ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[iceman77]

I'm a stubborn SOB, so I paid another $50 to get my FDRS license re-upped and found this waiting on me. Could this be why it's not kicking off the usb update for APIM? And if so what can I do?

Click on Toolbox, select APIM (its under HS3 section) and run Self-Test. See what's the issue and try to clear the fault.

Post a screenshot if you need further assistance

It passed the self test, I think:

Yep, it should be clear (green) now, in your CMDTCs screen

NOTICE: Should you run into issues where your SecuriAlert and/or OTA updates disappear from your FordPass after messing around with FDRS, chances are, your As-Built data got corrupted during one of your network scans. You can easily fix this by re-running a network scan within the FDRS. For more info read this thread.

Hey SpeedRacer, I’m still no joy with mine kicking off from 1.7.1 either. So frustrating.

Is no one pissed as i am that on this 'fully OTA updatable' truck, UNDER WARRANTY, we have to purchase FDRS licenses to update fords crap code?! It always chaffed my ass with older vehicles, but surely this one won't need it! NOPE! What a joke.

You have posted variations on this theme on several threads. Do you have anything other than whining to contribute?

Argh that sucks! All my modules are up to date, whatever DTC I had cleared itself but no matter what wonky way I've tried no joy on getting it to kick over. Ford really screwed the pooch on 1.7.1 update it seems.

Did you try Sync Master Reset ? Perhaps reset the GWM prior to that (using ForScan) ?

According to his profile, he doesn't have a 2021 truck yet, although he might and hasn't updated yet, kinda like Ford?

I'd be willing to PayPal him for his 48 hour FRDS license if it would FIX his broken truck and bring him good cheer!

I've Sync Master Reset at least 10 times now, I'm starting to worry I'm gonna reset it to death. I had not tried to reset the GWM though, I'll give it a go now.

How do you reset the GWM in forscan?

 

[TJSparky]

Disregard… I found it, the wrench icon in forscan.

I would do something like this. Remove USB, reset GWM, insert USB. See if it kicks in
If not, then perhaps, remove USB, reset GWM, reset APIM then insert USB. Hope you get it done!

Iceman. I don’t remember where you posted about bad behavior with the adaptive cruise control, but something weird happened on my 4-hour drive this morning. When I tested my setup after your first post, I configured the cruise control to recognize speed signs. Like your system, mine also didn’t keep the setting past one ignition cycle. But I never actually used the cruise control or set it back to default. Multiple days and ignition cycles later, when I used cruise control for the first time this morning after updating my APIM, it worked exactly like it was supposed to. The adaptive cruise control changed the speed setting according to the changing speed limit signs. When I went into the settings, however, it still looked like cruise control was off. Not just the “smart” part but the entire function. So, at least on my system, it did work as I configured it a few days ago. The display just didn’t show the settings accurately past one ignition cycle.

I’m not sure if this is a better or worse result. But there it is.
