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

[rugedraw]

I did the powertrain and other updates today on my 2021 Job 1 RWD ER. The PSCM and IPMA were linked together. Everything cleared. IPMA took over 2 hours. Since PowerUp 7.0.0 or 7.0.1? has a two hour inhibit, I wonder if it is the IPMA update.

7.0.0 updates the IPMA, PSCM, CCM and CMR.

7.0.1 is a GWM update only.

I did the same on my 2021 Job 1 yesterday.

IPMA had a safeguard message that said my 12V was estimated to be 65%, and recommended was 70% or higher to proceed. There was a radio button option to proceed anyway or exit. I chose to exit and let my power supply bring the 12v higher before starting again. Went fine after that.

What happened to the USB method for the large transfers? 2+ hours was a long update.

i was not offered CCM or CMR, so I guess those are still on hold for me.

I don't think anybody outside the EA selectees have gotten the CCM or CMR you refer to. I've done the IPMA and PSCM on my '23 as well as on my '22 Lightning, but nothing further to complete the BC 1.x mythology so far. Maybe this weekend?

Not all modules can be done via USB. The IPMA is one that can't.

I'm looking to run my updates this weekend and wanted to check that the steps in the 1st post are still g2g. I did this once before back in March 2023, so it's been a while.

What ever happened to the updates via ethernet connection ?

 

[Homer007]

Here are the updates I have. Any particular order I need to do them in? Thanks @Mike G for looking it up for me.

You can start with an easy one...which is the HCM.

Then I think I would go next to the PCM...which will kick off a sequence of all the powertrain items in a scripted method. (PCM, BECM, SOBDM, SOBDMB, SOBDMC). You'll get a message like this:

Then you can pick either the IPMA or the PSCM, doesn't matter cause they are also 'coordinated' (Ford's term) and will both be done together.

New bulletin about PSCM software being unavailable in FDRS. This will impact a number of TSBs that rely on PSCM updates.

Do you know... Is it a problem with FDRS presenting the update? Or a problem with the PSCM update itself and had to be pulled?

Reason I ask is because I just ran the IPMA / PSCM combo a couple of days ago. Everything seems fine, but I haven't been on a BlueCruise highway since.

I have no additional information. Yes I know people have successful competed the update in the past couple days, so I'm not sure if there's a new update issue or if it had to get pulled.

So... Potentially could I run this update/fix in FDRS per the thread below:

TSB 24-2010 - Slow Level 1 or Level 2 Charging Or Does Not Charge

I was going to run some updates this weekend in there, with the main goal to see if it fixes my exact issue with Slow L1/L2 charging.

You may have already done this update when you cleared off your list a few days ago. If you haven’t gotten to those yet then when you do it will essentially apply that fix the TSB refers to (updating the powertrain).

 

[Mike G]

TSBs often come out after the related software fix is already out in FDRS.

OH awesome! I plan on doing it this weekend. So haven't applied it yet. Fingers crossed
