Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

[sstevetx]

I just checked and my 360 camera doesn't look distorted after the update. I found out the camera still doesn't have the "X" button to remove it while in motion. Was hoping this update would fix that bug.

For my dual Clores, they were running on separate circuits. Never happened before this update. I'll do the PMI later this week or next weekend when it's warmer

When you get a chance go back in and do a PMI on the PSCM. You don't even need the powersupply for that at all if you let the truck warm up for about 15 minutes beforehand.

Let us know if your PSCM clears off the list after that. It should.

It finally got above freezing, so I checked again and PSCM was gone. I refreshed a couple of times and nothing showed up. I also checked under PSCM and there weren't any PMI listed, so I guess I am good.

Unrelated, but has anyone ever tried disabling the smart acceleration in the programmable features? I don't know if it is enabled by default for our vehicles or even matters. Google shows it is for fleet vehicles to keep the acceleration consistent regardless of your load. Disabling it is supposed to increase acceleration with no/low loads and lowers range. I ran it last night and it only had an option for lessening the effect rather than disable. I picked that, and I'll be driving it today. I doubt it does anything though.

I also noticed there was a programmable feature to disable the top speed limiter. Not sure if that does anything for non-fleet vehicles like ours, but I left that one alone. Our tires aren't rated for higher than the ~107mpg max speed. Even if they were, these tanks aren't designed for that speed. I got faster in my old Camaro ZL1, but it was designed for it.

This just showed up today in FDRS for my '22 (as well as my '23 Mach-E...just noticed that):

Coincidentally, there's yet another update to FDRS. Hopefully this revision to 39.6.4 will get rid of the "Stack overflow at Line 1" error that 39.6.3 displays now. It doesn't seem to hurt anything and the program seems to run fine, but...it's the little things.

Is the "Off-Board Charger Controller" the DC controller? Possibly getting the truck ready for their NACS adapter?

I got it too Mike and messaged you via "the other place" before I checked here. The update took 5 minutes and also sent Ford a bunch of data. I hope it's for NACS . I saw no noticeable difference with the truck today in charging screens, etc.

Did you notice any difference?

 

[sstevetx]

No, I didn't notice any difference with that setting.

Yes, all those modules can be updated via the OTA process. Next time, just send me your VIN and save yourself the $50.

Good morning @rugedraw I see you're very active on here, I have been trying to get my 2023 Lariat build date 7/19/2023 5946 miles user software to update, I have been back and forth with Ford Service to be informed no updates available. I have never had an update presented period since I have owned the vehicle, I had the BMS sensor CSP completed as well as the BMS software updated on my HVB. My 12v battery will reduce to under 90% every evening, I have tried changing the check for software update times during times of use, charging the 12v battery with a maintainer. No luck can you tell if there are any updates for this vin? Thank you in advance. 1FTVW1EL2PWG18828.

May ’23 build. July delivery. No OTA updates offered.

Since it's meant for fleet vehicles (like Transits) it may be in the settings but not actually do anything on a Lightning one way or another.

As mentioned by @16cards, your truck's OTA history is blank and your truck has the same software it left the factory with. There is nothing you can do to force an update to be sent to your truck. Your truck is fine; the problem is with the OTA process itself. You just have to wait for your VIN to come up in the OTA roll-out process.

So….this thread has been a bit dead. Has there been nothing posted in FDRS for a month?

The Mach E's just started getting 6.14 yesterday. I would expect some action here in the next. week.

There has been a lot of SW action, but it is the trucks that weren't getting updates last year getting caught up.

The old '22's need some love we need a new version soon.

So no new exciting APIM update this morning, just another front hatch and HVAC update.

I can't see if I have any OTAs waiting but I have started the truck and will let it run for 30 mins to see if anything downloads.

6.14 has to be waiting. Maybe soon.
