Unlocking Eco and Sport Mode & disabling double honk using FORScan (on my Maverick Lariat FX4 & 4K Package) [w/ updated video]

[Joshick91]

Updated 4/8/23:

I did another video today on how to unlock eco and sport mode along with disabling the double honk feature. I am aware that the previous video that I did had a bad glare on the screen so this one I hope is better. I own the Lariat with fx4 package and 4k towing package.




Original Post:

Good day everyone. I hope all of you had a great holiday weekend. Before thanksgiving, I went over to a friend's house (volknuts) who had the FORScan software. He gave me the run down and I was able to unlock eco and sport mode. Why ford decided to not include these modes, I have no idea.

Two things: Eco mode is a godsend and sport mode is really fun. I have been averaging around 28-30 mpg on my maverick driving on the street and highway has been between 31-34mpg. (with the off-road package and 4k towing).

I made a Youtube video detailing the process (see below). The FORScan software comes default with an easy mode which is great because you do not have to mess around with changing any codes. Just a few clicks and you will have the modes. I am researching some other various things that I would like to change or unlock and will post it in the future.

I was intimidated with the software and afraid of screwing something up in the truck settings. As long as you back up your stock files you are set to go. If I can do it, so can you.

I second this. I’m from Nor Cal and will pay to have someone add this to my Lariat. I will travel to make this happen, just PM me. Thanks to the OP for finding this out! I really want the sport mode. Question, did you lose any modes? Were you able to retain all modes from the fx4 and 4K and add the additional two modes?

Did you lose ABS? Otherwise, I am in Nor Cal and would be interested also.

Nice job! My Maverick is currently in transit to my dealer and I look forward to adding these modes when it shows up. My truck is almost identical to yours, except I got XLT Lux and yours is a Lariat.
