Strange-o-la, but it was a communication issue internally in the truck brought about by the previous update, when 3 modules ceased communicating. Anyhow, just to clarify, it was the entire suite of ADAS that was not functional, and the regular cruise only started working after I menu disabled the already not working items, and would warn me every time I set it that it was limited functionality.

I suspect that the open engineering ticket caused a little more to be done than a basic TCU update, or at least a very specifically targeted "TCU Update" as the behavior of various items changed a few times before settling down, unless they happened to find a bad line of code and I got the generic fix. Would be nice to know more.

 

Not sure if this is the thread for dumb changes, or just the software update process. If wrong, let me know and I'll remove it...

Sometime in the last couple weeks, there must have been an update that changes the default display. 2023 F-150 KR. The center screen always opened to whatever it was on last--Nav, Radio, etc. Other than a warning message or two, you always got your last screen, just like every vehicle I've driven in the last twenty years.

NOW... it defaults to the Home Screen Menu. Every friggin' time. I happened to be at the Ford dealer this morning (tire rotation), and mentioned this. Service Advisor said they make changes all the time, and even they can't keep up with them.

Why would you default to a different screen than the one you last displayed? Is there a setting I can change to avoid this?

Thanks.

 

This was in an update I got probably last year. They quickly realized the error of their ways and the next update put it back to default to what it was set on last. My guess is your truck is just getting caught up on updates, you next one should solve this issue.

 

Any chance you could look the stats for my 2023 F150 (VIN: 1FTFW1E86PFB51185)? It has been trying to install ECG-24.2.9 for weeks and always says that it was "interrupted". Thank you!

 

I just compared the files you got with the TCU update against another 2024 that got the same update and the files are identical (btw, you have a BCM OTA pending).

I can tell you that certain modules do require a "cool down" period after programming where codes/issue go away after a few key cycles (IPMA comes quickly to mind). Maybe after they programmed the CCM, it needed a bit to settle in?

 

It is failing due to poor battery conditions. I would take the truck for a nice 30 minute drive with the a/c fan speed set on 5 or higher to charge the battery up. Try to manually install it as soon as you park it. SoC is low at 54% and capacity is at less than half at 33 of 70.

y'all say that OTA fail sometimes due to poor battery quality and take it for a drive to charge the battery. How about just putting a battery tender/maintainer on the battery overnight?

 

That'll work, too. Most people want instant gratification, so the driving method is faster. How you charge up the battery does not matter as long as you charge it.

 

Thank you! I don't drive it too much most days, so I guess it is possible that the battery may not be fully charged. I'll give your suggestion a try and hope it solves the issue.

 

I like this method a lot better. I put my H9 on a tender once a week. I also set my target charging to 95% via Forscan.
