Ford F-150 Lightning HELP - e-Brake Warning after Forscan attempt IMG_8590

hi there, this is what my dash screen looks like after doing a Forscan modification, I’ve reverted all the settings back to factory as built, and it still shows up this way concerned about the parking break. I’m not sure if the other image the blue square in front of the vehicle was like that prior or not just a new owner not even a week yet. Hope I didn’t screw up too much. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The blue box is supposed to be there.

Have you checked for DTCs? Doing FORSCan changes already?

You may also want to download the As Built from Ford that is specific to your vehicle. Just as a double check that you have them set them back correctly - especially if you used mine. Your vehicle is Canadian so using an US As Built might also give issues. You can download yours here:

Also Ford adds to the config / As Built file with some updates. If you have a new truck that doesn't have a lot of updates and use an As Built from another truck with updates you could get mis-matches.

I believe some people would load a config from another truck, I would avoid that, just use the As Built to look at individual lines and update just the line of config you need to manually.

Wonder if this has anything to do with it maybe that’s a brake warning not an E break issue
But I do get a brief break is off screen at start up
I mean, I’ve only had the truck a week today and that’s the level of break fluid??

That photo is the coolant tank. Not brake fluid...(or "break" fluid).

You have to remove the drivers side cover with frunk open to see the brake fluid reservoir.

That is the distance indicator. It shows you if you are too close to the car in front of you. If you don’t like it, you can turn it off in Settings - Driver Assistance

If you don't understand how FORScan works, don't use it. It's not worth bricking your truck. Always back up the As-Built files before making any changes, especially since Lightnings are connected vehicles. When you make changes, they sync to the cloud, and as a consumer, you can't recover the previous files.
