On another note, I saw a setting somewhere in ForScan about the fuel system prime on drivers door opening. has anyone ever tried modifying it?

EDIT: I seem to be seeing more fuel in the oil and was wondering if disabling that feature has been tried by anyone?

I have seen some people complain about it. It's just the pump in the tank pressurizing the line from the tank to the High Pressure Fuel Pump on the engine, which is driven by the cam shaft. Would not think it would contribute to fuel in oil.

X3 works great for me.

I did try modifying this setting previously. It did not change the door-based behavior.

Have we covered if its possible to adjust the speed that the auto high beams come on? I think its around 32 mph and turns back off at 26. I would prefer it to be more like turn on at 25 and turn off under 20. My fiancee's CX5 activates the auto high beams at lower speeds and I like it way more.

can somebody explain how to use this? I download it for scan to my laptop and I also registered. I was trying to get the two month free extended license. Do you have to wait to be accepted to login to proceed any further? How do you get a hardware ID? it says copy the hardware ID from the about chapter of forescan Where the hell is that at?

I think you have to wait for approval before you can get a license. Mine only took a couple of hours.

I spent the $10 for a 1 year license.

I didn't have to do the hardware ID thing, just copied the activation code and pasted it in.

I turned off ASS, double honk and fake engine noise. Turned on Bambi mode and switched ot the Ford Performance splash screen. All were easy and seem to be working on a brief test drive.

I had a few codes to clear after the ABS bleed procedure. The ABS module codes didn't seem to clear, but when I started the truck they went away. It made a small, but noticeable change to the pedal feel.

I figured it out I bought the $10 license did the abs service bleed brakes work great now. I also disabled ass does that have anything to do with how the battery maintains a charge?

I'm wondering the same thing. Hopefully somebody that knows will respond.

No battery has separate settings. You cab change % charge and completely disability batt maintenance

Thanks!

Just kind of odd the way it's listed as "BMS - Automatic Start/Stop" and the display shows ASS not working because it's charging. Makes me wonder if you're really turning off BMS.

Seems like plenty of people have the BMS lead disconnected without issue, but I still wonder about the long term effect on our expensive AGM battery.

I'm also a complete forscan noob.

I was thinking the same thing

I was poking around FORScan the other day and noticed an option for an oil pressure display when poking around in one of the menus (I was changing the Avg MPG screen to numeric instead of a bar if that helps locate which one). I wonder if anyone has tried that option and knows what it does. I do like the idea of having such a readout, but I'm too skeptical to start changing things on the fly.

TIA!

Is there a GUI for enabling the Variable Line Level audio? Or do you have to change the code in the As built module? Wanted to see if it was called something else.

Won't do anything. Many things in Forscan are for other vehicles and do not work for our rangers. Unfortunately our Rangers only have a pressure switch for the oil and not a sender for pressure or temp.

Yep, I enabled a bunch of gauges and it did absolutely nothing... I'm going to go back in and remove them soon.

Is there a spreedsheet or google doc for Ranger forscan changes?

I was back again tonite after a few months to find some info on changing the battery charge level and I may have missed it in the on the page.

Found something about an offroad display that show something but doesn't show individual wheels, What is this for on an XLT?
I have had the power output display for 2 or 4wd.
plus I enabled trail management and its showing in the offroad display and gauges that I turned on awhile ago. Shows on dash with the incline and lean angles.

Checking the Bronco forscan page. There is a link to a google spreadsheet at the top of their page. They are pretty happy to be able to enable Sport mode on some models, not the same as Baja mode I've learned.
