ForScan mod - enable all drive modes: eco, sport, mud and snow (confirmed working)

[Dogcmp6]

I did the Forscan adjustment to allow all 7 shift modes in my FX4 the other day.

Can I ask the coding you used to get all 7, the orginal post is unclear to me on how to enable all 7 modes

I was able to figure it out in easy mode....the sport mode makes the truck feel hella fast

My MPGs have gone down...a bit...since I enabled Sport and Eco on mine.

Leaving the engine running while playing with forscan also drops MPG a bit.

I got a 2011 f150. At least until my Maverick comes in. Ordered the cable. Originally I thought Bambi mode was a light version of forescan. Now I think it is when you turn your highbeams on, the foglights come on too. I will play around and research this more.

That’s right. I’ve always hated that my dogs cut off with high beams. I drive 96 miles to work at 5am on nothing but highway. I have to turn brights on 70% of the time with all the deer in southern Va.

I drove 75 miles one way. I hate those deer. I hit 4 deer with my 2013 Crz. The body shop laughed. The only part of that car that was never repainted was the roof. Before I wrecked it I actually never use the foglights on the f-150. Never new they turned off with highs on.

First disable the ABS drive mode.
ABS
760-04-01
xxxx-xxxx-x*xx
change * to 0 to disable the ABS drive mode selector. Those x values vary across different builds so leave them as defaulted for your vehicle.
Now you can select all 4 package specific drive modes. Next is to make them visible in the cluster.

This make all the drive modes visible so you can select them.
ABS
760-04-03
0000 0001 EB5A
This makes all 4 package modes visible in the cluster - eco, sport, mud and snow. This code is universal across all builds.

So, has anyone determined if this adds any value to FWD vehicles, especially the hybrid? And would snow mode add anything over using "slippery," and turning off traction control?

the easy setup screen works perfectly for this on my truck (details in signature).
i got all the drive modes enabled and tested the "new" eco and sport modes to make sure they worked. im surprised by the difference between sport and eco modes. the balance shifts far more heavily to the rear wheels, and the engine is kept at a much higher rpm range while in sport mode.

Procedure

1: did a backup of every single module available.
2: entered the ABS module
3: changed SDM - ABS to disabled
4: changed each drive mode to enabled
5: clicked write
6: waited until forscan was done and followed the instruction to cycle my ignition.
7: unplugged the laptop and turned on the engine for a test drive

thanks so much to those who worked to find these settings!
now im going to explore everything else that has been discovered.

Glad my post helped you out. I think forscan updated the easy mode and it made this super easy to do. The first post talking about changing specific numbers is the hard mode, but also means you actually know what you are changing.

I just did it today with easy mode and it took about 5 min.

I also added sport and eco on my lariat fx4. Easy mode worked perfect and sport mode is fun.
