I mean this the latest OEM scan tool that I use daily with FDRS and IDS it can see every network and module the truck has. Maybe forscan doesn't like that it is wireless but both the IPC and APIM are on the HS3 can network and I Can access the APIM through forscan.

I will venture over to the forscan forums and see if they have any info.
One thing to try is to just make sure when connecting in FORScan that you use a new profile. Stored profiles don't upgrade well and sometimes just don't work.

MrBusses, I have a question for you, as I am playing with Forscan and the available PIDs, I was wondering if the VCM2 or VCM3 will display the battery SOC, like the F-150 does or is it tied to the available programed PIDs in the BCM.
I ask because I walked away from auto tech before scanners became the norm for our toolbox, I have owned a few over the years and self-taught myself how to use them. I had the OTC Genisys for years till it hit its demise with no more updates, then upgraded to my Autel 906TS.
So, with that and Forscan I am unable to view the actual PID for Battery SOC Percent, like the F-150 has.
So, I was just curious is it an available PID with the Ranger and I just need the right adapter to view it? or is it only available via IDS, or just not programmed within the BCM at all.

Now, for your issue of not seeing all available modules, completely load a new profile and it should see the IPC module

Does anyone know if there's an option to disable the horn honk, when locking it with the double push on the key fob? My horn works absolutely fine, when used from the cabin, but when I get out and arm the alarm, the horn makes a really faint noise, almost like the horn is failing... I'd rather just disable it, if possible?

Thanks
Only push one time on the fob lock button. No honk and still locks.

Yea, no shit, but doesn't arm alarm....
You don't need to double-click your lock button to arm the alarm. Otherwise locking with the doors inside when you get out wouldn't do it either. And it does.

And before you even come for me....

I dislike forums....

Everything I've come across says 1 press, doors lock, 2 presses, alarm is activated...
That was true in the '00s. Back in the old days of alarms. It hasn't been true in a LONG time for most vehicles.

This is also why your manual is your friend.

I gave you the correct answer. You can choose to ignore it if you want to. It does arm the alarm with one press of the lock button on the fob.

To idea of the double press is to give you an audible and visual confirmation that the doors are closed and locked, but the alarm is armed with a single press

Locking the Doors: Press the button to lock all doors. The direction indicators will flash. Press the button again within three seconds to confirm that all the doors are closed. The doors will lock again, the horn will sound and the direction indicators will flash if all the doors are closed. Locking and Unlocking the Door

They also call it a “car locator” so if you press it twice your horn will honk and you can find your car in a parking lot.

Thank you, as least you gave me a clarification of how it works on these trucks, but it's just a habit of hitting it twice. I was told long ago, that if something came with keyless entry, you had to hit it twice to arm it, but things have evolved a ton since then. Yesterday morning at work, I hit it twice and there's no longer a "beep" at all now... Same thing when I got home too. Sounds like a relay is clicking though, so maybe that's the issue? Horn still works fine from the steering wheel and panic mode though...

It should only honk if you hit it twice within 3 seconds. Not saying you don’t have an issue but establish that first. Also the door locks make an audible click when you press the button.

Is there a way to monitor transmission fluid temp?

Pulled up the live monitoring and Transmission Fluid Temp in the PCM only shows "NO FAULT"

Thank you!

I've never used Forscan before, and I have a question. One of the add-able options on the first post of this thread is the TPMS placard display. I have a 23 Lariat, and I think that its really stupid that my Fordpass app can tell me what my tire pressures are, but the truck itself cannot (unless I have completely missed it, but I dont believe I have). If I were to use this Forscan wizardry, will that give me the ability to see my TPMS data? For the record, if it matters, mine has the 500A package, which doesnt have the dual productivity screens in the dash - just the tach, speedo, and one center screen.

You can see them in the truck. It's under the driver assist screen, you'll scroll through and see tire pressure.
