Looks like another behind-the-scenes update. How many of these are they going to send? (Photo borrowed from an F150 site)

Yeah, sorry I was posting that in reply to your initial post but somewhere in there the quote got lost.

You should start a new thread if there isn’t one for this update.

Got this from your VIN. Usually, you guys get OTA's first, but the ICE F150's started reporting this last week. @elmedico27 For the cause. No inhibit or wifi required.

@rugedraw is this the same GWM I got the other day and updated in FDRS?

I think so, but I'd need to check in FDRS what version you're on to confirm.

Edit: In this PTS is synced up with your car and it is does show you are on -FAM version.

Just gave myself a small coronary......

Decided to do the Powertrain updates, as that was all that was showing for my 21J1, and all was going well until updating the ABS.

Car went to sleep, pumps running...and "Programming error...retry?"

Gulps......Retry...same.....retry....same.....sweat pouring now......Retry....Ok, Done, and car wakes up.

Does make me wonder, what are the options for when the car is in programming mode with the pumps running how to exit that mode if FDRS gets in this situation and gets stuck. 12V -ve lead off?

I've been updating the Mach-E for near 3 years, and this was the closest I came to having a heart attack lol, even my Apple Watch went off due to elevated heart rate LOL.

I don't think its the same GWM we got last week, seems to be a new one.

Same happened on my Lightning this morning. Well sort of..it didn't completely hang. And then it just continued on the script. The end result was the SOBDM won't clear off the available software list even after a PMI...but all module DTCs cleared 'green' at the end. ?‍

Stories like this are what makes me scared to try this FDRS thing. I think I'll be content to read about other people doing it for now. ?

It’s fun….but not…..at the same time ?

Thankfully I’m green across the board and all modules clear.

Yea, FDRS can be a bit or a roller coaster ride sometimes. Fortunately, I'm bald so I have no hairs to pull out.

No argument here. I never checked FDRS to confirm.
