F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

[rugedraw]

Javier, thanks! I've been snorfling (yeah that's a technical term) thru the LIVINITUP spreadsheet as well this morning, in module sequence also starting with the DDM. Hadn't yet gotten to the IPMA or the IPC... after the BCM I needed a break

I actually hadn't thought of the IPC for this. In my experience, the IPC settings add a telltale but often do not exert control over other modules' functions... go figure. I will check this section's settings out.

I agree 100%. However, I can tell you that certain things if not enabled in the IPC won't work even if all the IPC config does is tell you the function is on or off. I also think it is unlikely that this change alone will get it to work, but painless enough to try it.

Anyone know how to turn on AUTO DIM mode on outside mirror glass, on an XLT which originally came with non-dimming mirrors?

It appears the electrochromatic (EC) or dimming function gets a signal (EC+, EC-) from the interior rear view mirror. Basically, when the rear view mirror senses a need to dim, it sends a signal to the driver door mirror.

You need to have an interior dimming rear view mirror and the EC+, EC- wires from the rear view mirror to the door mirror. Nothing you can do with FORScan. See attached schematic for connectors and wire colors you can look for.

RGR - my truck has that central mirror auto-dimming function from the factory and it works.

This is why I was about to start investigating the well-known Ford Corporate habit of cheaping out i.e. to see whether Ford skipped on some small wiring connection between the door module and the side mirror connector... Your schematic will help in tracing the pinouts.

Here is the connector at the mirror C521. You need pins 2 and 6 to be populated.

Disclaimer: All my advice here is for the 2023 model year (OP's truck). Other years could be different.

BMWHITETX, a question: where in the truck body / dash area can I find Connectors C510 and C903 as I step my way through this wiring loom to complete this mod?

I see and understand the pin locations, and I assume that the C919 connector already has these auto-dimming wires and pretty much is the back-of-interior mirror connector... based on my previous Ford other car mods the missing wires are almost certainly missing further down the circuit line, likely ending at the C510 connector or possibly at the C903 connector.

Thanks in advance!

I'll DM you, lots of pics. Please report back here on your findings.

I would still check the mirror connector. I remember it is pretty easy to get to, I used it to power my dash cam.

Here's a fun one. @bmwhitetx this should get added to the first post in this thread.

Enabling 2024 Feature - Pro Power Onboard Outlets w/ Truck Off

Both changes in APIM.

As long as the truck is fully updated in FDRS you should be able to do this pretty easy

Set
7D0-10-03
XXXX XX2X XXxx

7D0-10-04
XXXC XXXX XXxx

tHAT SHOULD ENABLE THE SWITH to leave outlets on. That should be all you need to do.

Have you tried this? My truck is fully up-to-date thanks to a dealer who thought that was a good way to troubleshoot a bad battery module. This seems like a nice feature.

Can confirm it works on my 23. You can see the little orange light by my laptop charger with the truck off.

Always like to confirm FORScan changes before adding to post 1. So looking at my database of As-Builts:

7D0-10-03 xxxx xx2x xx--
All 22-23's have a 0, all 24-25's have a 2.
So you would be changing 0 to 2. According to the 24 spreadsheet, this enables "PPO Outlets On in Vehicle Off State".

7D0-10-04 xxxC xxxx xx--
Almost all 22-23's have a 4, most 24's have a C and 25's have a E.
So you would change 4 to C. According to the 24 spreadsheet, this changes "PPO Utility Idle" from Version 1 (MY23 and earlier) to Version 2 (MY24 and beyond).
If your 22-23 has a 0 that means the Sync feature to Record Feedback is disabled. This was an OTA you likely didn't get.
EDIT: The difference between C and E is that 2025's also have the Advanced Charging Screen. So if your existing value is 6, then you change to E not C

Note that Jesse says the the truck should be fully updated. I will wait for several 22-23's to confirm the toggle appears AND the functionality works before adding to my Forscan mods page. If it doesn't work, you might check your Sync version (Settings..General..About Sync). I think the most current is 25094. I would imagine there might be another module or two that is also needed.

Reminder, this does not apply to 2024 and newer. You already have this!

hmm...looks like I should maybe change mine to E. My 7D0-10-04 value was a 6 (changed from 4 to add the enhanced charge screen). Guessing changing it to C probably broke the enhanced charge screen. Would make sense due to the 25's having E and the enhanced charging screen along with PPO when off.

Yeah, I agree - C would have disabled the charging screen. The public spreadsheet doesn't show E but Jesse provided it here. Might scan that thread just to be sure. I'm updating my note above.

Yep works on mine. I’ve never done FDRS updates but my truck did take a visit to the dealer in June for contactor issues and warranty items which included an IPMA update. No clue if they updated everything while they had it in there or not.

@bmwhitetx - I set mine to E to see if I could enable the enhanced charging settings but since I have the 12” screen nothing happened yet. I’ve left it at E just in case Ford pushes whatever update is needed for the 12” screens.

What’s interesting is I had a 0 there but I’ve always had Record Feedback. Wonder if I’ve been yelling into the void

 

[Blochead21]

Can confirm this added the switch for me as well on my 12”.

On a side note is Forscan causing Windows to crash and blue screen repeatedly for anyone else? I tried the current version and my previous version and it crashes the majority of the time.
