Can you provide more information about your problem? Are you asking how to use FDRS? How to update via OTA? This whole thread is about how you update your APIM and other modules to enable BC.
I always start with the GWM since that is the gateway to the rest of the modules. I just went down the list from there. But keep track of what you do as sometimes you update a module and it does not get reflected immediately in FDRS. Good luck!
A hearty "Thank you!" to Jesse-Infotainment for sideloading my IPC and enabling me to finally update everything.
I too had to reboot my APIM after the Fordpass notification in order for hands free to show up on the cruise control option. Was a tense few minutes before I saw MikeYQM's post...
The only Forscan change I have ever made was the running board activation one to the DSM. And even before that, I was not seeing any updates. That one change is something I know Platinum Peasant has done, and I see he has updated.
Are the APIM updates just showing up for people? I have not been able to get any updates since this past weekend. I have the GSM update that is stuck, but no other updates. I do not have any DTCs either, so not sure why I no updates are shown as available.
Just to be clear, the configuration in FDRS, below -- IPC - Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Configuration. I ran that successfully and that cleared the DTC. The self-test confirmed everything was good.
I did not use Forscan to clear the DTC in my IPC.
Just FYI, I did not have to PMI it to remove the DTC.
I just reconfigured the IPC (I think the option below PMI) and that went successfully when before it would not. Once I successfully "configured" the IPC, I ran the self-test to confirm everything was good and got green.
No, the updates are tied to the VIN of the vehicle and the VIN is included in the update information on the drive. So your car will examine the data on your USB drive and not update anything because the data does not include your car's VIN.
I also was able to clear my IPC DTC.
I had the U2100 incomplete configuration where I could not PMI it as I kept getting an unsuccessful GetFilesForPMI due to an exception getting flash files.
After several days, I redid the IPC configuration and that went through successfully when before I...
So my running boards have not been working since updating the DSM. I followed the suggestion from Platinum Peasant and looked at the running board entry in the DSM using Forscan, and saw that it was disabled -- 00. I redid the entry to 01, saved it, and voila, my running boards started working...
Thanks. I ordered the adapter from Amazon and should arrive Wednesday. Hopefully I will have working running boards then. Will read through the tutorial and watch some videos, but it looks pretty straightforward.
Man, stuck on 21281 with the IPC dtc and non-working running boards. I have not received a new update since Saturday. Glad to hear others have gotten their trucks updated however!
So my running boards will not respond to anything. The DSM logging does not show running boards as a testing object. They show up on my car console and I can change the settings for them, but I can find no module in FDRS that actually controls them.
I have run the configuration several times...
I have the running boards not moving issue as well. I PMI'd the DSM with both original and new module, ran test, and configured, but not joy. Looking at the datalogging, the running boards are not shown for me as a test point.
Any suggestions?
Also, I too have the IPC DTC that will not...
