Lane centering not centered

[Tom Jensen]

That's an old thread.....probably before the newer IPMA software was available that improves ASAS performance.

Yes. A couple of years ago. A lifetime in software update time scales.

That thread is a carry over topic from the ICE forum before we had split off to form [The F150 Lightning Forum] those members were all discussing impact to non BEV trucks.

Ah. Thanks. Got it.

For what it’s worth, mine seems to work fine. Occasionally I will nudge it a bit, but for the most part I find it very satisfying

Turn on your rear camera for an actually centered perspective.

Front camera for that matter would work also.

You should have the IPMA CSP for your truck.

Do you know which specific CSP this is? Is it 24B56?
I’m going in next week for my inspections tax… I mean, sticker.
Thanks,
Rod

Yep, that's the one.

I assume your truck is on the IPMA software it came with from factory? The newer software improves all driver assist functions significantly. Unfortunately, it is not being sent out OTA. It can be only be installed via FDRS.

FDRS? Ford Dealership?

Folks - I am puzzled that my lane centering function tends to place the truck slightly to the right of center (i.e., closer to the right side of the lane than to the left side). I thought it was just the normal parallax - a result of my eyes being on the left side of the truck. Or maybe I’d just gotten used to driving off-center to the left for 50 years. But I’ve asked front seat passengers for their impressions and they match mine. Is this a thing? Do others have the same experience? If it is real, is there a way to adjust? Thank you for your thoughts.

I had the same issue. I bought my Flash in September and it seemed to center perfectly and then roughly a month later it seemed to hug the right side. Here is something you can do to get a better sense of whether it is centering correctly or not. Get on a 3+ mile stretch of road where you know that the lane centering should be pretty accurate (i.e. no tight turns) and doesn't require manual intervention. It doesn't need to be a Blue Cruise road, but a road that Lane Centering does accurately and well. Set up and turn on assisted driving/centering. Now....change your main center screen to show the Camera View and set up the view to show the two side mirror cameras. If it is the same as my Flash, you should be able to see the road lines for either side of the lane (right camera, right line, left camera left line). Using this view, I can see if my truck is roughly equidistant from both lines.

This should help you to see if your perception is realty.

My truck was off and favored the right side. I took it to the dealer and they recalibrated all of the sensors and wa-la....centering again. I use the Camera View method I described above to check it every now and then. So far...2 weeks and it's still centering correctly.

Thank you. That’s a good idea. I’ll give it a shot.

FDRS is the software techs at Ford dealers use

After getting the front parking sensor update whenever I turn cruise on lane centering automatically turns on even though I have it disabled in the vehicle settings and when it is active, it’s not as good as it used to be. Drifts quite a bit then over corrects. I don’t know what happened but I have to turn it off every time I turn on cruise now which is slightly annoying but oh well.

That sounds like a bug, not a feature. I’d revisit the dealer.

I've been experiencing the same behavior for some time now. Didn't connect it to a specific update, but I did submit audio feedback to Ford the truck.

I’d rather not I can live with this
