Why not follow that back to the battery and put the clips on the flat connector piece before the monitoring electronics? You would have more to bite on to and it is technically the same ground point but 8 inches closer to the battery.
I’ve noticed that the Mongoose adaptor and Forscan seems to not be able to read all modules. With my MX adaptor there are extra modules that show up and are readable, I can’t recall exactly without looking again but I believe they were SODL/SODR (Or SODCMC/SODCMD) and BCMC.
Is this inability a...
It’s still cheaper than buying the Ford VCM3 at a price of $1,600 USD list. I just spread the cost out, any of my family or friends that want their trucks fixed I ask for a small donation of their choice.
I was talking with the Ford OTA group today questioning the OTA system and it’s operability. Long story short is they are supposed to release the update to fix the 1.7.1 problem by the end of the month. They did not say though if this would be another OTA fix or if it would be a dealer fix.
For those of us in Canada that have done all the updates but not received their BC activation through the FordPass app or online all I can say is be patient. It took 48 hours for mine to kick off and I received this today!
Anyone have access to PTS? For some reason my VIN is showing the following and I suspect it may have something to do with OTA update not working but also not being able to send data to the mothership?
Still no activation for me and my AB data looks bang on. May be a Canadian thing that we’re not getting past the activation pending. Any Canadian trucks that are updated get a successful activation?
Lucky! I’m still waiting for mine to change from “Activation Pending”. Hope this isn’t a US/Canada thing where is Canadians get shafted and have to continue to wait.
Interestingly these values are now gone in my AB information after the latest rounds of updates.
Just for the sake of things I re-ran all the available updates even though they didn’t clear and then allowed it to re-run a network scan. All my AB info looks good now.
Does the hands free option only show up after BC has changed from “Activation Pending” to “Activated”? I’ve done all the updates, reset the APIM, GWM and TCU through Forscan and I don’t see the hands free driving option anywhere in the APIM yet.
curious if you could post a picture of what...
Quick note on the “Restart” time when doing the APIM and GWM updates. I’ve had great luck with having the drivers door open, vehicle off and waiting for all interior lights including the USB lights to turn off. Then doing a KOEO to complete the update.
Edit: when doing your APIM if the front...
FWIW, the IPMA, GSM, ABS and one other module I can’t remember never cleared for me after they updated but they definitely updated. Often times you need to do a network scan to see new modules that may have updates available. Sometimes one update depends on another.
Did your PC go to sleep? I had one do that and afterwards I turned off any power management so it never goes to sleep and never turns off the display. Haven’t had a problem since.
