How To Use FORScan (Instructional)

[@ToddP]

Unlike other videos, this one actually explained every detail! thanks so much

[@braddahjon9617]

i agree

[@MarkK01]

I suggest buying the one year subscription. It does allow access to more features. It cost me less then $20.00 Canadian. Plus you get to support all the R&D that goes into running the website and features of this program.

[@c.brionkidder9232]

Agreed it's only 12 bucks US. No brainer.

[@JLK7700]

Thank you so much for your wonderful instructions. This is the best video on FORSCAN that I have found.

[@timothygunter1712]

Thank you very much! With the help of your video and a few other resources, I was able to swap my bad rack with a replacement used rack for under 500 bucks. The programming was the smoothest part, thanks to your awesome directions. So appreciative! Thanks!

[@AV8R_1]

If you read and open the modules that are NOT labeled "AS BUILT", then you do not have to deal with the spreadsheet style or changing numerical code. You will get the simplified text parameters, and drop down menus of textual explanations of options to enable or disable certain things. Its MUCH simpler.

[@ranburnehighschoolwrestlin9151]

Thank you this was very helpful , new forscan user and had 0 issues changing a few settings. If you are tuned like i am the only thing you need to do is get the part number for your BCM which you can google, no need to take off kickpanels or anything. I have a Gen1 Raptor and once i put in the part number i was good to go.

[@BillKohlmetz]

Very well done video. Just enabled my foglights in my Bronco and worked like a champ. Thanks much!

[@johnallums3134]

Just now learning Foreskin I hope to get a good OBD 2 Connector today! Thank you!

Working on my foreskin today too

[@Cire3PC]

Purchased it before I even installed it. Worth the $12 bucks. Like a couple cups of coffee.

[@sonnyjsd]

Forscan explained exceptionally well!

[@offdatgogo]

Thank God I got rid of the double honk on my '16 Explorer Sport 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Can't tell you how many times I blew out my ear drums or woke neighbors 😵‍💫🫣. I wasn't sure about that message that came up after hitting write but you confirmed to continue. Now on the other mods. Thanks for sharing 🫡

[@tominaklan9702]

Best video on forscan out there

[@dashtyATG]

Thank you thank you thank you very much. That was really useful to me and I watched every single minute.

[@BigStu123]

Video was INCREDIBLY helpful. Thank you a ton.

[@rabstewart1]

First class, thank you for a great educational walk through

[@juanherrera5095]

Thanks bro u went into detail and I was able to find the file was struggling for the last half hour lol

[@cpt_constitution5719]

Excellent video, man. Made it dumby-proof. Just what I needed!

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

Wow, what a great video. Sounds like the foreskin app can help with a lot of the issues I was experiencing.

[@lesurge1485]

Very Happy you made this video. I had a Bronco Sport before the Mav and was disappointed that Sport and Eco were missing. Not any more! Thx!

[@Johnbobon]

I'm about to attempt this exact tweak via forscan. Hope I don't screw anything up!

[@jkdean4685]

Thank you! This tutorial provided exactly what I needed.

[@raymondgestring3991]

Do you have a video to use Forscan as a diagnostic tool.

[@spoofers45]

best forscan video I've seen :)

[@professor_thunder]

Don't be a free-loader the rest of your life folks. Spend the 12 bucks for a full functioning product while supporting those that developed the software. Nothing is "Free".

[@josueduran6881]

Yes sir

[@ENVY____]

Its a trial for those who are only gonna use it like twice in their lives lmao

[@zachattack83]

@@ENVY____ yeah but the 12 bucks keeps it going and can likely save you hundreds of dollars over the dealer doing something like activate a trailer brake controller after install.

[@2Greenlid]

@@ENVY____’Use” is the key word, what do you get to ‘use’ for free, I am excited to pay only $12, don’t be so cheap….

[@Alex-Zone]

He's not circumventing any protection he's just using the trial version there's nothing morally wrong with that at all stop trying to guilt other people.

[@Xtremist666]

Oh man, thank you! Really good video, gonna make things a lot easier for me 😊

[@krisn8820]

I recommend a wired connection. The Bluetooth one sucks. You waste more time waiting to connect.

