Yes, both AWD and DCM modules require programming if replaced. Here are your choices for a scanner capability of reprogramming the modules:

1. Ford VCM II / VCM III + IDS or FDRS software $500-$1200
2. Autel MaxiSYS MS906 Pro or MS908 $1200-$1800 - https://amzn.to/41e2MqV
3. Launch X431 PAD V or PRO series $1200-$2000. - https://amzn.to/41gosmp

Let us know how it goes
