F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

[bc1]

If you're not using BlueCruise, you can just turn off lane centering.

I'm trying that and will see if it stops the hold the steering wheel warning. I can turn it on if I get on the interstate.

Also found a switch to turn on automatic move away from a vehicle next to me which is handy to have on.

Also saw a line for speed limit assist and tolerance which I didn't know about. Changed the tolerance from 0 to 10 over and was driving along in adaptive cruise for a couple miles and all of a sudden it jumped up from the cruise control set at 65 to match the speed limit to 75 mph.

I stopped and changed the tolerance to 3 over and found it worked well and replaced my manual changes with the cruise control settings while driving in one pedal mode so I didn't have to lift my foot when entering a 45 mph zone at the edge of town. It automatically changed the cruise control setting as I entered city streets with different speed limits. I typically drive at 3 over except on the interstate which is 5 over and I don't get stopped.

That was all under the Driver Assistance screen on the 15" sync screen under and around the Adaptive Cruise option.

Now all I need is a drive while snoozing/napping button and I'm all set for a trip. Or at least a button to drive while gawking and rubber necking at other things rather than looking at the road.

No lane centering on my pro and I still occasionally get the "keep hands on wheel" alert.

Not sure. Probably a difference in model years. My '25 Flash does not give me "Keep hands on wheel" warnings when Lane Centering is disabled. I double-checked yesterday. Was doing 45 mph in town with cruise set on a long stretch and it didn't say a word.

Fwiw, did the speedometer calibration (tire size) yesterday and recieved the P160 dtc. This was from the as built method, not the easy method. Using the forscan function for the PCM fixed it. I dont remember the exact name but it was on the same screen where we pick a module for as built changes, not the service functions page.

This is discussed in the thread linked from the tire size section of the first post here although the fix would be a nice add to the first post.

Thanks, I expanded the text some and gave a more specific path to the fix. Thanks for posting a screenshot of the exact procedure at that link.

I was looking for your AsBuilt compare program, forgot the name, but knew it was you. I’d like to suggest you add a link to the program and/or relevant thread in your signature, like mine has the Forscan mods link.

Great reminder, thanks!

I did the remote windows up/down forscan mod about a year ago on my 2023 f150 Lightning Lariat, and in the past few months, I assume post an update from Ford, it stopped working. Today I finally got around to getting Forscan back up, and now when I scan it can't find the PDM, APIM, nor BCM modules to update. It finds finds them all, allows me to reboot them, but not to actually configure. Has anyone seen this happening? I tried to rescan with a fresh profile and everything. Help!

Thanks guys for this awesome thread! Jumped into the deep end ands worked through about 2/3 of these fixes! Next up: FDRS to install the long list of pending updates. Thanks to @rugedraw for helping we figure out my Bluecruise issues!

If you have a paid subscription to forscan (or purchase one for this issue) I believe that you can contact them through the help section. It's either through Forscan on your computer or on their website, I can't recall specifically. You send them some info on your issue and have a log file that you attach and then they send you an updated forscan version to try out.

I did this when I couldn't program something (I forget what it was exactly) but I had a working beta version of forscan about a week later and then that became the newest release a couple weeks after that.
