I’m thinking a bed load sensor ? That smart scale thing, but I don’t have it in sync.

Also feeds data to the VDM module for the CCD suspension.

So it's multi-role.

Height sensor for headlights.
Height sensor for Onboard Scales
Motion/Height sensor for Active Suspension Damping

You should see how many ways the various modules on these trucks are slicing the data from the 4 wheel speed sensors! It's crazy.

Disconnect one of the front wheel speed sensors and watch your instrument cluster light up like a Christmas tree. It's like 10 different functions of the truck suddenly go blind. ??

if that’s true, then can I possibly add the onboard scale feature via FDRS or forscan ?

I honestly don't know. But if you also have the rear height sensors and the VDM module, it'd certainly be worth probing.

I am curious if anybody has attempted adding/installing OBS feature?
