I did not drive the truck Saturday & Sunday (the last glory days of warm weather riding the bike), but afternoon I recharged the final 10% after a 160 mile road trip Monday morning posted as soon as the charge was completed, I unplugged the truck to force the data report, then plugged her back in for the night.
This is the current version which you must see via the FCSP setup utility "ABOUT" section.
FWIW, I set mine to 72A - no faults, no issues. I've read too many posts with users having overheating issues with the FCSP at 80A.
Mine has worked perfectly at 80A setting, granted the updates were already out by the time I placed mine in service, less than 24 hours to see the patch applied.
Mine too….I’ve never experienced a charge fault at 80A.
I don't think that was the cause, my understanding is that the truck communicates with the cloud and your Ford pass configurations via built in 4g com telematics, what I have noticed is that occasionally what I request in Ford pass does not transfer to the truck, so I double check from the Sync screen that the revised commands/settings were acknowledged.
When in doubt, cut power then restart. First rule of electronics. I turn off the circuit breaker to FCSP once every month.Woke up to this, FCSP not phoning home to Ford pass, preconditioning ran, but still no warm steering wheel, expecting that would be the case, I did a 15 minute remote start after the preconditioning phase ended, still a cold steering wheel.
The charging event which ran Sunday evening was reported out as expected after unplugging the truck this morning, I did not drive the Lightning on Monday, so that data also flows via truck telematics not the FCSP while it was off-line.
After we returned from breakfast run, I switched the FCSP off then on and it's reporting again.
On the drive home, steering wheel was warm.
The charge limit is controlled locally by the truck. When the limit is reached, the truck stops charging and signals the EVSE. No connectivity to the cloud or FordPass is involved.Mine too….I’ve never experienced a charge fault at 80A.
Today, I did experience for the first time it charging my truck overnight to 100% despite the limit set in FordPass to 80%. I plugged-in last night and had set to precondition by 0600 hrs (successfully) this morning. Checking my Charge Station’s status in FordPass, I noticed I was seeing my account name had the RED warning denoting FordPass wasn't actively communicating with the FCSP. I had to disconnect the charger’s power again at the breaker to restore the FSCP’s connection to FordPass
I wonder if this was the cause for it to charge past my 80% setting? Next time I’ll check to see if FordPass and my FCSP are communicating before charging…….
To be fair, 25 pages included numerous mentions of the original software bug that’s corrected by an update as well as charging issues not related to the FCSP at all. I wouldn’t be afraid to use it if I needed the capacity.
People with no problems don‘t post here. Installed beginning of July. Some speed reduction on +90° days. Other than that, nothing to report.
Thank you! Sounds good. I’m going to go for it.
