UPDATE 9/7/2024:
I am not sure what happened, but as of yesterday 9/6/24, my access to PTS is no longer working and I don't know if I will be able to get it back. If I do, I will let you guys know, but for the time being, I am no longer able to provide VIN checks.
If you have a feature that stopped working or got an update that was supposed to give you a feature and it is not working, this is most likely due to a botched config somewhere. I can help with things like this, but you would need to have FORScan so you can pull your a/b data and send to me since I am no longer able to see it myself.
Without PTS and not being a Lightning owner, there is little reason for me to be here, so unless I can get my access back, I won't be active on this forum. Feel free to message me if you feel like I can be of help in any other way.

Hello all,
I wanted to start a thread here for people to want to get their VINs run through PTS or FDRS. Anyone that has PTS or FDRS access, please feel free to jump in the thread and provide info if a request is made.
PTS shows OTA history and/or if you have any active OTA triggers waiting to install on your vehicle. You can also pull window stickers, see what DTC's the truck is reporting to the cloud (this only works if you have your Fordpass set up), pull up wiring diagrams, check for open recalls, warranty history, and more.
FDRS checks will show all modules on the vehicle that have a pending update on Ford's server. This can also be done with PTS, but it is not as accurate as FDRS. Any questions about the FDRS process, please refer to this thread; let's keep this one specific to VIN checks and not FDRS procedural questions:
https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/lightning-software-updates-using-fdrs.11029/
If you prefer to not post your VIN publicly on the forum, feel free to message me privately. In your request, please specify what you need checked. OTA history? Modules pending updates? Why is an OTA failing? etc
Note: If you want an FDRS specific check, please note that I only have FDRS access in the evenings when I am home with my laptop. Unless someone else with FDRS access can chime in, any specific FDRS checks would have to wait until I am home for me to do.
