My module displayed a VIN that started with 79812 and it would not work.
My VIN starts with WF0M.

If the above is true then get Ford or a friend-of-a-friend to reflash. Much cheaper than a whole rack.
Could you elaborate on checking the PSCM? Is that under a menu in ForScan? And you’re saying if that doesn’t show my VIN, a new rack’s programming won’t work? I don’t quite understand what you mean by “AS-BUILT data”

My VIN starts with WF0K, does that sound like the only way to do it is via Ford reflashing?
