F150 Lightning FORscan thread

[Mmiketa]

Mine was an issue with the adapter, same module. But it sounds like you have the right adapter. What version of FORScan are you using?

The latest release on their site, v2.3.57. I even checked to make sure the adapter firmware is up-to-date.

Did you try to change the IPMA through the plain english (not as built)? I think all the modules except for the HCM had plain english options. Just a thought, not sure if it would work.

Also, are you writing the individual sections or doing “write all”?

I've tried both individual and the single section needed for the headlights. Do you know what option needs to be enabled for IPMA in plain english?

If you have the green A it worked. They need to be enabled in the setting menu on the truck screen. Then once you are out driving the truck needs to be going over 34mph and be on a dark road without street lights. Think like a back woods road.

Except I know I didn't finish the procedure and I lose the bending function, so I don't think it's working.

I found the high beam option under IPMA normal text and set it to glare free headlights, failed at 8% just like when doing it manually. Not sure what else to try at this point.

Reaching here, but maybe see if there is a firmware update for the OBDLink ex?

I had the same thought earlier, it was already on the latest fw.

I've been trying to get the glare-free headlights to work on my '23 Lariat ER but I am having an issue with the IPMA module failing at 8% every time. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

I am using the OBDLink EX, every other module worked fine. It does show a green A on my dash, but it looks like the bending lights are gone and the high beams didnt activate once last night when I took a test drive.

Chances are you fat fingered something or the "English" updates may have changed something they shouldn't have. While they should be legit, the Forscan experts warn to stay away from and to modify the Hex Values in the As Built.

To say the least restore your back (that you should have taken before modifying the file) and save it. Then start over and make the changes suggested. Post number 1 has the correct info for Glare Free.

That’s not the case at all. As I’ve mentioned, I cannot write IPMA at all so no change ever went through; it cuts out at 8%. I do have a backup but that fails to write as well.

Only other thing I would suggest would be to reach out to Forscan and let them know of the issue. They may have a beta version for you to use. You’ll have to pay for the license which is like $12.

Just to close the loop, i sent the log to FORScan support and they sent me an updated build with the issue resolved. Thanks everyone for your help.

Has there been anyone who got the propulsion sound to work in a Lariat yet?

No. And for the record, I never tried, but many have.

Anybody know if there is a forscan setting that turns on the emergency brake (hand brake) automatically every time the car is put in park?

Even with a 2 degree slope on my driveway, the auto emergency brake does no engage. The only remedy is to open the door before I put the car into park as that is the only way I know how to manually engage the emergency brake but this seems silly.

Is there something wrong with your Parking Brake button near the Headlight control. It's a Push/Pull button/level. One way engages, the other disengages.
