When monitoring the Authorization Status PID, it'll go through several stages. If cell signal shows 255 it means the TCU is still rebooting.
Everything will then work as long as the other data is also configured correctly.
So while I set this to factory mode- should I have my phone unpaired? Then try to pair it again in factory mode?

Just in time for winter!
At what point did it start to work? Did you end up having to set it to Factory Mode to get the TCU to communicate right?

Am I correct to say it's safe to conclude single line TCU's won't work.

that’s pretty much why I wanted this done- it’s getting cold out now.

The process you described worked perfectly. Set it to factory- resubmitted truck in FordPass- set it back to original build data- set up in vehicle.

and yes, I’ll agree on that. Single line TCUs will not work.
