NEW version of FORScan

[Mr Big]

There is a newer version of FORScan, (2.3.66), that supports up to 2025 Expeditions. With that said, I have not tried it on any models over 2022 yet.
Update:
Just successfully finished making a few mods on 4 2025 Expeditions. New owners be careful. Since the new Forscan has not been fully tested. So, I suggest not modding anything you can't do by just selecting from a menu, like in the AS-Built section. If you want to attempt to change hex codes from previous Generations, make sure you first backup before changing hex codes then again every time you make a single modification. This way if something goes wrong, you have a starting point to go back to, instead of having to start over.

I used it on my tremor and was able to shut off auto stop/start, fogs on with high beams and fogs stay on at shut off and on with drl.

So you gonna post your how to or just keep secrets for yourself?

Post how to about what? Do you know what Forscan is?
Since you are new, do you know how to search? Or do you just want to save time, having someone post what you need, then insult people who forgot, by posting insults and insulting pics, when they don't give you what you want, and then expect to be helped at all?
If I was a moderator, I would give you a warning. You obviously haven't read the rules.

I got a cloudflare error opening this thread. Was there a link to forscan that got scrubbed?

No, it's easy to search for the website.

No, it's easy to search for the website.

I have both a 2001 and 2013 Expy. Is the new version backward compatible to those. For example there is a link to (CYAN LABS: Ford/Licoln AsBuilt Configuration Databases
) databases and when I go there it is all 2015 and newer. Am I missing something?

 

[sanman28]

post how to about what? Do you know what Forscan is?

Can you read? He is responding to the troll that keeps saying he was able to shut off auto stop via forscan. As we have asked the troll, numerous times, please post the modules you changed and the changes made. So far nothing. There is no 2025 expy spreadsheet of changes yet.

I read fine. And if you want people's help you shouldn't insult by using name calling.
It's It's very easy to shut off auto stop. However, since it's tied to the BMS, it's not a good idea to do so. So, I never post how to do it, because it can cause negative issues. However, the process is easily searchable and posted here and on other Ford forums.

I'm not sure but the website has a details page explaining the new version and what it supports.

@sanman28 is absolutely correct. This guy is bragging everywhere about how he shut off auto start/stop, but offers no specifics. "It's very easy to shut off auto stop," may have been true in your 4th Gen Expedition, but you posted this in the 5th Gen forum. My simple question to you is, have you used Forscan to shut off auto start/stop in a 5th Gen without causing error messages?

I asked if you can read. Name calling would be referring to you as the illiterate person/poster. Now back on the subject. Do you have actual forscan changes, that you can share, for a 5th gen expy that will turn off auto start stop? Not cryptic language or vague references to Google searches. The other guy said his didn’t result codes or CEL’s….but he failed to tell anybody what changes he made, rather, he does the same thing as you…..cryptic talk, google search, site search. Complete garbage posts.

If I was a moderator, I would give you a warning. You obviously haven't read the rules.

I've read that in a couple threads now.

You are white knighting for the guy who continues to post that he has successfully modified his ECM to disable auto stop/start on a '25 Epy with NO errors or lights or any other adverse effects. Obviously many of us would like to do the same, and that is 100% consistent with the purpose of this forscan subforum.

That guy is being obtuse and likely disingenuous. If the mod currently exists, why shroud it in mystery? Why come here, tell everyone it can be done (easily according to you, albeit fraught with danger), then refuse to provide the steps? That's not how it works here or any other forum dedicated to a group of people with shared interests looking for solutions. My experience is that people with common interests are eager to share their stories, results, pictures, etc. Hence discussion boards.

I call BS. And I know, if you were a moderator, I suppose you would give me a warning. For the record there is no 'insult' in this post, explicit or implied. Discourse often has alternative viewpoints, contrary opinions, debate, doubt, even pushback. That is normal, healthy communication between adults as they sort through various topics of interest.

YES, 4 times so far.

I agree 100%. But to call someone a liar when one does not even know them, or tries to belittle a forum participant, by posting accusations and basically demanding one post the information requested or they're a liar, (your quote "guy is being obtuse and likely disingenuous", "I call it BS"). No one has to post information if they don't want to. I won't post the mod because it is dangerous and causes other features to not function correctly, especially the BMS. But you feel it is necessary, more than likely because, since you don't know how to do it, you don't want to bother wasting the time researching how to learn to do it.
Beware of following some stranger's advice, without the knowledge of whether it will work 100%, cause side effects or brick your entire system.

 

[sanman28]

I certainly hope that nobody thinks they are being called a lier or being belittled. Not the intent. The request for specific info was/is simple. The responses have been entirely evasive and non-specific. I guess if you don’t have a post that helps with the specifics, don’t reply in that subject. A link to a forscan spreadsheet that was used with success, or the specific BCMs etc to change and what to change them to…..is all that is needed.
Best regards

 

[iaazan]

Why would you need to turn off the AutoStart/Stop four different times?

Your words could be construed as insulting and condescending: "Can you read? He is responding to the troll. As we have asked the troll", "he does the same thing as you…..cryptic talk, google search, site search. Complete garbage posts".
Request is the key word. Attacking someone for not wanting to post something is not very nice. There are many forum members that have done many mods to their Expeditions and don't always share the procedure. They just say they did it. That doesn't mean they are liars or rude. I'm not posting any mods until I'm sure they don't cause other issues. Besides, the As-Built mode in the latest version has many to choose from and is way safer at this time.
Back to topic:
As far as I know there are no spreadsheets or videos available. There is chatter about other mods, some for other 2025 models.
I've performed several mods so far. When you run Forscan it reads your system and brings in the modules. The As-Built ones are usually safe to change. With that said, the absolute safe way is only to use As-Built and others that you can choose from a window that opens a list of choices. At the risk of malfunctioning, do not use the other mode where you manually change hex digits, until it is absolutely safe to do so, as they are not possibly compatible for your model, where the As-Built ones should be.

Jeeze dude. You going to list the modules changed or not? Are you referencing a spreadsheet from another ford? Which one?
