There are some sections of the Forscan software that require you to register like installing a new stereo that requires coding to the vehicle. It is totally worth it, just wish there was something that can tell me what all the modules do that come up. :)

Great video. My 2013 Ford Fusion has the abs light on, traction control, and brake light on. They popped up when the wiring harness for the engine coolant sensor broke and was fixed. I did a full brake job, checked that the wheel sensors all read the same with Forscan. Have zero dtcs on Forscan and cannot figure this problem out. If I engage the electronic parking brake the lights turn off tell the epb is disengaged. Would reseting the ABS module in Forscan be worth a try and would the module need to be recalibrated if reset with Forscan. Thanks for your time.

Great video, thanks for taking the time to record and upload it. Personally, I have had so much trouble with my Forscan diagnostic tool. And now when it finally was able to connect to the car, it takes several minutes before it happens. It writes "No connection" several times before it then finally connects after a long time. In addition there are many modules in my menu where it says something like "not available" or not able to read - and there are red exclamation marks. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my Forscan "unit" has a switch on the OBD-plug and that this is in the wrong position - I have to check that
