The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS (Alternative to Forscan)

[Neil4Real]

To clarify that was forward vents ON and then the fans on 3. With auto, it’ll direct the hot air toward your feet. After driving 10 mins it was toasty for me and then I had to turn it off surprisingly.

Oh, wow, this was not what I got but I’ll try a lower fan speed. Mine was forward vents only, max fan speed, no auto. E heat on, recirc on and made sure AC was off. Mine was on max the whole 20 minutes home and never got above lukewarm/warm and definitely never got the cabin to a toasty level.

Also more evidence of the PTC heating at work per @generaltso. I just tested it again, 56 degrees out, and the plastics in the vent are spicy to the touch. It’s never worked this well and this is the coldest it’s been outside.

Installed all updates this morning and noticed a big difference in temperature when driving off this afternoon. I like the heat improvement !

Damn, I needed an invite to this party.

After an early morning run down to Ford's Palo Alto office for a fun cars & coffee, I continued to do my part in my personal Mach-E customer satisfaction program for not-over-the-air updates by hosting @HuntingPudel (and his person) @MyLittlePony2022 and @RyZt for some FDRSin'

Alexa works in my car. I reset factory default sync (on screen) and fordpass.

I have the same pending activation since 1 month. Was Alexa subscription activated just after the master reset, doing nothing else?

Yes, after reset and new Fordpass sync

My '21 J1 has a completely new set of door module updates showing as of this morning.



I thought they worked just fine....

Right! After the SYNC master reset Alexa icon showed up and now is fully activated, thanks.

I just ran these updates without any drama.

Edit: Maybe a little bit of drama. Now I have DTCs that won't clear.

Looks like the door modules went from AL to AH. So maybe this is reverting to an older version?

Same. All fine

Did you get any DTCs after that won't clear? I'm seeing this DTC for the APIM, GWM, and TCU modules. I guess the version of the software on those modules doesn't like this older version on the door modules?

That won't clear and you should ignore it

Interesting, thanks. Am I correct that it's being caused by those modules not loving the older door module versions?

You are not correct.

It has to do with the advanced analytics program through Early Access
