chromefox60 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 I have a 2020 Edge ST and was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to have the fogs act as cornering lights using Forscan. Also if it's possible to add the fuel range on the right hand screen in the gauge cluster like in the '23 Edges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 I am not sure if anyone tried it on an Edge, but I'd guess the fog lights acting as "cornering lights" should work. You can try the changes as per the 2015-2020 F-150 sheet. For the Fuel range on the right screen, I fairly confident it is not easily done. If it is possible, it will at least involve a firmware upgrade. You'll first need to check if the hardware is the same, then find the firware files for a new Edge ST and flash it on your 2020 ST.

Haz Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) From the 2020 Edge Workshop Manual... Moving your device cursor over capitalized acronyms should yield an onscreen full-word description. Fog Lamps System Diagram Fog Lamps The front fog lamps can be turned on when the ignition is in ON, by placing the headlamp switch in any position except OFF and pressing the front fog lamp switch. The BCM monitors the headlamp switch position by sending voltage signals on multiple circuits to the headlamp switch. There is one circuit for each headlamp switch position. At any given time, one of the signal circuits is switched to ground to indicate the headlamp switch position. When the BCM receives input from the headlamp switch indicating a request for the front fog lamps, the BCM provides voltage to the front fog lamps. The BCM also provides an Field Effect Transistor (FET) protection of the fog lamp output circuits. When an excessive current draw is detected, the BCM disables the fog lamp output circuit drivers. Fog Lamps Wiring Diagram Turn Signal and Hazard Lamps System Diagram Network Message Chart BCM Network Input Messages Broadcast Message Originating Module Message Purpose Turn signal switch status SCCM Indicates the turn signal stalk position on the LH steering column multifunction switch (left/right lane change or turn signal on or off). The BCM activates the left/right turn signals based on this input. DDM and PDM Network Input Messages Broadcast Message Originating Module Message Purpose Turn indication request BCM A command to the DDM or PDM to activate/deactivate the exterior mirror turn indicator. Turn Signals The SCCM monitors the LH steering column multifunction switch position. When the LH steering column multifunction switch is in the LH TURN or RH TURN position, the SCCM sends a message over the HS-CAN2 to the GWM then the GWM sends the message to the BCM over the HS-CAN1 indicating a request for the LH or RH turn signal. For high series headlamp turn lamps and all rear turn lamps, when the BCM receives a request for a turn signal, the BCM supplies on/off voltage to the appropriate turn lamp Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The turn lamps are Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and have an outage circuit that tells the BCM when the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are inoperative. During normal operation, when voltage is applied to the turn Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), the feedback circuit sends the same voltage back to the BCM through the outage circuit. If the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are inoperative the BCM will not receive this voltage feedback through the outage circuit. When the BCM receives a request for a turn signal, the BCM sends a turn indicator command message over the HS-CAN1 to the GWM then the MS-CAN to the door modules for the exterior mirror turn lamps. When the BCM receives a request for a turn signal, the BCM supplies on/off voltage to the appropriate turn lamps. If a front or rear turn signal lamp is inoperative, the IPC turn lamp indicator fast flashes at approximately 150 times per minute to indicate a bulb outage to the driver (the exterior turn lamps will still flash at approximately 70 times per minute). The BCM also provides Field Effect Transistor (FET) protection of the turn lamp output circuits. When an excessive current draw is detected, the BCM disables the affected turn lamp circuit driver. Good luck! Edited March 6, 2023 by Haz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) The following newly released Special Service Message describes factory-installed cornering capability of fog lamps on 2021-2022 Bronco Sport and 2021-2023 F-150... SSM 51428 2021-2022 Bronco Sport And 2021-2023 F150 - Cornering Lamps Feature Operation On 2021-2022 Bronco Sport and 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles, the cornering function in the fog lamp illuminates the inside of a corner when turning the steering wheel. If the steering wheel is slightly turned left or right with the headlamp switch on, the cornering function will activate. The fog light will be activated in the direction the steering wheel is positioned, even if fog light switch is off. This is an operating characteristic to improve customer visibility while turning. Do not attempt diagnosis or repairs or submit a claim for this condition. This function is independent of fog lamp operation. During pre-delivery inspection (PDI) fog lamp proper function verification, make sure steering wheel is positioned straight forward to cancel the cornering lamp function. Description of the cornering lamps feature in the 2022 Bronco Sport Workshop Manual is fairly brief... Cornering Lamps The fog lamps have a cornering function in which under certain conditions and inputs either lamp might turn on or off independently to aid visibility during cornering. The cornering lamps illuminate the inside of a corner when turning the steering wheel. If the steering wheel is slightly turned left or right with the headlamp switch on, cornering function will activate. The fog light will be activated in the direction the steering wheel is positioned, even if fog light switch is off. This is an operating characteristic to improve customer visibility while turning. This function is independent of fog lamp operation. Description in the 2021 F-150 Workshop Manual is more substantial... Cornering Lamps - Except Electric Vehicles The fog lamps have a cornering function in which under certain conditions and inputs either lamp might turn on or off independently to aid visibility during cornering. The cornering lamps illuminate the inside of a corner when turning the steering wheel or if a turn signal is active. If the steering wheel is slightly turned left or right with the headlamp switch on, cornering function will activate. The fog light will be activated in the direction the steering wheel is positioned, even if fog light switch is off. This is an operating characteristic to improve customer visibility while turning. This function is independent of fog lamp operation. The front corning lamps will illuminate when the following conditions are met: The vehicle is running The headlamp low or high beams are on (except as a feature of the DRL ) The vehicle speed is less than 40 km/h (25 mph) (if the vehicle exceeds 40 km/h (25 mph), vehicle speed must drop below 36 km/h (22 mph) to re-enable the cornering lamps) The turn signal is activated or the steering wheel is turned more than 35 degrees. The front corning lamps will turn off when the following conditions are met: The vehicle is not running The headlamps are off The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph) The turn signal is deactivated or the steering wheel angle is more than 35 degrees then the steering wheel angle is less than 25 degrees. So, while I first thought fog lamp cornering illumination would only be triggered by turn signal operation, the factory function also employs Steering Wheel Position Sensor data to secondarily trigger the feature. The 2020 Edge Workshop Manual offers this description of that component... Steering Wheel Rotation Sensor On vehicles equipped with active park assist, the steering wheel rotation sensor is connected to the SCCM . The steering wheel rotation speed, angle and direction of travel is derived based on the position of the steering wheel position sensor and is sent to the ABS module over the HS-CAN2 . On vehicles not equipped with active park assist, information from the wheel speed sensors, PSCM and RCM are used by the ABS module to determine steering wheel angle when the vehicle is driven after initial start up. The ABS module uses the information received to calculate the steering center and save the information in memory. Then, using the information provided from the PSCM along with the saved center data, the ABS module determines the steering angle. The ABS module must re-learn the steering center whenever power is lost, for example during service when the battery is disconnected. To re-learn the steering center, the vehicle must be driven over 20 km/h (12 mph) for at least 1 minute on a fairly straight road. Good luck!
