ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

[HockeyPuck99]

What is the most recent spreadsheet on the 17 expy forscan codes? Also, I am wanting to have my parking lights for drls, what would be the correct code for line 726-11-01. The printout I have seen only shows 50% low beam, Fog Lights and Turn signals. Also, according to spreadsheet I have seen would show changing 726-12-01 for parking lights. And what is DRL lock on line 726-49-01, or what is the function of a drl lock?

Here is a link to the most updated spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...TKARDo2Y7lfSOMFj6Gott8g7yg/edit#gid=617147144

I haven't had a chance to look at the spreadsheet to see if it has the answers to your other questions, so go ahead and take a look. I hope this helps.

Thanks HockeyPuck. I do wish someone could answer what the function of DRL Lock is though.

You guys wondering what DRL LOCK is....this was posted some pages back by AllBoostNoEco. Side note, if you really want to learn about ForScan and all the vernacular, you have to read through the entire thread like the rest of us. Learn to fish people. In regards to number 1. DRL Lock does work on the 15-17 Expedition. I can personally 100% verify that, as it took me weeks to get it shut off when I added my HID retrofits. The caveat is that it only works to turn the lock “off”, activating it in a vehicle not factory equipped does nothing. And there’s no reason for it, as all it does is prevent the DRLs from being shutoff in a vehicle that came with them originally. In the future, if someone who bought an ex-fleet truck (i.e., a rental) wanted to turn them off, they absolutely must change this line in the BCM in order to do so. Perhaps what is needed is a note: If you HAVE factory-activated DRLs, this allows you to shut them off. If you do NOT have factory-activated DRLs, then this line serves no function.”

When you turn on the parking lights for DRLs you also have the tail lights come on. That was the reason that I switched to the fogs as DRL.

Thanks on the parking lights for DRLs. I think I might still use the parking lights for DRLs then I will use switchback leds for life. I have been through this entire post twice and sometimes an issue is not directly answered or not sure if I miss something after 55 pages. At my age the memory might not catch everything I'm looking for. LOL

I can relate to that. I have the same problem. I've been on this since the beginning and can't begin to say all of the things that were discuss, but I can mostly remember the ones that I was interested in.

In one of the settings, and I can't remember, which one now. I could get the parking lights to come on without the tail lights but they were amber. If I did the parking lights setting, I had the white switchbacks on but the LED tail lights that I install were also on and I didn't want them to always be on. So that was why I settled for the fog lights as the DLRs.

Do you have to wait till the forscan license expires to renew it, and if not how many days before expiration can it be renewed

 

[paracaidista319]

For 2017 EL XLT 4X4
I can verify that factory trailer brake control PN: FL1Z-2C006-D is activated with
720-07-01 xxxx x8xx xxxx
Gain control in screen activated with
720-04-01 xx4x xxxx xxxx

wire harness is capped on the back of the driver's side cubby under 4X4 switch, pull cubby, plug wire harness, insert TBC, apply coding changes.
Capped wire in 4 pin connector harness at rear is brake wire.

Haven't tried on my 2012 SWB XLT non- US model, yet, but I plan to

I was wondering if anyone here has been having an issue downloading the forscan license renewal. When I go to open it Adobe Reader says it can not open or file was damaged or attachment on email could not be decoded. I am able to download but cannot open.

Try forwarding it to a Gmail account. Gmail sometimes fixes these issues in their webmail.

Let me know if it works. The 720-04-01 address exists in my As-Built but the 720-07-01 doesn't. I would 100% do this mod if I had the part, and I knew the harness was there under the dash (but I bet it isn't.)

 

[paracaidista319]

I know that for the 2012 the wiring is either taped above the OBD2 port (usually w/ a cap) or behind the trim piece under the climate controls where it meets the center console, it should exist in your car. Mine is a Panama market model and it is there. The controller is a different part number than the 2017, and you will need a trim part.

 

[paracaidista319]

deweysmith, on your 2012 it should be:
720-01-01 xxxx 7xxx xxxx
for TBC, no other mods needed
will try it on mine when I get the chance

 

[old codger]

I also found out from the 150 forum that you can't renew forscan until the current one expires. If anyone knows anything about that let me know. I will try to forward to my gmail to see if that takes care of the problem. Thanks!

720-01-01 xxxx xxx8 xxxx
Adds user suspension settings to IP menu under advanced

That has been my experience.

 

[thesavo]

That has been my experience.

Mine always seems to be expired when I go to use it. Renewal is fast. Usually, I quickly tether to my phone, generate a new software key and drop offline.

Muddy - do you know the specific code/line for the DRL Lock function?

I understand it's BCM 726-49-01, but the characters I saw posted earlier didn't look right, so I didn't include this in our latest spreadsheet.

If you (or anyone else) can give me more info I'll update our spreadsheet.

Thanks.

 

[East-TN]

Spreadsheet updated with the following:

Trailer Brake Controller - Activate
Trailer Brake Controller - Gain Display
User Suspension Settings on IPC

Thanks to paracaidista319. Awaiting further info on DRL Lock...will add that to spreadsheet once the line is clarified.

Also - side note: if you haven't already, recommend you modify your signature to display what vehicle you have. This helps everyone understand which vehicle you are discussing and the specifics for that vehicle. (you can edit your signature by placing your cursor over your username in the upper right corner of the screen, then select signature...or just click on your username in the upper right corner and then choose signature.)

Thanks.

From what I’ve found in my earlier posts regarding the DRL Lock.

DRL Lock:
