F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

[NeuroDawg]

Well, I don't have the "Glare-free" on/off button on the Lighting screen for starters. I do get the all green glare free symbol.

That happened to me when I programmed my truck. Turns out I had screwed up the APIM settings, mistyping a setting in the wrong place. It took me a couple times through to spot the error. If you need a second set of eyes, download your APIM settings and show the file here (it's a plain-text file that's quite easy to read).

Before this goes sideways: I am an adult that does wear a seat belt when on the road. I however spend time in the hay/cattle fields as well as have a 1/4 mile long driveway where I don't wear them.

Disclaimer: Not my work, I pulled this from a Maverick forum here, which seems to be pulled from a Super Duty forum. Thanks to the guys that figured this out.

I don't like the seat belt graphics that pop up when someone unbuckles. I tried the owners manual method at least a dozen times to no avail, but that was after disabling chimes so maybe that's why it didn't work.

Anyway I went looking for a Forscan solution and turns out the Maverick guys figured it out for their vehicles. I figured I'd give it a shot and it worked on my 24 Flash.

DISABLE SEATBELT INFORMATION SCREEN
1. Open IPC AS BUILT
2. Change line 720-13-01 and 720-13-02 to ALL ZEROS. And WRITE the changes. Click yes to let Forscan correct the checksum.
3. Change line 720-14-01 and 720-14-02 to ALL ZEROS. And WRITE the changes. Click yes to let Forscan correct the checksum.

This also disables all chimes according to the Maverick post but I already had those disabled so I can't confirm that point.

Once this is done and working there is ZERO indication of seat belts, NONE, not even the little red person with seat belt on.

Note that I had to write the data a couple of times. The first time there are a couple of blocks that are not editable, but after you write the ones that are editable the non-editable blocks become editable and you can then zero them out and write again.

If I'm reading the Livitup spreadsheet correctly it looks like all zeros in these lines makes the truck think that there are no seats installed

Yeah, good point. I did verify my seat heaters and power seats still work on both sides.

If I have time I'll play a bit with those values and see if the " without Buckle Sensor" values work

I got @Karlos back on track. Just needed a second set of eyes!

When I park my lightning the lights stay on for 10 minutes. I screwed something up. How do I fix it.

Restore your ForScan backups.

You did make backups, right?

Nope, I’m looking for the code for this

When I park my lightning and walk away from it, the headlights stay on for 10 minutes. I wanna shorten that down to like a minute.

Did you make changes that caused this behavior? If so, which module did you make changes to? If you "screwed something up" as your post says, what line in Forscan did you "screw up"? You have to go back to that line and change the value, based on the values in the spreadsheet. Use this spreadsheet to figure out what you did and what your stock values should be:

Livitup Forscan spreadsheet

Best practice is to make backups before you make any changes in forscan so that you can always restore your original values.

If you can't figure out what you did, there is an option in forscan to download as-built data that may help you restore some normal settings, or it may not. I have no experience doing that.

I figured it out and saved the original profile

Glad you recovered. I'm not familiar with that parameter. The spreadsheet doesn't explain the difference between Options A and B.

Yes you did !! Last night I went thru the same process on my 2022 LER, got the buttons and the Glare Free to work without any issues, but I was getting "Reverse Brake Assis not available" message. Went back thru everything this morning, then read a post that this could be a temporary issue that would resolve itself after a bit of driving. Sure enuf, that message has disappeared and all appears well with the 2022 LER as well.

Now if we could just get Sport Mode to stay on .....

Thanks again !!

Which setting in BCM in the text version do I need to change for global open and close windows?
