Important Information for Module Programming

NOTE:  When programming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors.

  • Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect FDRS/scan tool to a power source.

NOTE:  A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic software.

  • Inspect Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM IIeBay logo)/Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module (VCMM) and cables for any damage.  Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming.
  • A hardwired connection is strongly recommended.
  • Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors.
  • Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio, etc.).
  • Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully.
  • Disable FDRS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes.
  • Create all sessions key on engine off (KOEO).  Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process.

 

Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module

a. Disconnect the VCMII or VCMM from the data link connector (DLC) and your PC.

b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and the PC.  Launch FDRS.  The VCMII/VCMM icon should turn green in the bottom right corner of the screen.  If it does not, troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM connection.

c. If you are using the same FDRS as the initial programming attempt, select the appropriate VIN from the Vehicle Identification menu.  If you are using a different FDRS, select “Read VIN from Vehicle” and proceed through the Network Test.

d. In the Toolbox menu, navigate to the failed module and Download/Run Programmable Module Installation (PMI). Follow the on-screen prompts.  When asked if the original module is installed, select “No” and continue through the installation application.

e. Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the programming process.  Make sure all applicable steps are followed in order.

 

Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination

Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.

September – December 2021 On September 16, 2021, FordeBay logo’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) opened an investigation into reports of intermittent trailer brake controller (TBC) function on 2021 – 2022MY F-150 vehicles. FordeBay logo had identified customer reports of improperly functioning trailer brake control systems. NHTSA also contacted FordeBay logo regarding three VOQs alleging improper trailer brake controller function. FordeBay logo personnel inspected two complaint vehicles but could not duplicate the concern and were unable to identify whether the reports related to an issue with the TBC or with the quality of the trailer connection.

FordeBay logo obtained parts from additional complaint vehicles for inspection, though inspection of those returned parts found no anomalies relating to this concern. FordeBay logo inspected a complaint vehicle in Canada in December 2021. Parts from that complaint vehicle were returned and analyzed, with no anomalies found. FordeBay logo also continued to analyze field data and update NHTSA with the status of its investigation.

January – February 2022 Efforts were undertaken with the supplier to duplicate the concern on an exemplar unit. Transport Canada contacted FordeBay logo in January regarding reports they had received of inoperative trailer brakes on F-150 vehicles while driving. On February 8, 2022 the supplier reported to FordeBay logo that they experienced an improperly functioning TBC while driving an exemplar Super Duty vehicle. Supplier diagnostics identified a potential vulnerability between two instructions within the software where the processing does not complete as intended, resulting in the TBC brake output signal not being properly sent to the trailer while driving.

Further diagnostics found that the software concern identified on the Super Duty vehicle may also be present on the 2021-2022MY F-150 currently under investigation by CCRG. A stop-ship was authorized on February 12, 2022.

As of February 21, 2022, FordeBay logo identified 67 reports of improper TBC function potentially related to this concern. The first report occurred on April 5, 2021.

On March 18, 2022, FordeBay logo’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.

FordeBay logo is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
