The truck will pull slightly to one side and then correct and go the other way and basically wander down the road. It is not an alignment issue but a steering rack programming issue and/or epas issues. The center of the wheel feels dead. I have to move the wheel left or right to take up the slack. I have tried this with the "pull drift compensation" turned on and off multiple times. Multiple alignments. Inspected equipment and tryed replacing lower control arms. Also upgraded to the SPC camber caster adjusters.
Now: that comment about "Moving the wheel left or right to take up slack", I find interesting! Is that slack in the wheel when the system is off as in Engine is not running?

To go back to topic:

You have not loaded the needed Files, thats all.
If you have a paid licence Forscan will load the Files.
With a free trial not.
