Have you used the code reader on the truck before? If not, are you sure that it has the ability to read CAN? If not, then you need a different code reader. Not all code readers are created equal.

You HAVE to have a reader that is CAN (Controller Area Network) capable. I believe that started in 2005 MY Fords. I use the Innova 3130. Works great.
