Default Warning in the instrument cluster

Hello, colleagues.
I'm sharing my situation and hope you can advise me on what to do. I have a 2015 F150, XL trim, which has an instrument cluster with a simple 2-inch screen. So I decided to upgrade to an XLT trim with a 4-inch digital screen that I bought used. It looks much better. But when I install the 4-inch instrument cluster and start my truck, it gives me a warning to check the 4x4, but my truck isn't a 4x4. My question is, why does that warning come on? Could it be a code that was saved from the previous vehicle? Could it be that the dashboard is detecting some function that my truck doesn't have? What can I do to turn off that warning light?
I hope you can give me some advice.
Thank you very much for your support.

The new IPC needs to be progrmmed for your truck.

Do you think I can solve it with Forscan?

No. Reprogramming things like the mileage (which legally need to be correct) needs special equipment and knowledge. You need to talk to someone like this:

This guy is a big supporter of this forum and is the father of F150 FORScan.

X2 - talk to Livinitup, the error is coming over because the donor truck it came from has 4x4 and yours doesn't.

The cluster has to be re-programmed to your VIN so works correctly.
