ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

[ExpeditionAndy]

Happy New Year guys and gals!

With 31 pages and counting in this threat, I'm too impatient to read through it all, so can someone confirm the FORScan 2015 spreadsheet AllBoostNoEco (thanks dude) posted on Google Docs works module-for-module with the '17? I just received my OBDLink MX yesterday and need to turn off the double honk ASAP (it's freakin' cold outside)!

Can you post a link to it?

This is the one that I have that works if it is the same as one you are referring to you are good to go.

Yep, looks the same — last revised 10.30.17.

Thanks Andy!

Just did some tweaks to my 2017. thanks for the spreadsheet!

I ordered the OBD adapter today. In addition to some tweaks I've seen you all have got working, I'm hoping to be able to tweak the rear HVAC controls. Apparently in upper trim packages, the rear system can be "auto" as well, maybe following the front temp setting. As-is, my kids are too little to control the system themselves via rear controls, so I'm stuck guessing at what is too hot or too cold of a setting and/or fan speeds. I have to uncomfortably try to reach back over the seat and feel the air coming out of the ceiling vent and my wife is too short to reach when she's driving. Not a very family friendly setup...

I also have this problem! I've also found through experience and experimenting that the cold setting uses the ceiling vents but also seems to follow whatever the front is set to, and the heat uses the floor vents in the rear and always blows very hot. I will turn it to full heat when it's freezing but as soon as it warms up a little I'll turn it back to almost all the way cold and it will blow warm-ish air from the ceiling. It's weird.

We just got back from a road trip to Utah, so I spent about 85 total hours in the Expedition this past month (and over 7,500km) so I had plenty of time to mess with it.

Hey, just kidding! Kind of. I decided to look it up in ALLDATA and I found this little nugget.

• The auxiliary climate control system is functional whenever the instrument panel mounted HVAC module is in any mode except OFF.
• The auxiliary blower motor recirculates the air inside the vehicle. Outside air is not available to the auxiliary system.
• Air is cooled and dehumidified by the auxiliary A/C evaporator core only if the front (main) climate control system is operating in a mode that requires A/C compressor operation.
• The temperature blend door and the auxiliary mode door are controlled by electric actuator motors.
• Movement of the auxiliary temperature control between cool and warm causes a corresponding movement of the temperature blend door to mix air flowing through and around the auxiliary heater core.
• Movement of the auxiliary mode control between PANEL and FLOOR causes a corresponding movement of the auxiliary mode door to direct airflow between the panel (headliner) registers and the floor duct.

I keep the A/C off in the winter and that's why warm-ish air comes out of the vents in the headliner. I also always keep the rear fan on at least its lowest setting, to keep things from getting stuffy back there.

Hey guys, has anyone changed their splash screen ? I’d love to change mine to “GT” or “Raptor “ .

I am using the GT350 Logo on the Edge.

Looks great Loki !

I tried it on the Expedition and couldn’t make it work even with the splash screens confirmed on my Sync update. Changing it in FORScan didn’t produce any results.
