FordPass 3.31.0 is out

[sweekrut]

It will be OTA eventually, but requires a trip to the dealer currently.

How can I know that we need to go to dealer? Will there be any sign in car?

No. There are TSBs for specific problems that are fixed with module updates at the dealer. In theory, those updates will come to your car automatically via OTA eventually.

my journey and securialert seem to be pretty pointless

Securialert is good for when you take the car in for service. When your service advisor tells you “they’ve been working on the car”, and you haven’t received any alerts that the doors have opened, you know they’re full of feces.

Maybe (hopefully) they already loaded the latest software on your car at the dealership in which case you wouldn't get those OTAs after they fixed it. Or you just have to wait until you get the OTA since you only had it replaced on Tuesday. I didn't get my OTAs right away after getting the software fix. There's not really a way to request them from the car. No way to easily know until for sure until 1.7 comes out.

I know and agree. No evidence of any latest software.

I believe 1.3.0 was only in Europe. As far as the other ones, I think it depends on the dealer technician, but if you let them know you've been having issues with updates, they could do some updates there. Of course they won't show up as any power up. Power up is just the marketing term for the OTA updates and the numbers do not directly correlate to the software versions updated in various modules.

Now you mention you had the tcu replaced 36 hours ago, I assume they gave you the latest version on the tcu software so that basically covers what I know about update 1.6.0 updating, maybe even 1.4.0... you likely have newer version of tcu software then most of us.

Unfortunately I do not.

Please stop spamming every thread you come across with this.

It appears that they removed him.

also, interestingly, the Ford Power-Ups show up in Play Store, but of course when you click on it "No results for Ford Power-Up 1.6.0" appears.

Unfortunately I do not.

You do not what? Have an updated version of tcu software and configuration? What version do you have?

I think FordPass is messing with me. I have my charge schedule set from 11pm to 9 am and 80%. (I have it set for the same time for my ChargePoint EVSE just to be sure.) For the last two nights at exactly 8:40 PM I get a notice from FordPass that my scheduled charging did not start. "Well duh, you're not supposed to charge now." (Car was plugged in since 5:30 PM when the wife got home)

So last night I look in FordPass. I click on the Charging Paused banner....it says target charge level 100%. Ok, I've seen that before and it still stops at 80%. I check the charging schedule in FP, it's set to 80%. Right on time at 11 PM it starts charging. The car is already at 78% so it won't take long. Sure enough it keeps going past 80% to 81%. I go out to the car, yep it's still charging. Go into the car settings... it's set for 80% and the schedule is there, but my departure times are gone, What!? I unplug the car wait a few seconds, plug it back in, the EVSE contactors open and close about 4 times trying to decide if it should charge... starts charging again. I unplug it. I set up my departure times again in the car. I force close FP (don't reopen it) and go to bed.

Wake up this morning, open FP app, charging schedule is there correctly in FP. Go out and plug in, car still at 81% and the car starts charging. I hit the Stop Charging banner in FP. It stops. Now my departure times are gone again in FP. Re-add the departure times in FP. It's already time for the car to start conditioning so I hit resume charging, the departure time pre-conditioning starts up as expected.

So right now everything looks normal in FP (the car is unplugged since the wife took it to work). We'll see what happens tonight.

I'm on the current version of FP 3.31.0 updated yesterday.

The charging schedule has been working perfectly for many months before now. @Ford Motor Company

I don't have quite those issues, but there was one day I came home and plugged in, it told me it wasn't going to make the target charge (I have charging scheduled to start at 11pm-6am and 80%). I had a long drive that day so the battery was pretty low... But it was a Friday and I didn't have anywhere to go in Saturday so I wasn't worried.

The thing is, it just started charging right away (like 5pm). No matter what I did, as long as it was plugged in it tried to change. I lowered the charge percent down to 50% and it finally started to use the schedule. Then, later I raised it to 60, 70, and finally 80%. It used the schedule and hit 80% by morning anyway...

Just weird.

I'd hate to jinx it, but has anyone else noticed that this version is way less of a phone battery hog than previous releases? I've had several false positives with previous releases that changed after a day or two, but I've been running it all day today and FordPass isn't even on my list of battery consumers!

I'm using a Pixel 5 and agree, 5 hours today and it doesn't even show up in the list. It would have used 15-20% in previous versions.

This perfectly normal has your charging schedule and amp output on your charger aren't enough to fill up the battery to your 80% need so the car takes on him to start charging prior to your start time to have enough time to get the battery up to 80%. If you have a variable amp output on your charger just use a higher output like 32amp instead of 16 amp for example and it will then start has scgedule. I do that all the time according to my daily use of the battery %.

Location and odometer will give you a hint also. Darn they are demoing my car again ?.

Was your SOC below 50% when that kicked in?

Just plugged in here at 44% and it held (waiting to charge). 10pm to 6am 85%. Simple but needs to work. At 10%/hour 6 hrs is more than enough.

A few hours after I posted yesterday the car did the PowerUp 1.6 update and all is now well with the new iPhone 13.

Of course. Yes, it doesn't appear to be iOS 15 that is the issue.
