Forscan - How To View Live Data

In this video we shall be demonstrating how to view live data data using Forscan.
Forscan ELM327 Lead - amzn.to/30ZmaJN
#forscan #usingforscan #forscanguide
There are many OBD2 scanners, but does the FORScan somehow differ? Yes, because it is designed especially for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. So supports specific features of the manufacturer protocols, making the FORScan more powerful in work with these models than any regular OBD2 scanner.
For example, FORScan can detect modules which are not visible for regular OBD2 scanners, can show you trouble codes which are never displayed by OBD2 scanners, can show you PIDs which are not supported by any OBD2 scanner, run specific tests and service procedures. In other words, FORScan can do things that regular OBD2 scanners can not do.

Said it before, and I’ll say it again, thanks for these videos Steve.

[@caseywojciechowski2830]

Thanks for putting these videos out they are a great help!

[@SYDiagnostics]

Happy to help!

[@kevvyg04]

Just come across this, Im about to start my own diagnosis on the Mondeo 🤓 today, very helpful, thanks

[@zaneslocombe8008]

Battery maintainer? Phew! Thought you were going to say '...cat!'. Great videos, directly informative, no padding, just what we need to know. If I lived near Grimsby, our vehicles would be in your shop.

[@jamesgillies3710]

Thank you Steve great job on the videos. Very needed information

[@gordon295]

Super nice video !! Thank you very much for your time and effort.

Thank you. Very helpful video.

[@JamesJohnson-em9pc]

Thanks for the video, it helped me understand how to use this function!!

[@SYDiagnostics]

thankyou.....i have more than this one

[@DR-xv8ps]

Thanks again, very well done. I learned a lot and will be back to review the video when I start to use that function. So sorry, those battery maintainers are sure expensive, I hope it's still functional.

[@SYDiagnostics]

It survived ...thanks for the comments

[@caseywojciechowski2830]

Thanks again for the videos

[@stevebayliss4597]

Great. I'll see if I can find a problem with my throttle position sensor. Engine packs up at random speeds when accelerating slightly harder.

[@RGD-Repairs]

in the "select PID's" menu... what do i have to activate, to check if my boost solenoid is working correctly on my focus 1.6 tdci? Im getting underboost EML, But turbo is fairly new, No splits in boost hoses. When engine is cold, i get full power, But as engine warms up, I get less boost and power, (which i believe is because the boost solenoid is bolted to back of engine) But i dont know exactly what PID i need to live data check on.. Thanks

[@gabrielmango3775]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, A QUESTION, I cant see the IPMA module (only see "AS BUILT FORMAT") FORD RANGER 3.2 2020, I LIKE CHANGE THE TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION TO "CAMERA ONLY ON" , then need de codes in hexa, where can get it? thanks in advance, gabriel de Bs As Argentina

Can it be used to check the turbo is working, I am a newb with a galaxy 2ltr tdi goes in to limp mode after few hundred yards but resets when ignition turned off thanks

[@paulelscey2465]

Hi I have got it up running ok the have actual and expected data to compare

[@andrewgoodall2183]

I bought Forscan Lite as I don't have a Win10 laptop (but have several desktops, frustratingly - they won't go in the car! :D ). I'm having very occasional misfires - over the course of a 45 min urban drive to work I get 3 or 4, always at low revs when applying throttle when pulling away or shifting coming off a roundabout. I was hoping for "Mode 6" per cylinder misfire information but that doesn't seem to be a thing, all I can go on is the "Number of misfires" value. This actually sits at 25450 something and increasing, but I've only had the car a few weeks so I just assume this is all the misfires it's had over its lifetime. Any thoughts?

[@steveguest8028]

So easy to use compared to IDS/FDRS this is, tbh its my go too programme at work

[@AbbottAutomotive]

There's some really useful tips there Steve, great work and video 👍🏻 P.S. I hope the battery maintainer is OK.

[@SYDiagnostics]

Thanks Dave, yes, it survived to work another day

[@al-6988]

Great🎉🎉 It s possible to do a records if you are alone in the vehicule?

[@KebabEater]

So can this be used to tell me which door my car is showing as open? And if so which module do I need to select?

[@meme5887]

Question. Are you able to adjust the throttle response (delay) using forscan? Essentially like a pedal commander.

