CSP-23B70 Certain 2022-23 F-150 Lightnings - BMS Sensor Replacement

[TaxmanHog]

Yes. New sensor installed by dealer a couple of weeks ago.
I went in the day I read about it on this forum. Got the appt./install done that Friday.

After multiple failures I just resort to this .....

I called my dealer upon recieving the recall and was told they are only replacing sensor if they find a problem.

What's their definition of "a problem", the FoMoCo tech instructions define what they are to look for and what to do ...... replace the device.

Sure. The problem is the sensor installed in the truck is not the one Ford says should be there now. Sounds like you need to find another dealer

Ohhh yes, that's definitely a thing, the reasoning is, that the HVB contactors are active to connect the AC/DC charger, this condition places a load on the LVB and subjects it to a declining SOC condition, so the DC/DC inverter must step in at the right time to replenish the LVB as needed.

Oh yeah, I always knew it was supposed to but I spent a lot of time with the old sensor watching the HVB charge while the LVB dropped. Even with the truck running mine would struggle to add more than a couple percent per hour. It’s nice to see it actually perform as designed for the first time.

They never read the CSP. They told you the first thing that came to mind to get you off the phone.

If you have a Lightning...you get a new BMS sensor. That's the beginning and end of it. No diagnosis required.

FINALLY.
Tried when I got to work. Came back out to truck and:

That was a long road but at least it finally worked....

Just call Ford customer service and they told me the same thing. No problem/ No Replacement

The person you spoke with is clueless. Anyone with 5th grade reading comprehension can tell that if your vehicle has one of the two listed part numbers, it is to be replaced.

I didn’t even initiate my replacement. My dealer called me, says they have the new part for my truck and setup an appointment. It was fixed the same day I got the letter from Ford.

Scheduled mobile service for tomorrow to do mine. This will be my first try with mobile, so we will see how it goes. Hopefully the hardest part will be finding somewhere to park outside of my work garage that they can get to.

Well, mobile just called, and informed me they don't have the part, which I suspected would be the case. Not surprised at all, was more shocked when the old man that scheduled me claimed they did have the part.

The really good part though, is the guy said he could still come do the BECM CSP, which I then had to explain for the third time that I have had done already, but has persisted in my dashboard ever since. Ultimately, he said they would let me know when the part comes in and reschedule. So, I guess my first mobile service appt was just so-so!!

My dealer is replacing both sensors in our 2022 and 2023 lightnings but did require an “inspection” first to confirm the part number installed needed replacing.

I have to give my dealership some credit here. They sent a mobile tech out to take a photo of the sensor and is ordering the replacement for both trucks.

Sorry if this is mentioned earlier in the thread.

2023 Lariat - Canada

Failed on update : Priority Update: 23-PU0813-DOR-UP2. Look at the app and it says "Updated Unsuccessful - Vehicle Requires Service". Look closer "F-150 requires service. Contact a dealer as soon as possible" Along with a 1-800 number to call for more details.

Truck, driver side door controls all dead, except the power windows for the rear. So no lock, unlock, mirrors fold/position. Etc Etc. Cross Traffic & Blind spot sensors not working with warnings every few cars.

Call 1-800 number Ford says it's maybe BMS related take to dealer. So I assume part of csp-23b70. Ask if the service will fix issue. Told no it's not specific to the BMS issue but items I told him about are being mentioned by others.

No ETA on repair but be aware the OTA update 23-PU0813-DOR-UP2 may take you out if it fails...

I wonder is DOR mean break Door... <sigh>

I think that was the name of the OTA that did the DDM and PDM modules so those symptoms would correlate.

To quote the service order : DDM Failed during OTA Update. Perform PMI, Re-Test, Update DDM & PDM Clear codes all Working.

Back from dealer same day! I hope anyone else who runs into this gets the same service speed. Would be great if we got Mobile Techs for this kinda thing in Canada.

I got the letter the same day I had the appointment. They also did software updates which were not happening due to the sensor issues. Hopefully they happen no at home. And hopefully we soon get the BlueCruise update that changes lanes.
