05/30/22 - GT Updates Five Second Control Module (FSCM) Power Limiting

[scoopman]

Preface: These updates are being performed by the few of us that have FDRS and are not available via OTA at this time. Your dealer will not update these on the car for free because there is no Customer Satisfaction Program, recall or TSB as of today. I'm sure you could pay them to do the updates, but that's at your discretion. I'm sure they will eventually be OTA.

On to the update:

Since it's a holiday weekend I figured I would check the car to see if there were any updates available. I knew I had some from last week so I decided to run those today. There's a post about those updates here.

I noticed that there was a FSCM update along with the other updates that I hadn't performed.

I went ahead and installed the updates. Everything processed as it would normally:

Once complete I noticed that in Sync under drive modes there's a new toggle.

Spoiler: Don't Hate Me!

There is no Five second control module (FSCM) in the MME. Have a wonderful Memorial Day and thank you to all those and their families that lost a loved one in service to our country. Hopefully Ford will, one day, release us from the five second limit.

-Todd

I knew this was fake right away because I noticed you didn't use Ford's "Antenna" font ;-)

I should have known Ford wouldn’t release an update on a holiday

That's what they want you to think ...

I should have probably left this level of trolling to @GoGoGadgetMachE - but I couldn't resist.

Well played sir… well played.

Hopefully no one is impatient enough to read half of your post and go buy an FDRS subscription ?

I was about to PM Todd my VIN to lookup my updates on FDRS. I heard he does that.

Where do I get my money back ?

 

[DevSecOps]

I heard he does that.

Is this payback? ?

 

[Electric Goat]

Dammit.

I was about to be the happiest person alive. Now I'm just more hopeful for the future.

@Ford Motor Company the 5 second limit has got to go

 

[Electric Goat]

Has anyone ran the f-150s quarter mile time yet? I'm betting that it has a higher trap speed than my "mustang" Mach-E GT. ?

A nice bit of levity to offset all the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth on this forum! Also thanks for all of your factual summaries and cataloguing of the HVBJB failures. You are a true asset to the group!
