F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

[bmwhitetx]

Noob on FORScan here. How do you find this info you posted about DSP Module Strategy using FORScan? Thanks.

I wrote a small tutorial here. I wrote instructions for phone apps like CarScanner, Forscan viewer (free), or Forscan Lite (paid but worth it). Or you can use Forscan Windows (free license is fine) with a wired dongle.

Quick update - got an OTA (with no release notes, might be due to the truck being in Norwegian now ) and after this I can activate lane change and still get lane center active - haven’t seen lane change actually work yet but at least it’s not bricking lane center assist!

In regards to this, it will not work over there. I have tried many times with the Mach E's to get lane change to work over there, but the changes that work for US vehicles do not work over there. It could be that the software in the GWM does not support lane change, or the IPMA software for Euro spec vehicles does not include the events for lane change assist. Or, it could be something else. I don't know why it won't work over there, but AFAIK, it is not possible. At least not yet.

Send me the VIN. I'll look into it later.

Thank you so much for this info. I have FORScan (Windows version) and OBDLink EX dongle. I will give that method a whirl when I get him this evening. Thanks again bmwhitetx.

Got your message. Strange that it appear as a no-name update. OTA dashboard shows it is the regular BC 1.4 update every one gets.

I do see something wrong with your config that is most likely preventing lane change assist from working. Do you have FORScan?

The no name OTA might be because the APIM is in Norwegian?

Thanks a lot! Yes I do.

So no euro-adjusted by the dealer then?

Do your tail-lights blink? I can’t get mine to do so.

No euro adjustments have been done (except using FORScan to enable Norwegian language and swapping the cellular modem so the app and OTA updates work). The truck is registered under the §5-3 exemption, as far as I know, that’s the only way to get the Extended Range battery with 5 seats as a regular car without the C1 speed limitations etc. That also means I get to keep the original red tail-light blinkers, which is explicitly approved and written in the registration papers.

Cool, have you tested BlueCruise in Sweden? They are enabled for BC

Not yet, will try during the autumn break, can report back here, it looks like it should work now

Quick question for anyone who’s dealt with region changes: Do you need to factory reset SYNC/APIM after switching regions, and more importantly, will that wipe out all my FORScan changes?

Here’s my situation: I’ve got almost everything working perfectly after my region change, but I’m hitting one snag. I purchased and activated European connected navigation through the FordPass app, and while it shows as active in the app, it’s still showing as deactivated in the vehicle itself (been a couple days now).

My theory is that since I initially paired my phone while the region was set to US, the APIM might need a fresh connection established while in the correct European region. But obviously if a factory reset is going to nuke all my FORScan modifications, that’s not worth it for one feature.
Anyone dealt with this specific scenario? Is there a way to refresh the connected services without losing the good stuff, or am I overthinking this and there’s a simpler fix?

Thanks in advance - this community has been incredibly helpful with my previous questions!

Hey y'all, I'm looking for some help too. I recently retrofitted my cameras with turn lamps and puddle lamps. I made the forscan changes here (see post #2) and the turn lamps and four-zone lighting are working great. However, my puddle lamps aren't working. You can find more info about this in my post on that same thread (post #3). Any ideas what the issue may be?

- Since neither of the puddle lamps are working I doubt it is a wiring issue, unless I got the pins wrong for both of them?
- I doubt the puddle lamps themselves are bad since what are the odds both would be malfuctioning "out of the box"?
- So I think I might have a Forscan issue. When making the forscan changes I followed the #2 post on the thread I linked above exactly.

Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated!
