Brake controller display in mc
when i hook up my 5'er i have a read out in my message center for my brake controller. thing is it doesn't register anything. dealer says they called ford and that because of some update it does't work and it's not gonna work. what the heck kinda of crap is that?
brake controller works fine and the display on the controller works fine. the message center is where the problem is.
i have an 08 f250 psd cc 4x4

This has been discussed before, and there is no functionality loss.

I got all the way to an engineer in Dearborn about this. This is the official answer for what its worth. The message we are seeing is normal and is not intended to serve any purpose on a 2008 truck. It is "pull ahead software" for the 2009 model because they are making changes to the TBC for 2009. He wouldnt tell me what the changes were but he said I would have the option to purchase the 2009 TBC if I wanted to install it on my 2008. I asked why anyone with TBC on a 2008 would pay extra to upgrade to the 2009 TBC and his answer was "no one said you had to, its simply an option".
