No prep involved this was our daily / weekend routine, the results were a surprise, I had no prior indications that 6.2.0 was pending. I've given up on making special efforts, these installs should happen without extraordinary measures, and Ford can make it happen with better / logical pre-prep controls.All that prep for a 1.33mb update that simply changed a few parameters in the gateway.
But apparently sometimes.....
Well, into week three of the dealership having my truck and while there was apparently mention of my update back in July failing due to low voltage of the 12 volt battery, they've moved on to what I consider a full refresh of the APIM (whatever that is) then updating additional modules in order. UUugh! So much for @Ford Motor Company "Hot Ticket" support. I'm trying to be as patient as possible considering part of this is early adopter syndrome and I pick up an F-150 as an exchange loaner vehicle today.
PM me your VIN so I can check in PTS the reason for failure. GWM updates rarely fail due to low SOC. I don't think I have ever seen one fail due to low SOC now that I think about it.
Did you have the same food and sit at the same table?
No, sat on other side of the restaurant, but the truck was parked in it's favorite space.
Well you can’t expect it to work if you don’t recreate it exactly. Seems to me the truck did its part but you didn’t do yours.
I responded to your message, but for the sake of the info being out there, I'll respond here, too, but with your VIN kept private.
Thanks.. replied to the PM but really appreciate knowing why it failed... now I have to put on my patience hat...I responded to your message, but for the sake of the info being out there, I'll respond here, too, but with your VIN kept private.
It is not clear why it failed the first time, but the second time it failed due to a manifest mismatch. This means the files being sent to your truck do not match with the update files it is supposed to get, so the truck rejected the update. There is nothing you did wrong and there is nothing you could have done differently. The problem on Ford's side. Eventually, you'll get the right packet sent to you.
Maybe. The ICE trucks started getting a small 9KB BCM OTA under the revision number 2.7.4 last week. 2.7.4 is an old IPC OTA that was only sent to job 1 ICE trucks two years ago. When owners started reporting 2.7.4 again, it brought a lot of confusion with it. It seems like some kind of clean-up update, but the fact that they used the same exact revision number as a previous update was mighty strange.
