I've used Forscan Lite for Android with my previous Expedition to see all kinds of data. Haven't tried it with my current one.

I am fixing to buy FORSCAN immediately and have some questions as to my platform:
1) 2001 and 2013 Expedition's with drivability problems and ABS problems
2) Win10 Toshiba Laptop Intel Atom 32 bit OS (note 32 BIT not 64 Bit)
What versions of FORSCAN are recommended and what OBDII interface? I was hoping for BT but it seems only USB is supported? What are recommended vendors for SW and interface as I am in the US.

I have a 2017 XLT, buried down in the service menus I can find transmission temp. I also use FORSCAN running under WINE on Fedora . Adapter is a OBDlinkEX which is a USB connection. FORSCAN is a great application for trouble shooting and repair.

Inova 5610 read my transmission temp my brother has.. My BlueDriver doesn’t read it.. I was going to ask them if they could add it on BlueDriver…

OK I have answered most of my own questions. I bought this USB adapter and downloaded the free FORSCAN for Windows. It seems to be installing properly in my small 32 bit Toshiba notebook. I don't think I need the extended version yet. Tomorrow I will start with my ABS codes in my 2013 and then the driveability problem with my 2001. I feel like a dummy for not doing this much sooner. Wish me well.
There are BT versions of FORSCAN for IOS and Android that use a different (BT) adaptor if you want an APP. I may do that as well for the portability.
