Forscan Issues and how to's

Recommended Posts

2011 Edge Ltd - I changed the blink count in the turn signal duration from 3 to 5 (SCCM  724-01-01 7 to 'B' in Forscan). When I went to write it back to the SCCM, it said there is a checksum error - continue?  First time I said no and tried a different value ('A') but the same thing. I wrote it anyway assuming Forscan would calculate the checksum before writing it. As soon as I switched off then on, I had a TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE REQUIRED notice on the display panel. The two idiot lights for traction control and traction control off were lit.  

I refreshed the connection to OBD and looked at DTC's and the ABS module had both a checksum DTC and an 'unknown value' codes set. I put my As built data back in the SCCM and cleared the ABS code and it was gone.  Has anyone run into this error?

@Gadgetjq 

Someone mentioned in another topic that they found an Edge specific list of mods but I have not heard back on my request on where they found it. I am using a spreadsheet that lists 2011-2015 Explorer, plus any items I find looking through these posts.

I did manage to fix it properly. When the DTCs set, it also turned the idiot lights on and even after I restored the Asbuilt data, they were still on. It made me a little nervous but resetting the DTCs solved it. So I redid the blink rate and when the DTCs showed up, I simply reset them. Now I have it set to 5 blinks which feels about right.  

 

Have not been able to get Global Window open/close to work though. I have the smart motors, but not sure if only the MKZ can do it but not the Edge that year.

Thanks for getting back to me.

@2Fast4U - what Gadgetjq said.

Looks like a C or a D will give you 6 flashes. Unfortunately, I don't know what the difference in the bits will do (C=1100, D=1101) so you may have to try both to see.

 

Unlike normal turn signal levers, the 2011-2014 Edge & 2011-2015 Explorers (and corresponding Lincoln models, maybe some years of the Taurus/MKS too, not sure) had a turn signal level that when pushing to signal would still return to the middle position (the lever would not remain up or down), but the signal would flash until a turn is made or the lever is moved again. That is why you have 2 settings for ABD for each number of flashes. This post from the F-150 Forum has better explanation.

This is taken from the Ford F150 spreadsheet and works on the 2015+ Edge

0=1 flash & OUC false 8=4 flashes & OUC false
1=1 flash & OUC true 9=4 flashes & OUC true
2=1 flash & OUC false A=5 flashes & OUC false
3=1 flash & OUC true B=5 flashes & OUC true
4=2 flashes & OUC false C=6 flashes & OUC false
5=2 flashes & OUC true D=6 flashes & OUC true
6=3 flashes & OUC false E=7 flashes & OUC false