[@rogermasters7800]

Plus a recommended OBD Link EX is only $59.95 on Amazon

[@Three9sfine.]

Blue tooth works Greta for me never had a issue

[@billmace5974]

Thank you for the detailed video!

[@StephenHarry-b5w]

Thank you, very informative and concise, easy to follow

[@GiggleFactory-]

bruh. as a shop you should totally be able to shell out for the license. support the devs man! good video tho

[@jimmyclay2311]

Good job Hunter . would like to see video on make changes on the PCM

[@0rnery]

Very well presented, thank you. I was hoping to be able to use Forscan to cycle solenoids on and off. Guess that's not its purpose, eh?

[@impaqtmusic524]

Just make a 12v relay with a switch

[@0rnery]

@@impaqtmusic524 Point is, I didn't realize FORScan is not a two way scanner. Still made good use of it to program a couple keys, and for that I'm grateful.

[@RazHart-jy5pt]

Hey Hunter, thank you for explaining in detail, I have a 2020 Explorer Police interceptor which didn't come with key fob and I'd like to add a key fob but I cant seem to find the correct procedure for this car, also cannot find forscan spreadsheet for the values. I was hopping you can show the rest of the world how that's done on this 2020 Explorer Police interceptor. Thank you

[@feyrrari]

Any luck?

[@csim187]

Hi - Have a 2007 Ford F-150 5.4 . I don’t want to modify any factory settings. I just want to be able to read live data or any pending codes and be able to clear them. Am I able to do that with forscan? First timer. Thanks

[@edwardreeve3438]

Thanks for the Video! Makes it easier to play with the software.

[@Uncle_Buzz]

Best video on this topic! Thanks man .

[@tomfairbourn6998]

Great Job This one really helped this old man.

[@iankidd6654]

Amazing video. Many thanks for sharing. I noticed when you made a backup of your 'As built" module. I also noticed there was a "Load factory AB" function. Is that a good way to go if you really mess up. Also, what does "Restore All" and "Load All" do

[@Yielar1]

Best to save copies of original modules before making changes. Then if you make a mistake or want to remove all changes you just need to Load All and click on your saved file.

[@michaelrestoresonemorecar8242]

Great video…you helped me to get my tow mirrors to extend….

[@professionalinspectionserv9468]

Thank you for the information. I see it as a start, maybe see some more information and what this thing can do, understanding diagnostics... So one has to purchase a special adapter to connect or will any work as long as it attaches to the obd?

[@genericdude6551]

Is this searchable? For example, if I want to change injector size can I search for where I need to make the change? Since I don't see a spreadsheet for my 2002 Mustang GT.

[@rawbone22]

Thank you for this. What does the RESTORE button do, next to the write button?

[@LLQ423]

I'm asking the exact same question myself

[@nickayivor8432]

Brilliant video Thanks for sharing it

[@noone-zq7my]

Thanks for the tutorial very helpful, nice truck

[@RCMC-fm3bp]

Thanks for this! can you show how to brighten up Daylight running lights for 2019 F250

[@jmrewa]

Why do some of the rows have "RESTORE" & "WRITE" and others don't? I'm trying to change my Bronco Badlands to have the sport mode but that row doesn't have "READ""WRITE" to the right of it. In those cases do you just use the "WRITE ALL" towards the bottom of the screen?

[@twisskevin4853]

Very good video. Very informative. I have a 21 Ford raptor. Which has the amber DRL lights. I saw something about brightness on the DRLs I think it says 60% to 75%. Does that mean I can turn the brightness up on my DRLs. And can I turn the brightness on the three extra amber lights which come with the raptor also in the fender flares Amber lights can they all be turned up brightness wise with four scan.

[@bigmotoxer]

[@seanbird3993]

Awesome, thanks Hunter. Bought a used 09' F-150 in great shape and want to learn the $30 FORScan tool I picked up. Hopefully it works out

[@FernandoBaarros]

Thank you very much for this video and the spreadsheet you made available. I would like to know if it is possible to disable the DRL "burnt out" bulb warning on a Jeep Renegade. Greetings from Brazil!!

