Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

Mike, this is where I really show my lack of understanding, but are all these updates ones I should receive OTA, should the dealer have done these in September or am I stuck trying to figure out how to get these downloaded? This is where my frustration comes from, I have neither the technical skills or technical knowledge to be messing with these things. If Ford expects all Mach E owners to be as competent as you in these matters that's a big ask.

Some of these updates are OTA "PowerUps". Usually things like a gateway (GWM), telematics (TCU), or a Sync (APIM) will come out as OTAs. Because they will enable functionality or other updates that are in the pipeline in the future. One of the gripes is that they seem to be focussed on things that will make them money (like adding Amazon's Alexa) rather than things that would enhance the car's functional aspects, or correct known issues (doing all the recent door modules would save wear and tear on the 'door presenter' actuators as an example).

In other cases like the 22S41 welded contactor recall they would put together the PCM, BECM, SOBDM, SOBDMB, and SOBDMC and send that out as a package.

Some of these modules can't be updated by OTA at all, three come to mind, the gearshift module (GSM), the digital signal processor for the audio system (DSP), and the wireless accessory module (WACM) that controls the phone charging pad in the center console tray. So if there are customer concerns those would have to be updated as a 'hands-on' update with the laptop and adapter.

I've heard from others that the OTA program folks are way behind and it's not likely they'll catch up soon, if ever. There will always be a list of updates that are available for your car and unless they get better at pushing them out the list will just keep getting longer every month.

Hey Mike, no European problem but just a F*cked up garage ;-). I brougt my car to a another garage and they updated my complete car , so they said. Maybe you can do a last check but i am a happy driver at his point. Many thanks again and have a great weekend,

You have a TCU showing this morning but that's it. The TCU showed up overnight last night.

Glad you're all updated!

Mike

All done, nothing on the list.

They struggled mightily yesterday. They reprogrammed the GWM the TCU and the APIM. Hopefully everything will be working when you pick it up.

Mike

That’s crazy how they can do everything on the list when Ford got involved. They even added The latest sync update and I’m able to use YouTube on my car with being on EA and it’s a 2021 Job 1 car. Thank you again Mike.

Thanks, Mike! Are these updates to be OTA or I can do at dealer?

A bit of both..but if waiting for OTAs I wouldn't hold my breath.

My car is currently sitting at the dealer, waiting for a service appointment to get my HVB fault diagnosed and fixed.

I'd appreciate a VIN lookup for any info. Thanks.

Recommend you schedule an appointment with service to have the CSP 21P22 updates performed at no cost to you before Ford's funding of that program ends.

Hi Mike,

Got my car back this week from the dealer for the recall work. Tech stated they completed all available software updates. Could you please check VIN 3FMTK3RM9MMA25752 again and let me know what your seeing?
Thanks in advance.

Well I guess by 'all available' they didn't mean these:

That TCU showed up for all of us last night, so it's new.

The dealer changed the sync box for me
I found the automatic update for 2 days
But the problem came back
OTA 1.7.1 ?
And nothing noted on the Sync version
Do you have the possibility to see what is wrong?
VIN WF0TK1E76MMA32341
Thanks

Hey Mike G or anyone else that is willing to help. Any chance you could look up my VIN # for me?

Picked up the MME. Loving it so far. Did they do the updates?

Thanks for the assist.

VIN #: 3FMTK3RM3NMA43133

So we can post our VIN here and some kind soul will look up our vehicle for us? Neat! I'm going to take my car in to the dealer soon since I'm concerned that I didn't get the battery recall update
22S41/22V412, as it is still marked as incomplete on the Ford and NHTSA websites. I'm also a little bit annoyed because I joined early access recently but haven't gotten any updates.

VIN: 3FMTK3RM8MMA45555

Thanks!

Hello - Is someone able to pull up the latest FRDS modules needing updating on my GT please?

VIN: 3FMTK4SEXMME01710

It is currently suffering from the HVBJB recall issue and my dealer is telling me it is going to take 3 months to receive so I would like to see if they can update other modules as needed,'

Appreciate it!

They did do a PMI on the APIM but then apparently failed to apply any APIM updates beyond the basic revision and you are still stuck.

Here's the list of available updates:

I suggest you contact the tech and get another appointment to have your car checked for a stuck module using the "Module Update Repair" procedure to see if they need to follow TSB 22-2150.
