Frunk not fully opening

[Bigred]

Hey all, thought I'd weigh in on this issue. I've been dealing with the same problem for some time now and being that I'm 2.5 hours from my closest ev certified ford dealer, I figured I'd live with the frunk not opening fully on its own for the time being.

I found this original post as well as a couple other threads and (not sure which thread) luckily, someone posted about what their dealer had written up after fixing the issue.

"Performed self test. No DTC's present. Referred to general procedures in WSM Power Hood Initialization - Electric / FHCM self test. No DTC's present. Performed Power Hood Initialization, and adjusted electric frunk height. Condition is no longer present."

I have a '23 Pro and I installed a front light bar and bed lights that didn't come standard. To activate both installs, i had to purchased a Forscan license ($12/year) so I figured I'd give the frunk issue a try to fix.

In Forscan (I am not expert in the program), I ran a system check, no errors showed. I went into the modules and found the FHCM. I selected it and ran a "self test". The truck made several sounds, frunk fully opened and closed, dash lights turned on and off and the test was complete. I the opened the frunk only to have it open 9" again (argh) but I then manually went through the height adjustment procedure and.... it's working! I'm a little shocked but it seems to have fixed the issue.

Hope this helps, sorry for the long winded post.

The frunk issue happened to me today. I ran FHCM test in Forscan as you stated. I reset the frunk height and voila- fixed. Shout out to you. TYVM.

Thanks! This fixed my issue when executed exactly as you instructed. No trip to the dealer and strut replacement!

I signed up for the trial of Forscan to activate Antiglare headlight functionality and tweak a few other settings like light bar intensity and tap click (lane change) turn signal indicator blinks.

I wonder how many other issues like "front parking sensors unavailable" error which is now a TID could be fixed with Forscan?

I've reprogrammed modules on my Chevy Volt to fix the "Service High Voltage Charging" error issue using subscription to AC Delco and I'm wondering if the fix for "front parking sensors unavailable" is similar only using Forscan of course.
