Thanks Ford for the improved hands-on-wheel detection; Advanced Driver Assistance System update (24-PU0105-CMR-FX)

[LazyMonkey]

I received this update on my ’24 Flash a few days ago and since then have been very pleased to experience a much improved hands-on-wheel detection setting when the cruise control is engaged. Now the pressure necessary to satisfy the sensor is just right. At least for me, resting even just one hand on the spoke with a very slight pressure on it is enough to keep from being nagged. Kudos to Ford for making improvements like this along the way of my ownership.

Agreed...noticed the enhanced hands on detection (or reduction in force for detection)...it used to be I had to jerk the wheel hard enough for the truck to actually change course to "recognize" my hands...now it is just a slight tap.

Was there a software number associated with the update?

Hopefully I'll get this one as well. The current setting on my 22 is annoying!

Seems to be a rather old update. Priority Update: 24-PU0105-CMR-FX. Driver Monitoring System | Ford Lightning Forum For F-150 Lightning EV Pickup: News, Owners, Discussions, Community

Yeah, I’ve noticed that post as well but it didn’t mention any hands-on-wheel improvement. In any case, it was surely a new update for my truck on 8/23/25, and given how often I’ve came across complaints about this online, I am just letting everyone know that it has been addressed by this update for my truck. Hope that everyone gets their's soon…

Funny how these "older" updates are suddenly finding their way to the mid-generation Lightnings 23+ where it was not already baked into the model year code.

I just got 24-PU0105-CMR-FXon my 24 Flash this morning. Have not tried Lane control with it yet.

I doubt they will ever get it light enough for Me. I spent 1,000s hours flying Hueys and, after hundreds of hours, when I was on the cyclic flying, you would never see that cyclic visibly move (pilot technique) especially at hover when added lift was so valuable. You can actually “think’ movement when you are one with the aircraft.

I drive the same way, my kids were always amazed that going down the interstate it would appear the wheel never moved unlike their mother who was constantly moving the wheel left and right Even when going it a straight line.

The damn hands on the wheel drives me crazy because I have to “make” added inputs all the time when they just aren’t needed. In a Huey, and less so in a car, every one of those movements waste energy. In the huey that meant added lift and you could fly closer to the edge. 250lps of lift was really valuable. The added lift meant more ammo and supplies delivered or, even more importantly, that was one of our guys I could carry out of a PZ.

Thank you for your service sir

Hope I get this too. Ding Dong Ding Dong DongDongDongDong, jerk wheel is my biggest annoyance with the truck!

Came ota? What module did it update? It's annoying to me too both when I am actually holding the wheel and when I'm not

I'm just a Cessna jockey, but I agree that having to move the wheel when no steering adjustment is necessary is really annoying!

‘24 Lariat. Apparently my last software update was 2-27. Would love to have this as the force needed to avoid lane keeping from dinging is one of the most annoying things about this vehicle.
