If it were me and if it were my problem to fix, I'd go out to my garage like a boss, armed with my lappy (no, not my phone which has FORScan Lite) that's running Windows and has the latest version of FORScan, and using the OBDLink MX already plugged into the OBDII port on the vehicle I'd scan for codes...
I'd love to be able to do that, unfortunately I don't have FORScan.

Is this something that can be coded out?

ie: with my mini the tire pressure monitor system is a Lucas POS and dies after 40k miles. I coded it out with a BMWScan system so it doesn't show the nag message.

I don't think so. Everytime the trucks starts it'll start the code again. There's not a fuse for the AdvanceTrac so it's not even a system that I can disable. From the best I can tell, it drives like normal. The guys at Superlift told me with their lift I would have the same problem and eventually it'd go into limp mode. Hopefully that doesn't happen. I'll likely have to take it to Ford and pay them $99.95 just to diagnose it for me. 

Hell, I've had an overdue recall on the Mustang for over a year that I can't get the time to take it in to get fixed. Service dept is only open on weekends.
