Hey everyone,
I recently purchased a salvaged 2023 F-150 Lariat from the USA and shipped it to the Middle East. Due to prolonged inactivity, the car didn't receive updates, causing issues with the modem and FordPass connectivity. Despite master resetting the car, the old owner's data persisted.
To resolve this, I attempted to update the car using FDRS with a VX DIAG J2354 tool. However, I encountered a few problems:
2- During updating the modules, HVAC module failed to update
I retried running the update routine again and again and It just refused to update, which caused the ECU to turn Purple ( Responded Negatively )
during that A/C did not work at all no matter what I tried to do
I fixed that issue by changing the VX DIAG cable to Bosch M cable, Update instantly went through and cleared the purple state ( reasoned negatively) and ac worked.
3- FDRS Login page gave me HTTP ERROR 500
This got fixed by just creating a new motorcraft service account
I am now facing one issue
I have replaced the right side head light
and it is giving me error codes in the HCM
error 1 : B14DC
Error 2 : B155A
this causing the right lamp to be turned on always, turn signal inside the lamp does not work, full beam does not work, light bar half lit ( left side is lit)
I am thinking this issue might be caused due to :
1- The light I bought off ebay is damaged
2- The light I bought is for lightning PRO not Lariat ( thats why its not powering the other half of the light bar)
3- The light needs a certain programming routine to function
what do you guys think?
Also, the maps installed from factory are NA maps, any idea on how I can upload to the truck ME (MIDDLE EAST) Maps?
would appreciate any help on this
thanks !

To resolve this, I attempted to update the car using FDRS with a VX DIAG J2354 tool. However, I encountered a few problems:
- I faced an APIM update loop issue despite following instructions multiple times (where u turn off the engine and leave the door open )I Switching from a USB type-C to a 1TB SSD resolved this.
