Returned to Stock from SCT?

[jimd1050]

O.K., this may sound like a stupid question so I'll start it with an explanation. As I mentioned in my MA RMV Inspection thread, I just re-installed my DPF/DOC filters on my '08 F250 6.4 and returned the truck to stock. As I loaded the original stock tune from my SCT Livewire, everything seemed fine. I didn't receive any errors and it completed successfully. When I started it up and took it for a ride, it indeed felt STOCK again. However, I noticed that my Traction Control was "OFF" and I couldn't change it. It worked correctly before I did the mods in August. The truck has about 180 miles on it since returning to stock so I haven't seen a Regen yet.

My question: Is there any other way to be sure that I actually returned the truck to stock without having to wait 500 or more miles for it to go into Regen? I have to get a Mass Inspection Sticker before the end of February and don't feel like finding out next week sometime that I have a problem. I have an Actron OBD Scanner - will there be any data there that will tell me I am running Ford's tune or SCT's tune? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks...

Hello Sir
What could of happened is, your stock file is corrupted and when you return it back to stock it could be a tune file. That is why the vehicle is not going into Regen and the TC light is on. What I recommend doing is giving us a call so we can get the stock and flash file off the device and see what is going on. Thanks

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the reply - I got the same answer from one of your dealers but he told me to have Ford re-flash it. I called my Ford Dealer this afternoon and they had me bring it in - in about 45 minutes it was up and running correctly and back to stock. I do have to do something to correct the problem with the Livewire now though, so I'll call you as soon as I get a chance during the day. Thanks again for the reply!

No Problem, What I recommend doing is update the device and try and tune the vehicle again. If this happens again then we need to see what is going on with the device. Thanks
