CSP 24B56 - Inoperative Front Parking Sensor(s) - IPMA Software Update for Certain 2022-24 F-150 Lightning Trucks

[Warp Asylum]

FYI, if you have FORScan and the front camera not activating when you approach an object issue, this fix from rugedraw worked for me:

Took my truck in for this CSP update (24B56). Ford dealer said my truck would not take the update and they have called Ford support and are waiting to hear back from them. They said to come and get the truck and once they have direction from support they'll schedule me back in.

I had my dealership's mobile service come out to perform my truck's 30K mile service and take care of this CSP. It took roughly two hours for the IPMA update to install.

As many of you with a 2022 experienced, I too had the tiny 360 camera display post update. I showed the tech the relevant bits of this thread, asking him to run the 360 camera display config. I appreciate the tech's effort but he must have clicked the wrong button because his computer started downloading some APIM sync update which took over an hour. It then asked for a USB drive which the tech didn't have. I went and got one for him only to have the download to the USB fail. At this point it was nearly 5pm so he called it the quits and advised me to call the service department to schedule a appointment to take the truck in. sigh...hopefully the tech at the dealership has an easier time. The tiny 360 camera display isn't ideal.

I don't want to dog on the tech too much because he was a nice guy and we had a good conversation but he mentioned the instructions didn't say anything additional configs to run. Looking at the technical instructions, it clearly states this step on page 3, assuming this is the same instructions the tech used. I find it very interesting that so many techs missed this step.

Coincidence, or is there a clear trend that Ford techs don't fully read instructions???

Just posting my experience with the CSP. I had Ford Mobile Service come out to do the front sensor CSP. After reading all the horror stories, I was hesitant to do it, but I gave it a shot.

The CSP was completed in an hour and 10 minutes. No issues so far that I’m aware of. I’m going to go drive a section of interstate which blue cruise always deactivates and I’ll report back my findings.

For reference I have a 2023.

I’m happy to report that the section of interstate where bluecruise would deactivate, now stays bluecruise the full time. There is truth to the idea that the CSP improves bluecruise. Now if we could just get that promised bluecruise update……

I’m curious as to whether @Ford Motor Company is even embarrassed by these types of issues or if they even care. I guess with their stock being impacted by growing warranty costs they care about that, but I definitely question if they even discuss in their meetings the long-term impact their poor customer service and behind-the-curve approach will have on them. Maybe they just assume that they will always have their Ford brand enthusiasts, just like GM has theirs. But these new car companies are becoming more attractive by the day and they are understanding what it means to be customer-centric and create modern software defined vehicles that can deal with this problems in a quicker customer-friendly way.

Regrettably, as soon as I can get out of the negative equity in my Lightning, I will be moving on because of issues like this. I bet others will too.

Once you get the update you can use Forscan to enable auto lane change at least. it's not completely automatic, you have to tap the blinker, but it handles the rest. That plus fewer deactivations makes for a much nicer experience.

No one asked but here is an update on my saga to get this CSP completed.

In the last episode, my dealership's mobile service performed the CSP at my home but skipped step 11 in the CSP's technical instructions, leaving my 360 camera display significantly smaller then before. The dealership came and picked up my truck Monday morning and set the expectation that they'd have it for up to 48 hours. Well 48 hours goes by and I hear nothing so I give them a call. Apparently my service writer was out for the day but she would be back the next morning. Fine. I call back this morning and I'm transferred to the service writer's VM. I call back two hours later and am told the service writer is with another customer but they would let her know I called. Two hours later I get a text from her that they are ordering parts and would need the truck for another 3-5 days.

WTF...I messaged back let her know I would either need a loaner or that I would need my truck back. Its been radio silence for the past few hours.

So at this point, I'm fairly frustrated. I have no earthly idea why they need to replace parts when my trucks was brought in to configure the 360 camera display size. The dealership is barely communicating with me and it feels like I have to pester them to get any information. My previous two vehicles, a Lexus and an Audi, their service departments would go out of there way to make sure I was taken care of when I had to leave my vehicle with them. With Ford, it feels like I'm getting a middle finger right in my face and told to deal with it.

DM sent, I had similar issues with the dealer I used in Austin.

This is interesting, any details on the ForScan changes needed?

Wait...what?? Just that update alone? I'm on 6.2.0 and had the CSP which also change my BC behavior. Would the auto lane change work for me?
