ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Jesse-Infotainment]

The IPC update seems to be ok now. They seemed to have sent out the correct update.

Edit.. The IPC is TWO parts - I know I mentioned that previously. First is a USB update and the last is CANBUS So please pay close attention as you do it.

How long does it take for new software updates to show up? I have done everything and only show the ABS and GSM remaining. I have NEVER done a network scan so I am wondering how quickly the cloud will learn that I have completed the updates. Also, had to restart FDRS before competing my APIM update (which worked) so never got to tell it that I completed it. Thank to all for helping me get this all done!

I went and did a Network scan and the IPC and TCU updates showed up immediately.

It appears that the Ford servers are having issues this morning, cannot recognize my VIN. Anyone else try today and can report back?

That's what I had. Reboot your laptop and see if it works then... it may have been coincidental but I'm up and running now.

Didn't let me in initially, waited 10 minutes and it looks like it is working again.

You'd think Ford would have displayed a message when first starting FDRS... SMDH. I hope it's stable since I'm helping another member add a keypad to his Ranger this morning...

Just curious, but can anyone confirm that all modules are on the latest software available and that FDRS isn't hiding anything from me? I want to avoid performing a network scan and potentially causing issues down the road. I did see when searching through the thread some have had updates pop up after a network scan that it wasn't showing previously. The two I'm not sure of are IPMA and TCU as I've seen some update those modules, but I didn't have anything.

You'll need @Jesse-Infotainment to help and I say this because the updates are specific to your truck's configuration and what you have with your XLT 502A package and lastly, 2.7, 3.5 & 5.0 would have differences.

 

[JEB]

I went and did a Network scan and the IPC and TCU updates showed up immediately.

You raise something interesting I hadn’t thought about before. Even though the VCX Nano is great as a budget friendly programmer, there’s still a trade-off—it’s not for the impatient because it will always require you to wait for something. If you want to preserve your as-built data by avoiding network scanning, you might have to wait for any updates to updates to be offered. This isn’t always practical if you have a short-term license. By contrast, if you want to get all the available updates and updates to the updates at one time and completed in one session/license term, network scanning might be unavoidable and then you’ll have to wait for your as-built data to self-correct. The common denominator is waiting.

If either waiting period is unacceptable, you’ll have to move up to a programmer in a higher tier. But then you’re out another $500, minimum, if you opt for the Mongoose.

There’s rarely a solution that is both cheap and fully satisfactory in all respects. This is no exception.

^^^^
Thus the annual FDRS license
Nano works beautifully if you use it with boundaries. Time is on my side, if you know what I mean. Lol

I started with a Job1 2021 Platinum Powerboost that was ignored by its creator. It's all uptodate and feeling special now.

With the license, I can give back to this community when asked.

Well, your ABS S/W version is the same as mine. And, as I wrote earlier, even though the updater appeared to run to completion, nothing was actually written to the module. . . .

I did notice something interesting with the IPC. What you list for S/W actually loaded for me into node F120. My S/W version at node F188 ends in FCA. Do you have Co-Pilot Active/BlueCruise? I don’t, and I wonder if that might be the difference.

 

[Ruffiano99]

Any other Job1 platinum powerboost owners unable to get their USB to ever
kick off? Ive been stuck with the USB in for over a month now with nothing. Any suggestions? Am I forever trapped until Ford releases a fix?

I do have the BlueCruise Prep package. Just waiting for all of the updates from Ford to be able to use it.

Can you check node F120 for the software version? I’m guessing it will end in FCA—the mirror image of what mine did.
