  1. Issues adding an OEM electric trailer brake controller to a 2024 Lariat ER

    It is a software issue as I had the exact same issue early on with my trailer. The answer initially was to reconnect the trailer and then go into the menu options and deselect whatever trailer as the current trailer. Then disconnect the plug. After I did the TRM software update (and likely...
  2. NHTSA Recall - Loss of Steering from Front Control Arm Separation (Impacting certain 2023 to 2024 builds)

    What Ford issued was an Advance Notice. With details to follow. They have to write up the remedy, and provision the repair parts in the system so they are available when the actual recall is released.
  3. Vehicle won't turn on, forscan won't connect, cannot fix, looking for advice

    ? FDRS and the techs that use it at dealerships have the required permissions to perform the latest BCM update (requires PATS permission in the dealer's server system). Attempting to use a beta version of FORSCAN to update a module that has security restrictions in place for that same BCM...
  4. Vehicle won't turn on, forscan won't connect, cannot fix, looking for advice

    Tweaks to asbuilt settings are one thing. Module updates using FORSCAN are not something I would consider doing.
  5. Vehicle won't turn on, forscan won't connect, cannot fix, looking for advice

    I have to say, I'm not really surprised that a BCM update that's been 'embargoed' by Ford to be done only by those with the correct permissions (authorized dealer techs with PATS permissions, or NASTF locksmith techs) doesn't work when FORSCAN is used to try and update it.
  6. NHTSA Recall - Loss of Steering from Front Control Arm Separation (Impacting certain 2023 to 2024 builds)

    My SA and I were talking about this the other day, and he said this problem was first brought up or found on Broncos. He told me that they had to replace the ball joint if the nut was loose because there was no way of knowing whether there had been any damage to the stud due to the loose nut...
  7. NHTSA Recall - Loss of Steering from Front Control Arm Separation (Impacting certain 2023 to 2024 builds)

    Hex socket and breaker bar on the ball joint stud to counterhold, while your torque wrench with the box-end tight clearance adapter is set at 90 degree offset to the wrench handle. (I would rather use a box-end adapter in this situation than a crows foot to keep from rounding the nut). With the...
  8. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    So what's the IPMA update time using the Master Tech II? Same as a VCM II?
  9. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    I know that the VCM 3 is a lot faster than a VCM 2 or a comparable J2534 device like the Mongoose + Ford, or Bosch Master Tech. I believe what they are trying to tell the techs is that if you have a VCM 3 in the shop, put down the VCM 2, and go get the VCM 3 out of the cabinet because this will...
  10. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    This is what you'll see right after you click "Run".
  11. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    There are a lot of reasons and at least one of them I already posted in response to your previous post about it. You can do a search on the ICE forum and easily come up with threads like this. Or maybe this post from one of the legends in the area of programming. It's been said many, many...
  12. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    It's been reported that the Nano does work to perform updates. But there's a catch. Apparently (and this is anecdotal, as I don't have one) what happens is the data that is returned back to the cloud that the Nano reports ends up corrupting the Ford server side (I think it's asbuilt data they're...
  13. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    The ACM and RFA have been problematic since the day they came out around the middle of September. They have refused to drop off the list for everybody who've tried them. The PSCM not dropping off, at least initially for me, was an issue I believe to do with the IPMA not being configured during...
  14. CSP 24B56 - Inoperative Front Parking Sensor(s) - IPMA Software Update for Certain 2022-24 F-150 Lightning Trucks

    @Ford Motor Company There's a "bug", or rather an "omission" in the latest IPMA scripted update (IPMA/PSCM coordinated updates). I've experienced it personally, as have others on this forum who've done their own updates, and it goes unnoticed because the update appears to complete properly...
  15. My Ford Pass Patience Is Wearing Thin

    If I've left my truck plugged in to charge overnight, and I then press the start charge button in FP the next morning.....I fully expect that it will evaluate the current state of the HV battery, and promptly decide that it's charged enough, and stop charging. So I'm not sure how much battery...
  16. CSP 24B56 - Inoperative Front Parking Sensor(s) - IPMA Software Update for Certain 2022-24 F-150 Lightning Trucks

    I noticed something today that I've seen before but since I don't often drive when it's dark, I'd forgotten about it. Anyway....I started the truck this afternoon and the IPC brightness setting popped up in the middle of the display, indicating it was full bright. So I reached down and bumped it...
