ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[iceman77]

Can anyone with a Job1 that is showing the SCCM update try to track down the VBF files and PM them to me?
I will flash them with Forscan or UCDS

The files are all stored in "C:\ProgramData\Ford Motor Company\FRDS\frds\data\vehicle_software"

you will need to determine which files are for the SCCM

Just grab any Job2 As-Built data, format it to XML, scroll down to very bottom, you will see NODE information there. The SCCM 724 is and Strategy info is F188 field. That should give you a pretty good indication what to look for.

Here's your info:

Looks like my SCCM is already current

Calibration level: ML3T-3F944-BG
Strategy : ML3T-14C579-AH

Ok, you do realize Ford pulled the BC until Q2 right? I'm thinking which we all knew that the IPC had to be done, but the SCCM which wasn't there when the BC was listed in the Programmable Features and now makes sense as well... maybe they need an update for ABS too?

Where did you see Q2 for release?

That's one ford support specialist. It completely contradicts the dealer memo that was sent out.

No disagreement but my dealer told me not until Q2 at the earliest and that was stated yesterday.

I would trust the communication sent to all dealers from Ford over the transcription of a customer service person leaving a voicemail for someone.

Agreed but as I stated, tech told me that they were told to hold off and no specific reason was given even when I asked.

Has anyone looked today to see if the BC programming feature is available again in FDRS. I also noticed in my connected services that the BlueCruise coming soon is missing.

That seems to come and go at random for most of us. I've had it come and go I think 3 times now.

Honestly, I see for Job 1 trucks a similar situation to the Raptor trucks. They will figure out the hardware or software just won't work with OTA or dealership updates and we'll all get a refund for the prep kit and they'll be done with us. Bluecruise itself is not the problem, Job 2 trucks are using it today. It's Job 1 trucks and it's either hardware or software limitations or both.

might be a dumb question, but how do you know if the truck is Job 1 or 2? Never needed to know, but curious.
