ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[majorgearhead]

I know this has been talked about a little. I have a 23 Lightning Lariat and had a bunch of modules I updated last evening. All took fine, except for two that took a long time and appeared to install but would never clear from the list. I did not check them to see if they were additional iterative updates, but it was kind of annoying as one of them was mentioned to help with PAAK. The two updates are listed below:

I included two pictures with the hover-over version. Does anyone know a good way to get these to install? The RFA one, in particular, took about 15 minutes to install, and I had no errors. However, it looks like it didn't take because it is still on the list.

The ACM is known to not come off the list, and I have see people here and the Mach E forum mention the RFA update can be tedious too. Vehicle history shows the RFA was successful. PTS shows the RFA is on the CR strategy, but not sure if that is the latest version. Check the files that FDRS downloaded to see if you can find this one:

NU5T-14G623-CR

If so, the update went through. Make sure you have hidden files showing and check here:

C:\Programdata\Ford Motor Company\FDRS\fdrs\data\vehicle_software

Thank you for your help. This makes sense. Today my PAAK has been flawless for the first time while owning this truck. So it seems the rumors that RFA fixes PAAK holds some validity.

Does it show that I have applied the ACM as well?

After work I will check those files.
Thanks again!

Yea, the ACM shows it installed. You can ignore that one.

Looks like I have the file: NU5T-14G623-CS instead of CR. This was down one more directory in STRATEGY.

Not sure which is newer....I would assume CS. @Mike G You fully updated your Lightning, no? What strat is your RFA on?

I have -CS.

But remember, this is the RFA (along with the ACM) that won't clear from FDRS when you try to update it. So I'm not entirely sure whether this update was successful or not.

His truck is on CR, but he found the CS file on his laptop, so the update didn't go through in his case.
