Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) FORScan mod (confirmed working)

[Dogcmp6]

If you are still having issues, package up your logs and send to the Forscan team. My experience is they come back with a fix in a couple days pretty consistently (and it will fix it for others too!)

I contacted them last night, and had a fix this morning!

Config 2 with Navigation system
IPMA
706-01-01
xxxx-xxDB-xxxxx
This will enable the system to also use the Nav system for posted speeds.
Note if you use this on a non Sync system you get a reduced performance error message and it won't scan signs at all.

Nav System? Are you confusing Co-Pilot 360 with Ford Nav? I was unaware that Ford Navigation was an option on any Maverick.

There is no Factory Nav option. But you can replace your factory unit with one that has OEM Nav yourself. Someone has done that on MTC. There is a thread about it.

I've noticed something interesting about traffic sign recognition. Every morning I drive past a specific 60 sign that the truck sees as 70. There is nothing unusual about the sign and to me looks identical to any other speed sign. I have looked for other signs it might have seen or anything like a branch in the way but I can't figure it out.

I have not seen it make a single other mistake, but it reads this one sign as 70 instead of 60 every single morning without fail.

Yep, pretty difficult to confuse that with 70! Weird.

@aspect Did you ever figure out how to change the signs from UK to US?

No, the IPMA module is used on other vehicles besides a Maverick. You just have to enable it accordingly to your setup.

Besides the sign issue check to see if you are set up for European signs.
Try this version of Forscan which should be the most current beta. These have an easy mode for the IPMA module which covers these TSR settings.

This mod will work in the standard configuration for all trims with the only possible exception being Lariats w/ Sync 3 installed. An alternate configuration will then be needed which is untested so far.

Tools need

Forscan software and a programming cable

tutorial assumes you already know how to program using forscan.

First we need to enable the TSR menu in the instrument cluster. This has been tested on the 4.2inch cluster and is untested but should work on 6inch instrument clusters.

There are 2 possible settings depending if you have trailer sway control option in the vehicle assistance.

IPC
720-03-02
xxCx-xxxx

use this to change your existing setting if you have the trailer sway control as an option.
If not try different values in place of C until you get the TSR menu and no option for trailer sway control.
edit
apparently trailer sway control is a standard feature so that is the correct setting for all trims

edit this code is needed to enable the chime alert option which makes an audible noise when you drive above the posted speed limit or set threshold to trigger a warning.
IPC
720-04-01
xxxx-xx*x-xxxx
change * to 4 to enable the chime setting

untested yet
changing * to C should also work and open up other chime settings.

Next we need to enable the image processing module to scan speed signs.

This works in 2 distinct configurations.
1a. No Sync & no nav system - tested and confirmed working
1b. Sync & no nav system - will only apply to Lariats w/Lux. package - untested

2. Sync & nav system - semi confirmed see below

Configuration 1 which most every Maverick owner will use only scans speed limit signs with the front facing camera.

Configuration 2 supplements the camera with posted speed limits from the nav system maps. This requires a different hex code than Config 1 and may also require modifications to the APIM module to fully work. This needs to be tested still.


Config 1 without Navigation system
IPMA
706-01-01
xxxx-xxD2-xxxxx

This enables the speed sign scanning processing in the image processing module

Config 2 with Navigation system
IPMA
706-01-01
xxxx-xxDB-xxxxx
This will enable the system to also use the Nav system for posted speeds.
Note if you use this on a non Sync system you get a reduced performance error message and it won't scan signs at all.

That is it and if you did everything correctly TSR which is undocumented on the Maverick thus far will be enabled and working correctly in the instrument cluster with no conflicts with other safety features.

There should also be added functionality to display the speed signs on the head units but that is not known if it will at this point and requires further testing.

I am new to reprogramming these modules so... I have read the As Built codes on my Mav and the ones you refer to are as Follows:
LABEL="706-01-01"><CODE>044D</CODE><CODE>58A9</CODE><CODE>F556</CODE>
change this to 044D 58D2 F556
LABEL="720-03-02"><CODE>C84C</CODE><CODE>0141</CODE><CODE
Change this to C8CC 0141
LABEL="720-04-01"><CODE>0203</CODE><CODE>0000</CODE><CODE>0031</CODE>
change this to 0203 0040 0031

And I should get the Traffic Sign Recognition and Speed Alerts?

In short yes but the last 2 digits in the codes are checksums i.e. xxxx-xxxx-xx** where the * is the checksum values. When you put in the changes it will give you a checksum error. That is okay to proceed since forscan will correct them before writing.

I just got my Lariat Lux last weekend and can try this out tomorrow afternoon, will report back.

 

[MustardTiger]

This works on my Lariat Lux as expected. I enabled the menu option and the part in the image processing module and drove past a speed limit sign to confirm. It is however displaying "UK Style" speed signs instead of US ones like someone else said. Its also showing the speed limit indicator in the chime settings menu km/h as well, so it may be related to that? I used D2 for the image processing module since I don't think I technically have nav, maybe I should try DB instead. Going from D2 to DB enables two extra bits though. Could try DA or D3 instead to see what difference those make.

 

[MustardTiger]

Does this adjust the adaptive cruise control speed on the Lariat Lux depending on the speed limit signs?

No, there is a whole lot more involved to potentially get that working. I tried to follow the same values I found on an escape thread to enable IACC but it just made an error message come up for the image processing module. I only have it reading speed limit signs and displaying them like this.
