The Code set is needed to read the full fault description.
Dash Screen display is not the code, only an alert there is a fault, not what the fault is bryond the base function.
Good luck.
When I used 2 scan tools, no code was given with either. I tried to recalibrate like the user above said but the more advanced scanner just said "failed". Then tried Forescan (USB to ODBII) and it gives a code "C2006 - left actuator". See attached errors and codes. Thanks for any help anyone can provide! @Bluegrass@btipton1986@Fly50@Butch88

You have at least two issues showing in the Photos.
Bottom Photos show Camshaft operation fault, an engine issue showing P code in both photos.
.
The rest are U codes 100 through to 159 the >Scanner may not be able to read< but Forscan is able to show.
Look up each code for descriptions of the fault.
Any that say ...lost communications can be disregarded as sympathy codes that responded to the root cause fault likely to be code C 2006.
You have more issues that you thought.
Good luck.

thank you @Bluegrass just bought this truck from a dealer in October. It's had several issues since I got it. The P codes for the camshaft, I knew about, I have a seperate topic posted on F150forum.com. I have parts coming to try and fix that. The brake issue came up when I changed my back brakes, it went away for a few months but the errors resurfaced again yesterday so I'm back to researching how to fix this again.
not really. The passenger rear emergency brake actuator was full of water when I took it off. I replaced the actuator. Put the accuator on and put it all back together and was getting the same codes. (misaligned). So it was suggested to push the piston back in on the caliper and let it reset its self for the positioning. Since I wasnt able to get it to go into brake service mode, I had to manually wind the piston back. I was able to get it go back but the boot was ripped so I went ahead and replaced the whole caliper was well. Got it all back together. Drove it around the block. All the lights were off and seemed to be fine so I pushed my luck and attemped to put on the emergency brake. Once I did that. the same brake lights came back on saying it was misaligned and brake system failure. I found a work around and went into ForScan and turned off the emergency brake completely. Since then, I've had no issues but I also don't have an emergency brake.
@btipton1986 I tried to find a way to disable the emergency brake completely as a work around like you suggested until I can figure out the root cause but I don't see a way to do completely disable it. I searched all the codes available in the Excel spreadsheet and Googled it but don't see a way to do it. Can you send me the steps in ForScan? Thanks!
