Yes, you can check the manufacture date from the VIN using position 10 (model year) but the actual build date is on the door jamb sticker -- it'll show the month and year the truck was assembled. For this recall Ford is using that build date to determine if your Bronco is in the affected range...

EGR valve failures on the 2.3 tend to show up as rough idle, hesitation on acceleration, and sometimes a P0401 or P0404 code before drivability issues really set in. If you are in the build date range and have not seen any codes yet, worth keeping an eye on idle quality -- the valve can stick...

The tint sensor connection makes total sense. The windshield tint is absorbing just enough light to push the ambient sensor into twilight range under certain conditions, so the BCM holds off on DRLs until light level clears the threshold. If it ever becomes an issue, there is a byte in FORScan...

The BCM restore shouldn't have touched your FP Tune or towing programming — those live in the PCM/TCM, not the BCM. You may have needed to do the tire size relearn and AWD relearn because restoring BCM as-built reset some of the learned configurations the BCM holds (wheel speed calibration...

The double-click sound on the turn signal is expected with 726-43-01 — that byte enables the amber turn/DRL share but the BCM still sends two electrical pulses for the hyperflash compensation, so you hear it even when the light cadence looks right visually. Not a problem. For the intermittent...

BCM as-built restore and an FP Tune are separate systems and shouldn't interfere with each other. BCM as-built only touches BCM-controlled features (lighting, door locking behavior, comfort/convenience features). An FP Tune lives in the PCM/TCM and controls fueling, boost, shift logic, etc...

The amber DRL behavior on the 2025 depends on which BCM block you modified and what your headlight switch position is. In Auto mode, the BCM controls DRL state based on ambient light sensor input — the DRL circuit runs, but the specific amber turn/DRL integration is managed by a separate byte...

If it's just weeping at the seam and not dripping, the factory pan gasket is probably fine for now. The 10-speed pan gasket on the Bronco can get surface moisture under the gasket edge especially if you've been in water or mud — worth cleaning it up like VirginiaHeritage said and then checking...

Good thread. Just to add some context on Cordycord's IPC codes — before touching those as-built values, make sure your OBD adapter is solid and you' using FORScan Extended (not the lite/Windows Store version) since it needs full module write access for IPC. The 720-13 and 720-14 blocks control...

Good info above on the BCM LED lamp setting. One more thing worth checking: when you installed and then removed that harness tap, the BCM may have learned an incorrect lamp load state. In FORScan, go into BCM configuration and look for any rear lighting or lamp monitor settings - specifically...
