TSB 23-2125 For Platinum Lightnings

[Mike G]

Dated 26 May 23 this TSB addresses an issue where a Platinum trim level Lightning may show a lower than expected vehicle range after charging with a Level 1 or 2 AC charger. This may be due to software in the SOBDMC.

The fix is to update the SOBDMC module. But wait, there's more......since the SOBDMC is a powertrain component, and powertrain module software updates are "coordinated" with all the other powertrain module updtes, this means that in addition to the SOBDMC you'll also be getting the PCM , SOBDM, SOBDMB, BECM, ABS updated as well in the bargain because they are all scripted to update in sequence once any one of them are selected by the tech to be updated.

So if you have a Platty that's experiencing a bit of range anxiety and wants to stick close to home after unplugging in the morning...see your local tech and reference this TSB.

I wonder why it would be only Platinums?

They're special.

When the trim levels were announced prior to the start of production they said then that the Platinum would have a slight decrease in range compared to the Lariat. But it's been so long now I can't remember the reason.

I think it was supposed to be the 22" wheels

Mine has done this but not worth the hassle of going into a dealer.

Anyone know if I can just update the module(s) with FDRS myself?

Well of course! I did.

I need to go in for my 10K service soon anyway, so I might as well have them take care of this TSB too. Thank you for the heads up...
