quirks after APIM replacement

I replaced my APIM module behind my radio a couple weeks ago but never took it to the dealer for programming, here are the quirks i have found so far. can these be fixed using forscan? 2017 F-150 XLT with the bigger screen and NAV.

1. the message " warrning! 911 assist is not operational. Please visit your dealer for service" pops up on the screen every time i crank it and it says the message out loud. i have to tap close. it stays off until the next time i turn the truck on.

2. my outside temperature is not displayed any more.

3. when in reverse there are no icons showing which back up sensor is causing the beeps.

This is all I have noticed so far there very well could be other issues though.

As far as I know and what i`ve heard, APIM`S are vehicle specific and they can only be programmed correctly by a Ford deal using the Ford IDS software so I really doubt that FORscan will be able to help you with this.

Yes they can be selected and deselected in Forscan.

I have the EXACT same thing going on. I purchased my truck used. When I test drove it, the touch screen was SUPER lagged. So I told the dealer and he said no problem, he would have them replace it. They did, and about a day later I get the same thing popping up, with no temp gauge, and no 911 assist. I've done everything possible I could find online with zero luck. Anything you've found to clear that code?

in forscan under the APIM Module, make sure on the "Emergency Call Strategy" that North America is selected and not Europe. It likes to default to Europe for some reason
