just wait until we have a bluecruise lane-changing update -- I expect that will take 12 hours, those modules take forever....
Yeah, considering the random trickle of updates and my usual capability to miss them via OTA, my splurge for the year-long FDRS subscription seems more and more vindicated every month.
I haven’t done the FORscan mod or the HCM update. Problem is I won’t have time to do the HCM update for several weeks. ?‍
?
I just went for it and got a year subscription, glad I did. I didn't expect these many updates so close together. Pretty scary if you have a vehicle that's never gets updates. I can imagine a lot of Mach-E's are that way. I know the dealerships won't go to this level of updates....NO WAY
I think it is so strange that Ford clearly has invested in engineers to fix bugs and improve their cars via software, but then doesn't distribute the software they write to the vast majority of cars.
Exactly. They fix the bugs but have no reliable and comprehensive method of distributing the improvements or enhancements.
I went in to FORSCAN today to enable the high beam ramp up mod and when I saw I had a DTC for the SOBDMC (but it wasn't currently active) I reset it and got on with the programming. I'll wait and see if it comes back. It doesn't appear to be affecting anything. car drives fine, no errors or messages on the IPC.Finally got a few mins to try out @Mike G 's second possible solution to clearing down my errant SOBDMC error. (after having previously tried a PMI and a return to As Built in FORScan)
As suggested went to the module specific testing section and did the "Run selected test", and it looked like it had worked - then it came back red ? So I cleared down one more time and it looked like it went green, but within 30 seconds it went orange again.
I'm at peace - I'll leave it orange for now - maybe a future module update will cure it
Thanks again for the suggestions and help.
Do you show the IPC module available in FORScan? I want to try and enable my
I didn't open the IPC module . But I did see a Power Meter option in the APIM. Now I realize that's not where you'd expect it to be, but there is a setting in the APIM for it. I didn't enable it.
I’ll check it out tomorrow
Perhaps a little training on how to use FORSCAN? Maybe you have it somewhere else, and I haven't run across yet, thanks.
Mike
I actually have an even older laptop I use with FORSCAN and OBDLink MX+. But I have used the Mongoose cable with my FORSCAN laptop and does just fine..in fact it's 'overkill' really. They both work equally as well with FORSCAN.
