If all you need is a VIN, I'd search the sale listings: dealers, private listings, even ford.com.

I'd give you mine, but I have a PP (no ACC).  You're still going to need the ACC components (radar, etc.).

Question for you FORScan gurus.

Can you get into BCM parameters and see any TPMS info?

Also, what bluetooth adapter are you guys using? If I pull the trigger, I want to make sure I get something compatible.

Thanks!!

You can see tpms info what exactly are you looking for tomorrow morning I'll take a look at it.

By far the best odb device is the obdlink MX I like Bluetooth version because it's easy to connect and still have internet on my phone but the wifi  has quicker data refresh.

Awesome! Ordered the MX, thanks!

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. LOL
Do you have the ability to see your sensor IDs and/or add/change/remove the IDs that are present?

I'm thinking step 1 is to read/clear any stored BCM codes to see if that allows me to train new sensors, but if I had to, I was wondering if I could manually add the codes I read from the TPMS service tool into the BCM.

Codes or PIDs, Mike?  You cannot add PIDs into any module.  You can add PIDs to Torque Pro to read the existing PIDs in the vehicle's modules.  You cannot add PIDs to Forscan, period.  forscan.org forums are a good resource to browse through/ask questions in as well.

Thanks, Manu.

I don't think I need to add any PIDs. I was curious if it was possible to manually add the 8 digit alphanumeric TPMS ID to an existing cell on the BCM. Like if there was old sensor data stored, could I replace it with new sensor data?

And/or if there was a stored DTC on the BCM, would I be able to clear them with FORScan?

I'll try over on the Forscan forum you mentioned as well. Can never have too many hooks in the water! :)

Thanks for the feedback!

I see, you want to populate the data values into the PIDs and force recognition that way.  Great idea, IDK if it is possible though, hope it is.  Then we would find out whether the system periodically scans these values and resets to the most current discovery or simply leaves them alone :)

Correct! That was my thought. Force it in and see if it's accepted. Sheesh, when it's put that way, I feel ashamed. LOL

I just posted on the FORScan forum as well. Here's the link for anyone who wants to follow along. I'll be sure to post a resolution here as well, if/when I get this figured out.

At one point I think I saw a thread (different forum) on doing custom splash screens via SD card flashing. It required some minor manipulation to the Sync update code.

IIRC, I think it was a Raptor forum because the Raptor guys were getting Lincoln splash screens after a Sync update. I believe one of the posters explained how to update the code to add your own screens. Didn't look all that difficult, but I haven't tried it myself.

If it can be done with FORScan, that would probably be a lot simpler. :)

To add your own splash screen you would need to some how do it with flash card.
Now that we have a physical update someone can reverse engineer it and just make it change splash screen. Maybe even make a theme.

Hey anyone know much about these features in FORScan what do you change?

Only thing I've done is turn off the honk when double locking and turn the turn signals to daylights.

Change factory splash screen.

I'm running Windows 10, and the connection goes between "connected" and "paired". Apparently this is normal with Windows if a signal isn't being actively transmitted. Registered the device with the OBDwiz application, and everything seems kosher.

When I execute service procedure to program a module, it seems to stay connected, but if I clear a DTC, it will work once, then I get a "No ELM found. Please check connection and try again". If I close FORScan and reconnect it works again. I turned off a power save feature in my device manager for Bluetooth, but this didnt seem to make much of a difference. Guess I will just proceed with caution.

I have only used Forscan Lite on Android to clear codes (with ignition in ON but with engine off), and never had an issue with pairing.  Sounds more of device issue on the Windows side.  I know when I tried to use Forscan on Windows 7, it was a bit picky with its' Bluetooth adapters/connections.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards Windows goofiness. I did make a change to the BCM to turn off the double horn honk, and it worked with no issue.

I'll keep you guys posted if I have any other problems. Thanks! :)

Anyone using a wifi adapter with Forscan?  I want to go that route because the bluetooth isn't compatible with the iPhone app (so they say).

