Noticed yesterday heated mirrors were not heating. Connected Forescan and noticed 2 dtc. 1 each in DDM and PDM. Stated no heated mirror output - open or short to battery. Cleared dtc's and rechecked. They stayed gone until I turned on the mirror heat and they then returned. Long story short, reset both modules to original and the heated mirrors worked and dtc's stayed off. Slowly added each mod back until the trouble again appeared and it seems the issue is with the "reverse tilt" mirror codes. To add the reversing mirrors I used the 2 codes for both the DDM and PDM and the problem returned. Took them back out and reset dtc's and stayed off. Any ideas and has anyone else experienced this?

PDM741-03-01Fxxxxx

On another note, are we able to pass on beer money to those that have done so much work?

I do appreciate highly the gas savings. I also knew about the feature before I purchased the truck and was prepared for it - its actually one of the reasons I went with the 2.7.

But to each their own. *shrug*

I'm genuinely curious though - and quite seriously not trying to start a war here - if all the people who hate the auto s/s do so with such a passion, why did you all get the 2.7 in the first place? If you (seemingly) don't care about the gas savings, why not just get the 3.5?

There are various scenarios why it won't shut off, steering wheel angle being one of them, for instance on a right hand turn and your wheel is turned in preparation. For the one or two, or five traffic lights you stop at, the few times the truck shuts off shouldn't be that big of a deal. But anyways, not here to argue, it's just really peculiar to me.


On my truck, there was a bit of a sweet spot on the brake that you could let off the brake and the truck wouldn't shut off, but there was enough pressure you wouldn't move anywhere.

And I agree. Although, I think on the '17, start stop is a standard feature on the 3.5's now, but don't quote me.

I guess it's like Chevrolet (bad word) introducing an all fiberglass body Corvette. Haters said it wouldn't last.... That was, what, 40 years ago now?

just a suggestion, shouldn't this topic have its own sub-forum on here ? I mean, at one point FORSCAN will span multiple generations of trucks and it wont make sense to have it under the "2015-present" sub-forum ... but most importantly, it would make it that much easier to search or discuss specific modifications... with everything being merged in this one mega-thread, its really difficult to follow certain conversations.


just my 2 cents.
