Default FORSCAN question

I am a Forscan newb, but I did change and tinker a little on my '19 F150 prior to this so I'm somewhat familiar with the process.

I am attempting to change the common things on my "new to me" '21 XLT 302A 360 cam. I was successful getting Bambi mode working, (thanks to livinitup's spreadsheet) auto s/s working (although there's now a power steering DTC) but I can't get cameras at speed code to work. Since it doesn't work, should I revert the code back? Nothing seems to be messed up. I backed up my as-built for every module, but I'm timid about "loading all" in case I saved them wrong.

I found the link on the Forscan forums to get my module build data from Motorcraft, but looking at my current values, a lot are different. Are they different due to updates or what?

Sorry for all the questions. I read a million posts about this after searching but haven't found an exact answer.

no one replied so I dove in last night. I reverted my changes back to normal in the APIM and IPMA since those were the camera at speed changes. To change it back to your saved file is extremely simple, it changes it when you load all, but won’t take until you write all, just like when you make changes. I feel much better now knowing since they didn’t work, it’s back to normal.

my only issue now is the auto start stop was throwing the dtc in the abs module. I tried the simple mode, and I wrote the code out, both times having a code. I reverted that back to normal as well, until I can read all 100 pages of the forscan thread to see if that’s addressed haha

even if you mess up all the modules... you can get the as built right off of Fords site in Forscan.
They just came out with another Forscan version a few days ago for windows (2.3.52) & IOS.(v1.5.17 )

indeed. I found that through research haha. I am running the 2.3.52 as well. Still having issues with the DTC and auto start stop, though.

My buddy was having alot of problems... turned out he had purchased an older switch type reader that got overwhelmed pretty easy. It "worked" unreliably.
I went over with my reader and was able to make changes fairly easily & trouble free.

Regarding the cameras at speed, that comes via an OTA update that your truck may not have gotten yet. I am not sure if using FORscan you can activate it without having the update.
