Software update error message on PCM-23.11.02 - Not Completed

[vrtical]

What I was told by Ford Performance tech support, you must disable auto updates, remove the Procal tune before updating and also before taking to a dealer in case they do an update. Something about updates changing IDs and creating a mismatch to the Procal. But knows, I'm still in limbo.

yeah this is a hot mess.

This makes it seem like their plan is that they have no plan. What they're saying is to reflash the tune back after the PCM is updated to revert it to the previous version. So, whatever HVAC improvements are supposed to come with this update (and future updates), you will never get.

I think the right question to ask is if they ever plan on updating their tune instead of forcing customers to revert to outdated versions just to keep their tune.

I wouldn't think the Procal flash would change other modules. I can ask if/when I talk to a tech again. I'll probably call again today, don't like being in this unknown state.

It won't touch other modules in terms of the software itself. You can do things like change tires sizes or what not so it can make config changes in other modules like FORScan does. The HVAC improvments I am referring to are in the PCM OTA that is being sent out. That is what the release notes say, anyway.

yeah that is where there is a problem... The Procal touches these modules so I never understood how this would ever work corretly if they dont update the Procal revisions. It makes sense to go back to factory which is fine, but then reapply with an older revision depending on what ranges they are changing "COULD" be a bad state.

PCM / TCM / DLCM / BCM

@ThunderFlash Would you mind sharing your VIN with me or @Ducati1098 to see if yours failed with the same manifest error? PM is fine.