Theoretically the Kiwi BT adapter IS iOS compatible, and is well-rated on Amazon if you want to give it a try.

Otherwise for wifi, I have found Veepeak/vGate/iCar adapters to be the fastest/last the longest.  Still no contest against the MX BT adapter, but not bad.

I wanted to try the AWD Gauge but that line doesn't offer to write and I did not want to try "write all", I'm still green to all this. I just got the adapter Friday.
Ohh give me the line for wed please?! I've done the write all it's safe but just in case I have a manual save of all the modules and the as built file from before

I enabled the AWD gauge on my SHO.  On my 2015, I changed 720-01-02 from 8AFC-4CF0-3F2B to BAFC-4CF0-3F5B.  Of course, the last byte is the checksum.  Works great, although I rarely use it.

Interesting note, if you have navigation, this also changes the speed limit indicator on the right IP from the US version to the "international" version (white circle with red border).

That is interesting I'm curious if there is away to get speed limit posted from a non nav unit kinda seems not if that changes when you have nav.
There is probably another spot to edit or another way of turning it on so that doesn't change.

I'm pretty sure you can enable navigation on a non-nav car using FORScan; I read about it on one of the other forums.  Obviously, you need to buy an SD card.  I have factory navigation, so I didn't mess with it.

AFAIK the only way to add Navigation,instead of compass on the right side of the instrument cluster is through IDS Software and then you will need a Vin-specific AB File in order to program the Data for the IPC.IIRC
Here's mine below and has been working flawless for almost two years now.  Z

With forscan you can do just about everything you can do with IDs there was info in the fiesta forum that added nav I can't find it now as I didn't want to add nav but wish that the camera would pick up the speed limit signs.
Or I was wishing is the camera only used for auto hi beams?

If I find it I need to add to list of things can do.

No have not read anything on that but should be in the works since we finally got sync update file someone just needs tear it apart.

I agree would be nice to have just Ford performance
Maybe one of the 350 ones do that. Use to read there was one but I was confused what was changing so thats when I just started doing random things in that and found the Lincoln so I kept with that till I found f150 updated the spreadsheet.

Well I got the AWD to show, but I noticed that it only shows me fuel level and not the dual fuel/rpm bar gauge like yours does.  All good regardless.  Driving in S mode using the paddles has been fun and really changes the feel of the car.  It will be nice to see how the awd is kicking in and when as I goof around.

Might be because I've had the temp gauge option on or recently used the paddles before turning the option on or maybe just some other programming different. I can try to take a picture of my settings to see what else is different.

Never mind, I found a discussion on the forscan forum and it appears enabling global close does nothing on the taurus. Anyone messed with secure idle? On 726-42-01 I had x1xx xxxx xxxx, which should be enabled but the shift lever does not lock when the fob is out of the car.  I switched the 1 to 0 for the heck of it and got service advancedtrac and the ABS light on, guess I could go do a burnout or something..

Global open rolls the windows down when you hold the unlock button on the fob down, global close should roll them up when you hold the lock button down. I enabled global close, but apparently it does nothing on some models including Taurus. Global open is awesome! If it starts raining and I've left the windows up, I can just roll them down with the fob and get a good washin' on the interior. (Sarcasm)

My car is a '13 PP.  I just checked and made sure it was "on" in left dash settings.  I have not altered anything for the windows using FORScan.

click-clickhold worked for me.  It was a loong hold on the second click, 3-5 seconds?  I also did a slow sequence.  Not clickclick...  more like click and clickhold.  When I tried it fast it dis not work.

There's the option to turn it on, it just appears to not do anything on the Taurus platform. If that's what you meant, my bad.

I thought of that too need to find a vehicle that has it. Although   it was not on fordpi.com so I'm guessing it doesn't work.

Haven't played with forscan for a while now, some friends caught wind that I had it and now I have four trucks and a fusion waiting for me to make some changes. Lol. Guess it's time to generate another extended license. Can anyone confirm that secure idle is functioning on their Taurus? It's a no go for me thus far, but I haven't messed with it much. I'd really like to use that feature.

