I have a Foxwell BT705 coming from Amazon in a couple of days and it will be interesting to see the difference between what my Lightning and Mach-E are reporting to Ford and what the tester shows. I can also use the internal resistance value it provides to estimate the useful remaining life...

I stopped trickle charging my LVB over a year ago (I only really did it once while I was away on a trip for two weeks). I just make sure I do a BMS learned values reset every three months or so and then go for a drive (shopping, whatever). My original LVB is showing 100% SOC this morning...

I currently run the Toyo AT3 EVs. They are pretty noisy. I run them at the 42psi factory pressure and after about 5 minutes they are at 46psi from the friction. This is normal. I asked ChatGPT what were the quietest all terrain tires to replace the Goodyear MTs (factory) on my '24 Bronco and...

BMS Learned Values Reset followed by either a drive of an hour (+/-) should be done every three months or so. And yes, dealerships do let the vehicles just sit without proactively maintaining the 12V batteries in all the vehicles they have sitting on the lot. It's even worse for EVs that only a...

The BMS learned values can get screwed up over time. I just do the BMS Leaned Values reset dance roughly once every three months and I'm still on my original 12V batteries in my '22 Lightning and '23 Mach-E. Both are reading above 80% on most mornings when I check.

Yeah, I don't think it was a lack of software. It was a lack of being able to pay the tech if they actually did the PCM and SOBDMC update at that time. I'm convinced without seeing your software available list that the PCM and SOBDMC updates were available the day your truck was there, they...

PTS 30 Mar 26 And as proof that the PCM and SOBDMC updates that I applied over three weeks ago were indeed the 25C69 fix I ran the FSA verification, and it now says 25C69 is completed and provides a code to process clearing the recall. So I don't know why it took so long for Ford to enable...

I’ve been using this one for two years daily switching between my car and truck. Works great.

It will after a key cycle. Everything will go back to normal. This sometimes happens after OTAs.

I believe the issue is not that the activation isn’t taking place, it’s that when it does, the pawl doesn’t fully engage. And I use Auto Hold on all three of my vehicles now (I used FORScan to turn it on on the Bronco) just to avoid negative habit transfer. I never worry about stop light creep...

That I don't know. I do know that the SOBDMC is the prime software update target of 25S69 and the PCM gets updated with it. So how they are working the both of those together 🤷‍♂️

As of this morning the 26th....

From PTS this morning. Notice it says it's still an Advance Notice. No dealer should be trying to do this until the full bulletin has been released (around the middle of May).

That’s not just an inspection. It’s a new lightbar.

...and your sig says you have a '23 model? You should already have had WAL. Only early build '22 models (like up to June of 2022) needed the BCM and APIM update to enable WAL. I'm wondering where things went wrong on your truck. It's possible that the BCM has the correct software but the WAL...

Well that's not actually the problem with WAL programming right now....the actual problem (aside from the fact that your dealership doesn't want to do the update for free) is the fact that the ability to perform a BCM software update (or PMI) has been removed from the FDRS tool the techs use...

Came across this today:

FDRS does update the cloud server when an update is performed. The tech likely ran the verification after doing the updates and copied the code it provided into the verification form in PTS. It doesn't take a month. It takes seconds to clear the recall...what makes the process take longer on...

Well It's now the morning of the 25th and there is no update on this as was promised (see above). So '22/'23 Lightnings are still not able to get scheduled for repair yet.
