissassemble and inspect.

No, for a current problem, but if you were out the truck because of service within your state's time you can retroactively ask for a buyback based on that experience. Also, assuming your state has a 30-day in service with no resolution clause (which most do). What likely ends up in most cases...

This is so frustrating to me just reading this as an unofficial Ford fan. I've said it many times, everything negative that happened to the Lightning Ford did squarely to themselves. How in the world no one at FMC ever thought to equate/compare the negative press and total negative financial...
