FORScan Modifications

Guessing the minimum speed has to do with the ABS sensor resolution. Sometimes they don't have enough resolution to go lower than a certain speed reliably.

This came today... Now I just need the truck.

Interested in taking the FORScan plunge for my expected delivery of a 2020 SuperCab, can you recommend any blogs or forums on the subject please?
Visited the Forscan site, unfortunately it did now answer most of my questions, like which adapter to buy.
Thanks !

That elmconfig one from Amazon works great for me.

search the forum for "ELM" there's been several discussions. My wired adapter was like 8$ on Amazon.

The adapter was posted, but I found this youtube video very helpful:


It shows how to interface with FORScan - once you have figured that out, it is simply a matter of deciding what you want to change and finding where (what module) you need to make the change in. The newer versions of FORScan have a simpler method for some changes as well so you don't have to enter hex codes.

I just installed a Start-X remote start kit on my ‘19 STX with keyed ignition. I highly recommend this kit for anyone looking. Very quick and easy install and functions as advertised, unlike other kits out there.

Has anyone figured out the procedure to override the factory “auto” setting for the climate control when using remote start and get the vehicle to retain the “last setting” using Forscan?

With Forscan you can make the changes for the climate control w/remote start, I can confirm this works as I also had to make the change in my Ranger.

Enable/Change Factory Remote Start Dash Controls:
IPC 720-02-02 xxxx-XXxx
21 (Disabled)
AA (Enabled - Vehicle Without Heated Seats)
FD (Enabled w/Climate Control)
FE (Enabled w/Climate Control and Heated Steering Wheel)

Awesome. So, did you change yours to "FD" to get it to retain the "last setting" for the climate control?

I actually used AA. I believe FD is for vehicles with heated seats.

Has anyone attempted to change their intelligent blinker from the factory "3 blinks"? I got in to the SCCM today to attempt it using the F150 values and the Ranger sequence is different, so I backed out.

Yes it errors out

That looks like one of the codes that changes the Sync 3 splash screen. I have mine set to the Ford GT carbon theme because it looks nice and is darker. For those, you don't have to use the codes directly, as current versions of Forscan have it built into the editor so you can just click a dropdown and select it.

move been attempting to change my theme, when I write its restarts like usual before change but doesn’t change the theme. Stuck on the boo boo default theme. Any thoughts? Resolutions?

I have the GT theme, so I can say whatever procedure was posted worked because I'm not smart enough to come up with a new one myself. That said, I probably used the Forscan editor that has descriptive words in it rather than the As-Built editor with the hex codes.

I have a 19 Edge ST and 17 Mustang GT. I just updated both to the latest Sync v3 software from Ford's site and Ford removed most of the optional theme choices FYI.

ELM327 came today and it is a wifi version. Anybody know if that is the correct one? It seems on here everybody has a cable.
