I thought I read somewhere that the BCM and BCMC shouldn't be updated by the owner?

During the bed camera replacement in Sep, my ticket said they updated the ACM, GWM, APIM, DDM, PDM, DSM, and TRM modules and cleared the DTCs.

Should I share the above list of IPMA codes with the service advisor?
The only update that cannot be done DIY by the owner with FDRS is the BCM, but only because it requires an NFTSA login that regular people don't have.

You can, but he has access to the same things I do and he can see them if he knows how to look.

My 2022 KR PB is at the dealer now for the PCM recall and the other issues I raised. @rugedraw and I have been trading PMs today in addition to the post in this thread. I'll post the results when I get my truck back. My wife reminded me we had a faint beeping, almost like a watch alarm, all the way home from the Fort Lauderdale Airport - that was annoying for three hours! I even pulled over and shut off the truck a couple of times to no avail. Thank goodness it's no longer there.

He did as I mentioned in my latest PM. We'll see what they do - or don't do - and go from there.

Literally just received a FordPass ProPower overload notification, so the tech must be doing something right now. Just got it a second time. Same thing thing I've received before - with nothing plugged in.

Yea, they're working on it. They had some trouble configuring the IPMA after the updated it, but it seems like they got it.

Local dealer just delivered the truck back to me. Here's what they did:

1. Perform Recall 24E04 PCM reprogramming and catalytic converter replacement if required: Self test pass no DTCs, perform PCM/SOBDMC reprogramming per recall.
2. Random beeps: Verified concern, self test U3000 found TSB 23-2040 applies, perform IPMA, PSCM & BCM reprogramming, perform IPMA camera alignment, perform 360 camera calibration, and perform IPC configuration. Clear DTCs and retest ok.
3. BC weaving: Related to line above.
4. Faint beeping noise: Could not duplicate concern.

Haven't test driven it yet, but it sounds like they took care of my concerns. Glad they did BCM update since @rugedraw indicated that one's not DIY.

@rugedraw , Could I trouble you to rerun the current status of my DTCs and modules so I can see what still needs updating?

IPMA is still showing some codes, but give it some time. That module is a bit finnicky and takes some time to settle after it's been programmed. Pending updates are below. You can now enable the new BC features with FORScan if you want. Message me in interested.

I was hoping that would be the case! So if I won't need to borrow your Mongoose for FDRS up
dating, you can take me off your list.

Just went for a test drive. Lane centering is now much, much better and it's no longer squirrelly. No stray beeping. I'm very pleased with my local dealership going the "extra mile" to update modules. Thanks for the list.

Edit: I just compared the latest list of module updates to the one you provided earlier this morning. I see the APIM and GWM modules no longer show they have an update. Those two weren't even mentioned on the service ticket. Is it possible the tech went ahead and updated them without noting it on the ticket? Perhaps I owe him some of his favorite liquid refreshment?🥃😂

No, APIM and GWM were not updated today. GWM was updated OTA in September.

Quick follow-up after yesterday's test drive on I-75 to check out BC weaving. This morning I needed to drive around town in stop&go traffic, stop signs and traffic lights. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I'm driving a different truck - in a very good way!

Not only was the BC lane centering much better yesterday, but everything seems much smoother with no jerky or clunky shifting both yesterday and especially today in traffic with frequent stops.

Overall, a very favorable repair and no more stray random beeping.
