Anyone know what 22P25 is?

[Mike G]

What the fudge is the FTRM module? That's not even listed as a module in FDRS.

This is the one where if you did the update to the BCM before the GFM update was available you'd end up with a "Frunk System Maintenance Required" error until the GFM got updated to bring everything back into sync. Once you do the GFM update on a J1 car it also give you the ability to open the frunk with the door keypad. And as of this morning with Sync 539 installed there is now a working frunk button in the Access menu for '21 J1 cars as well.

I am only quoting what it says FTRM is on the bulletin that @Wonky_Donkey posted in #6 above which he got from Ford. I know this because I have seen the same bulletin at my dealer. Also dealers ( well mine at least) aren't using FDRS for the MME. They are using a different diagnostic system. It also states that after this update OTA events will be able to occur.

What are your dealer techs using to do programming? I thought FDRS was a Ford worldwide standard thing.

The FTRM is also called the GFM (generic function module), at least in the USA. GFM shows up in FDRS.

Now that makes sense...Why on earth didnt they put GFM, instead of this mythical FTRM module. Only Ford........

I think whoever wrote the bulletin had been at the sherry

I was going to check to see if my 2022 has a mysterious FTRM in FDRS but I saw a new APIM update pop up and I’ve started the download and install of that. Little did I realise that it’s a 15Gb update that has downloaded and is now copying to USB.

So by the time it’s copied it from the Ford servers to the Laptop to the USB stick to the car and then installed it that 15Gb will have been moved four times. That will take forever

@Wonky_Donkey Did you have to do a connected scan for the APIM to show? I checked mine this morning and nada (disconnected)

 

[ProximusAl]

Well no APIM update for me. Just done a connected scan and nada.... 21J1

Yeah, I've already updated my BCM and GFM a while ago, so I've got this already, just the document published above implies there is a FTRM module, which is just plain wrong.

I think they wanted to rename it FTRM but they didn't get the service manual and documentation updated in time for product release. GFM is sort of the default name for a new module, they just never changed it from the default. They should probably update everything to FTRM and remove all references to GFM but Ford is in such a state...

Probably going to be a while before we get Sync 539 pushed to us though.

well funny you should say that….

So can I check I've got this right... my MME went in this afternoon for the contactor recall update. They said that Ford had told them to also do a Body Control Module update (presumably BCM!) plus a Frunk Module. They then kept the car because they were getting a frunk error message, and I got a call a bit later to say that Ford had got back to tell them to update the General Module (presumably GFM!) to clear the message, and apparently this worked!
I haven't had any OTA since they did the stuck 1.6 fix at the beginning of July - should I now get an update soon to Sync 539? And full frunk opening capability?
And does this mean that in effect I've also had the 22P25 recall completed?

Generic Function Module (GFM) is the module that controls the frunk opening in a Mach-E.

About two months ago a BCM update was released that if you jumped in and did the update straightaway you would end up with a "Frunk System Maintenance Required" error. This is because the companion GFM update that this particular version of the BCM update was intended to work with hadn't been released yet.

At this point both are out in the wild and available for techs to update. But to avoid the error they have to be done together. Some techs are unaware of the connection between those two updates and panic after doing the BCM. They just need to push on with programming the GFM and it will all be fine.

BTW this whole issue was listed prominently in the Professional Tech System (PTS), Alerts section on the PTS front page. So the fact that they missed it should tell you something....

I can almost guarantee it won't show up until this gateway module is updated first:

Are those the module updates on my VIN Mike? I’d have thought the list should be getting shorter by now, not longer! Hopefully some might get pushed OTA but I doubt it, shame I don’t have a need to visit my dealer at the moment.

Those are yours, yup.
