I have the cheaper toggle switch obd2 adapter. worked fine over the summer. I just decided i wanted to go back in and change some stuff. I updated my forscan to latest version . Now it won't read the DTC. Could it be possible it doesn't support that adapter now? seems weird.

Did you use a saved config when you started it up? I've had intermittent issues where it wouldn't read, but when I answered no to the "do you want to use this saved config" it worked fine. It takes a bit longer since it has to go thru all the modules again, but it has worked for me.

I am hoping to find someone with FORScan skills to make some adjustments to my 2020 Ranger. I have solid mechanical skills but I am not a technology guy and don't really want to spend the time to learn it. Wondering if I can hire someone to help me out. I live in Southern, CA (90503) so someone local to the Los Angeles area would be close. I will come to you. Let me know if there is someone can help me out with this. Thanks. -Chris

Should be mics around the cabin that listen and inform the ANC system on what signal to produce.
I messed with this and enabled all of the microphones (2021 Lariat) and man it jacked with incoming calls played over the stereo, it would make them cut in and out - like the noise cancelling was fighting the normal audio. It was so bad to the point I just turned it back to normal.

Anyone in North Carolina want to help a Newby install terrain management button and program on my 2020 xlt please. Lunch and brews on me...in the Triad area...
Sorry, I’m in Florida today, and my plane doesn’t stop in NC on the way back to the frozen north. Here’s a free extra bump though.
Do you have the computer and cables? Someone could help remotely if you verify them somehow first.

I'm in Wake Forest, and that will be quite a drive. I have installed the TM in my XLT. I'd be willing to assist you if can't find someone closer. I don't free up until late Feb.

what error are you getting?
It gave me an unable to identify vehicle error - I can't remember exactly. It says to enter the PCM part number. I read in a thread here, and a mustang forum I could get it out of the as builts. But that didn't work.

I'm using the more expensive of the two recommended adapters, on a windows 7 machine...

(I can read codes using a different ODBII Bluetooth adapter. Reminder, the Bluetooth adapter is not what I'm using to connect to the computer.)

I'd provide links, but they are on the computer and I'm on my phone now... :-/
