Default 2015 steering reflash

I recently had my steering reflashed and was wondering if anyone knows if it can be put back to the way it was prior the reflash or update.it was done just to do it there was nothing wrong with the truck know the steering is way to sensitive and it drifts all over. i have hade the truck for 22k without a problem i guess i shouldnt have messed with it.

Pardon the "Captain Obvious" response - Take it back to where the work was performed.

Perhaps the flash was performed without "trenchcoat"?

So you had them fix something that wasn't broke?

Just because there is a tsb does not mean that your truck needs it. Sorry I just see a ton of posts where people are taking their truck in for a list of tsb's that their truck is not exhibiting any of the symptoms.

Yeah, like with any firmware upgrade you only do what isn't working right.

My 2015 was for lack of a better term "flighty" very light sensitive steering needed constant correction at freeway speeds, it did not pull to either side but very irritating. I had latest SSM done last week and what an improvement.

That's very odd. We have installed this new calibration in the PSCM of over 30 vehicles with no complaints

It did make it better going over bumps and road imperfections its just sensitive going straight its almost like it comes back to center to fast and if you try to stop it it goes back the other way.were as before it had some play .i have only put about 800 miles on it since i did it maybe ill just get used to it

Did you connect to the Ford internet to download the latest versions?

I suggest taking your truck to a dealer and have a professional re-re-flash all the systems
