Anything that was formerly modified in the PCM or TCM was overwritten with the new flash. So, yeah, I need to go back into the PCM with ForScan and re-enable Option 3 in the regen dropdown (plain English side). I'll do that this evening, after sundown when it cools off a little; been too damn hot lately to do much of anything outdoors during daylight.
The dash option to select Auto Regen wasn't affected, as that was in the instrument module (and is still present).

I received the recall notice late July 2023 for my 2020. I took it in for a software update then about a week later the MIL check engine light came on. It coded saying it is a bad O2 sensor from the dealership read on the computer but on the app it indicated it was one of the exhaust emission sensor not responding as expected. I thought this one was a factor of the software update broke or messed up the sensor issue because the truck only has a little over 20K on it. Also I am very unimpressed with how they now have many recall notices on the 2020 F250 Powerstrokes. And also did my research on the O2 sensor, it is supposed to be good for between 30-90K miles.

And the update address these sensors.

I had the 22E04 done two days ago, and can still select/unselect auto regen. Am I missing something here that I need to go into Forscan to re-enable?

Took the truck in today. They had it all day, never called me. I just decided to swing by right before they closed. They said the Ford site was down and they couldn't do the updates. They did replace my wiper arms that might come off....

So, if your 2022 Lariat already came with the Auto Regen option available and working as part of that package, then perhaps the flash update would not have affected it, dunno... Model year difference could've played a factor as well, as your '22 might have slightly different module configurations than my '20.

Not really sure why yours was still enabled, unless it's due to your trim level. My 2020 XLT never had the option available to select using the menu option, so I had to enable that menu feature in the IPC module, and then enable the PCM option to allow the command from the menu option to work.

Edit: I quoted him saying something that was related to something else we were talking about that wasn't related to the recall. My mistake.

I can't really see just how your PCM didn't get overwritten, as it's not a selective update (it's a complete replacement of whatever's present). I would suspect that they didn't successfully apply the update, if it were me...

I had the recall done yesterday and after I got the truck back I still had the ability to enable/disable auto-regen that I put in via FORSCAN months ago. The dealership claims to have completed the recall.

If that's the case, then the tech that performed mine took the sledgehammer approach and overwrote each module with the new updated modules. No matter, it was an easy task to re-enable whatever features got overwritten by the update, using ForScan.

(scratches head) Well, either there's something different with later MY and/or trim levels that comes into play, or perhaps dealership techs have different procedures using FDRS for updating modules. Maybe FDRS has the ability to do selective updates and only merge the newest changes with the existing module settings, who knows.

If you happen to speak to ARod again, ask him if FDRS has the capability to merge module updates to existing assigned modules. If so, then perhaps that's the technique your Ford tech used (which would only apply the new module changes, and not completely overwrite your PCM/TCM modules entirely).
