Is there a embargo on Russian apps?🤷🏻‍♂️
FORScan is a specialized software application developed to diagnose and configure Ford, Mazda, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, with development roots originating in Russia.

Have you used Forscan to change your tire size?

Here’s a search result:

"The Ford DTC code P160A signifies a "Control Module Vehicle Options Reconfiguration Error"
This code is set when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a mismatch in configuration data and programmable parameters between the PCM and the Body Control Module (BCM)"

"Common causes and scenarios for this code include:"
"Changes to vehicle configuration: This code often appears after modifications such as recalibrating tire size using tools like FORScan."
"PCM and BCM data mismatch: The core issue is a discrepancy in the settings or options programmed into these two modules."
"Sudden appearance: In some cases, the code may appear without any prior modifications."

No that is what popped up. I just went in to have it recognize traffic signs and all i got was 2 round circles on the instrument panel. Do you know how to correct it?

No I don’t. I don’t have a lot of experience with Forscan. I’ve only used it to make two changes. Up the state of charge to 90%, and turn off the horn when the panic button is pressed.

If your truck starts and runs normally, I guess worst case is you’ll have to live with the blank circles. Or take it to the dealer and pay to have them re-flash the affected modules.

Do you have any outstanding software recalls? If so, that might be your best bet. When the dealer flashes a software update, that is notorious for undoing Forscan changes.

If you have a paid Forscan license, you might get support from them.

Or try the the Forscan forum. Yesterday it was down due to a DoS attack, but it is back now. You’ll need a paid license to post, but anyone can browse.

OK, try reading this thread. Read the whole thread. The last post in the thread sounds similar to your problem.

OK I fixed it. I disconnected the 12V battery for a few minutes and it worked fine I was able to program traffic signs, Then after a short drive to see if it worked It did but they are European style round signs. Then I went to change that, and it was just as before with the DTC code, so I will disconnect the battery to get the traffic sign to look like ours. after a lot of searching I found that the vehicles don't like changes, so they throw that tire DTC code 160A. Now to figure out how to get the sign to change to American.
