Default Forscan help please

I installed a trailer brake downloaded the 2month forscan but it keeps telling me it can’t Id vehicle. It is tuned so I enter the pcm part number like it asks and still says it can’t Id vehicle. I couldn’t register on the site because they have that part shut down due to Russia is that the issue? I’m using the elm27 cord recommended on the site so I doubt that’s it.
Edit

It sounds like you have comm settings wrong in forscan.

Others have had this issue, best bet is to return the truck to stock with your tuner, make your changes and flash your tune again