The Taurus still runs on the what I refer to as the old electrical platform.  Nearly every other non-euro based model as switched to the newer platform.  11-15 Explorer/11-14 F150/11-17 Flex/11-17 Taurus/11-14 Edge are the same style.  15+ Edge/15+ F150/16+ Explorer are on the newer (Fusion style) electrical platform.  Some modules such as the APIM are consistent across platforms however the BCM and IPC are not.  You can not put an IPC from platform into another either as the older platform has a gateway incorporated into the IPC and the newer platform uses a separate Gateway Module.

Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff the F150 and fusion guys are discovering will not work on the Taurus. From what I understand, we share the same BCM coding as the 11-15 explorers. That's how I figured out how to disable the double honk, by using the info posted by a explorer owner. Some good info on the forscan forum, along with as built comparison tools. We need someone with the time and desire to dig through our cars and figure it out, the wife gives me the stink eye every time she sees me in her car with the laptop.

Can't do it on the instrument panel, but you can display the tire pressures in Torque:

https://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,3141.0.html (https://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,3141.0.html)

QuoteTire pressures: Discussed in detail on page 5.

6/12/14 update on Tire Pressures:  We can't get Torque to respond to these PIDs for the 2011 as I believe they are in a different module that it refuses to access...the 2011's are on MSCAN which may be preventing it and the 2013's have a BCM on the HSCAN which means the address is probably different.  No luck for now...

2013+ tire pressures (psi):

That's how I've typically done it.  I just view the PID's through a scan app on my phone with a Bluetooth app and ELM327.  Still, would be nice to pull up a screen and see it instantly, especially as we are about to head into the winter and the tire pressures drop over the next few months. Oh well


Changing gears, has anyone discovered how to enable the climate control menu on the right display screen?



Using Forscan, so far on my car I've done this
- Enable navigation
- Eliminate the double beep when you step outside car with engine running
- Change number of flashes when you half press the turn signal from 3 to 4.

Should all be in this thread.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/general/myford-touch-navigation-activation-t3368080


To sum it up here's what I did.

Use Forscan to enable Nav  (literally changed 1 bit)
installed .png file on USB, and loaded it into MFT by importing it as a wallpaper and unlocking Nav

DId a master reset on the MFT

At that point, it was asking for the SD card, but wasn't seeing it.  I had Sync 3.8, so I downloaded some Navigation update files for the system (listed as optional on some of the posts, but I had to do it) and installed via USB.  After that, I put in the ford SD card with maps, and had navigation.

Spend a good couple hours researching this before I tried it, but if I had to do it again I could probably get it done in 30 minutes...mostly spent waiting for Sync to install the nav files and reboot.

CHanging the one bit also changed the Compass screen on the right side of dash to Navigation as well.

Really surprised that my car can do it, but a SHO can't.  Everything else is darn near exact between the two models.

Might be hardware related as to the reasons for that.  Perhaps the motors are different enough to justify the higher price point of the Lincoln, and Ford decided not to extend that to the Taurus line in general.  For instance, there's a feature called "secureidle" which locks the shifter in Park if you get out of the vehicle and won't allow it to shoft out of park until it detects the key again.  Great for police vehicles, but if you enable it on the civilian Taurus it doesn't work.  The shifter on the police cars is column shift however, so the hardware is completely different.

But what you refer to is known as "Global open" and "global close", but enabling the bit, won't necessarily enable the function on the car.

______

Next up on my list of things to do is add heated steering wheel.  I know how to enable the soft touch icon on Forscan to add the icon to my touchstreet and I've purchased a heated steering wheel module.  Just need to find where it goes to verify the wiring is there, before I invest in a steering wheel.

I just got Forscan, found it through the ford-trucks forum looking for my 2017 f250. They have an extensive spreadsheet going on there as well.

I found this thread through google after I messed with my truck and I found really good information on here for my 2016 SHO.  Climate menu on the left side did not work for me. But I was able to change  the blinker to flash 4 times, added the engine hours and AWD gauge, removed the double horn honk all with your help. THANK YOU! 

