I know we can do a million things with FORSCan (I have)
Has anyone discovered a way to suppress the A.S.S. message that pops up on the IPC when you press the button?

Not looking for advice on how to disable A.S.S.

If ass if A.S.S. in enabled then you'll get the message. You would have to alter the software in the cluster which is beyond what Forscan can do.

I actually like still having that indication up. It's nice to know that the BMS is working and when the battery is charging or has a high load on it.

As far as I know there is no way to get rid of it.

Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but I learned if you get a tailgate light bar plugged into the 4-pin trailer connecter it will disable the A.S.S. and no warning lights or anything.

Since it looks like you don't have BLIS, cross traffic or rear parking sensors you won't see any warnings, but your truck will still think a trailer is connected, since it looks like you have the tow package. Which is why it disables ASS, having a trailer connected. Those of us with those features will get warnings everytime we start the truck and those features will be disabled or affected. Lots of threads on hooking up tailgate bars.
