Well, the TCU code was relevant, but it a stored code and not an active fault at the time you checked. Unless it's intermittent and coming on and off?

That was a random image I found on Google just to demonstrate the BMS. 🤣

Yea, I meant with FORScan or a code reader. Check for any codes in the TCU or GWM that can be atributed to connectivity issues.

Is your car reporting any codes?

This. A neutral tint on the front windshield is awesome. I will never own another vehicle without it.

Connect the negative cable for the charger here (circled in red) and not directly on the terminal. If you go directly on the battery post, it will bypass the BMS sensor and mess the BMS data.

You can try chaning this parameter in the BCM from manual to auto: Disclaimer: There is a reason Ford has it coded this way. It is very possible for anyone (regardless of how conscious of this you may be), to leave the car in gear and forget. If this works and someone remote starts their...

I would assume the BCM.

I remembered who it is. Message @A4techpl

Anyone can, but Ford charges a ridiculous amount for it. Much more expensive than FDRS. I have access because I am in the business. I no longer work for Ford; I work for Jaguar/Land Rover now, but I still have credentials that let me access most of the fun stuff they have.

Yea, that info is based on whatever SoC the vehicle reported to the cloud the last time it was driven or the ignition was cycled on long enough for the vehicle to ping the mothership. They can see that in the PTS website. I have access to most of the stuff they have access to. It won't do it in...

I don't think you can guide yourself by this logic because there may be several things that trigger the charging system to turn on regardless of SoC; like having the a/c fan speed set to 5 or higher. There could be other factors where the BMS will trigger the charging of the 12v battery, as...

For anyone interested in monitoring these type of details, you can get a bluetooth battery monitor on ebay/amazon that will provide all these details in real time through an app on your phone.

Again, depends on your tuner. I am tuned with Livernois, and they send me updated tunes at no charge anytime a PCM update comes out. However, not all tuners will provide this service. In my case, I do my own updates with FDRS. So when Ford does release a new PCM update, I reach out to Livernois...

Only PCM updates will wipe the tune, and if you get sent an OTA for the PCM, it will 100% wipe the tune. The tuner would need to send you an update tune with the new strategy. Depending on your tuner, this may or may not be a big deal and there may or may not be a cost associated with it. If...

From my experience, this is addressed on a case-by-case basis. The short answer is no......there is nothing (AFAIK) expressed on the warranty fine print that says an OTA failing repeatedly is covered under warranty. The dealer (or tech) would have to get creative to find a way to bill Ford for...

The window pinch issue would be a door module update which takes 2-3 minutes to flash per door. On the F150 forum, there was a problematic door module OTA that was bricking the door modules for many owners and I helped a few guys reflash it with FORScan. Those are very quick and easy to do. I...

I think the OEM batteries are garbage. I swapped out the Ford H6 battery in my truck for an Optima H7. Not sure if the battery tray on these vehicles can hold something bigger, but if it can, I would recommend to anyone that replaces their battery to go with something bigger and something not OEM.

In my experience, there is only one module that takes 45 minutes to flash and that is the CMR (only on vehicles equipped with Bluecruise) if being updated using a Mongoose or VCM2 cable. Most dealers now have VCM3 cables that would flash that update at least 20 minutes faster than my Mongoose...
