The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS

[ZuleMME]

FYI: Running all my updates and the recall now - Doing PCM first it all went as expected and no security issues or things left not clearing. Still finishing up my RFA (takes forever) and HVAC/Wireless etc.

I downloaded all update modules in the beginning, but i just thought that when you start every flash module FDRS checks stuff, so it could very well be the license.

After that i still did the test and clear procedure, but i guess as long you keep FDRS open it just works. Ill try again with a new fresh license tonight !

Did you stay connected to the internet while flashing? Or did you download them connected to your internet, disconnect from the internet and move your computer to the car for the updates?

The laptop stayed connected to wifi all the time on my laptop

When you click download it downloads the initial set of data required to run the update module. Once you run it, it will download additional dependencies needed to perform the update. In the case of the GWM it's approximately 280mb of data that has to be downloaded. Once that's done the vehicle checks to ensure that the data matches and then it communicates back to Ford to tell them that it's been updated. So, you need internet for the entire process.

If the license expired I would assume that you wouldn't be able to download the dependencies. Sounds like the most logical explanation.

@Arjan - What you describe to me sounds an awful lot like a "real" problem. But you never know with all the computerized modules in this thing.

On that note, for the first time in forever my car is now 100% up to date. I don't know what to do with my time! ?

I have seen way to much ghost errors during updates in the past

Sure anything is possible. But quite a coincidence that it occured just after my first ota update ever.

This is the error i am not able to clear:

The GWM module does not start flashing because of this error:

This is the error i am not able to clear:

The GWM module does not start flashing because of this error:

You selected the GSM self-test and did clear and retest? If it doesn’t clear then shut the car completely off, open the drivers door, and let the car sit for 5 minutes to go to sleep. Then try again. Some errors won’t clear until the module has gone to sleep and restarted.

The VCM error doesn’t seem related, that’s probably your scan tool. Reboot the PC and reconnect it.

Any idea what these DTCs mean? They've been showing up since I did an update months ago, the car runs fine and everything seems to work as it should with no warnings showing. The TSB they refer to (22-2109) refers to DTC U3000:49 and U3000:89 but these are all U3000:57 which means "invalid/incompatible software component". I updated everything listed today so Ford thinks my car is up to date as of right now. I'd like to get rid of these if possible but, as I said, they don't seem to be affecting anything.

It looks to me like you will need to do a PMI on one module but it isn't clear which module is the cause since you aren't seeing the issues referenced in the two TSB's. Which updates did you run before the DTC's showed up? Can you DM me your VIN so I can look at the history?

DM sent, thanks!

It looks like there were repeated attempts at installs of a few updates in March. Do you know why these failed? What was the power supply used during the updates? What adapter were you using?

If the hardware is fine, my recommendation is to run a PMI on the GWM and see if the errors clear. If not then you should follow 22B08 to see if it detects any failures which can be repaired on APIM and TCU. There are also APIM and TCU PMI options but I do not recommend running them unless someone else has been through the process to know if there are any subsequent steps.

Donkey question of the day - what does PMI stand for in this scenario?

Read the PMI instructions I included and I bet you will find out.
