Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

[Mike G]

Well something finally showed up this morning.

I've got a new APIM (Sync) update waiting to get applied so I'll grab some coffee and fire up the FDRS laptop to update that and see if anything more pops up afterwards (as it sometimes does).

Also, PTS says my Sync system previously got updated on the 8th of Jan at 4:42 in the afternoon....I don't remember seeing anything update at that time. Maybe it was some server side update or something. Weird.

tHAT DOESNT MEAN AN UPDATE IT MEANS IT WAS INTERROGATED. tHAT was the last refresh of data on Fords server for that module.

Thanks, I thought that might be the case since nothing seemed to be actually different (rev, etc. is the same)

Also it doesn't look like an actual update is available. I don't see a new file. So not sure what the APIM update will do outside maybe a DID change

So...I just got back in the house, and you're right...I don't know what that was.

No software downloaded, just a javatest of some sort...it stepped though a bunch of this that and the other, reset the APIM, and 'cleared dtcs' a few times (I don't know if there actually were any, really) and then it was done.

No rev change, nothing visible...glare-free lights still shows as active along with my WAL settings and no real evidence that anything happened.

I've attached the javatest file I found in the application manifest folder and renamed it with a .txt extension so it can be opened with notepad. I have no idea what it was doing...I'm not the smartest on java and '.json' files.
