Ive never used FORscan before, but I assume its like just connecting an OBDII scanner.

Hook connector up to truck and laptop, turn truck to on position and open FORscan?
Yes, pretty much. You might want to hook up a battery charger. If the battery drops too low, Forscan won't work correctly. Also because it takes time to backup all the asbuilts before you start changing anything.

Do I need to purchase the license to change anything? I got it all hooked up and saved my trucks profile but I was not able to make any changes.

Hey All -

I've successfully multiple settings in BdyCM and IPC using the table at the top of this thread - but I cannot find this one in IPC (using FORScan v2.3.38 beta):

Disable Startup Chimes (3x doo-doo-doo)IPC720-01-02 (xxxx x2xx)RCMUSTANG


Does it have a different name or location? Thanks for your help!

I think that one is only changed by a hex code edit of 720-01-02. At least that is how I had to disable it. Besure to backup the module and/or take screen shots of the code and give it a try, its just as easy.

Sorry for the long delay everyone, it's been quite the past few months.

I have finally updated the wiki post to be a table format, trying to link together AS-BUILT and GUI options together, and putting them in an alphabetical list, roughly, as well as trying to provide descriptions if possible. Hopefully this helps keep it clean and helps others find things they're looking for.

To those who have contribute, which I'm tagging below, I would be very appreciative if you would take the time to verify the settings you've contributed to ensure I didn't completely mangle them when updating, and for those that don't have a description, if you would add one, that would be awesome.

Thanks to everyone for their contributions so far!

I see the traction choices listed. Has anyone tried to successfully disable these? I don’t like hitting the button all the time.

I can't say if anyone has but something you need to be aware of is that is considered a safety feature where if you completely disable it and you all of a sudden get into a wreck Ford can take the time to look into your truck and see if that's been disabled entirely. If it has been disabled entirely everything is on you and not on Ford whatsoever.

It wouldn't be on Ford anyways. Accidents aren't on the manufacturers unless there's a widespread safety/recall issue, they're on the individual drivers and insurance companies.

You would still be surprised as to how much they investigate when a accident happens. If there's a fire on the vehicle or maybe someone just randomly lost traction. These are the things are going to look into and decide if there is a safety recall that needs to be made or not. That is why I don't recommend disabling the traction control permanently. All manufacturers don't recommend turn the traction control off whatsoever anyways because of it being a safety device.

Yes, but that doesn't put any onus on the manufacturer unless there's a serious defect. You'd also be surprised just how little most accidents are investigated unless they're fatal or have serious injuries/damage.

I have yet to run across a reason I would want to disable traction control even temporarily, let alone full time.
