ForScan Mod: Enable Off-Road Screen on 6.5" Display (Confirmed Working)

[Dallas Maverick]

I figured this one out the other day.

It's a simple mod, but I wanted to contribute it to the community anyway.

6.5" Screens: IPC 720-07-02 X7XX-XX

That's it. There isn't an easy mode switch for this one that I was able to find.
I tracked this down by comparing the AS-BUILT of an FX4 Lariat Lux against my own.

I can confirm this works on my Lariat Lux Hybrid, see below.

[EDIT] 6/16: Right now, it looks like you need to have the 6.5" display. @Maverick2022XL tried it on his 4.2" and it didn't work.

Confirmed Models:
Lariat Lux Hybrid - @Dallas Maverick
Lariat EB AWD - @Nighowl2000

I got the mud and sand mode to come up on my hybrid but it still doesn't give me four wheel drive
Thanks for posting this. Any new forscan codes that work are appreciated.

AWD can be enabled the easy way in FORScan. However, if you've swapped to the all digital Escape cluster you lose seeing this on the cluster. From what I can tell...what the OP shared today about the off road doesn't work withthe Escape digital cluster. (I'll keep testing however)
If youhave just the oe cluster you're golden.

That seems cool but what are the advantages of that?

Very nice OP!

Does it function? Have you tried going up a steep or off camber trail to test it?

 

[hungliketictacs]

Curious if this would work in a lower trim like an XL! Very cool!

It does, the pics are in the original post.

If you look at my pic, I’m at a 22 degree pitch. It definitely works.

Here is another one with a few more angles in it.

I don’t see why not. I know the smaller screen can still do it. Would love to have some other people confirm it on their own builds.

Just info. Some people like the extra detail. I’m one of those people.

That’s funny. I got the AWD screen to come up, but it didn’t display the power at the wheels. I assume it’s because I don’t have AWD.

Pages 124-125 of the Escape Owners manual list the screen options for the 6.5 and the 12.3 display clusters. Off-road is one of the listed screens. There may be hope yet!
