My guess is they have to setup every truck in a worst case scenario, like your towing 32k all the time with a maxed out gvwr and gcwvr

Also we as individuals should be smart enough to decide what pressure we want to run, but you know somewhere along the way the government and lawyers got involved.

When you go to the top icon press the little connect icon on the bottom of the screen, you should see it reading the modules in your truck.

I tried that a few times, its either a faulty device or I am missing something, but it seems I have followed instructions. I did download the software that came with the device, went in it and put my license key in it, but I don't think we even need that software do we?

Is the ignition ON but engine not running? Make sure the ignition is ON, not just the ACC position. Do that and shut down and restart FORScan. I can see that you have it set to auto connect to it should.

It's essentially a computer program run from your Windows-based machine that allows you to "code" certain things within the different "computers" in the truck. You connect to the OBD-II port on the truck (either directly via a cable or via a Bluetooth adapter) and activate, deactivate, adjust, etc. certain features. I am actually able to do this kind of stuff to my BMW through an app on my tablet. It's pretty cool.
In the OP's instance, he's looking to adjust the tire pressures the computer wants to see so that he can run lower PSI in the tires and not trip the TPMS light.
