Full digital gauge cluster from Ford Escape swap into Maverick

[Azmig88]

Just to confirm - that Explorer ST cluster is for an Ecoboost, right? Won't work in a hybrid Mav?

For a hybrid... was/is a hybrid Explorer ST made?

I know it works in an Ecoboost. I know nothing about Hybrids. It may or may not work. Sorry

There are some trims of the Explorer Hybrid that have a digital dash.

Just noticed after a drive my trip summary (shows up after stopping ) shows 0.0mpg I am wondering if this is a know issue or something I missed when doing the swap?


In forscan the cluster was set in non-hybrid gas only. Swapped to FHEV and all the screens I wanted are now available.

I could kiss you right now!! Drive modes are working.

Can you do me a favor? I'm swapping in a new cluster and on the newest forscan it has a ton of drive modes. And going by your spec list I lost everything but eco and sport

Are you running the newest forscan? Can you post what your readings show ?

no tow/haul mode as that interprets it’s as normal mode.

it does kick me out of deep snow/sand mode and gives Me drive mode not available on the cluster.

what’s works and how it’s correctly portrayed on the cluster:

normal
Eco
Sport
Slippery

what does not work:

Deep Snow/sand (once you drive a couple feet it gives the drive mode not available)

What doesn’t exist on the cluster:
Tow/haul
Mud

I will play around with it more on Sunday and write something up. I need to load my factory As Built and get rid of all changes I made to start a good baseline of all forscan mods that have worked.

But we have working drive modes!

Next is to get my Traction control button to work and the Intelligent AWD drive screen. Hopefully by looking at livnitup’s F150 spreadsheet I can maybe see what drive modes I should enable in As Built mode.

Any luck on the new updated forscan modes?

Sorry for the thread bump, I found out it's not my cluster or forscan version that has changed but ford flashed my PCM on the last service. I'm showing 31 different unnamed drive modes.

Anyone have a newer maverick or newer flash for recalls able to read what drive mode is slippery ? I only have normal, eco sport and sand

Youre amazing thank you

I just now got the time to add the ones you posted. When I enable ruts. It doesn't do anything. It actually goes all the way to sport but the next mode glitches and it goes to normal. When I disable ruts it works.

I have.
Normal
Slip
Eco
Sport
Sand.

Are there any others I can enable ?

Got my 23 escape cluster installed and working today. Pretty much the same as the others. Drive modes work but look different when changing like I can't get animations to show up or something. Maybe someone in here has some insight

quick update here:

So all available drive modes that exist on the digital cluster now work with no issues. I still can't get the traction control button to work since that is part of a different switch pack on the escape, so no fix there. The Intelligent AWD screen also doesn't exist on this cluster so until they add it in the Escape we won't have it on this cluster. Maybe an a software update down the road since in the Escape forums they are missing this and it shows up in the User manual for the Escape.

In forscan using the plain text configuration option for the IPC, you will have to enable/disable a couple things. Unfortunately, the escape does not support Mud mode and Tow/haul drive modes so we will be losing those 2 with this cluster. The Escape people have been using sport mode for hauling then switching to a normal mode for long straight drives. I have a feeling that we might be able to load the firmware from the explorer and/or other vehicles that use this visteon digital dash, but I haven't gone down that path yet since I don't want to brick my fully working cluster. Working on getting another cluster to play with firmwares.

See below for the good stuff. Each mode displayed works exactly as before the cluster swap.

Forscan Easymode(Plain text) Changes

-ABS Module Configuration-

Disabled:

SDM - ABS
SDM - Mode 5 (Mud)
SDM - Mode 6 (Normal)

Enabled:

SDM - EPAS
SDM - Mode 11 (Sport)
SDM - Mode 12 (Tow/Haul)
SDM - Mode 4 (Sand)
SDM - Mode 7 (Slippery)
SDM - Mode 9 (Eco)


What’s works and how it’s correctly portrayed on the cluster:

Deep snow/sand

As I mentioned a couple post above this one, the Escape digital IPC translates some of these modes differently, I haven't sat down to see which mode is what on this cluster, but I plan to soon since looking at the 2021-22 F150 spreadsheet, there are some other drive modes that can be enabled through the as-built programming as opposed to the Easy mode(plain text) mode. I want to try those to see what happens since those come with a digital IPC as well. I really do think it's the firmware though.

I've tried everything I can't get mine to switch drive modes. I'm stuck in

no tow/haul mode as that interprets it’s as normal mode.

it does kick me out of deep snow/sand mode and gives Me drive mode not available on the cluster.

Can you share a picture of the different drive modes that you selected on the ABS module?
