I just plugged in my procal to the pc and opened procal software. It found an update. I ran the update and it wrote the new file successfully. Not sure how to proceed. Do I reflash back to factory, then reflash the tune?
I found the below online. Anyone out there done this?

"As posted"
Yes, if you update your Ford Performance ProCal 4 device software via a PC, you generally need to reflash (reload) the performance tune onto your vehicle.
Updating the ProCal tool itself on a computer often wipes the existing files—including the performance tune and stock calibration—from the device, necessitating a complete re-installation of the tune to the vehicle.

ProCal 4 Update Protocol (Recommendations)
Based on user reports and to avoid having the tune erased from the ProCal device, follow these steps to ensure the update goes smoothly:
Return to Stock: Before plugging your ProCal 4 device into a laptop, connect it to your vehicle and return your vehicle to its factory stock tune.
Run Update: Connect the device to the laptop and perform the update.
Restore Tune: Once updated, connect the device back to the vehicle to save the "stock file" again (even if you just did this, the update often requires a fresh save).
Re-download/Reinstall Tune: Connect the device back to the laptop to download the performance calibration again, and then install it to the vehicle.

I just did the procal update on my 25 Ranger Raptor. Now I have body control module fault and four-wheel drive fault. Yay

That old saying holds so true..., " If it ain't broke don't fix it". Good luck!

Ok,
i got around to updating my Procal since August of last year. The calibrations are a little different. I think that is why you have to download the performance cal again with your Ford Performance account.

What software is that? Seems... manufacture-y

You can read your current FP tune serial number and match it to what the tuner app is showing on the computer. It should be the same and it has the letters "FP" in the somewhere.

HpTuners.

If there was an actual change to the tune, Ford would probably have to reapply for certification again. I have my doubts there is any real value in updating after the tune has been applied.

That is not quite correct. When I had my 2016 Mustang GT, they updated the cal one time for fix a SW bug. It's going to depend on if the issue affects emissions or if it's a drivability issue (trans tuning etc.)

Did you ever get these faults resolved? I hooked mine up to my PC and see there are updates available.

No going to dealer Monday for oil change, 3 recalls and the faults.

Good luck! I wonder if the update reset anything around your bigger tires. I came across this post last night and it sounded familiar: https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/thre...24-crowdsourced-spreadsheet.12611/post-284171. Not sure if you already tried it, but a couple of posts down he fixed his faults by going through the trans relearn process.
