I will try that now

The GWM, APIM, TCU and IPC are updated with a USB even with FDRS. I guess you never made it that far, but FDRS will eventually ask you to insert a USB formatted to exFAT to where it will download the files needed to update the GWM. The other option is to update via CAN or using the cable, but again, I don't think you are getting far enough along the process to get to where you have that option.

Are you using a Mongoose cable or something else?

Click the GWM in FDRS and try to run the PMI procedure on it. If that doesn't work, I'll get you the files tomorrow or Tuesday.

It may also be a bad GWM and need to be replaced.
