6.14.0 was my most recent update back on 9/6, it's now 6+ weeks and nothing more has come about, so I did power down (disconnected LVB) for 30 minutes, don't know if this will help or not.

2022 Lightning Displays Multiple Faults at Startup


Hi all,

I've been watching this forum for a couple years now and finally have something to post!

I drove my '22 Lightning home yesterday, plugged it in to my Ford charger, it charged up to 80% successfully in the evening, and I went to bed. This morning I loaded the kids up to head out and there were multiple faults rotating through the cluster: Front Motor Fault Service Required, Service AdvanceTrac, Pedestrian Surround Fault Service Now, Trailer Break System Fault See Manual, Cross-Traffic System Fault, there might have been another one in there. Tried to turn it off and back on, wait a while, etc. and no dice. I got an update a few days ago, but it was successful and everything has been fine. I haven't had any other issues with it. Any thoughts that might help? Of course this happens on a Sunday when the dealer is closed, right before Labor Day... when I'm guessing they're closed.

It’s at the dealership right now. Hopefully that’s it, but I’ll report back when they figure it out.

Just in case anyone is interested in my saga from 4 months ago... I'll try to keep this short.

• Turns out the problem was a critter eating through the main wiring harness.
• Part was back-ordered forever
• Ford finally agreed to cover this under NY Lemon Law (even though it was over in miles)
• Just picked up my new 2024 Lariat Lighting today
• If anyone wants any specifics let me know, but happy to have a Lightning back! Happy Holidays!

I got this update finally today, following getting 6.8.0 installed last week. I'm slowly inching my way towards being current! I think ECG-24.2.5.6.2 is coming next week for me.

I think where I like the new top bar icons most is on dark mode, they blend better.

Leave your truck running while you are out. I recieved 6.5.0, 6.8.0, 6.14.0, and then the ECG all with in or two days of each other.

Congrat's this is typical progression from a MY22 point of view.

How do I see if I have ECG-24.2.5.6.2?
I only know how to select software update details in menu.
Latest is 10.1.0
I've never seen ECG-24.2.5.6.2 format.

24.2.5.6.2 might have been pulled off the shelf in lieu of 24.2.5.6.3

I've been meticulously documenting each update as they occur, look at the last 90 day list. Software Update History

For these updates, just starting the truck would trigger the download. I know you're being safe, while leaving it running, but truly that part isn't necessary. Once started it will continue to download and install if you shut it off.

Just glad that Ford is continuing to catch up more trucks.

I expected that due to the 12v draw, the cellular modem may not be continuously powered if the truck was turned off.

I know that the update availability and frequency is determined on Fords end, however updates essentially stalled for multiple months and only resumed when I happened to run the truck for a few hours in good cell coverage due to work. I have since either left the truck running, or did long drives, and have now received 6.4, 6.5, 6.8, 6.14, and the ECG all roughly one day apart. I have seen others get a few of the same updates but not anyone getting all of them back to back like that.

I'm 3 for 3 since Monday.

Just noticed today that this update also updated my camera view menu. The menu button is now gone and I have the options always displayed. Nice.

That menu button was the dumbest idea ever. Just display the menu. However these computers are so underpowered they probably had concern with drawing that menu if it wasn’t needed. That seems so minute but it wouldn’t surprise me for many of the tradoffs we have and what seems to be garbage SW was done for some reason we can never see.

I think it is more of a lack of understanding on user interfaces. Ford has mastered (mostly) the layout and features of what truck buyers want. But they (and most automakers) struggle greatly to understand what makes a good, intuitive SW user interface. It's like it was designed by hardware people that know a little software instead of a dedicated software person.
