Tried to use fore scan to increase wheel diameter, and recalibrate suspension

Now I’m stuck with this
No goat modes available
The car seems to run and drive OK

Anyone with any thoughts
Even my friend at the dealer has no idea
We tried resetting, clearing the codes, undoing the battery leads for full reset,
Etc. etc. etc.
It seems like it will not go into ET mode

So we can’t like calibrate the suspension anyway to make it do it thing 🤷‍♂️😤

74Weld have any insight on troubleshooting? Wasn't everything ok prior to installing the 74Weld steering rack case?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but have you made any major changes to your PC or updated ForScan versions since the last time you did a calibration? There's a VDM calibration issue mentioned in a thread on the Raptor forums where changing from v2.3.48 to v2.3.51 caused the VDM option not to appear, but that doesn't sound like the issue you're experiencing.

That may be exactly the problem when we were done working on the car we test drove it to make sure the steering rack and everything was good

Upon returning after everything was great we did a bunch of updates that the computer said it needed to be done

Then we try to recalibrate the suspension before going home

And that’s when we got the issue

Not related to the rack
Suspension issue
We test drove it after doing the rack and everything was great

It was after that when we tried to do some software updates, and then adjust the tire size and recalibrate the suspension one more time

Did they find a solution
Have a link
I found a couple other threads digging around, but not anything with the updated software that you mentioned

I've definitely seen pending Windows updates cause random, weird issues. Just make sure the updates install successfully and do a full restart on the PC before trying ForScan again. Maybe it'll work out for you the next time.

Here's a link to one of the threads I saw on FRF. Post #141.

The guy rolled ForScan back to v2.3.48 and said it worked. Honestly, I haven't used it in quite a while, so don't know if that version is considered current or not.

Update ,
I was able to tweak the bracket on the Foutz control arms to get it close enough to calibrate And got in “ET” mode
All is well now
Rides much better
Thanks to all for the links with info
