2019 Expy Forscan

if youre idling in PARK for extended periods of time I dont believe the autostop eliminator or forscan will prevent the shut down....the shut down (while idling) is a timer.

Yes, you’re right there. I thought his original question was about auto stop, but I think it was related to idle in his context like you’re saying. It won’t turn off if the ignition is on will it? Just when remotely started and the ignition is not yet turned on right?

So for the Auto Off above that the wife is concerned about...

3 Things.

1) Remote Start - If it was remote started, 15 per remote start is the default factory setting, with a max of 30 minutes regardless of how many times you do it. So if your remote start is set at 5 minutes, you can extend it 6 times, to get to 30. This can be done via remote, or app. After the 30 is exceeded, you have to start it with key within range via button or ignition.

2) Idle Limit - Mine set at 60 minutes, but can't remember if it was stock set to that, or changed via FORSCAN. Vehicle shuts off after that amount of time idling. To reset that timer, place in drive or reverse for a sec and that clock starts again. You can also turn it off in settings per start up. Not sure if FORSCAN can turn it completely off, but pretty sure that is a yes.

3) Auto Start/Stop - Driving, come to a stop, engine turns off. Button can turn it off per start cycle. Sport Mode also turns it off. The AutoStopEliminator above makes the button setting hold across startups. It is the correct way to do it. Doing it in FORSCAN isn't really turning it off. It is turning off Battery Charge Management, which causes the battery to be charged at full voltage all the time(Not good). With that off the vehicle does not Auto Stop because it does not know the status of the battery there fore it won't turn it off for fear of not being able to start back up.

theres an advanced setting, remote start (iirc) set the remote start/idle time out to 5, 10 or 15 minutes.
you can not increase it more than 30 minutes (a restart will be required after 30min).

you can extend the idle time w/ the remote too.

I didn’t think that would solve this. It needs to be disabled for good so as to not bake a kid by accident. Wife wants to sell the car in fear of this.

I first got into FORScan solely to learn how to turn the Auto S/S off. After some research, it seems like doing this within the vehicle’s code settings also turns off other necessary functions, most importantly the battery level sensor (Auto SS won’t activate if the battery is low).

I used forscan to do some other great stuff, but ended up buying an Auto S/S eliminator to hard wire a solution that can be easily installed or removed, and still functions if desired.

use the code “F150FORUM” and you’ll get 15% off I believe.

does that turn off auto engine off? I don’t think it does. A start stop is a good feature anyway.

I haven’t seen an idle limit selection so I bet you found a line of code to change. At least 60 minutes would probably make this a tiny chance of a real tragedy.

was reading elsewhere that the manual override will actually only bring up a prompt to extend the time, not turn the ******** off for good on that cycle. Damn.

anyone have an updated code to turn the fake engine noise off in version 2.3.42? mine 727-01-01 is already set to "0"

This thread is for 2019. There should be a 2020 thread.

I've started updating mine. Some codes have worked, some I have not tried yet - when looking at the default values and some of the google spread sheets put out by others, some default values don't line up. so have been hesitant to change too many things.

So far Coolant and trans temperature over gauges,and disable fake engine noise has worked.
IPC 720-07-01 xxxx xE5x xxxx
ACM 727-01-01 xxxx x0xx ***


Stock value for heated/cooled seats with HSW isn't what I expected, or documented as a normal value in spread sheets - so I have not changed that. Next time around I'll be looking at doing 3 ding at start up, panic alarm set to two pressens, and bambi mode.

Disable Fake Engine Noise??? WTF!

 

[Amamas2010]

Which code is which?




on my '17 super duty -

I disabled:
Double horn honk (occurs when you exit running truck w/ key in pocket).
Drivers seatbelt warning (left all other seat belt warnings on)

I ENABLED:
Numbers over Gauges
Bambi mode (driving/fog lights on w/ high beams)
Remove Sirus Option from infotainment (the day the free trial ran out)

Lower TPMS pressure (i run 55psi, factory minimum was 65psi)
Heated & Cooled Seat Icons on Home Screen (infotainment system / center of dash).
Increased power point time out after engine off (was 15min) to 4 hours (can make them hot all the time)
Turn signal flash increase to 5 flashes (quick lane change/short press of turn signal) - was 3 flashes

These items aren't necessary on the Expy but I also enabled:

Heated Steering Wheel control on Home Screen
Global Window Close (can close windows w/ remote/fob)
Add DPF filter % full (gauge)

Can I get videos for these configurations or learning videos . Because I bought OBDlink EX but I cant apply these Mod
