Has anyone noticed the auto high beams stop working when making the Bambi mode change?

I have Bambi mode enabled and mine still work.....

The last two digits in the third bank of numbers are a checksum, it's an addition of all of the numbers in the sequence, in hex, represented in hex (which is why sometimes it's an alphanumeric combination)

So your change would be added like this (top in hex and as seen in Forscan, bottom numerical equivalent)
726-48-02 0100 0000 0179
07 + 26 + 48 + 02 + 01 + 00 + 00 + 00 + 01 (and then the checksum are the last two)
07 + 38 + 72 + 02 + 01 + 00 + 00 + 00 + 00 = 121

The hexadecimal equivalent of 121 is 79. When you changed your value to 00, it makes the total 120, or 78 in hex.

Forscan will automatically correct the checksum for you (as it did) but it will first give you a warning to make sure you meant to change the values that you did. Alternately, you can convert all of the numbers and input the correct checksum yourself and it will not warn you as it shows no issue in the line.

Good Post. Thanks!

Thanks Rob! I’ll keep checking to see what happened.

Possible dumb question, but have you checked the settings in the gauge menus? It may have been turned off during the re-program, you may just have to turn it back on.

No stupid questions! I did check that and it was set properly. Amazing how many times turning something off and on again or making sure it’s plugged in saves hundreds on a service call. Appreciate the question!

After playing with ForScan I like it!! I'm curious if there is a way to enable the Navigation without having to get another Apim. Anyone have any idea on this?

Nope, it’s locked out if it wasn’t a Nav apim.

For Nav -- I suggest using Android Auto. This enables Nav and is displayed on the center screen. Actually I like it better than the factory Nav.

Non-Nav APIM is way too short on memory for the OEM maps.

On the upside, used nav APIM units are in the $400 range and with Forscan, easy to install and configure.

Anyone know how I can add the side marker lights to the day time running lights? I can’t find it.

In the latest version of Forscan that is just a menu selection.

Daytime Running lights Includes Parklamps
In BdyCM module configuration

Or you can do it here.

Let’s post here useful FORScan modifications for the 2019+ Ranger

In case you forget what the original setting was... Lookup Module Build Data (As-built) by VIN: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt

As of 5/11/2019 Much of this (not all)} is built into Forscan as "Service Procedures". You should no longer have to manually edit the asbuilt data as there should be easy to use menu options available.

OBDII ADAPTER: This is recomended as it was developed with the team at Forscan. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081VQVD3F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (RCMUSTANG)

CHANGE XLT LIGHTS TO LARIAT LEDS

So thanks to @slowstang and @User79 for the posts with the as-built info I was able to get my DRLs functioning just like a lariat. I think it should be added to the original post for anyone else so they don’t have to dig through pages of posts. If someone does the swap, and wants the lights to perform as a lariat you want to change the following as built info.

726-26-02 needs the * number to be a 0 for factory LED (it’s 1 for halogen and 2 for other) xxxx xxx* xxxx

726-45-01 * numbers changed to 7F to enable all DRL options xxxx **xx xxxx

726-50-01 change the only 4 numbers to 108E which chooses the dedicated DRL

so glad I did the changes. I like the look and function better than the low beams.



John Galt's Mods
Seat Belt Reminder Charm

Climate View on Lariat right side instrument screen (You cannot change climate only view for when sync screen is off)

Changing Sync3 Boot Screen

Note:There are others in the spreadsheet linked but I did not try them.

This is a link to the F150 Excel spreadsheet with all of their mods, its very thorough and technical, I have tried some not all obviously. Proceed with caution if venturing into the unknown.

NOTE: FOR INTERNATIONAL RANGER OWNERS. There are many differences with those models and what works with the North American version. This website can answer or has done many of the requests I've seen asked here. They are based on international Rangers. https://www.saeb.net/index.php
