FORScan Modifications

[WhiteBeastRangerNick]

Corrected my tire size today = Speedo is 100% confirmed with 2 independent GPS units.
Set my heated seat controls up on the touch screen. Also set the start up screen to "Ford Performance" the Cobra is a pretty cool look as it starts up !

How did you change it to do the Ford performance screen? Do you need the paid version of forescan?

Yes- a paid version allows you full programming access.

I got the the free Standard license for Forscan and was able to check out all 15 or so splash screens...even the Bronco. No need for the paid version except to help support the makers, which is a cool thing to do. I will be buying a 1 yr license soon.

Spent a few minutes today in Forscan.
I have 2019 Lariat 4WD (non-Fx4) so I made the following changes. Also have a few questions...

APIM Module
Splash screen change to RS

BdyCM Module
Corner light mode for fog lights enabled
Courtesy wipe enabled
Daytime running lights include park lamps enabled (is this Bambi Mode?)
double honk on leaving truck disabled
Fog lights on with high beams enabled
Panic alarm changed to double click
Rain sensor enabled (will this work if not part of 501A package?)

IPC MODULE
Auto Stop Start. Disabled
Selectable Drive mode enabled. (Terrain Mgmt)

Questions.... what do these do when enabled?
Intelligent Adaptative Cruise Control
Intelligent Speed Assistance
Launch Control (can I shoot misses if I enable this...)
TPMS by location feature (for rotating tires?)

i noticed today my “auto“ window feature for the drivers window does not work, either up or down. I tracked my changes and there was a start/stop feature in the APIM Module I disabled thinking it was the AS/S. It seemed to disable the AS/S. One drive it was off, next drive it was back on. I found the Auto Start Stop in the IPC Module and disabled it there. Went back to the APIM module and enabled the start/stop feature. Hoped it was the window but doesn’t appear to be so.
Any suggestions ?

Auto up/down window feature is done with just holding the window button. I forget the exact way to enable or disable but you either hold the button down or up for a certain amount of time. It is in the manual and has nothing to do with forscan. I accidently disabled mine and it drove me nuts for about a week. I finally asked the dealer and they chuckled and told me how to fix.

What does "Corner light mode for fog lights' do?

It turns on the fog light as you turn a corner, to help light up the way.

Ok, that's what I thought. Thanks.
Will have to do that one.

Quick question for you guys, I did some forscan modifications last night. Everything went great, but something new has popped up. When I start my 2020 XLT 4x4 now, a little menu pops up on my center screen on the cluster telling me what seatbelts are belted and I have to hit OK to make it go away.

I'm assuming I did this in the IPC config.

Changes I've made up to the point of noticing the seatbelt screen:
-Raptor splash
-Auto start stop disabled
-Fob double click for alarm
-DRL include parking lamps
-Disabled the 3 do do do's
-Enabled offroad screen/gauge
-Frost warning enabled

I do not recall writing any other changes and I do have a backup of all of my configs. Would like to know if anyone else has ran into this and if I can make a quick fix without re-doing things and hunting it down.

I have made some changes post this as well. Can always fall back but I'd prefer to just turn off this stupid little seatbelt popup.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the seatbelt popup warning is enabled/disabled in the regular vehicle menu on the dash (i.e., not by making changes with Forscan) At least, it is in my Lariat, under Settings -> Vehicle.

Excellent! Perhaps in my changes it enabled that feature that isn't usually on the XLT. I'll give that a shot thanks!

Update: I was not able to find anything on the truck itself

For those with Forscan and the Factory Tow Package, can you tell me what your setting is in APIM & IPC for Trailer? I installed the Factory/Redarc unit with the Factory Hitch. However, when I look at Forscan I see a few of the settings set to disable. Wondering if this is something the factory would have changed when factory installed, and something the dealer would be changing if they installed. They may only be for F-150's, etc., but I'm double checking.

Namely:
IPC / Trailer Tow Backup Assist = Disabled
IPC /Trailer Reverse Guidance=Disabled

APIM / Trailer Tow Backup Assist = Disabled
APIM /Trailer Reverse Guidance=Disabled

Feedback has been that these are functions NOT applicable to the Ranger.

Does it turn both fog lamps on in a turn ? Or only on the side towards the turn ?

Only the side you turn towards. I turned this on but find it very sensitive. Meaning I can slightly turn the wheel and the light is coming on. Bothers me more than I felt it was helping. Just my feelings on it though.
