adaptive computer???

Does the new F150 have an adaptive computer that learns your driving habits? If it does how can I reset it?

Yank your battery connections for 10 minutes or so. Plugger' in and it has to start all over.

It’s a continuous learning curve for the computer. If you go from feather footing it, to flooring it all the time or vice versa, it adapts. You don’t necessarily have to disconnect your battery to rearrange the adaptively of the PCM.

Ok, I treated it like a little baby at first. Letting it pull itself up to speed. When I do this though it lags and feels like the computer can't keep it smooth at bumper to bumper traffic and during take off. Now that I changed the oil today (1 month 8 days and 2800 miles later) I want to open it up a little and hope that some of the start lag goes away. Is this possible?

Yes
It adapts automatically to how you drive.
