FORScan Modifications

[troutspinner]

Yes 2021. Another strange thing is that I don't get the light on my dash either when A/S/S is supposed to normally activate. Which I don't mind, but on my friends 2019 which he disabled through Forscan, he still gets a light on his dash every time A/S/S/ would normally work if it was enabled.

I get that grey light with the slash through it when I come to a stop but it’s not on when I am moving.

Weird. I get no indication at all in my instrument cluster. Maybe because I have the poverty Ranger? the XL.

Oh perhaps. Mine is a Lariat FX4 so maybe that's why...I'm not sure.

Do not know, as I have an XLT.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks again.

I asked once, but I will ask again. Does anyone have the stock tire size setting on a FX4 XLT? I tried adjusting it last night and I went a few mm smaller than stock and its still reading high. I am trying to get it to read a bit low to correct my odometer. I was running high for 5000 miles, and I want to run low for 5000 (indicated) to get close to accurate. Given that my tires are oversized, shouldn't the speed by under with stock size?

The MM adjustment in the UI just flat out doesn't work like it should.

You need to use the tire size calculator to get anywhere near where it should be, reliably. https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6174

Just looked mine up. Mine says 2360 mm for tire circumference. I'm running the stock Hankock's, LT265-65-R17s

I wouldn't worry too much about the setting. I remember it wasn't what it should have been back when I corrected for 295/70r17 tires. Your best bet is to use a GPS, download a GPS app or just use Google maps (I used the second two options) to read your actual speed and use trial and error on the setting until you get it where you want. It didn't take me more than 5 minutes in a convenient location where I could enter and exit the highway easily to get mine less than 1% error.

I used the calculator to adjust and it was waaay off. I’ll have to play around with it when I have some time. Mostly, I’d like to get it to stock so I can futz from there.

thanks for the reply. To confirm, is it really 2360? I’ll have to check mine again(from memory, I swear it was over 4000)… don’t quote me on that though.

that’s what I’ll have to do. Very weird. Thanks!

 

[Colo_Ranger]

Never mind. I used 2435. I was thinking 4235. That would have been waaay off. Ha!

I'd have to go into Forscan to verify but that's what I have in my spreadsheet where I recorded my configuration values. I hope I wasn't that dyslexic, but you never know.

I tried out the cornering fog lights and was not a fan. My wife drove it first after I made the settings change and thought she came home and said my lights were messing up. I drove it last night and can see why it would weird her out. I don't mind the light coming on when I turn, but don't like one side coming on with the turn signal I'll just turn the fogs on if I need the light

I recall seeing there are 2 activation modes, haven't tried the other mode since the default functions like my VW's. Having the fogs come on when turning on dark roads out of the city is nice. Though I did find them more useful in the city on my Golf which had mediocre halogens.

ASS is off, no light at all unless I press the button. Did not effect battery management as I still get a variable charge rate depending on SOC. Don't care for the cornering lights all that much, absolutely love being able to turn off all of the chimes (except door open key in) as they were very annoying. Bambi mode, up'ed the charge to 90%, turned off the welcome/goodbye lighting, no enhanced engine sound, panic button to double press, and splash screen to rapter. Done....

Nope. I was the dyslexic one. I verified my number and you’re much closer than I was. ?
