@FordTechOne Thoughts on reprograming? (after lead frame replacement) I saw something in FORScan?

You will need IDS unless someone can chime in and confirm whether ForScan has that capability.

Appreciate it! I'll fire up FORScan in an hour or so at lunch and report back...

Ok fellas here's what I'm seeing (FORScan Windows version as of last month, free 2-month extended license, my 2013 Raptor) in the Configuration and Programming section (microchip icon 3rd from the bottom on the left side menu):

I was honestly hesitant to click on any of those PCM options aside from reading As Built and saving a copy of it. But you can run those first three in FORScan and presumably...something happens heh. For reference, when you click on, say, "BdyCM Module configuration" from the above screen, you get the easy menu to change things like TPMS pressure, like I did below for the "Front Tire Placard Pressure" and "Rear Tire Placard Pressure" changed from default 44psi to 30psi. Running the "BdyCM Module configuration (AS BUILT format) on the other hand takes you to the hexadecimal codes where you can make specific manual changes (necessary for things like turn signal passing blinks). Anyway here's BCM screen:

In the Tests area, the clipboard icon at left 5th from the bottom, you can do these things, in this case not useful but interesting these are available:

And finally Service Procedures, the wrench icon 4th from the bottom we got gravy; several PCM procedures (which again I haven't tried for fear of frying something so didn't):

Now we just need a guinea pig to try it, liquid courage optional

@BenBB I also saw the transmission adaptive learning not sure if that is what he might need to do..or if there was something else. @FordTechOne speaks in acronyms not sure what IDS is...lol

Me neither! Appears to be the official Ford software, that FORScan mimics to some degree:

On a side note, Ford does offer a 72-hour access to ALL service manuals for $26.34 on the same website I got the above. I might resort to that on this Exploder...

Especially since the official USB version of just ONE manual is $323:

Sorry if you already were aware of these but throwing it out for others like me that weren't...

So FORScan has the ability to "Clear Transmission Adaptive Tables" in the PCM, is that what we should do if we replace a lead frame?

No the solenoid strategy needs to be programmed to the PCM.

It's easy to update transmission characterization with Forscan. I've done it a few times. Reset transmission adaptive then recharacterize the transmission to the new valve body strategy. Below is a quick video on how to do it.