I found a good one today on the superduty forum, this is thanks to LIVNITUP on there and wanted to share it here as I tried it on my SHO and it worked.

Apparently this didn't work with SYNCv2.0 but was confirmed to work with the leaked SYNCv3 that is out there. I confirmed it worked on my SYNCv2.2 SHO this evening. Now the keyboard will not be disabled when the car gets over 5 mph. No more pulling over to add a destination.

I know this is an old thread, but just got forscan, found it through the ford-trucks forum looking for my 2017 f250. They have an extensive spreadsheet going on there as well.

I found this thread through google after I messed with my truck and I found really good information on here for my 2016 SHO.  Climate menu on the left side did not work for me. But I was able to change  the blinker to flash 4 times, added the engine hours and AWD gauge, removed the double horn honk all with your help. THANK YOU! 

I found a good one today on the superduty forum, this is thanks to LIVNITUP on there and wanted to share it here as I tried it on my SHO and it worked.

That won't work on an Older Taurus running the Sync 2 setup correct? 



As for engine hours.  I'm struggling on this one.

720-01-02  xxxx xxxX xxxx

X = 0   engine hours off
X = 3  engine hours on.     

Except when I change the bit to a 3, I get an incompatible configuration error and it won't let me write it.

Yes, as far as I know it is only for the SYNC3 system.

The engine hours change worked for me adding the 3 in that location.

So I finally decided to start doing some deep diving of how to find options first I compared identical Tauruses to see what codes changes just for vin then I have my pp vs one with nav next separate photo when I update it will be 17 sho with nav vs 17sho with everything but pp don't remember if the nav has a moon roof think it did.

Also was going to add name of what modules they correspond with so that picture will probably be changed soon as well

This is how I'm doing this only writing down the difference but also noting where and how.
Later ignoring all the ones that seem only changed by vin I'm going to plug everything in and see if I can turn anything on also see what type of hex I need to turn it on 1 or 0 or a or h already possibly noticed something's have changes in 3 lines but we usually only make one change

Most Laptops have secondary video output. As long as your screen is not totally dead and even if it is. You can hook it up to any TV or monitor. Usually there is a key for it on the keyboard. Hit secondary function key (blue) and it sometimes is F4 . Look for a dual screen picture on your keyboard.

Wow!  Lots of information in this thread.  Trying to bring myself up to speed, but wanted to say...

On my '13 MKS, my windows roll up and my sunroof closes if I hold down the lock button on the key fob.  Is that one of the things people are trying to activate?  I do not have Forscan nor have played with any of this.  It's just that way from the factory.

What is your VIN. I'd love to see the as built. I was able to turn on globalup and down on my 17' F150 when neither is enabled from the factory.

I've used FORscan so far to do the following.

1. 5 blinks for quick turn signal.
2. AWD gauge
3. Added time to the engine off radio off delay.
4. Removed the horrible Performance Pack EPAS steering programming. I changed to standard SHO. So much better!  Might try a limited code and see if that's different.

What I'd like to do next is..
1.Global roll up/sunroof close or auto sunroof close when car is shut off. My old Marauder did this. I miss it dearly.
2. Front LED accent lights set on as DRL without other lights on.

Oh yeah...That looked like an old cluster...I had to jump through hoops to even buy a boss cluster for my mustang GT and the car won't start with a different cluster....And I had to buy my own IDS because the dealer wouldn't do it. But it was worth it because I got great satisfaction when I told the dealer I'd do it myself and he said only Ford techs can get IDS and I laughed and said I already have it lol

I know the 2015s can do this, but I have a 2013 and really want this option to control the seats massagers through the sync screen

Finally got some more time to play don't know if anyone else has had these same questions but autounlock driver 1-4 I'm guessing is for each driver key not sure how you would program what is 1 thru 4 but I think I remember when I got my keys it was labeled what one was the master key so I picked that one gave my wife the second one so that should be 1 and 2 then how ever you add the next chooses 3 and 4

