I noticed this morning that there was an update for FordPass to version 4.32.0
Description says:
This update fixes the issue where departure time was not updated accurately
This update includes performance improvements and bug fixes
I noticed the posts about OTA 7.0.0 and thought I'd go out to check the car ... but when I did, instead of 7.0, I found this. This is on a '23.0. My '21 has AM radio -- so this is new for the '23.
As updates come in, we are often told the update was for the GWM (Gateway Module) or BCM (Body Control Module) or ... TCU. TCU? What's a TCU? I was hoping for an ACU (Antimatter Containment Unit). :rolleyes:
There are lot of acronyms that I haven't learned. Is there a glossary somewhere...
A couple of weeks ago, my '21 FE lost it's brain and refused to recognize PaaK. Fortunately I was at home so I just needed to grab a key-fob. In this scenario, FordPass showed my PaaK was configured, but the car wouldn't recognize it.
Since the car refused to recognize PaaK ... it ALSO...
The lower trim piece on my '23 GT Performance was damaged. The body shop ordered a replacement and when it arrived, they said Ford docs don't specify the color. They asked me to bring my car by so they could inspect it to make sure they had the correct black color (they needed to know if it...
Nevermind ... I see there was already a thread for 2023 cars. Doesn't look like I can delete this but ... I'm sure a moderator will be along shortly to make this disappear.
I just got my VIN and build-week assignment. This is a model year 2023 car.
Ordered: Aug 30, 2022 (first day of '23...
Today while driving through downtown Dearborn, I saw another Mach-E ... but what caught my eye was the badging. On the rear lift-gate it had the pony badge ... and just below the pony, another badge labeled "Mach-E".
I thought the owner had a custom badge made ... until I noticed it had...
I got to meet some of the folks behind the @Ford Motor Company today ... a really cool experience.
Also, I got to see one of these in person for the first time -- surprising because living in Dearborn I'm really surprised I haven't seen one on the roads around town (I saw several Mach-E's...
My "other" car is an '09 Ford Escape Hybrid. I filled up the other day for $3.89/gallon ... but most stations around here were over $4 (currently most stations are around $4.29 and I saw one station at $4.49).
So I was checking out the data at GasBuddy.com and I made this chart:
You can see...
I'm in the Early Access Program and was invited to use a new feature coming to the Ford Connection Charge Station (FCCS). This will mostly be of interest to those who have their charge station located outside -- especially if it in an area where it might be accessible to others.
The FCCS has...
For the holidays @AEtherScythe and I are headed to Florida (from Michigan). We were *supposed* to go to Washington DC (Lorton, VA - about 500 miles for us) and board the Amtrak AutoTrain. When were were nearly there, the phone rang and an Amtrak robo-call announced that our train had been...
I just had the dealer install the 21P22 updates. When I got home and connected the charger, I noticed the car started charging (it shouldn't charge until off-peak rates kick in at 11pm). I checked FordPass and it reset my charge settings. It was planning to charge to 100%.
I had to...
We had snow yesterday with temps in the low 30°F's. @AEtherScythe and I had to drive down to his parents house for his brother's birthday. When we left the house it was a steady snowfall and 32°F.
I'm driving and the snow seems to be melting as soon as it hits any surfaces ... so the roads...
I've worked out how to do quite a few things with the car and learned a lot of tips & tricks ... but there is one that still eludes me.
When I'm at Electrify America ... if I use the screen on the EA charge station to "stop" the the charge (e.g. once I reach 80%) I get a charge fault error in...
I bought an OBD adapter (in my case it was the OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth interface) and I've tried different apps with it. My adapter comes with OBDLink software ... but that doesn't have direct support for the Mach-E. I also tried FORScan ... which also doesn't have direct support yet for Mach-E...
Today at 1:15p Eastern I got a message in the Ford Pass app:
Desired charge level will not be reached
Mach-E will only reach 89% by your Departure Time, as there is not enough time to charge.
But... I don't have any scheduled departures. I have the car configured to limit charging to 80% and...
This update introduced some new capabilities to "My Journeys" but it also fixes some bugs.
I noticed straight away that if fixed the Ford Pass Apple Watch app:
Instead of the animated "Refresh" screen... I now see this on my watch:
YES!!! :p
Apparently I'm not alone...

But at least it's a generic Ford Pass bug and nothing specific to the Mach-E. Hopefully it gets Ford's attention and they get a software update -- or instructions on how to fix it -- soon.