[@meme5887]

In my case I have a 14 Mazda3 so ik what you can control will differ. Just wondering if it's capable of doing so if the vehicle supports it.

[@stevehassellphotography]

Great video. Could you please tell me if I could read the live data from the ABS pump as I have the code C1288 and the ESP light on my 06 Focus ST.

[@SYDiagnostics]

Each vehicle differs on what info is available. But Abs will be available on all vehicles

[@mgtowstanleyzoltanov9808]

Can i measure iwth this the 3 clutch sensors on mk7?

[@TheKarolis0094]

Hello I've just watched your video and I think that I heard that you using VCM2 as an interface how did you manage to connect hardware with the Software? Best regards

[@SYDiagnostics]

In the settings you can select vcm

[@gotmudder]

Many thanks for the vid's, just watched a couple and learned a few things i hadn't already managed to figure out 👍. Quick question, when I try to read live data for my Sas, it tells me it needs to relearn it and I need to drive at 20mph to do it (or something along them lines), but up to yet nothing happens when I do, any ideas why? I had to change my steering rack after the motor bolts snapped and since then my lane keep system flags up as malfunctioned - service req. Once again, many thanks.

[@SYDiagnostics]

for lane keeping assist have you tried calibration of the camera

[@gotmudder]

@@SYDiagnosticsthanks for replying. I've no idea why the SAS wasn't giving me a reading, but I tried again the next morning and it can straight up and everything was fine. I also managed to fix the lane keeping fault, it was a module that hadn't programmed correctly. The only issue I have now is that the camera does appear to be a little out, which is more than likely because I tried a few times to calibrate it before I got it all functioning again. The odd thing is that every calibration said completed successfullywithin a minute or so of commencement 🤔.

[@SYDiagnostics]

@@gotmudder I've just had a similar issue with a transit van...after new screen fitted. I need to shim the camera as its 0.2 degrees out of tolerance (5.2 and 5.0 is the limit)

[@gotmudder]

@@SYDiagnostics the reason I say mine seems to be out is because I can be over the white line before the lines on the display have even turned to amber. I'll have another go at calibrating the camera now that everything's functioning again. Thanks for taking the time to reply 🙂.

[@andresferrer7628]

Great video! Can you see Ford transmission solenoids working on this software?

[@SYDiagnostics]

Not that I'm aware of. But each vehicle has different data pids available. Nothing is uniform with Ford

[@mentals555]

Hello, I had to replace an injector seal on my 1.6 tdci c-max. I was doing the ABS module at the same time so things were left disassembled for about a week while I waited for the module to be repaired. After getting everything together, I'm getting a no start condition. It's showing only 210 kpa of fuel rail pressure in Forscan. Does this mean my fuel system lost prime while sitting? It did start and run for a couple seconds but stopped, and now will not start. I am also hearing from the tempo when turning over that I am low on compression in one cylinder. Does it sound possible that I could have caused this when replacing the seal? I never heard it cranking for more than a half second because it always started right up.

[@SYDiagnostics]

It's possible if the system was left "open" thar it could now need priming once more. Regarding the compression issue, it's hard to say unless you haven't got the injector sealing correctly but usually you can hear that

[@luismiguellopez4004]

Thanks for the video, really clear and informative. A probably stupid question though...is it possible/safe to monitor live data while driving? Would i need any battery protection or anything?

[@SYDiagnostics]

I would not advocate the reading of live data whilst driving for legal reasons. If you can get somebody to drive, then you can observe the data yourself without any further precautions , but please observe safety first (airbags etc)

[@luismiguellopez4004]

@@SYDiagnostics Hey, thanks for your answer. I meant safe for the car actually 😜

[@SYDiagnostics]

@@luismiguellopez4004 yes I know, but I'd get ripped to bits if I said it was OK to drive whilst viewing data. Regardjngbthe car, its fine to view data whilst driving

[@luismiguellopez4004]

[@knobstop25]

When i use my other scanners eg snapon and look at live data in pcm it will give me everything. Is there any way to load all pcm data at once? Thanks

[@SYDiagnostics]

limited to whatever the maximum is. the more you have on display then the slower the refresh rate and accuracy

[@jeremymoore62]

Could you tell me how to get the can bus data (voltage) with forscan occiloscope please?

