It hasn't cleared from PTS yet. I don't have access to FDRS now, but PTS still shows you're on the RCL strategy and this update would bring the GWM up to (or down to?) RCH.

it’s difficult to follow many of the posters here as there’s no key to the acronyms thrown about constantly. i’ve learned many but 40% still evade me.

PTS = Professional Technician System which is a Ford dealer website.
FDRS = Ford Diagnostic and Repair System is the software Ford techs use.
Acronyms for the different modules inside a Lightning are:

Ford F-150 Lightning ECG-24.2.5.6.3  |  Software Update Experience (Gateway Module) 1732806275374-w7


When I say strategy, it refers to the strategy file a module gets updated with which is how we know what version of an update a module is on. The strategy coincides with a specific OTA, but no one (that I know of) has ever kept a record of what the strategy file of each OTA is.

Does this mean that this updated, updated all 20 modules? Can you see anymore regarding the update? Really wondering about the HVAC one..
For OTA updates I can’t see anything. All of these are available updates for your truck.

Sure, but please remove the VIN from here and message it to me. I'll check it out when I get to work a bit later.

VINs are public info and PTS personal accts have to ask permission to view connected data, so why the caution?

Because Ford monitors this forum, and when I check a VIN, the user name that checks the VIN gets recorded in vehicle history. I already had my account deactivated once and was lucky to get it back. I don't want that to happen again.

I just got this today as well. My last update before this one was back in September.

Here are the updates based on what I am reading (including the typos)…

Quality improvements include:

-Improve battery state of charge drainage issue due to Electronic Control Unit key off load events.

-SYNC screen will display correct software update status.

-Software update task will be automatically terminated after trigger expiration date

-Customer's vehicle will be able to transfer power to the buildng during power outage.
Interesting. I was just on the phone with ford and sunrun. They are working to strengthen the bluetooth connectivity between the FCSP and the trucks that aren’t strong enough to connect when the power goes out. Apparently they have 1 or 2 tries to get it right or else they have to recall all the FCSP’s for those trying to utelize HIS. I wonder if this isn’t.

I got the survey. No idea if I got the update though. Lol.

Hope this fixes my rattling interior and shrunken 360 view.
