@Mike G On 7/1 & 7/2, a dealer tried to update his APIM and it failed. They generated a repair validation code as if they were going to replace his APIM, but it never happened. They updated many of the ancillary modules on 7/1, too.

@Sargepepper I think you can fix this yourself with a Mongoose. I know you are new here and I don't want to overload you with information, but if you hit dead ends with the dealer and want to take matters into your own hands to fix this, let me know. I run a Mongoose loaner program where I can loan you one at no costs if you don't want to spend $600 buying one. Waiting list is maybe 6-8 weeks out right now, so that'll give you time to get acclimated with the process.

Sooo...before he bought the car then.... I think he should call the BEV team and have them get with the local dealer to see if they can complete this repair properly with a new APIM. Open a case and have somebody look into why the APIM wasn't replaced when a RVC was generated. Unless of course the reason was that the car was already out of warranty at that point and the owner didn't want to have to pony up.....for something that was originally Ford's fault.

I'm sorry to hijack.
My car display constantly displays the ota icon that's 2 arrows and a triangle to the left of the temperature. If I click on the software updates menu, it shows me the update that finished on February 2nd as completed, 24-Pu0121-ftdi-fx.

So is the icon just showing me that an update completed? Or something else?

That icon (

) shows up whenever your car is conversing with the cloud. It could be reporting vehicle health or status or downloading an update, or refreshing the list of available chargers in your area, ....it is simply an indicator that communication is taking place.

After asking for a VIN check the other day I made an offering of a fast charging adapter to the OTA deities and looks like it worked as a message that 10.1.1 installed when I pulled into my garage today. Out of curiosity I was wondering if you could check my VIN again so I could see if the TCU was the only one that fell off. Thank you so much.

I think you'll be looking for that BCM OTA next...

Hey guys! Real magic just happened!

I've posted some questions here and got some really useful information from Mike. So my APIM was like... really outdated, was never updated. So I almost lost my hope by sieging Ford client service and dealer workshop - with completely 0 luck (it is much worse in Sweden, trust me!). I still have an appointment to do a CSP for brake performance tomorrow... but! I've just got my very first OTA today!
It was a 23-PU2001-PR-FX, which seems to be the very first OTA that should have come to my vehicle right after it was delivered (and it has never happened, until now!)

What I did was a SYNC master reset 2 weeks ago, kept the car plugged in more often, was driving every day around 70kms, putting this parking brake, lights and so on... and it worked? I can't believe it, but it looks like my APIM got an update.. after 3 years?

Dear Mike, can you have a look once again: WF0TK1EM5NMA52443, Does that mean that I'll start receiving OTAs from now?

Thanks in advance!

You are a lot more optimistic about the dealer/Ford helping people with this than I am, my friend, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I have everything to be able to do my own FDRS updates. Could I get a report on what is currently available to do before I spend the $50. Thanks!

Nothing in the list today.

Just completed some updates via FDRS on my Job 1 2021 Premium, but I think my Sync is still not updating. Can someone verify that? if out of date, how can I force a sync/map update using FDRS. I have one day left on my license. Thanks.

Hi,

If someone would be kind enough to check my VIN, it is WF0TR3SSXMMA54505 . The buying experience from the Ford dealership was excellent. The after sales... non-existent.

Your Sync revision is from 31 Jan 2023. Unless there's a gateway update that hasn't shown up for your car yet I don't know what else could be keeping the updates from showing up.

You aren't doing too badly, actually.

You got the APIM update (6.14) in early January and you have only a few available updates in FDRS. And since you have a '21 model, getting the IPMA and PSCM updated, although helpful, won't enable BlueCruise Hands-Free operation there in the UK because of Ford policy (or whatever other bureaucratic restrictions are in place).

No updates on my 2021 since May 29 with 6.14.0. Would very much appreciate someone checking my VIN 3FMTK3SS6MMA62279

Thank you very much!

Hello, would someone please be kind enough to do an FDRS update check for me?

My dealer apparently updated a few modules.

I haven't received any OTA updates since October. Are there any updates in the queue?

VIN: WF0TK3SS2PMA08398

thank you!
