FORScan Modifications

[Langwilliams]

Ok Lang, I did get the off road gauge to work. You do have to enable it in Forscan. There are 4 things to enable it. The gauge is in the driver menu on the left side of my dash on the Lariat.

I may have enabled it an forgotten about it. The only four wheeling I do is across a muddy field or through some snow now an then.

Just played with forscan for the first time. Enabled bambi mode, got rid of the double honk when exiting, disabled fake engine noise and lastly upped the battery charge level to 90%

I couldn't figure out how to up the battery charge level? Could you possibly help me out?

Thanks,

It was in the body control module

Question about the Offroad gauges. I have an FX4 with Terrain management my offroad screen only shows roll/pitch steering angle. Are there more options to enable with Forscan ?

No, you just need to scroll through the other gauges like you'd do any of the other screens like Trip 1/2 and Fuel Economy. It's not very intuitive at first.

So this is only screen? Can't scroll to anything but this

Here are the screens that are available.

Press the TM Button on the 4WD selector and it will cycle through the modes with each press

Use Left Steering wheel switch and scroll down to view this screen.

This screen is enabled with Forscan (Intelligent 4WD Gauge), I think it only works with Trail Management and or E-Locker, I'm not sure, my non-FX-4 will display this screen but is useless as it's supposed to show indivudual power output to the wheels. But FX-4 should display properly.

I do have a question for you, just a curiosity question, I have an Autel scanner and Forscan but neither will display the actual PID Battery SOC, does IDS display that PID for the Ranger like it does on the F-150?
I am just wandering if the PID is available or just not programed withing the BCM like the F-150 and other platforms are.

Ok I have the first two screens pictured, I will look into enabling the intelligent 4wd screen.

As for the battery pid i will check fdrs next time I have the truck in

Thanks for the help!

This is cool and I want it!

So yes FDRS does show battery soc see the attached screen shot for all the battery pids.

I did get the power distribution screen to show up but doesn't work no big deal.

OK, thanks, all I can get to display is battery voltage, temp and amp along with the other related PID's, but I was just curious if I could get the SOC, Since I know it is an available PID, I just need the correct software or scan tool to do it. No big deal as just have to convert the voltage over to the SOC chart.

As far as the power distribution screen I am not sure what has to be installed (E-Locker) or (Trail Managment) (Trail Control) for it to display actual power at the wheels, I set it up to display, but took it back off as it served no purpose for my set-up and I would likely never use it anyway.

I have the rear diff electric locker and terrain management so who knows. Maybe a tremor only thing dunno. I will disable it tomorrow.

I don't know exactly what it is, but it's at least an FX4 or tremor only thing, I don't think anyone has yet to figure out exactly what provides that data to the system but even if you add a TM knob and enable the screens in the dash, something is missing.
