F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

[moodinsk]

My DSP module Strategy Code is ML8T-14C589-AD

Here is what my forscan says, being new to all of this, I am not sure how that might affect things, but mine is clearly different

DSP - (Audio) Digital Signal Processing Module
Part number: RL3T-18B849-GC
Calibration level: RL3T-18B849-GC
Strategy : RL3T-14C589-GC

I can see my glare free matrix headlights working to block around oncoming traffic but they don’t seem like brights in the Green “A” auto lamps setting, do I need to pull the stalk until the blue brights indicator is on? Alternatively is the matrix feature fairly lackluster? I’m just not sure if it’s working as intended, I think I liked the original auto high beam better.

Your vehicle's Glare-Free Lighting system automatically turns on (if equipped) if the following circumstances occur:

• You set the lighting control to the autolamps position.
• The outside light level is low enough.
• Your vehicle speed is greater than approximately 52 km/h. (32.3 mph)

Definitely different. Here is mine:

I really don’t understand why Ford includes all these cool little things in the software, but does not make them active???
Any thoughts?

I think many of them are not on our trucks because of Ford Legal. They alter the vehicle in a way that doesn't match country-specific rules (glare-free) or may be considered unsafe (chimes, full view warning, DRL brightness, tire size, HSW temp, etc.).

Some aren't perfect like Lincoln mirrors as they have bugs and aren't made for our particular model.

But a few would indeed be welcome (Silent Mode, Beosonic). Maybe they have bugs we haven't discovered. ?‍

Yep for sure. I was looking at the spreadsheet values as well and they seem to match

I'm definitely not comfortable enough to start messing with different values. I guess I will wait to see if any other 24 Flash owners have this issue or not.

Question:
Truck is at Ford for BECM problem . I was told yesterday that they are reprogramming/ updating. Will the Forscan changes that were made be the same or revert back to original?

Kind of depends on what they actually have to do to fix it!

Finally got to really test out glare free last night and it is pretty cool, but it was really freaking out when I went through a construction zone and there were reflectors on the concrete barriers along the side of the road. It would turn on and then see the reflection and turn back off, kind of hood high on the driver side.

I have the same experience. It’s “cool” but with oncoming traffic, just seems like low beams all around. Then when it’s clear it slowly turns on high beams.

This might be the dumbest post of the day, but I just realized the Forscan licensing quirk that might be worth publishing.

A year ago, Forscan would email you the two-month activation key after making the request on their website. I sat waiting most of the day yesterday to receive the email but nothing came through. I decided to read the webpage where the request gets made and noticed this key phrase;

" The Extended License key will NOT be sent by email. Instead, you will be able to download the license key on this page as soon as the generation process is completed, by reloading the result page or by resubmitting the form using the same data. "

So, just stay on the webpage after making the request, and keep clicking refresh.

As Dad used to say "you have a wonderful grasp of the obvious"

Has anyone been able to get all the cameras available at speed? I made the FORSCAN changes, making sure to not disable 1pd, but I just have these.

Here's a screenshot of the menu that I am seeing with the below settings:

APIM 7D0-01-01 xxx9 xxxx xx--
DSP 783-01-01 xx1x xx--

Tapping either of them does nothing at all. No beeps or button interactions.

Any thoughts?

This was my experience with Beosonic as well. '22 Platinum

What does FORScan show as the part/strategy/configuration numbers for your DSP (see post 47)? You can use FORScan Windows or the free FORScan viewer app on your phone to see these numbers.

I have no idea what this means.

Window sticker says I should have "Forward Sensing System" i.e. proximity sensors on front bumper. My last discussion regarding this problem was moved to another thread. I've broken out the old windows lap top, loaded up FORScan, bought a dongle and am ready to ruin my new truck. Can you tell me if I'm approaching this correctly.

First the wiring diagram shows all proximity sensors front, and rear all go to the IPMA module, so I looked over livinitup's spreadsheet dated this year and found the bottom tab for IPMA 2024. I started down looking for anything with the text "Cnfg_PA" thinking this would be all parameters associated with Parking Assist. It was basically all in 706-02-01. Still pretty opaque, but I compared it to my As-Built Data to see if I could make some sense of it. I came away pretty confused. I guess I'm looking for a methodical approach to discover how to recognize the sensors and enable the features and I feel more like I'm about to become a monkey banging on a typewriter. I feel pretty confident I could perform the actions others have discovered, but I think this may be virgin territory (adding front sensors). I did read the thread of the fellow who added radar, etc, so I'll go re read that. Can someone point me in the right direction.
