Can Forscan be used to tune?

I have a 2017 Expy with a Pedal Commander. All the Pedal Commander does is trick the Drive By Wire and set the position of the throttle body based on your preference.

Could forscan be used to set the position as well?

As you discovered, Nope. FORSCAN is not a tuning device or software.

Pedal commander has nothing to do with the throttle body. The pedal/throttle “Enhancing” devices, just interrupt the voltage signal sent to the ECM from the TPS(Throttle Position Sensor), and send more or less voltage depending on settings. So if stock the TPS sends say .8 at 5% throttle, and you have the pedal commander in Sport, it might send the ECM .9 or 1.0. Therefore tricking the ECM into thinking you demanded more throttle. They can also take the Full throttle delay out.