I'm guessing autounlock vehicle level is just when you drive off it will autolock

I found d out two stage unlock is just how many times you hit unlock on the fob one stage unlock all four two stage driver then the 3 others

Pase configuration I tried inop I don't know what that stands for but makes it where the key has to be in the chip holder spot to read the key to state the car

Haven't tried disabled affraid it may not let me use the push start button to let me reconnect and change it back

Not sure what passive keyfob does key still works when I disabled to lock unlock and start car using the touch sensors or from key  (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180804/29945f45306e1748d2db086e8e43538d.jpg)

There was a hardware change that allows for this. The 2013 massagers do not communicate with the APIM so while you may be able to add the buttons  on screen they will NOT work with the 2013 massager modules. The 2015+ I believe will also let you use the back and butt massagers at once where earlier ones are either or.

Looks like 2016+ then.

Something I wish I could add, which was standard on my Lincoln LS was syncing the heated/cooled seats with the climate controls so they would get cold/hot based on how much AC/heat the climate control was calling for. That car had hard buttons for heated and cooled, pressing both together would sync them. My Navigator has the same buttons but would not do it.

The AC seats are just blowing air from the rest of the system into the seats so having the AC seats on will adjust temp of the seat to same as air.  Same with heat I noticed that by raising the main temp that my seats would get warmer or colder from 72-80 I felt the most difference

What I am saying is with the LS you could set them as "always on" and would automatically cool or heat based on the climate control setting. You wouldn't have to turn them on manually anymore, similar to the remote start in the Taurus where you can have them come on while the car is warming up.   From the Lincoln owners manual:

Automatic heated/cooled passenger seat: To engage, press the
passenger side heat and cool seat controls simultaneously. The center
light above the passenger side heated and cooled controls will illuminate
and the display will show . This allows the seat to automatically heat
or cool based on the climate control temperature selected. Press either
control to disengage.

Awd gauge works.... neat... I'll see how it does on the ice this winter,  lol

Global down works.  Cool feature, but no global up seriously takes away from it.

I'm pretty disappointed we can't get the TPMS gauge/info. I suppose I should have read more into it,  but that was the main reason I wanted forscan. With the aggressive temperature changes we get it'd be good info to have. 

Not sure what else is needed or if there's anything else I want to change.

Thanks to all those who experimented and put out the relevant info!

I banged my head for a few days trying to figure out global up when this thread got rolling, it's a bummer. But hey, if it starts raining hard at least you can run all the windows DOWN. smh..

I've read thru the posts and couldn't find if anyone has asked this silly/dumb question.

Can you use the OBD adapter from your handheld tuner unit (IE SCT) and connect with laptop hdmi port using FORScan? Or is the best approach to get a bluetooth adapter? I dont mind using my laptop and plan on using it for diagnostics to see if a miss-fire is occurring. Possibly looking at Mode 6 diag results to see if its below the min/mav values and therefore not throwing a CEL.

Thanks in advance.

HDMI?  I don't think you can do that without an HDMI-Bluetooth or HDMI-Wifi Converter.  Usually a USB port or Wifi is the way to connect depending on the revision of the tuner.

I was thinking of trying to use the OBD adapter from my SCT and connecting it directly to my laptop and seeing if it will connect.

I've attached the image of the adapter that came with the SCT I mentioned above. It may not work at all. Probably figures why no one has mentioned it because it is a dumb question lol!

Do you have a closeup of the connector - certainly looks like an HDMI ...  HDMI can be spec'd to carry Ethernet, so possibly using that?

If your laptop is able to pick up the ethernet thru HDMI is may be possible all the can signals are pretty close to the same so I have read but haven't gotten that far in the actual reading of everything.

