Ford Pass Broken?


Recommended Posts

Seems like since the last update, Ford Pass is no longer able to report my cars mileage or oil life.  Simply says "--" for mileage and 0% for oil life.  It is reporting correct fuel level.  Anyone else noticed this?  I've tried clearing the data and cache on my phone, logging out and back in, and even reinstalled the app.  Same results.

I just took a look at FordPass to see if mine was having the same issue.  The app says we have to disable Android Auto to use it.  Maybe that's the problem some are having?   BTW there's a FordPass update ready for download this (Thursday) morning in the PlayStore, maybe the AppStore too.  The update 'might' fix the mileage/oil life bug.

Hi Muzicman61, I am having the exact same problem.  And yes, it was after the last Ford Pass update.  I contacted 

a Ford Pass CSR.  She tried to help troubleshoot the problem.  Ford Sync was not communicating with the Ford Pass

App.  She told me next step is to take it to the Dealer.  As my car is under warranty, I will do so next week. Unless the update

Gadgetjq mentions fixes everything.

Seriously?  Take it to the dealership?  There's nothing the dealership is going to be able to do to fix this issue.  Ford Pass is actually communicating with Ford Sync.  It's properly identifying my fuel level.  Just not the odometer and oil.  The only fix for this will be an update to the Ford Pass app and fix whatever they broke.

 

I think that's the typical response from a CSR when they can't resolve the issue.  Take it to the dealership.

Seriously.  The dealership.  I know I don"t understand everything about the new technology, but My Ford Pass is not updating anything.  Everything is frozen at Dec 10.  Location, fuel level, oil life, everything.

When In Ford Sync, I go to Ford Pass connect, connectivity settings, hit connect and it just spins no connection. But I hope an update from the PlayStore

fixes things.

Mine was stuck at Dec. 10 also until i uninstalled the app and then reinstalled the app and logged back in.  Now I can see that it last updated recently, like X hours ago...  which just goes to prove Ford Pass is communicating with the vehicle.  But I'll be curious to see what your dealership says.

No dice.  Was it the Jan 8 update that worked for you in the re-install?

 

Not sure what version i was on when I reinstalled the app.  What I'd try is clear data and cache.  Uninstall the app.  Reboot phone.  Reinstall app and log back in.  If that doesn't work, then I don't know what else to try.

My Android phone was acting funny last week after the update.  All of a sudden Ford Pass piped up and instructed me to immediately install the latest Sync3 update (I have done them all, for my vehicle, anyway), and then vanished.  I went directly into FP and got nothing, so I waited.  Took a few minutes and then it appeared with everything seemingly back to normal.  I'll try a Vehicle Health Report next week.  Right now my Fusion is headed into the dealership tomorrow for a "TSB" to prevent needing a new engine, so I'm kinda swamped.  Just gotta love Ford, ahem.

So I finally had time to stop by a Ford Dealer and share this problem with them.  After some discussions the tech 

thought the problem might be the  TCU in the vehicle.  He said he might have to reprogram the TCU.  Anyway here are

his tech notes:    FordPass App not connecting to vehicle

                               Performed ssm 48316-removed TCU fuse for 5 min/no new

                               TCU programming available

                              Clear DTC's and reset.  TCU operating normally.

I hope this might help someone in the future.  Its good having the app work again.

Well, maybe you have a different issue.  I know that FordPass is connecting to my vehicle, as (A) it's states when it was last updated and (B) Shows the correct fuel level.
