Hoorah!. After recent Android updates I now have Gemini assistant in Android Auto. Works great. I highly suggest setting the voice the the woman with the British accent. You have to set this in your phone. Very conversant, just like Grok in the Tesla. The world is actually getting better.

So to make sure I understand you... You mean you have corrected circumference with Forscan, The computer did not like changing it, but accepts the change and sets an error code, but no "check light" turns on, Correct? I guess the dealer wants to know if the user changed tire size. While...

Have any of you reprogramed using Forscan to adjust for tire size?

Your best approach is to get an ODBII interface and connect Forscan and see what the diagnostics tell you.

My bad, After upgrading my phone I see that Gemini is now the default assistant. Tell you what, not as good as Grok is in the Tesla.

Do any forum members have this working yet? I was driving in my buddy's Tesla last week and he had Grok AI setup and it was pretty nice. Very conversant, like another passenger in the car. So I went online and it said that Google was rolling out Gemini AI to replace Google assistant in...

I take it all back. That Ford Performance exhaust is a good deal. Gibson is asking $800 for thier basic replacement....and it is mostly 409 Stainless.

I guess the difference is the price of the bling. But you have to admit, it is clear that Ford omitted "something" to go around the ignition lock set on the early 5G's I'm all in with a replacement stainless exhaust when the time comes. But my expectation is durability and not performance or...

The ignition trim ring is mandatory :)

What's the point? It is still a single inlet to the muffler. All Bling, a waste of money.

OK, I'll bite, but is it really safe to mount and run these desulfators permanently in the vehicle? Obviously you have had no issues, but it is my understanding that these units work by spiking short pulses of higher voltage to the battery. Seems risky to the rest of the electronics in the...

I haven't had much success reviving AGM batteries over 8 years old with a desulfator. I have tried on at least three different occasions. Granted, I did not use your brand of desufator. The AGM battery in my 2019 just died this year. But three years prior to the failure auto-start/stop...

Update: I finally got around to replacing the driver's side actuator with success. Followed the instructions in this youtube video: See my comments there. I used an aftermarket actuator off of ebay. The yellow cam was a tight fit. I decided not to push it on all the way. I left maybe 3/32...

I am already impressed with the long term commitment of Sync and Android Auto software. Have you ever wondered "How long will it last?" Will it still all work when my truck is 15 years old? I have a 2018 Google Pixel 3 cell phone and Sync is latest. I can't believe that it all still works...

Dunedain - Your battery is slowly going, that is why ASS no longer works. They have a battery voltage monitor and if it thinks the battery is getting low it will disable ASS. Try charging you battery with a charger and then perform the BMS reset procedure: To perform a Ford Ranger BMS reset...

I think the main point is that I have no trouble controlling auto start stop with brake pressure. So it's not like I am needlessly using it for short stops. If you did not have auto start stop and you got stuck in a traffic jam for an extended period of time you would shut down the motor...

I think it depends on your driving habits. If you are retired and drive locally once or twice a week then the accumulated wear as a result of ASS is not really significant. The fuel saving in stop and go driving may be worth it. Also, oil quality can make a big difference in the mixed...

Just an update. Clearing codes with Forscan and resetting/self test of FCIM did not resolve. I am still left with B1081:07. So I have to pull the driver's side actuator. Unfortunately, I have been real busy this week. I probably won't be able to pull the actuator out until next week.

I can adjust the passenger side independently. It is clear that the problem is the driver's side actuator. The ecu thinks open circuit so either actuator or connections to it. I think the ECU turns off independent control when it detects such a failure. I've always had it set to...

Thankyou all for the suggestions. I'm done for today. I'm traveling tomorrow, so I will probably deep dive into this on Monday. FWIW - Not my first Rodeo regarding Ford climate control. I recently "redesigned" the motor vents on my 1988 Merkur Scorpio here...
