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

[Mike G]

Yea so I just spoke with the Service guy I left my car with and he said he's waiting so he can get the right "tech" on it. Car was dropped off Wednesday morning and he said they might keep it over the weekend. Should it be taking this long?

"Should it be taking this long..."

Well if you have an appiontment for service on a specific date..but the EV certified tech isn't there for something like a week...

They have not started programming anything. I hope they start off with that gateway in your list first.

what exactly does the GWM module pertain to? Is there a list or some sort of resources I can look into that give more info about what each module has to do with? I appreciate all the help Mike

It's basically the network controller for the car.
I'll see if I can dig up a list that says what they all do...but for now here's the list of what's in the car...some of these are self-explanatory:

[Reality Check]

… disconnecting and reconnecting of the 12V battery terminals could cause the learned values to be thrown off. So that in turn could throw off the BMS as to what the actual state off charge of the 12V battery is...and if it's not at 80% when the system is set to check for an OTA update then you can see how that might impact whether or not the OTA proceeds.
…
The process I described before with flashing the high beams and pressing the brake pedal is the way you do it without using FDRS.

So what’s still unclear is how and by what is the state of charge percentage read & determined? Is it done by the BMS, or
some other system or sensor?

And if the BMS is simply reset (either via FDRS or via the procedure you described), does this then re-baseline the SOC determinator and “fool” the car into thinking the 12v battery SOC is at 100% regardless of the battery’s actual SOC? If so, then if the battery’s actual SOC was (for example) only 50% at the moment of reset, would that then prevent or interfere with it being “naturally” being recharged beyond 50% back to its true 100% by the car (vs. by an external charger)? Or does the system somehow correct for and adjust for that and still allow the battery to be fully recharged to its full potential? (After all, you can’t really go over 100% … so the system can just keep re-baselining itself until the battery won’t store more energy / amp-hours.)

No problem:

Thanks! I can't understand how you have so much time and knowledge to share with the other mach e owners, there's many that have said it but I have to say it too, you are extremely valuable to this forum, Mike!

Too bad I don't have that HCM update, but I can't see the reason for it anyway, my high beams has always worked like charm.

Can someone look up my VIN for me? It’s been at the dealership since Friday for updates but I don’t think they’ve touched it. Thanks!

14 Jan '21 build date, Job 1 car.

Oh, they're working on it all right....

And when they get done figuring out what they're trying to figure out....here's the list of the rest of your updates that are available:

Thanks! If I pay the subscription to FDRS, can I look that up without buying a Mongoose cable? It looks like it has ALL the service history for my car. I bought it used so I am curious.

 

[BillPitman]

4.2.5 will be the HVAC in your software list.....

Want to see what you've got left?

Hey Mike, do updates sometimes/ all times update modules?! Be interesting to see if my list has changed w/ all these updates! Bill P. 3FMTK3SU1MMA56293

Yes you can see the session logs going back to when the car was delivered if that's what you'd like. No Mongoose cable required.

So I take that to mean you want to know if OTAs update more than what it says on the tin?

@tonesto7 's list is a great reference for what gets updated by what OTA.

But even with OTAs seemingly coming hard and fast...it still leaves a lot of room for improvements, but sadly no way to get them unless you want to pay a tech or do it yourself.

Here's where you stand with available software today:

Hello folks,

I would really appreciate it if anyone could run my VIN number and let me know the details for my car. My VIN is: 3FMTK3RMOPMA16958.

Thanks a lot in advance
