Issue: Some 2022-2024 F-150 Lightning vehicles may exhibit an intermittent inoperative power hood (frunk)
during opening and/or closing with a Frunk Fault Service Required message in the IPC with DTC U2001:68 in
the FHCM with no other DTC stored in the FHCM. The power hood (frunk) will still...
Who's affected: Lightnings produced from 14 Oct '21 thru 19 Oct '22 and '23 models produced 10 June '22 thru - -
Why is this happening: "The Battery Monitor Sensor (BMS) may randomly under report the actual 12V battery capacity during an over-the-air (OTA) software update, which means that...
2023 F-150 made at Rouge Electrical Nov 21, 2022 through Jan 20, 2023
If you have the tailgate step with assist handle and fall into the effectivity range, this is for you.
This concerns the possibility of your IPC not properly recording the mileage, and the need to be replaced with a new IPC. Owner letters for those involved will be sent the week of 16 Oct 23. The program will remain in effect through 31 Oct 24.

Released this morning 18 Sep 23.
Enables the free installation of an improved dash mat above the Sync screen to hopefully preclude spilled liquids from damaging the ACM (radio) module just below it.
All Lightnings made up to and including 22 Dec '22 are included in this CSP.
Owner letters...
There have been discussions on the forum where the suggestion has been made to disconnect the 12V battery in order to "reset" some function of the vehicle that was not performing properly (TCU comes to mind for the '23 model owners). I realize that disconnecting the 12V battery is probably...
TSB 23-2169 was released yesterday (31 May 23) for '22/'23 MY Lightnings to address an issue where precondtioning of the cabin isn't working.
The fix is to update all of the powertrain related modules in the truck.
So that means the PCM, ABS, BECM, GFM2, SOBDM, SOBDMB, and SOBDMC would all get...
Dated 26 May 23 this TSB addresses an issue where a Platinum trim level Lightning may show a lower than expected vehicle range after charging with a Level 1 or 2 AC charger. This may be due to software in the SOBDMC.
The fix is to update the SOBDMC module. But wait, there's more......since the...
I did this update using FDRS a few days ago when it popped up but I have no idea what it changed. I went through all the menus and nothing jumps out at me.
Has anybody gotten this via OTA (PowerUp) that got the notes about changes?
So hooked up the trailer today to take the mower in for service.
I like to keep an eye on the load so I started investigating the camera button options.
I get to the one that is the view for the trailer and it left me wondering what the programmers were thinking when they stuck a frickin...
Turns out that the Lightning and the Mach-E share at least one thing in common (well besides several of the electronic modules like the APIM, etc.).
And that would be the 12V battery (AKA the LVB, as we are now distinguishing it from the HVB)
I was in the parts lookup today as a result of...
I haven't seen this posted anywhere, and if it is I apologize for the dupe.
I just checked FDRS to see if there was anything available for the TPMS thing and instead noticed there is an OBCC update instead.
I did the screengrab so that the tooltip version would show up.
I'll fire up the...
This is the second time I've gotten this in two days. I haven't even used, or even figured out how to use the backup power on this truck. I've just driven it. Only have 600 miles so far.
I'll pull DTCs tomorrow and see if there are any clues.
UPDATE: Shows a Remote Function Actuator error...
Under the right front side cover panel. The panel has a raised silhouette of a set of jumper clamps molded into the top of the panel. Panel is easily removable using plastic turn-lock fasteners (unlike the Mach-E).
So this is where you'll connect your powersupply when doing module updates (not...
Got the truck home and wanted to lower the tire pressures from what they get shipped as (happens everytime I get a new truck).
So I checked FordPass and noticed this:
Wow. they're really overinflated....
But just to be sure I checked the door...
Hmm.. I guess they weren't that bad after...
It sounds like either a click as the brakes release or a click from a halfshaft. This is with wheels straight ahead, drivers window down, quiet street, and it will do an audible "click" as you start off slowly, and then when you stop and reverse slowly, it does it going backwards as well. I'm...
