2025 Must have Forscan Mods?

[rslilly76]

So I just used Forscan on my son's 22 and what I did was add a few drive modes, add cruise, added LKA, and added TSR

On my 25 hybrid so far I have added TSR, and removed all seatbelt chimes, and actually added lobo mode! LOL
What are your must have 2025 Forscan mods? I would like to know what else I should add or delete and I am kind of new to using Forscan.

I have used Techstream on Toyota a bunch, but this is the first using Forscan.

If it's a hybrid you need to set full time headlamps on (not DRL) or full time parking lamps on, or set headlamps switch to "retains previous setting".
(The default returns to "auto". )

You don't want auto.

why not auto? I like auto

and what you mean full time headlamps why do i want this full time
and full time parking lamps why do I want this full time?

Keeps your 12v battery healthy and long lasting.

Keep it auto and don't drive at night much and your 12v battery dies an early death. Weird, but true in these electrically complex vehicles.

"You don't want auto." WHY?

My Maverick was serviced yesterday by Ford and mechanic confirmed Mavster Mechanic's statement.

This thread clearly states 2022-2024, is this even an issue in 2025s? Auto is working just fine for me.

Probably not.
Ask @Mavster Mechanic
I was replying to Frenchy and trying to help him out. I have no idea what year Maverick Frenchy has or whether it applies. That's for him to decide.

Does Lobo mode give you errors after using it? IIRC another member here tried it and it would light up the CEL after a while.

I'd love to enable it if it really works ... "formerly called Sand mode" ... also Off-Road mode

25 Lariet Hybrid: reporting:
1) Global windows Open & Close from key fob.
2) seat belt chimes/reminders.
3) Eliminate Triple Ding at Startup.
4) Auto lock Initial Value Disable {Doesn't lock doors Every time you exit}.
5) Headlamps Position at Ignition - change to Last Known. FYI, I found Mavester Mechanic's finding about headlights On forcing much better 12V battery charging very interesting. On my 25MY I found zero change, headlights On or Off, monitoring with Car Scanner App, using his parameters. I assume it's a 22-24 MY thing? But Kudos to him for such great work & reporting. I'm betting it helps many of you afflicted with the 12v charging problem.

well most of this doesn't apply cause I'm XL but thanks

however mavster's findings are correct

If you're using car scanner pro you will see that SOC once you hit 92% the actual amps start going negative and discharges battery below 92% everytime
