Setup it up this morning and I have the NA signs. Yes it does flash when you go over your tolerance setting. I have a 2020 XLT Sport with the 301A package.

I will have to check this out. The build date for mine is 9/16/2020 so maybe I’ll get NA signs.

Here's the modules that need changed in order to get the full Speed Limit Sign reading to work:

IPC > Traffic Sign Recognition = Enabled

IPMA > Traffic Sign Recognition = Speed Limit Information Function (SLIF) AND Traffic Sign Recognition Mode = Camera Only On (other modes cause errors).

This all add the options that need to be enabled in the dash menu:

Driver Assist > Traffic Signs > Always On (It will show up in the area highlighted when it detects a speed limit sign. It will time go blank when you slow down and stop/turn a corner of speed up a lot).

Hi friends, I need you help, I see only MODE TO ipma module "AS BUILT FORMAT" I cant found the line to change to "camera only on", , gabriel

The Forscan mods listed here ONLY work on North American 2019+ Ford Rangers. You may have better luck in the Forscan forums (via their site).

Are you running the latest Forscan version?

Just a word of advice on FORScan mods. Make sure your battery is in good shape. My son got new tires on his F-150 and I tried several times to update to fix his speedo. It kept giving me a weird "unable to write" kind of error (I forgot the exact wording). Anyway, after some googling, it looked like it might be due to a low battery or something. I hooked his truck up to my trickle charger and the update took the first time. There was nothing obviously wrong with his battery but it was 5 years old and apparently it was just enough to make FORScan have fits.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you get weird errors when trying to update, put a trickle charger on your battery and see if that fixes the problem.

Hey all,

I recently got a 2019 Ranger and I am new to FORScan. I am planning on doing some of the FORScan mods (i.e. Offroad display, TM mode) but have some questions regarding warranty. I understand that any modifications could void the warranty if the dealer can prove it was a direct result from that mod. I have couple of questions regarding that:

1. Are there any logs of FORScan accessing the system? Even if I revert values would the dealer be able to see that it was modded at some point?
2. If there are any software updates (i.e. Sync 3 ) do I have to revert back to the default config before installing the update? If I don't, would the software update overwrite the FORScan values to default?

Thanks in advance!

You'll be fine with FORScan, since it's only modifying config values to your modules. It's not actually flashing anything that could be harmful to the vehicle. Just make sure you take backups of your modules before making any changes with FORscan and you should be 100% fine.

Make sure you follow the instructions! I missed one of the changes in the IPMA and my truck blew up!
JK ?
Wasn't displaying the speed and went back and re-read Ethan's direction, fixed it and it works!
Another XLT w/302a. No adaptive cruise so I guess it uses the lane assist camera.

One question, anyone know why some of us have US style speed limit sign icon and other (like me) have Euro circles?

Hey Chris - could you post or send me a backup file of you IPC and IPMA As builts? Maybe I can compare the changes at the Hex level and see whats different to enable NA signs.

Good thought Mike, if you find something please post. I'd like the US signs on my MY2019 instead of the EU signs. Hoping it's not a firmware difference between model years. The camera does recognize the US speed signs so it is probably in the IPC module.

I just did my first FORScan modification to enable the Offroad gauge. It worked beautifully. However, I noticed that the RPM meter next to the fuel level disappeared. I still see the analog view, but it no longer shows next to the fuel. Does anyone know why that happened?

Edit: I reverted back the change but the RPM meter still does not appear.

Edit 2: Added a reference image of what it should look like.

I just remembered that I can configure that through Settings -> Display Setup -> Gauge Display. It seems FORScan updated the value to Fuel Gauge only. My bad!

Unfortunately I like to live dangerously and did not make a back up! Sorry
