Well now after I get back in my truck and try to load a tune it said error code 1023 incorrect vehicle... I'm guessing they reflashed it at the shop???? Now what???

Which SCT device are you using? New version of X3 that does custom tunes only? Original X3 that does canned and custom tunes? The SF3 that does canned and custom? Livewire, TSX, iTSX, Livewire TS?

Error 1023 means that the device doesn't have any custom tunes loaded into it.

I know the link below shows this code for the 6.4, but I assume it also counts for the 6.0. SCT isn't the most informant website for troubleshooting.

Also, did you buy the SCT new or used?

Did you buy the SCT used? The P1000 means the PCM was just recently reflashed or batteries disconnected and needs to complete its checks. The P1000 should go away after the checks are complete.

You can't "return to stock" wrong, you only have one option to return to stock so you can't mess that up.

What probably happens was, your SCT software for canned tunes were an older version and you might need to update the SCT SF3 firmware and tune revision. Or if you had a older PCM strategy for custom tunes and ford flashed you to a newer strategy, then the customs might not work.

If you already updated the device Firmware and Tune Revision when you got it, then I really don't know what happened. But if the device was sitting on Powerstroke Magic's shelf for awhile, it may need updating.


If you just bought the device and custom tunes from Powerstroke Magic, they may write you new tune for free.

Goto SCT website, you can update it yourself. You need to download the SCT "device drivers" first, and might as well download the "Liveload" software. The drivers must be loaded onto your PC before you connect the SF3 to your PC.

It's under "device updates", then scroll the pics of the device over to the SF3 for the Ford, click on pic and then it should ask you to type in the device serial number so it can give you the updates available. You can check the Firmware and Tune Revision software ID numbers against what your SCT device has.

To find your software numbers in your SCT device, plug it in and scroll to "device info" hit select and it should show you the software ID numbers.


If your SF3 software matches what available on the SCT website, you may have to contact SCT, IIRC their was a bad batch of units sent out, they can take over your PC remotely and set you up. Be ready so sit in front of your PC, you may be on hold for a long time. It's best to call on a week day morning, remember they are in Florida and go by EST.
