I’m wondering if the place we tapped power may be causing issues. The programming side seems ok, unless there is something else we need to do with the CCM. The obstruction error didn’t bother me as much as the internal electrical code flashed.

We will see. I’m going to re-initiate the calibration process to see if that helps.

 

Exactly why I asked. Those of you adding wires and tapping power may have a bug induced by hacking the system in to the truck.

Interested to know if the re-calibration helps, and if it re-occurs. Then, I would move the power tap somewhere else.

I think we all bought the same revision of the CCM, so a firmware upgrade probably isn't the cause -- but if the recal doesn't help, let's all compare versions.

FWIW -- I used mine for over 30 hours of driving last week, mostly in 4-5 hour increments between key cycles. Zero issues, zero ghost braking.

 

I’ve had no ghost braking. Only one obstruction due to the heavy rain a week or so ago. Then Monday I had the electrical error. I don’t think the tap for the power would be too much of an issue. If the voltage drops, then maybe that would explain it. It push comes to shove, I’ll use the tapped wire for a sense lead to a relay and power it directly from the battery via fuse block.

Anyone know what amp circuit the CCM sits on? 5, 10, 15 amp? I’d be surprised if it’s more than 5 or 10.

My father is a master electrician and is in short an electrical engineer. I’ll run it by him as well.

 

I'll definitely follow your lead and reprogram and relearn everything. I really dont want to tear everything down to rewire the power but if needed so be it.

 

Where did you tap for power?

 

Yes it’s a 10 amp fuse the real location that it really gets it power from is Fuse F110 and that fuse also powers the TCCM if I remember. On my XLT that’s where I tapped. No trouble with mine for almost 6 months now.

 

Orion, let me know where you end up tapping please, I'll follow suit.

Thanks

 

Just wanted to comment. I have not had any issues with mine. I tapped the gray wire that feeds the shutters. I have driven to Texas(from FL)twice and the only issue I have had is the ghost braking/alarm when driving by a water tanker. Which I am putting to the tsb firmware update that I most likely dont have(2015) Other than that it works perfectly.

If Livinitup can get the new firmware from a 2018 and Forscan is able to update, I will hope that is going to complete my issue with ghosting.

 

That's interesting. I bought FL3Z-9E731-D which is not the one for my 2015. Which one did you buy?

 

Great work, Liv.

I saw this previously had to search again for it. I bet it mounts in the bumper, on the other side of where the CCM mounts. Behind the other plastic box.


Now able to function at night, Pedestrian Detection processes information from a radar located in the bumper, and a windshield‑mounted camera, while a database of “pedestrian shapes” enables the system to distinguish people from objects such as trees and road signs. The camera delivers more than 30 snapshots every second, and a video live-feed and viewing angle enables the system to pick out pedestrians, illuminated only by the vehicle’s headlights. If the system detects an imminent collision with a pedestrian, it first provides audible and visual warnings to the driver, before automatically applying the brakes.

The technology will debut in North America on the 2018 Ford F-150 and Mustang, and later this year, a more advanced pedestrian detection technology is expected to be introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in Europe.