[@higbeedoug]

Upgrading from a 150 to a 250 amp alternator and replacing the standard starter battery to dual AGM H8's, my mechanic states that he needs more than merely knowing 'H8' but needs the 'serial number' of each battery. Is this the case?

[@bishop5537]

Awesome video! Im so getting this today!

You make me krazy, 5 days I'm trying to do, it's not easy, finally I did but my computer it's broken the screen. I need please same like this but it can works on android devices, or on google Chrome OS Version. Thank you your video it was excellent 👍👍👍👍

When I attempt to operate the Forscan software on my laptop, I get can't connect to vehicle, contact producer. Anything?

[@richB666]

[@brooklyn_autumn]

I need help! Where did you get that data sheet for your truck that shows all the values in what to put in to change? I have a 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium 2.0 turbocharged and im trying to enable navigation on my screen. I see ford trucks use a certain line and it doesn't work for me with Sync 3. I have no idea what to change and what to. How do I get a list of all these values???

[@patrickhoward4080]

I have a 2018 ford fusion hybrid. The touch screen went black on it after I did an update. The tech I talked to about it said it may have happened due to corrupt download software update that I recently did over my WiFi. I already checked the fuse under the dash as well and it was good. He said he it was probably “bricked” and not a bad APIM but probably just shut down to protect. Can this Forescan software allow me to reset the software back to factory setting and program Modules in the car? I was considering getting it because my dad also has a F150 and has to go to the dealer several times because of issues with it. And I would love to help him out as well with this software if it can do all this.

[@abdullahumod]

im gonna install the 12inch infotainment display upgrade on my 2022 f150 but im wondering what are the things i should change in the forscan so it can work perfectly?

2006 F350 My GEM only shows 4WD Electronic Shift on the Fly and Transmission. Is there any way to get it to show more information?

[@kennethleerdam9685]

I look at your complete instructions, but I don't understand what you were doing. You talk about making changes, but I did not hear anything about the scanning of the problem in your truck. I could not get it working because the ID was invalid and no one to contact to explain that my ID was invalid. I really don't understand what you are talking about making changes. I would like to hear how you scan the system and how to recognize the problem. I need help to get a good ID without that I can't move forward. Thanks for your help. K Leerdam

[@kiddt1999]

I changed my tire size using foracan on my 22 f250. Once i did, my check engine light came on and wouldn’t clear even when resetting modules until i changed the tire size back to default. Any ideas to make it work?

[@johnjohnson1313]

My 07 Mustang is having an intermitant problem with the starter relay-pcm-ign switch system. I think it might be a wiring problem. Do you think Forscan would find that? Thanks.

[@steve6429]

When programming modules, can you load the AS BUILT data straight from the forescan tab that says "load as built data" or do you need to get it from the ford service website first?

Hey Hunter, every time i press write, i get an error ( writing blocks failed - incompatible configuration) i did everything right, i am using OBDLINK EX

[@patchesmunchkin]

Can FORScan be used to correct an odometer error? When I purchased my 2007 Eddie Bauer, it actually had 123,000 on the odometer but when the dealer filed for a new title, he mistakenly wrote 128,000 on the application. So now, the odometer readings appear to be 5K miles less than the title shows. I'd rather add the extra 5K to the display and not have to deal with CarFax errors, etc.

[@JayGreen313]

not sure but I DID see something in this video that said "Write odometer"

[@BenKinslowGuitar]

Can you activate new parts. Just got a new wiper motor for a transit 2018 facelift and need to calibrate it to the old one.

[@kirkbodendorfer5313]

I have a 2020 F250 XLT Super Duty. I took out the middle seat and put in a full console. The power ports do not work. Is there a requirement for turning on the ports in the computer. Ford can not or will not tell me without charging $211 fee for trouble shooting.

[@tylerchassie7273]

I noticed the IPM (image processing module) on the extra list of functions. Does it off the feature to calibrate the IPM? I own an autoglass company and this would be a cool feature to experiment with. (I also use the Autel Calibration tool so nobody get there panties in a bunch)

[@robertbarbieri276]

what is the the very step when you get to the car. do you plug in the obd adapter before or after you start the car? i want to use forscan for 2 reasons, to read engine codes and to turn on my navigation on my sync2 sony system. thanks
