Default Touchscreen issues

My touchscreen is hard to press and when I do get it to respond it is not accurate, thinking I'm pushing higher than I actually am. For example it takes 2 or 3 hard presses to select the FM button and instead it selects the AM button. Is there a reset for the touchscreen or a calibration setting?
Thanks George

Found this on the net...

To enter MyFord Touch into diagnostics mode:

- Make sure there is no CD in the system
- Set MFT to AM/FM
- Press and hold the eject button and...
- Immediately after press and hold the right arrow on the center wheel while still holding the eject button
- Hold both buttons pressed for about 12 seconds
- Screen goes black and MFT enters diagnostics mode

The system defaults to a speaker tone test which starts immediately. You can cancel it on the screen.

To calibrate the screen:
- Click/touch/poke APIM. This should be the topmost button
- Screen calibration button is on the right
- You will be asked to touch a series of points
- After this it will tell you to press Enter or Esc to accept or reject. Ignore that and poke the screen to go back
- There is another button for testing the screen calibration. This is a grid which will highlight the grid cells that you touch
- You'll probably have to do this again after a system update

PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Thats correct do the touchscreen calibration. The process used to be covered in owner's manuals but I pulled up the one for the 2015 F150 and didn't see it.
