4th Gen Expy FORScan Modifications

[J Ski]

It allows you to press the brake hard enough to apply the brakes and then release the pedal and the brakes continue to hold until you press the brake again or press the accelerator pedal.

Thts not dangerous at all...

You sure seem like you’re pissed about these new vehicles. Let’s get you back to the part of the forum that is less modifying, less unsafe and less minivan-like...

I got in touch with FORScan support regarding some of the control units not allowing any blocks to be written and they sent me a newer beta that hasn’t been released yet to try. Unfortunately the 2018 Expys are too new and Ford changed something with them that the software or control units arenot happy with. I will post an update when something changes.

The next time you are connected to your truck, would you mind looking at this address: BCM 726-42-01

I'd love to know what the full field of data there is. Thanks!

Heh, heh, this is fun.

I made some of the changes rcompart mentioned in the 1st post here.

Love having H/C Seat Buttons on the screen.

I tried: IPC 720-07-01 xxxx xE5x xxxxto turn on the gauge temps, but the write failed.

For my 2018 Expedition Limited Max I have: 0100 0000 0071

Dennis, thanks for that! Very, very interesting. Based on the current general knowledge of the BCM it would seem you have secure idle enabled as part of the AS-BUILT data. So I have one more favor to ask, next time you're in the truck, please start it as per normal, then get out and put the key fob out of range of the vehicle, return to the drivers seat and see if it lets you shift from park into gear.

Nick,

I was unable to shift out of park and "No key present" message was posted.

Thank you for verifying! That's awesome- you guys with 2018's have Secure Idle set from the factory.

I sure as hell wish we could say the same with the 2017 Expys.

What is secure idle?

If the key leaves the vehicle after it’s already started but still in park it will not shift from park until the key returns to the vehicle. Super handy for those of us with kids in cold climates, among other things.
