Are you on flat ground? Can you put it in manual mode and shift to 12th once you are in the middle of the power in 11th? Say, 1300-1400 or so?
Sometimes my Volvos haven't wanted to shift when I wanted them to. You obviously aren't spending enough on her this week. Try washing the truck. -
86scotty Thanks this.

What speed and RPM are you driving in that it wont select 12 gear also need to know trans type and ratio. if you drive 65 in an xe package than chances are you will not hit 12 gear software update will not work need to check parameters if someone changed the wrong parameter, also does the truck go in 6th gear ok with no issues.

Its not the speed amd rpm, even with 70mph it will not shift to 12 gear, all gear good except 12

Just got some more info on this problem.
Take Me Home is a higher performance version of the XE package, recommended for bulk haul
applications. It locks out the top gear when the truck is loaded so the vehicle runs in 11th gear on the
highway, resulting in better performance at heavier weights.
Whether the vehicle is heavy or light is determined by the air suspension pressure measured on the
forward drive axle. This signal is checked every time the vehicle speed drops below and rises above 3
kph (2 mph) to ensure it is operating in the correct mode (heavy or light).
Note: This package is only available on vehicles with an overdrive I-Shift/mDrive
11L XE/SE Adaptive Gearing
Available with 405XE and 405SE
Default pressure to lockout top gear is 310 kPa (~68,000 lbs.)
Can be reverted back to a standard XE/SE with a SW update
13L XE/SE Adaptive Gearing
Available with 405XE/425XE/455XE and 415SE/445SE
Default pressure to lockout top gear is 240 kPa (~55,000 lbs.)
RAR changes from 2.6x to 2.5x
Cannot be reverted back to a standard XE/SE because of the RAR change.
Im thinking either the air suspension pressure sensor is bad, or some setting are wrong.
How can i fix it? -
Look in parameters
There is a setting for airbag psi to lock out overdrive 12th gear.
Change lockout psi to 70, problem fixed86scotty, Siinman and QUALITYTRUCK Thank this. -
