Process car would have done all those changes according to FA. Coding with NCS is not updating any softwares. It's only changing parameter values one way or the other. Of course you can get to the same goal via different routes. If you change the parameter values manually there would actually be no need to change FA. FA itself doesn't do anything it's just like instructions on how NCS default codes any module. Though if not altering the FA coding would change back if for example you take the vehicle to dealer for software updates.
