Wow i cant believe this doesnt have more views. Watched your intro to forscan video then this one. Works like a dream! Was adding fake kilometers to my 2021 f150 because my winter tires are smaller and no dealer or shop would fix it for me. Life saver!
Let me just say you are a blessing I don’t know why you don’t have more likes so I listened to how u calculated everything and my mm was 2697 and just listening to u I just set it to 2650 and bam it was on point thank you so much I needed this cause I am going on road trip have a blessed day

Thank you for the wonderful comment. Sometimes with KZread it takes a while for a video to really make it in to circulation
so I know this is an old but very useful video. I have purchased a f150 with a 3" lift and bigger tires 35/12.50R20's and can not for the life of me. Searched the circum. and shows 2794.76. Made the change via forscan and it took the new circumference but at 60 im still going 6 over. thank you Auto Dad !
I have a 2011 f150 with 325/60R20s, input 2819 mm for circumference. It did not change the speedo. Its still traveling faster than speedo says. Speedo set to 45mph but the actual speed is 49 mph.
Great video! I have a 2019 Ford F-150, attempted to do this both ways using the tire size spreadsheet and the circumference. Both end up throwing the wrench alert and check engine light. I have reset the PCM Module Reset, the TCM Reset All Adaptive Tables and TCM Clear Transmission Adaptive Tables. After that I reset the DTC which clears the wrench signal. But then I am left with PCM CODE: P0630, PCM CODE: U0422 & OBDII CODE: P0630 that leaves the check engine light. Anyone have any advise?

Just did mine I get the same thing. Another thing I don’t understand is my original tire size which I haven’t changed at all was larger than what I have now. I went from 265/55/20 to 275/70r18 circumference increased significantly.

@masontanner1779 what was the original size in forscan I lost the paper and can't get mine to go away.
Great job! Does any body know how can i do it on KIA & Hyundai? I've searched a few days, but didn't find something helpful for my KIA Picanto yet. I've just changed the tire size and have some problem with the speedometer. Any helps on this would be highly appreciated.
"I hear you" ahh that annoying sound and one starts talking to the truck, same here lol
When i did mine on my maverick, my car went crazy. Lights and chimes. Got a code for p160a. Body control module inaccurate data. Had to do reset to clear and force module to accept new tire size. Scared the shit out of me at first thinking i broke my car. But after reset doing fine.
Your videos have been very helpful to this new owner of a 2017 SD. I downloaded Forscan and purchased the OBD connector you suggested. I needed a couple of sessions to get comfortable with the software and I have made some changes to my truck successfully. In your video you received an audio message in regards to your 911 system needing service. My truck is an XL, no Sync, no Bluetooth, no Navi all I have is AM FM and a CD player. The question I would like to ask is, if you know how to address the 911 audio message you are receiving. My problem is kind of a similar issue, when I start my truck up and when I shut the truck off I get an audio message like your 911 message but in French. Upon start up I am pretty sure it is saying to "updating system please" and when I shut her down I have no idea what the message in French is. Yes I have done all the language settings in my dash and radio menus all of the written words are in English it is just the 2 audio message I receive in French. So I was hoping you might be able to tell me if there may be a solution using Forscan. Once again Thank you for your videos they have been very helpful. Sincerely
I downloaded the latest version and Tire Circumference is not listed.
What speed app did you use?
What year was your 2:14 truck? I mean was it a 10 speed superduty 6.7?
So I adjusted and it seems to not be staying true must be my gps being off it keeps jumping around
ya don't go by just tire size, each manufacturer can very actual size of tire. the whole "run big" thing is real, and that'll throw off your circumference. look up actual tire manufacturer specs.
Can anyone help I need tire circumference for 285/75/r16
So I did this. My tire size is 285/65/20. Circumference is 2760. Before I changed it my spedometer showed 3mph slow. I changed it to 2760 and it’s showing 3mph fast now. Unsure what’s going on

@@kristinemayer346 you have to use the relearn functions on the PCM and TCM after you input the new tire size on your BCM. Your basically recalibrating the data in those modules to be compatible with your new values for your tire size. Once you do that the wrench will go away and you can clear the DTC codes. There’s better information about how to do this on the f150 forscan forums.
