CMAX Error Codes and Vehicle Coding

I'm having issues with my 2008 Ford CMAX, gasoline engine. At 165492 km, the system is throwing error codes on the infotainment screen and speedometer display. I suspect it might be incorrect vehicle coding. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

The issue was suspected to be related to incorrect vehicle coding. After attempts to reset the codes failed, it was confirmed by a workshop that the problem was indeed due to incorrect coding of the control module.

Hey, I have a CMAX too. Sounds familiar. I had similar error messages pop up a while back. Did you try resetting the codes?

I attempted a basic reset via an OBD reader, but the errors persist. I fear it's more deeply rooted than a simple reset. I'm wondering if it has to do with the control module? Did your error come back?

Yeah, mine kept coming back too. Honestly, I messed around with it for a bit, but in the end, I just took it to a workshop. Saved me a ton of frustration. They sorted it out pretty quick.

I decided to take it to a reputable workshop, and you were right. It turned out the coding of the vehicle was incorrect. They recoded the control module, and the error messages disappeared. The whole repair cost me around 360€.