[@SYDiagnostics]

Im not aware that this is possible

[@kieranthomas5478]

Hi mate need help got forscan an apparently need to replace egr which I've had off before which is no issue but apparently I need to resert values and calibrate new one any help into where I find this in.

[@kieranthomas5478]

Or somone said disconnect battery's and will reset auto ?

[@oliverpickstock4018]

Nice video bud! Quick question, why can’t I find misfire detection in live data??

[@SYDiagnostics]

It's probably not available on your car? I've only seen it on the 1.0 ecoboost and then not every model

[@jonpeters-kitesurf-mtb1522]

Hi mate, how would I check to see if my engine is getting the correct fuel pressure/ quality? I have a horrific diesel knock about 70% of the time, transit custom 2.2 2014. Someone has said it could be down to the fuel pump solinoid? Any ideas?

[@SYDiagnostics]

you should be able to view actual and desired fuel pressures. If its too High you may have a fuel quantity valve failure (quite common). If in spec' i'd suggest re-learning pilot injection

[@jonpeters-kitesurf-mtb1522]

@@SYDiagnostics thanks, found the desired and it was 10psi off. I tried a pilot learn a few days ago and I think it’s made it worse! However today I drove down the motorway and set up the live data (thanks to your video) and I noticed that when the van started to Dona DPF regen it was driving and sounding perfect! However the second I then pulled off the motorway and stoped at the light I pulled away and it’s back to the diesel knock! Any ideas about that? Thanks for replying

[@SYDiagnostics]

@@jonpeters-kitesurf-mtb1522 is a pump re-learn available to do in your vehicle? Maybe try that, or try erase all values abd for the injectors again. Did the pilot learn raise the revs etc or just erase the values? Did it complete ok Usually a pilot relearn works best if the software is upto date

[@darrenflounders2803]

HI SO WHAT IS DIFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO SYSTEMS FROM FORD AND BENIFITS ONE AGAINST THE OTHER

[@SYDiagnostics]

i dont understand you question?.....do you mean, what is the difference between ids and fdrs ? or what is the difference between forscan and the ford system?

[@darrenflounders2803]

SY Diagnostics the difference between ford system and forscan

[@SYDiagnostics]

@@darrenflounders2803 forscan on older vehilces (pre-2010 ish) is near dealer lever, allowing PATS functions to be carried out, but since this date the PATS functions aren't capable. Some functions are easier with Forscan, such as configuration changes, the speed of forscan makes it the go to tool for a quick fault code read too. It has no functions that im aware of for adblue systems, so ids/fdrs wins there

[@mmfssr]

can i get infirmation about which gear solonoid is active while driving on fird taurus 2011

[@SYDiagnostics]

You'd have to check. It's not something I've looked into.

[@mmfssr]

[@TLOverlander]

I logged a pull, saved it on my netbook. Now I load it to my desktop but I can make it "play" back in real time. Play/stop are greyed out 🤷

[@A.C.71]

I need a scanner with scope ability. My mechanic expert told me the following..will forescan withe the elm adapter do this for me? "Yes, a CKP tone ring could cause this since there is a skipped tooth there that the computer looks for to know when to watch the firing sequence starting with cylinder one. IF the tone ring is wobbling or the missing tooth has an imperfection. That could get the ignition pulse timing just a little off. A scope is needed to check that." "If the tool you are looking at can show waveform through a scope reading then it should work." If forescan can do this, how would I go about this on a 5.4 3v f150 ? He says something about the elm with a switch doesn't do something but links to one with a switch. Which one does he use?

[@Dee-l2g]

Is it worth purchasing a full license and how much is it?

[@SYDiagnostics]

All depends on what work you want to do and whether forscan can do it. Licence price... I'm not sure if you can get one currently with the conflict in Ukraine. (Forscan is Russian I believe)

[@Dee-l2g]

@@SYDiagnostics I just seen on a video that the money was originally paid into Russian banks 😲

[@Yopsyra]

how can I see live data on misfires for each cylinder ? i can only find a total of misfires, but doesnt tell me for each individual cylinder

[@SYDiagnostics]

Unfortunately I find that each Ford model / system has differing levels of information available. Some will show individual misfire counters and some just total misfires. It is what it is and is Ford rather than a Forscan issue

[@Yopsyra]

@@SYDiagnostics wasnt complaining , i was asking, because on an android app, it shows the misfire cound for each cylinder, but on forscan i cant find how to do it.
