FORScan Modifications

[Gizmokid2005]

looking for tire size setting is it on the spread sheet ?

You can modify the tire size directly in the GUI now. I have had mixed results with using that over using the forscan tire size calculator and editing the HEX manually.

Since I couldn't find the circumference for my actual tire size I plugged in generic circumference and drove by one of those signs that tell you your speed. It was a bit high. So I divided the numbers and got a percentage to multiply the original number. Used that and it's dead on on the second try.

I like your process, but choice of tools (the radar speed sign) may be questionable as to its accuracy.
I was going to suggest GPS, but same question would apply. But would be interesting for you to compare.

I drive by several in different cities and they all match up. So, unless they're all wrong in the exact same way I'm good.

I set mine based on the spreadsheet calculations, manually adjusting the hex.

I then confirmed with my dedicated GPS receiver that I compared my speedo to the recognized GPS speed to, within ~0.25-0.5mph variance which is acceptable to me. I 0% trust those speed signs, they're typically not nearly as accurate.

I would be interested to see if that works on the Ranger, too. If nobody else tries it, I may give it a go in the next week or so.

Hello,

Has anyone successfully enabled the Off-Road screen in an European Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 and have the ANGLES working? I have enabled it via Forscan :

Off Road Gauge	Enables Off-road gauges (enable in conjunction with Off-road Screen)	IPC		Gizmokid2005
Off-road Screen	Enables off-road gauges (enable in conjunction with Off Road Gauge)	IPC	720-07-02 (x3xx xxxx xxxx)	Gizmokid2005 / WhiteLightning19 (AS-BUILT)

but as you can see in the picture, NO ANGLES are displayed - only the steering angle and diff lock icon (if turned on) :\

Do I also need the Terrain Management knob or any other sensors for this to start working?

Many thanks for your help and greetings from Slovenia.

I would say that the angles come from airbag or ESP control unit. The knob is only for selection.

I'm not sure where the angles come from, but I do know that the TM knob is not required for them to work. My angles worked before and after I purchased and installed a TM knob in my truck.

Yeah...I'm not too worried. There is a way to use your VIN to get that as built for your vehicle. I'm more worried/scared of my wife and how mad she will be...lol. I can hear it now..."What do you mean..Uh Oh???"

Old thread, but I just did the install and swap as well, same issue on mine when trying to write miles is cancels at 2%... battery was reading .4 less then it should, so maybe I gotta have it full charged. Swapped the steering switch to lariat as well to try and coordinate with the speedo, now trying to get the as built for a lariat SCCM to see what differs from theirs to mine. Ima order that OBD you got too, mine is the older one that has a switch lol

 

[Allen_rubin]

You can add miles but not reverse them, that’s why you get a cluster with less miles

 

[Allen_rubin]

Whether your honest or not if you don’troll them forward the BCM will always have the correct miles

Has anyone tried enabling the "Turbo Boost Gauge" option in the IPC module?

It's been mentioned a few times in the past that it does nothing, sadly.
