P160A Code

I recalibared my tire size on forscan. I don't have any codes on dash but have the code above listed. Is it ok to still drive truck? Should I be worried? Thanks

Assuming you did everything correctly and have no drive ability issues or CELs, you should be fine. My truck had that same code after changing tire size and I ran for quite some time with it.

Did you eventually get it cleared? What did you do? I've read that some trucks "hold" the code but i'm not sure what that means. Does that mean that it is showing the code but its not actually taking effect?

Some trucks seem finicky and keep this code. I ended doing something different with FDRS with the help of @ZooDad and got it to clear that way.

I understand. Do you think you would have been ok running with the code still present? Sorry, just paranoid. Brand new truck. Just has me worried a little.

Nope. I would have keep running with it if I needed too as my truck didn’t have any issues other than it being there.

Thanks for reply and ease of mind. I guess I'll just keep running it like it is. It seems fine. I would prefer it be gone but not the most tech savy on how to get it removed. Thanks again.

My truck is working fine so Ill probably just forget about it unless someone can walk me through the process to clear it.

Like stated, some trucks will clear it and others won’t.

Good to know. I just picked up a set of Tremor tires and wheels and need to change the tires size, and also I’d like to lower the rear tire pressure to 65 psi. Some of the videos I watched remind me of the home improvement shows my wife is always watching. They lay two tiles, and then after a commercial break the whole room is done in minutes…
