My VIN starts with WF0K, does that sound like the only way to do it is via Ford reflashing?
It’s on the first screen that first shows you it connecting to the adapter. Then it scans each module. And reports any faults, ForScan showed the module de-activated for me with an incorrect VIN.

If it doesn’t show your VIN on the PSCM or it shows as deactivated then you need to re-flash and see if that works. As-built is what it was originally flashed with from factory, only Ford is authorised to do this. Other mechanics are authorised from Ford to update the modules but not to re-flash with as-built software. That’d as far as I’m aware.