You maybe abel to wire or get a HDMI converter to some other port like HDMI to vga then strip a VGA cord then convert it to serial but that is very complicated and probably around the same price of just getting a dongle but if you were to figure it out it could make it cheaper for someone else

Hello everyone that has scanned the can Network to figure out pids I needs some help figuring out how to do this and or find of the Ford explorer sand mode sends a code in hopes to make a button you can press to have the sho going to traction control off quickly

Hey there! Appreciate the references but I am far from an expert on CANBUS communications - that said I will happily chime in what I do know.  (I did get your PM as well Gjkrisa).  The challenge with scanning the PID's per se is that the method I used originally to figure out the numeric values for them involved using a known scan tool to do so.  The modules communicate directly between them via addresses on the CANBUS so you need to be able to intercept that communication or have it originate on the scan tool.  With a scan tool (like FORSCAN for instance) you could sniff the traffic between the PC and the car to see what the responses were.  If you are actually trying to intercept a communication between modules (like what the Explorer does when you put it in SAND mode as the example you sent me via PM) you have to have a way to see that PID response and that won't be easy. 

Bottom line is if you can replicate the action/request with a SCAN tool and use a serial sniffer to see it then we can interpret the results and possibly make some progress.  Without that I don't know of a way to essentially see all of the traffic on the CAN bus and even if you could picking out the one thing you are after would be difficult because we don't really know what we are looking for.

Right yeah I had gotten a log on my phone but had messed up a few times so when I finally started logging the packets it supposedly filled the 1mb buffer and only showed me 15 lines of which also have no idea what they were so yeah was curious how you could even tell what your even looking at so that makes sense
They mention on a artical on obd hacking that you just keep flipping your trigger few different patterns so you can find that one object

Thank you for that little bit of insight.

You remember any of the commands of what you used to establish connection and get it all prepared?

Here are some notes I made for myself a long time ago.  You may need to tweak the STP setting and the STCAFCP to get what you want (assuming all this still works).  This is based on an OBDlink MX adapter which utilizes the STN1100 chip set.  After you establish a serial session with the car you can type the following to set things up.  You may need to tweak the settings depending on your terminal server serial connection to get the display you are after.

ATI  (Just prints ELM 327 version ID string)
STI  (Prints Firmware ID string)
STP53 (Sets Protocol to 53 - MS CAN as an example)
ATPC  (Protocol Close)
ATE0  (Echo off)
ATL0  (Line Feed Off)
ATH1  (Headers On)
ATST32  (Sets timeout to 32ms)
ATS0  (Print Spaces off)
ATAT1  (Adaptive timing Auto)
ATCAF1  (Automatic Formatting On)
ATTP6  (Try Protocol 6)
ATBI  (Bypass Initialization sequence)
ATAL  (Allow long messages)

ATSH0007E0 (Set header to 00 07 E0 - this is typically your scan tool address if I recall correctly)
STCAFCP7E0,726  (Adds a flow control 11-bit ID pair, 7E0 is your scan tool and 726 is your target module address...you could request a known PID from the AWD module and see what header it responds with and use that going forward)

Here is the entire guide for the chipset...

https://www.scantool.net/scantool/downloads/98/stn1100-frpm.pdf (https://www.scantool.net/scantool/downloads/98/stn1100-frpm.pdf)

You can actually monitor all messages and then filter for what you are after...challenge is you don't know the PID but I think you could at least limit it to the communication between the module in question.   

It's been quite awhile since I dug in to this so take the above with a grain of salt and maybe experiment a bit! (But don't go too crazy. :)  )

Has anyone found MKS codes?  I just got Forscan today.  I am just trying to learn it and find out what is available and useful for my MKS.  Thank you.

Forscan in any of its' versions is not customizable.  Torque Pro is.  If you are looking to add custom codes, Torque Pro is the way to go.

Can you take snapshots of what PIDs are available for your MKS in the PCM module?  Then we can compare to what is now available with Torque Pro.

If you get a  2 month free license using the pc software and you find the place to make changes in the one not labeled as built it should have a pretty big list or stuff to change but not everything is changeable if you don't have the right modules
Only thing they didn't add in to preselection was changing sync3 theme

It already should work haven't tested it but all I have to do is add a read pid for break pressure then select the control pid for the breaks and then when I hit the play button it should open a screen to control the abs controller
