How To Use FORScan (Instructional)

[@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.

[@ToddP]

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

[@braddahjon9617]

i agree

[@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.

[@johnallums3134]

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

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.

[@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!

[@BillKohlmetz]

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

[@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 🫡

[@Cire3PC]

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

[@BigStu123]

Video was INCREDIBLY helpful. Thank you a ton.

[@tominaklan9702]

Best video on forscan out there

[@raymondgestring3991]

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

[@dashtyATG]

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

[@rabstewart1]

First class, thank you for a great educational walk through

[@Manuel_Z_Kayaks]

My 04 Ranger only double honks if something is not secured. Door not closed right, hood open

[@rivalstorm120]

Can you turn up the level of brightness for the low beams, like you can the drl strip?? Thanks

[@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.

[@COCarDude]

Thank you for this video, made it a lot easier for me to program my new raptor LED headlights in my 2016 XLT

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@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?

[@GiggleFactory-]

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

[@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

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

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

[@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

[@bmjhockey1]

Definitely, I have had many OBD2 scan tools and even some that do live data. But I can honestly say that forscan blows them out of the water unless your buying one the dealership uses. It can do live monitoring for so many things. I have a 2012 Ford explorer XLT 3.5L NA and the list of things that I can monitor is at least 1000 different things I can scroll for so long but you can search for what you want to monitor. I’ve only had it for a week and it has done so much! It seems overwhelming for the first few hours but it’s easy to learn. Definitely recommend the extended license

[@cpt_constitution5719]

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

[@juanherrera5095]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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. Edit: Assuming he doesn't abuse the free trial period that is. It is supposed to be once per person folks.

[@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

[@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?

[@cgullm4074]

I bought an OBD II adapter, my laptop has windows 8. I downloaded Forscan driver, but then message says my laptop already has driver. I signed up for Forscan's two month free trial. When I attempt to operate the Forscan software on my laptop, I get can't connect to vehicle, contact producer. Anything?

[@jimmyclay2311]

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