@Mike G I had one question, as I am still learning FDRS, where do you see the details view? I probably am just missing it but thought it would be easier to ask. :)
From the Vehicle Info tab...scroll down to pick the module you're interested in from the table.
Below that is the Module Details section that if you then scroll further down it will list all the packages and strategy, etc. for the software on that module.

Like so...

Fired up FDRS to fix the 360 camera issue with the black box. Used Mike's post as a reference in the ECM thread to fix it. I also did the ACM and RFA updates and just like Mike and Kevin, they didn't clear on mine after successful flash.
I went though all the truck menus and didn't notice anything different, so no idea what it changed. No DTCs, so I'll just wait.

New FDRS update showed up yesterday.
Ford F-150 Lightning Lightning Software Updates using FDRS FDRS_Notice_41-5-6

It went from .2 to .6, so I didn't delete my user data during setup since it was a minor revision change. Works great so far.

Got new version installed, cleared old data out as usual when upgrading.
What day(s) do you usually see F150 updates drop? with MachE it was always Saturday for me. Just wondering if its the same on the trucks.

Well, someone just reported TCU update 10.1.1 on this forum a little while ago. I've never paid attention to any correlations between what day of the week it is and when an update drops, tbh.

I did the ACM and RFA updates a few days ago as well and I had the same result it still shows up in FDRS so I did it again…… same result!

Anyone experiencing issues logging into FDRS this morning? I get the log in screen and then it just times out and won't finish the log in process.

FordPass was performing poorly this morning around 7:50 am when I was trying to remote start.

Datacenter issues???

Ford F-150 Lightning Lightning Software Updates using FDRS 1726939202069-3n


I haven't checked in about two weeks but today I see a crap ton of updates including some powertrain updates. I'll almost certainly do the APIM but are the other updates safe? I'm wary we haven't seen an official lifting of the advisory on those updates yet.

@Mike G Did any powertrain updates pop up for your Lightning? Did you hear of these being re-released?

So I bought an FDRS license yesterday to get the APIM update and the new icons.

To my surprise, I had a TON of updates available but APIM wasn't one of them. I only have a 20amp power supply so I knew to stay clear of the IPMA. I proceeded with the PCM, ABS, SOBDMB, SOBDMC, SOBDM, BECM, GFM2, ACM, DCDC, TRM, RFA, OCSM, FHCM, PSCM, DDM, PDM, HVAC, SCCM, CMR (more on this one) in that order. RFA and ACM didn't clear as others have noted.

For the CMR, I totally forgot this was another big one. The battery stayed at 9.x V as it wrote all of the blocks but at the "internal operation in progress" phase the voltage dropped quickly, the truck threw a bunch of errors and FDRS simply crashed and disappeared from my screen. I let the truck sit for a few minutes then powered up FDRS again, cleared all DTCs, and ran self-test and network test. Everything looked good and CMR is no longer showing in my list.

I took the truck for a test drive and there were no errors, hands-free Bluecruise worked flawlessly, seemed to engage even faster than before, making me think all is fine.

So do I need to worry about the CMR? Since it's not showing up in the list can I assume it's updated and good to go?

Secondly, anyone know why I don't have the APIM available in FDRS?

*Edited to mention I have the BCM to update to but can't due to the login requirements. Would that prevent the APIM from showing?

Supposedly, the BCM update was to be done before the APIM update...so that walk-away locking was already enabled in the BCM before the APIM got setup to show the toggles in the Locks section. But there is actually no dependency there.

I was soooo lucky I did that BCM when it came out, cause a week later it changed to a locksmith/PATS requirement. So when I did it, the new APIM update wasn't here yet...so I enabled the walk-away lock toggle button using FORSCAN.

I would say that on the CMR if you aren't getting any DTCs and everything is working then you should be okay. 9V though..... :eek:

Nope...and I re-tried to apply the RFA update a few minutes ago and it still stays in the list afterward.
Interesting, my '22 Lightning had the same as the other poster above, the BECM+SODM*+GFM2+PSCM+DCDC combo. I was able to get all of them to apply without issue. Like everyone else, the ACM and RFA updates seem to persist even after doing them.

FWIW I have the BCM update that I can't apply, but I also tried to prepare the GWM and APIM updates and no matter what I did, I couldn't get the update to start. I tried multiple USB drives, made sure it was MBR + ExFAT formatted, but the APIM would never show the banner that the update is starting.

Try removing all the APIM files from the directory it downloads them to and re-download them.
