Comprehensive List of Possible Forscan Mods?

I agree it's odd that the DRL turns off when the turn signal is on. I know that most vehicles do it, but makes no sense why. Would like to change that too if the info becomes available. Looked at several spreadsheets with FORScan mods and can't pin it down.

 

I think there is a regulation dictating that in case the DRL is close to the turn signal it should turn off when the signal is on. 

Also, it can be changed in ForScan:

726-26-02    xxx*    xxxx    xxxx

DRL Switchback w/Turn Signal: 0=disable, 1=enable

Yeah I just assume it turns the DRL off so people notice the signal being activated.  You know for the stupid people to be able to realize you really are signalling.

Thank you omar302, that worked on my 2019 Edge Titanium with 301pkg.

 

UPDATE April 11;  After first making the code change checked and signal was working without turning off DRL. Now checking again this is not so. Weird, not sure what happened but will investigate and post.

In some cars you really can't see the signals with their very bright DRLs. Where I live there are no strict regulations, and hence many of those vehicles that have the DRLs turn off in the state remain on here, also some with the "Audi style" sequential signal and in daytime it is really hard notice the front turn signals from a reasonable distance.

I have the 2019 ST and have read this topic and may have missed it.  Has anyone been able to disable the piped in exhaust tone to the cabin when selecting sport mode.  To me it just sounds fake and I have removed the resonator and put in a X pipe to get more tone, but leaving the stock muffler.  

 

If if you have, would you mind posting what you did?

 

Thanks

I have tried, not sure if it worked. Here is the FORScan details. Note: also disable active noise control (so I've been told). I tried to record audio of this setting (On vs Off) but wasn't able to tell the difference.

 

My AsBuilt: 

727-01-01

10A0

9200

0072

 

727-01-01

10A0

9200

0072

 so the 2 needs to be a 0.

 

AMC

 

 

727-01-01 (2013+ MY)

xxxx xXxx xxxx

 

(ACM)

Disabled:

Note: Only binary options are 8+4+2+1. Thus if this hex bit already is a 1,4,8,9,C,D then it is disabled from factory

 

Subtract a 2 from existing value at X.

 

 

Example: A-2=8

 

 

Enabled (Default):

 

 

Use original value for this bit (thus add 2 from currently enabled value)

Hello everyone! I've started having some fun with Forscan on both my '11 Edge Limited and '13 Lincoln MKX. 

There are some things I wonder if I can change using FORScan.

 

On the Edge:

Disable door ajar warning for the driver side rather than do any physical modifications or costly repair

 

I installed switchbacks on the front turn signals, is there a way to have them always come on (solid white) when the headlights are off but the knob is on auto?

 

Seeing how I deliver packages for Amazon, is there a way for the doors to auto lock after I close the door to make a delivery?

 

On the MKX:

If possible, allow fog lights to function as DRL's

 

On both:

Is there a way to force Sync 2 to auto start on the Navigation screen? On our previous Sync 1 MKS it had the split view with the map always on the left side of the screen.

 

Is there a way to default to Bluetooth rather than default to AM/FM radio?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thought I would follow up and see if anyone has been able to turn the piped in exhaust sound off in their 19.  I see a member has given it a try with Forscan, but did not seem to make a difference.  I have asked a dealer to send a request to Ford to see if it is possible. They tell me they are working on it, not really sure if that is the case.   I called Ford’s customer service and was told a owner is not allowed to request that kind of info from Ford.  

Thanks

Does any one know the Forscan code to disable the Auto Start Stop feature on a 2018 Edge.    Can't find it anywhere.  It appears it is 726-48-02 on a F150

 

Thanks

The 2018 Edge has no Auto start-stop feature.

"Can't find it anywhere"??

Thanks TK,  I saw that after I posted.   That Edge is 2019 but I am hoping it uses the same code as the 2018.  I am gonna try it and then I will post and confirm it here.

 

Thanks

Hi Edge owners,

 

I'm a complete newbie (got my Edge Monday).  I've searched this thread and others on the forum but can't find a solution to my pesky little problem.  Hopefully one of the more experienced hands can point me in the right direction.

 

I want to turn off the horn honk when I leave the car with the fob (I'm fiddling and cleaning right now and keep walking away with the fob :(  I also want to modify the lane change mode from stock 3 blinks to six just because I live in an area with a lot of older drivers (I'm one of them) who need more than 3 blinks to realize something's afoot. 

 

Thanks to assorted posts here I've found the code changes (thanks to all for those) but in FORScan I can't see (SCCM) at all (screen grab below)  nor can I see any 724 xxx codes, all I get is 726 xxx.  Toggling the horn and modifying the lane change setup apparently requires finding both missing items


This is a 2016 3.5L TI using OBDLink LX bluetooth OBD reader (I know MX is recommended but I already have the other...maybe that's the problem?)

I'd sure appreciate a solution (even a suggestion) to help solve this problem.

BTW, to the method for cancelling auto stop/start, I actually have that in one of the car's menus (Settings/Vehicle/Auto Stop).  Check or uncheck to turn on/off.  Maybe that doesn't appear in all models, I dunno but work taking a look.

Cheers!

i did these on my 2016 Ti 3.5 AWD:

 

Turn Signal Flashes

Change number of turn signal flashes on a quick tap of the stalk from the default of 3.

 

(SCCM)   724-01-01 xxxx xXxx xx
  
0 = One Flash    4 = Two Flashes 6 = Three Flashes - (Default  C02D 0600 xx ORIGINAL)
8 = Four Flashes   A = Five Flashes C = Six Flashes   E = Seven Flashes

Door Close Double Horn Honk

(Engine Running Without Keyfob Detected (PTS)):
BdyCM 726-41-02 (2014+ MY) xxxX xxxx xxxx
1 (Enabled - Default)
0 (Disabled)

It is probably due to the limitations of the OBDLink LX. It cannot access MS-CAN and hence would not see the modules working on MS-CAN, also there are newer HS-CAN2 & HS-CAN3 which i am not sure if the LX can see. The SCCM is on MS-CAN so you won't be able to change that, but for the Double Horn Honk just follow @ben senise post above.

Ben and Omar, thank you!

 

That was exactly the information I was looking for (however disappointing).  Now that I know my LX code reader isn't up to the task I've ordered a wired version (as recommended earlier in this thread) from Amazon. 

 

You guys rock!

It is not about the wired vs. not wired. The MX is better, considered the best for such things. Even the wired readers don't necessarily read all protocols. They would require a switch to allow it to read MS-CAN.  Also the OBDLink SX (the wired version) from them can't read MS-CAN.

This worked, but the signature lights dim way down when the turn signal is on.  Do you know if there is a setting so the signature lights keep their intensity?
