Mine is currently set to 5 which I think is the same as 4 but instead with brake coach enabled right?
Yeah if yours is set at 5 then don't bother; I thought it might be set at zero like a '22 Limited VIN I pulled.

What other reasons could itnot be functioning? Could there be any workarounds such as downgrading sync software revisions?

Admittedly haven't read all 43 pages of this thread, but didn't see what I was looking for on the spreadsheet.

My 2016 was programmed via FORScan to if I got out of the truck with it started (not auto-started), and someone got in the truck, they could not shift it out of park with out the key inside.

Example, I get out a gas station but family is still inside with A/C running. Someone decides to get stupid and attempt to get inside my truck and take off. But it won't shift because the key is with me.

By the way, I only do this when there is an adult in there with my kids.

Is that not how it comes from Ford?
I don't think you have to program that function. If the key is not present, the Park-lock is engaged.

It is called Secure Idle and is in the BCM I believe. The 2021+ has it active by default unlike previous years from what I understand. It was active on my truck without modification.

Cool feature, I might have to give this one a try!

I was hoping that this mapping might reveal a timeout clock to keep the recirculate mode running longer or forever. I don’t see anything specific but there are a bunch of”air strategy” options. I suspect it’s buried in those somehow.
I definitely think the fix for that is in the HVAC module. I just need to take the time to do some experimentation.

I found it to be active on my 2018 KingRanch and I didn't program for it.
The only difference in my 2021 is that if I undo my seat belt and open the door with the motor running, it shifts to Park on its own. Obviously the 2018 was an unmotorized shifter and couldn't perform that task for me.

Anyone know if there is a way to adjust the sensitivity of the auto dimming mirrors. I feel like mine get dark for no reason at night and makes it tough to see out of them.

I disabled mine for that exact reason.

The dimming mirrors are self contained and not controlled by the module, so there is nothing in forscan to adjust. The rear view mirror has a front and rear light sensor. The rear view controls the side mirror. Another member reported that the IR sensors used for Blue Cruise appeared to be the cause of it going full dark and staying there. At some point I plan to test a small piece of IR blocking tint over the rear light sensor to see if that makes it operate correctly. I have tinted windows so just having it disabled has worked out fine thus far.

To disable, just disconnect the plug on the back of the rear view mirror. You can partially reinsert the plug, not enough to snap in and make an electrical connection, and avoid any loose hanging wires.

Is it possible to make mirror lights and bed truck light works while in motion by forscan?
Also how to enable DRL when the gear shift in Park position? Because it switch off when I put gear in P.

I've added the mappings from 720-11-01 thru 720-14-02 into the IPC spreadsheet for anyone interested

that’s crazy. The IR for blue cruise is emitting constantly? Anyway here are the wires involved.

Those sensors are defiantly active all of the time. You can catch them with your phone camera.

To be fair I have not personally tested the connection between the sensors and the crappy operation of the auto dimming mirror. It was claimed that taping over the IR sensor resulted in the mirrors operating more as you would expect and properly varying the amount of “dimming”. Obviously taping over the sensor is not a viable long term option if you want to use blue cruise. I would like to try some IR blocking film on the mirrors sensor whenever I get around to it.

Got truck back from dealer this afternoon. Gear box module fixed. Wrench light successfully off of dash and ford app. Dealer also did recall on underneath heat shield. Glad it was all under warranty. Don’t know if I’m going to try forscan again… nervous to jump back in and begin from scratch, even for a simple Bambi mode or disable double honk. Still afraid that is what caused the malfunction / reduced power wrench light to come up in first place…. Any suggestions , comments?
