2022 Ford Super Duty Service Manual

[ccw]

Thanks again CCW. I bought the Helm USB for my 2022 a little while back but just got around to installing it today. At first I thought that I did not get the wiring diagrams, but reread this thread and followed the fix in post 43 to install the SVG viewer and it fixed that. Then I followed the instructions for the hack in post 39 so I can run without the USB stick present. I am not much of a Windows person so this helped a lot. I am running this in a VM on an intel Mac.

Awesome!

I've had my truck for just over six months and opened the glove compartment, and voila! No gloves. But! There was a manual. I was shocked.

Did you check both glove compartments?

There's another glove compartment!?

There's another glove compartment!?

The upper cubby. Not really a "glove" compartment. Too small for much of anything.

Oh yeah I know that one. I keep the itty bitty thongs there

Are others able to print the wiring diagrams from the Helm software? I can print the workshop manual pages with a right click and can print connector faces, but when I try to print a wiring diagram with the print button in the upper right corner I get:

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I'm not sure why you are getting script errors, it could be it's trying to print from a server rather than the screen shot.

When I print a schematic, I use the "SHIFT" "PrtScn" function on the page I want by clicking on the page to print from a separate program, or right click or use the print icon in the upper right of the field and tell my printer to print the "current" page. This uses the default printer on your system. Seems to work every time for me, I just tried it and it printed correctly.

Script errors can be caused by12:

• An error that has occurred behind the scenes, either on the web server for errors in a web browser or on the programming end of a software program.
• Incorrect code implementation or some other bad configuration on the software side.
• Syntax errors that take place when the JavaScript interpreter fails to execute a syntactically incorrect code.
• Improper usage of undefined/null keywords.
• Undefined methods.
• Improper usage of the return statement.

I have the Ford Software as well. That error will popup if you use the top right print button. You will need to use the lower left print button to print.

I have a problem with the Ford Software trying to look up components in the electrical area. When I select component and try to find any components its not found. Unfortunately this is for my 2017 F250 truck and I purchased this software many years ago.. I just wonder if the same issue exists anyone else's.

Ok, after some poking here's how to get the Helm manual working without needing the CD after install.

Of note: you will need the CD for initial install without some more significant shenanigans. It is copy protected, meaning the installer won't run from a regular disc image. It needs to be run from a CD drive or a fully emulated CD drive as far as I can tell (would love to be proven wrong about this).

The need for the CD for install is super annoying if your laptop doesn't have a CD drive and you don't have a USB CD drive on hand. Yes, they're cheap, but they should be unnecessary in this day and age for software.

Also super annoying because you need to keep the damn disc around in case you ever need to reinstall it. I'll probably poke more at this, but wanted to get y'all unblocked on using the already installed software without the disc inserted.

Steps:

1. Insert the disc and run the installer as normal.
2. Using File Explorer, copy the entire contents of the CD to a folder on your computer. I'm going to use the path "C:\Users\ccw\Ford Service Manual" as an example in these steps, but make that the path the folder you copied the contents to.
3. The installer will have created the folder C:\TSO with a bunch of stuff in it. Open the file C:\TSO\tsobrowser.ini in a text editor of your choosing (e.g. Notepad). [Figure 1]
4. Copy the 4th line, make a new line below it, and paste your copy there. [Figure 2]
5. Comment out the 4th line by putting a semi-colon at the start of the line. [Figure 3]
6. Modify the 5th line (the one you just pasted), replacing the path that looks like "E:\~stock\home.htm" (your drive letter might be different) with the path you copied the DVD contents to earlier (in this example "C:\Users\ccw\Ford Service Manual"). [Figure 4]
7. Save the file, close it, and eject the DVD.

Despite ejecting the CD you should be able to launch the program without issue! Please let me know if you run into any issues with the steps above, or if you find something about the program not working after doing this.

Hello CCW, I was able to do this with the older versions no probablem. By any chance would you be able to help me with configuring the new 2024 version as its a little different install?

Unfortunately @ccw hasn't been on for a year and is a retired mod. I've tried to contact him several times with no luck. Hopefully someone else chimes in to help you.

Stupid question... You running this off removable media (CD, USB, etc) or installed?

WIth VIDA (Volvo diagnostic tool and manual) it has to be installed to function properly. You can use it on removable media but some features rely on system services and will not work.

My Ford (non Helm) manual is a huge PDF on a USB drive and has similar issues running from the USB vs internal HD when it comes to searching and using the TOC.
