OTA ECG-24.2.4.9 Software Distribution Enhancement

[lurker]

FYI if you had issues with the front sensor being blocked, enable it again and see if it’s fixed after this update.

Mine appears to be resolved after this update now.

You may be right! I got this update today, read your comment, and went on a drive. My truck used to beep at every stop. It did not do that today. Will report back if it reoccurs.

Random question, the theme on the Sync 4a screenshot looks black. My 22 Lariat SR doesn’t have a black dark theme, it has a deep blue theme.

Check your drive mode. You might be in sport mode. Blue is normal.

No dice yet - after a few nights of

Let us know if it works.
I’m still stuck on 4.2.1.2

No dice yet... a few days have passed, have updates set to automatic and for 1AM. Nothing yet. Oh well.

I take this back. I am still getting the front sensor blocked message.

mine came back today. WTH. Is so clearly a software issue when an update makes it go away for a few days then it just pops right back. So frustrating. Maybe one day.

I would take it more as a coincidence. If it was software, it should not be back days later with no additional software changes.

So you don’t think it’s a software bug? The sensor warnings?

It could be, but it could easily be hardware. I am just saying that I don't think it not showing up for 3 days following an update is a confirmation that it is a software issue. I'd honestly lean the other way and say that since you got an update and it's still happening there's a larger chance it's hardware related.

I had them check it out at the dealer twice and they couldn’t find anything wrong with the sensors at all. All diagnostics showed they all functioned and responded. It started happening after four months of ownership immediately after a software update. No issues before that. No impacts. Nothing on sensors.

So let me make sure I understand....
Those people that are continuously getting updates are now getting an update that will help them get more updates?
But those of us that aren't getting updates, continue to fall farther and farther behind.

Makes alot of sense, @Ford Motor Company.

If you aren't getting updates, go to a dealer who says they can update your truck. Once they do, you should be able to get them. They can run diagnostic at same visit, too. If your dealer says they can't do that, then go to one who has a clue or isn't just trying to only do service where they can overcharge parts and labor. And when you find a good dealer, stick with them - well worth it! For example, telling you what you DON'T need, and when you will need something.

Got the update yesterday, which was a nice surprise. Still hoping for the one that shows SOC on the left battery dial, but I'll take any updates I can get at this point.

My last update was 6.1.0 may 16. Just got this one last night. Maybe this will help get me caught up with everything?

So it looks like this is only for '23 trucks - maybe those that didn't get any updates for months and finally got the 4.2.x.x earlier this year.

Through the posts I don't see anyone with a '22 report it. I was at the front end of most releases. Last update was a failure for me - truck was in the shop for a battery module on April 2 - 23-PU1024-6CH-AUD.

Looks like we are just on hold. Maybe BC 1.4, maybe Walk away lock, maybe allow PPOB without truck being started. All of those are queued up. I know they have to be packaging them in one big update that is going to surprise us all.
