FORScan 101 - Step-by-Step How to Start Guide

[RadioDoc]

I just got Forscan today and am ready to start poking around at the settings in my Hybrid Maverick (especially the traffic sign settings, it'd be nice to get that configured for the UK). Is there a master list that provides some context to what each of the settings in the modules are?

Not for the Maverick as yet. Lots of FORscan hacks for the F-150 but I don't know if they'd work on a different vehicle. I hope to jack into the OBD tomorrow and see what can be done...I'd like the TSR feature and a guy in Germany has disabled the seat belt 'nag screen' on his car, and it may work on the Maverick too. Good luck and don't forget to backup your stock configuration before tweaking anything! Keep us posted.

Well, went and pulled the AS BUILT backups, no issues. Played around with some settings, managed to get the Speed Sign Recognition up and running (and it worked with the UK signs, including the NSL sign), but now FORScan is saying it can't read the DTC for the RCM, and any attempt to get back into the AS BUILT to restore from the backup I made earlier is failing.

The nicest part is that you can save an image before any changes are made so you can roll them back. The biggest challenges are whether or not you have the components for a feature, and making sure you follow the correct steps. But again, even if that messes up, you can reload the original configuration and get back to stock pretty easily.

Is there a thread on how to write a saved profile back to the vehicle?

I haven't found one thats definite, but I did run across these steps:
From Configuration and Programming ->As-Built Configuration -> Load Factory AsBuilt
Please note that you need be connected to the internet to do this.
You can also FIle -> Open -> saved backup, then write back.

Thank you for your help!

So 2 years after the car has been out and there still isn't a master list of the hex codes to do different changes?

Lots of good Forscan "How to” info here. What it is, capabilities, and process steps to make changes. Though nothing specific for Maverick.

I’ve made many changes on my Super Duty.

I can't remember where I found this, but downloaded it just the same.

Trying to follow the guy in the video to register on forscan forum, and it says it requires an invite code?

I ran into that, too, and ignored it. Got Forscan working fine without registering.

Nice! Will come in handy, although I think I have everything tweaked the way I want it, but you never know what may come up...
