FORScan Modifications

[micl9]

Unfortunately I like to live dangerously and did not make a back up! Sorry

Actually I was using the term for a save of your current Configs, but saving the As Built IPC and IPMA of your current settings not your original from the factory version. They save as .abt files. In Forscan open the IPC as built and once open select save all at the bottom. Repeat for IPMA

I was able to download my As-Built file from the Ford website as a .ab, would that help you Mike?

Got it, I can get that for you in the morning.

Are you running the latest Forscan version?

Hi, yes I have the last version

Spent the last 3+ hours changing every single hex digital that's not a checksum digit in the SCCM and not a single one affected the turn signal flash count. They completely changed the SCCM on the Ranger compared to every single other Ford out there. So, far everything I've looked at and compare follows almost a standard format except this truck. WTF were they thinking?

Personally I think it's because this was a non-NA vehicle before it came over here, and there was a lot of modeling (and probably part/engineering sharing) between them, so instead of being built from something like the F-150, it was a separate platform and done differently. Ultimately who knows, but it is a bit frustrating that all the information out there for F-150s and whatnot is...completely irrelevant to the Ranger.

There's no reason at all to completely change it only for the NA model. The international model is the same as the rest of them foreign and domestic.

There are quite a few items from the F-150 spreadsheets that apply to the Ranger - not all for sure, but it is definitely not NONE.

Yeah true, I don't mean it's none, but it's really significantly smaller than you'd think.

I did not know where to post this question...I've done my due diligence and searched high and low...so here is my question...
Does anyone have a screen shot of their BCM file configuration for turning on the position lights with the DRL's? I tied into the position lights with my raptor grille lights and am having trouble setting it up for some reason. I thought I had it figured out but....sadly no. I just want the positions on with the DRL's. Anyone that has tweaked these settings knows there are several items you can configure within the DRL light set up and it's somewhat confusing. I've done some experimenting but seem to get stuck in previous settings....TIA

Check the wiki for it, you should find your answer there.

There are a few different settings for DRL configurations, but for them to work you need to set "Allowed DRL Options" to "All Options". There is also a setting called "Daytime Running Lights includes Parklamps" that you may need to enable to get what you want. Your turn position lights was a bit confusing to me, do you mean parking lights? Parking lamps do include the tail lights which in my opinion is a bonus.

Thanks for the tutoring. I did mean parking lights. I enabled that and now I'm having trouble turning it off for some reason. I'm going to try the all options choice and see where it gets me.

Just remember to back up before making changes so you can restore to a setting you know works if a change messes things up. Backups are your friend.

I used Forscan for the 1st time this weekend... among all the little things I changed, the most important one by a long way was this:

I don't know if this is new to this release, but it definitely works and my subwoofer now sounds like it's supposed to.
