Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

[rugedraw]

Could someone check to see if there are any updates available for my truck? I haven't gotten any OTA updates for many months and I'm considering getting a 2 day FDRS license to see what can be installed manually.

Thanks!

Gladly, but please remove your VIN from your post.

VIN removed. Thanks. So several larger updates. I wish we had an easy way to clear any errors from our OTA queue and have it retry.

Thanks for checking!

Is that picture of the updates the new look of the FDRS software version?

No, that is with PTS, but the list with FDRS would be the same or close enough to use as a guide. I don't have access to FDRS while at work, so I use this instead. PTS is much easier and faster to pull this info from compared to FDRS.

Today was my first foray into the FDRS world and thanks to this thread and all the info from the experts, it went perfectly and my truck is now all up to date (at least for what Ford has made available).

I was hoping for an APIM update but unfortunately there was not one available. Maybe next time.

If possible, could someone check to see if there are any updates on my truck. Last update I got was on September 13, and that was the dealership doing a reversal. Much appreciated!

Sure, but please remove your VIN. Not much pending. The dealer seems to have done some updates on 9/27. Not sure what you mean by a reversal, but the OTA you got on 9/13 was 6.8.0 for the IPC and had nothing to do with anything the dealer did. You haven't gotten any updates because there is little to update on your truck. It is almost completely up to date.

Looking at what @rugedraw posted, I'll note that the ABS, BECM, PCM, and SOBxx will be updated if you have your dealer perform CSP 23B50 (Charge Cord Stuck).

I just called my local dealership, they said the only thing outstanding was the front hatch recall, they don’t see anything for CSP 23B50. Can you give me anything I can show them?

Your truck may not need it. Message me the VIN and I'll check. I didn't look for that when I checked it.

See this post and the attachments. Says it includes 2023 with build dates 1/10/22 - 2/1/23 (in reality that includes mostly 2022 like mine). Yours was probably built later I'm guessing. So good news!

Well I buy licenses occasionally to see what I can update. Been a few months but checked today and I had a new IPMA update, no idea what it does but hey I like being up to date so installing it now.

Mach E's got a new IPMA update released to them, too. I wonder if it is the same BBC version that was released to only 2021 F150's in September? Lmk what version you get when it installs.

Install finished fine, took about 3.5 hours but no issues. What is the best way to tell the version, never really looked before.

In FDRS, click the IPMA module and scroll down to where it lists all the file names and see what it says next to location F188.
