ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Jesse-Infotainment]

Jesse, thanks for that. I've updated the PCM this morning, took about 5 mins.

Any tips on getting the pesky GSM to clear? I've done it like three times now.

No, nothing you can do about it.

Let me know how it goes if you do it.

Any intel on what the ABS update helps with or enhances?

No idea. Has 22 part number. So maybe a tweak update.

Yep see the ABS update today. Have a modified ABS value (enabled rock crawl mode on non-FX4) so I guess I better undo

@Jesse-Infotainment with all the as-built and hardware changes do you have OTA auto updating disabled so it doesn't mess with forscan changes like we've seen with APIM and IPC updates before? Or is Ford so confused by your truck it doesn't even try to OTA?

Just finished the ASB update. 501A with Copilot 360 Assist.

Software P/N
Before: ML34-2D053-AJ
After: NL43-2D053-CA

I had a DTC in my IMPA for not communicating to the ASB module after the update. Cleared it and it hasn't returned yet.

No idea if it fixed or update anything.

I’ve had OTAs. I had two gateway OTA.. but I am usually ahead of the game doing them manually. The as build will self report. There is really no difference in an OTA and fdrs update they both act the same. The issue will come in the reconfigure after the update is done. It can cause issues like we saw with a few in ipma and so on. I don’t worry about it though at this point if something happens I just fix it but no I have not blocked OTAs

@Jesse-Infotainment , is this normal on the APIM? The ML3T- under (F12A). This is a job2 and it’s never had an APIM Update, so not related to an update. Just curious if others see the same thing; Seems odd.

Mine also shows this. I have a BC enabled Job1 2021

m seems to report in a few odd ways .. not sure why but it does even in fdrs

For the APIM Sync issue, try to force restart the module with Forscan/FDRS and see if it fixes it. I know with any Forscan change I've made, it needs to be reset to see it, or you have to let the truck sit to fully power down first.

are you saying this is a possible solution to the failed ota updates the job 1 trucks are seeing? cause ive been having the greyed out update button and no version number. i just tried the reset process with my mx+ and forscan lite and it brought back my update button and number. i'll see what happens.


*edit: gone again 30 min later.

Just did the ABS update. Everything updated fine but left the ABS update in the SW Update menu like GSM. Might clear out on its own after a few days.
