Control - Drive Mode Missing

[emptykim]

My truck may have received an update and the "control" screen for drive mode is now missing. There have been a couple people that have had this issue but I didn't see a resolution. I did the sync reboot holding the volume and next track button. Also disconnected the battery negative for a min. Neither worked. Software updates shows 6.14 available but not ready. @Ford Motor Company any thoughts here?

6.14 is the latest version to date. I can tell by your center stack screen it has not loaded as of yet. Beyond that I got nothing.

Let me look. I had this issue and it was a quick change in forscan with the help of some others on here.

Your system is updating, it has not finished, disconnecting the 12v wasn't a good idea. 12v disconnect is a last resort and unplugging during an update can cause the whole thing to fail.

Other than updates that require downtime, the processes are running in the background and will notify when finished. You will experience bugs and resets during the updates sometimes but they should sort themselves in a few days.

If it happens for an extended period then a trip to the dealer might be necessary.

Truck was valeted before this happened. Might have been in the middle of the update when it happened. I drove the truck and it sat quite a bit before doing the sync reboot and 12v reset. I guess we’ll see or will need a trip to the dealership.

Have you made any FORScan changes? APIM 7D0-02-03 xxxx x*xx xxxx should be the entry that handles the control tab and the wrong value there can remove it. Believe mine was a 4 from the factory

I don’t have FORScan. But maybe it’s time for me to get it.

There are two lines for APIM.

Based on that it should be good. You could try changing that 0441 to 0041 and write. It'll give an error about the check sum but you can ignore it and then it'll ask to turn the ignition off and then back on. Then repeat with the number as a 4 and see if it happens to pop back up. Aside from that, it's probably time for a dealer trip. Maybe they can redo the APIM update. What's your sync revision under General-About Sync?

Well damn that worked! Thank for your help!

Glad it worked. Would like to say I fully expected it to but that was a total stab in the dark. lol. You can see in the below snippet from Livnitups spreadsheet why that digit can cause the controls tab to disappear if the wrong value was used there though.
