Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

[sstevetx]

Here are the actual errors I received. I took it for a short drive and I didn't get any popup errors in the instruments cluster. Tried PMI on each of the failed modules and the PCM telling FDRS I didn't have the original module, so it would download the config from Ford. Errors still showed up even after clearing them. The one bit of good news is that installing the modified frunk beeper back in got rid of that FHCM error. I just removed the black/ground wire inside the frunk beeper and taped it off then put it back together. No beep and no FHCM error. Truck is charging now, so I am not sure if those errors will cause any observable issues or not.

Ignore those for now

Maybe @Mike G can chime in if he knows anything about this.

I saw that one, but he has a more recent post in a different thread to go ahead with powertrain updates. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...programming-guide-using-fdrs.8249/post-385564

Yes...I was advised that you could resume doing powertrain updates. But the DTCs will likely still be there until they provide a newer update to address it. It is a benign condition and I'm told it doesn't affect driveability (the SOBDM and SOBDMC DTCs) .

On a different topic, yet another front hatch update showed up this morning for my '22 model:

I'll do that one the next time I'm connected...as I'm not really having any issues with the frunk right now...so I'll leave it alone.

Thank you Mike, I feel better about the DTCs. I just checked and I have another FHCM as well.

Hey @Mike G can you look at my VIN? I did them all today with no real issue and no DTC's. The only issue I can speak of right now is some strange start-up chimes that are not the normal Ford ones. I had 15 or more needing updated.

It looks like things went well...I do see where you repeated some of them, but PTS is showing you have no DTCs at present. You have no available updates this morning. I don't know what to say about the chimes. Possibly resetting the IPC?

I also have the odd start-up chimes after doing the updates. I just assumed they were changed intentionally.

Thanks! I didn't intentionally repeat I think I may have chosen to do one but then another updated decided it needed to do them. I may reset the IPC, and then also restore AB. I don't have any real changes except speedo which I can put back. I know another member made a comment about the DSP update causing this.

I saw a reddit post suggesting the ADAS / Blue Cruise performance was remarkably improved with all the recent FDRS applied. Have you used any of those functions and noticed a difference?

I was about to go buy a Windows laptop since my only laptop is 10yrs old and running Linux. Need it for a few other things and was all excited to finally use FDRS. Then noticed I need a $540 cable...

It's definitely not a cheap way to do updates. You also need the FDRS subscription which ranges from $50 for a 2 day subscription up to $850 annual. As far as the cable, you can watch ebay and try to find a better price. I see there is currently one up for auction there ending in 6 days. Your best bet if you don't want to pay these costs is to find someone local to you that is willing to help you out using their hardware.

Yeah eBay is seems mostly more expensive than just buying new off Amazon for the cable! Maybe I'll buy the cable and rent it out locally!

I was able to resolve it with changing it to use cluster instead of speakers in Forscan. Under APIM.

I currently have 4 Mongooses that I loan out at no charge. Lmk if you want me to add you to the waiting list. Details are below:
