Hello!

I have seen a few random posts about this but haven’t seen a for sure answer. I own a 24 F150 Platinum. On the window sticker, it says the phrase “less onboard scales”. I know that this meant that the onboard scale feature was removed, but I’ve seen many other forms that if I have the VDM module already installed, the upgraded rear shocks, and the level lights in the tail lights that I should be able to enable the feature back. (Photos included) Is that correct? If so, how would I do that forscan? I am very new to forscan but am somewhat tech savvy.
Thank you!

Quick update!
I went in and looked around. I was able to enable the smart hitch and onboard scales button on the main screen, but it did not enable the actual feature. As you can see in the photos below, I can click the button, but it gives me a pop-up to visit the dealer. When I go into the modules, there are three on board scale calibrations I can run, but the first two fail immediately saying it is not at the factory load. I assume this means that the vehicle isn’t empty? I tried to take everything out, but it still did not fix any of the errors that were popping up when trying to calibrate. I was able to set the vehicle payload though when I looked it up, my vehicle is 1755 pounds. The VDM now stored that setting, but that is the only successful setting I was able to store.

The photos below show the screen button that is now available. It shows the error I was receiving when trying to calibrate. There's also a photo when I was monitoring suspension height levels.
