Hacking the Pedistrian Warning System Sounds

[Scorpio3d]

I always thought it should sound like KITT from Knight Rider if we could just get the light bar to move back-and-forth!

Interesting. I don’t hear anything from my truck. It’s been updated with FDRS. Maybe I should take it in?

So I have a database I've been building of over 80 Lightnings from 22-25 plus a handful of ICE PowerBoosts. Interestingly the 22-23's (both ICE and Lightning) do not have any PACM info in the As-Built like you show. There is nothing there in the BCE section. My own 22 has nothing. I can only see module software numbers.

All the '24 and '25 Lightnings look to have what you have except for 750-01-01. All the 25's have 0065 instead of your 0165. For '24, some Pros (maybe fleet) also have the 0065. The ICE trucks for 24 and 25 only have useful info for 750-02-01.

try listening when you’re next to a wall or in your garage. It’s a little subtle and you (at least I) can’t really hear it with the windows down unless there is a large object to reflect the sound back into the cab nearby.

I like it,
then add in William Daniels' voice if someone steps too close to the car !

For those having trouble hearing the sound, it must be in drive or reverse to hear it, have someone else sit in the driver seat while you stand outside then have them shift into drive.

or get one of these

Please be very careful, don’t want to cause a “Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power” you do know all electronic parts are connected (Big Computer on Wheels) and take a dump if one goes out.

Joking but some what true!

Rivian did it

Should all trucks have that pedestrian sound when driving at slow speeds. My 24 Lariat 100% does not and never did.

Your truck, and every Lightning every produced, 100% does have and will continue to have this sound. Just because you cant hear it doesn't mean its not there. Its very faint, best heard when you have the vehicle parked in a quiet garage while in drive or reverse.

I don't know about the rest of you all, but the sound for reverse has never been "faint". That one is pretty dang loud. Forward, I agree, it's a very low tone not heard by old ears in the cab, even with a window down

Agreed. If there was a way to turn down the volume of the reverse sound and increase the volume of the slow speed forward sound I would do that.

Ironically,
the people that need that broadcast 'noise' to notice the truck are also the ones with poor hearing ?

I usually do not hear it (forward )because my stereo is turned up too loud, but that is nothing compared to your stereo!!!
Reverse you can probably hear over your stereo

I like the built in back-up warning beeper,
Normally I have to add a backup beeper to a truck - for my work - but this truck already had it. one less thing !

Wish I could do more than the fake engine noise on my truck. I wonder if I have that reprogrammed and replaced too.
