It avoids me getting the battery saver mode warnings that turns off remote functions.

The first thing that I did after I got my TCU replaced last month is I turned off OTA updates. The next day Ford wanted to do another update. The screen had a message wanting me to turn updates back on. I got a couple of those messages wanting me to turn updates back on. No more messages lately. I’ll probably get them again the next time Ford wants to do another update.

Picked up my truck today. In my particular problem they replaced the RTM (remote transceiver module). Once this was replaced the battery was checked and found to be working fine. By replacing the RTM all fault codes found had cleared. When I drove the truck home, everything was working as it should. Glad to have my truck back.

My truck was dropped off at Dealer on Jan 14th for a recall update to rear camera system. Truck has not had an OTA update since May 2025 after a failed OTA update back then BRICKED the system....At dealer the recall software update would not load and complete at service dept. After 2 weeks at Dealer the TCU and APIM module replaced. Same issue no communication, no software update loading, entire communication system is dead in the water. Ford tells dealer my battery is weak, after weekend charge same issue communication is dead. Dealer technician has 35 labor hours trying to fix the software issues. Dealer now contacts Ford for more guidance and Ford engineering's server is BRICKED and down since Monday. This is almost getting comical and besides customer frustration, I now regret my purchase. Thank goodness I am still under 3/36 warranty. Ford has to do better than this. Hey FORD ARE you listening?

10 months and countless contacts between dealer tech and Ford Engineering. The traction control problem was still unresolved when the truck went in for TCU replacement. When I got truck back, traction control was functioning and TCU was fixed. I don’t think I ever did get an explanation for the traction control thing.
I contacted Ford and asked for a little something complimentary for 10 months and several trips of inconvenience. Maybe a couple of oil changes. They ended up giving me a free 3 year maintenance agreement. So far I’ve had the local Mobile Service come to the house twice for The Works.
