F150 Lightning FORscan thread

[B177y]

Can anyone confirm if the latest available FORSCAN version 2.3.63 can communicate with 2023 Lightings? I tried to edit some settings months ago but forscan was unable to communicate with the truck. I know at the beginning of the thread it says to contact forscan for a beta version, but thats 2022 info.

When you say "communicate", I think that has more to do with having a quality OBD adapter that is recommend by ForScan and a working laptop.

I have a 2024 Pro. ForScan communicated through my adapter and allowed me to make some changes to modules, but it wouldn't write my changes to the IPMA module. I had to get a test version of ForScan, and that version has worked on all of my module changes so far.

So, you may have "communication", but could also need to troubleshoot and get a test version of ForScan through their customer service. Most trucks work just fine with ForScan, sometimes you get lucky and have the truck that needs an update to ForScan.

So I am taking my '22 Lariat ER in Tuesday for the front park sensor and charge cord sticking customer satisfaction campaigns. Over a year ago I enabled glare free matrix lights, Lincoln fold mirrors and seatbelt chime disabled with Forescan. Do I need to backup all my modules before I take it in?

At some point I plan to reverse the Lincoln fold mirrors as it disables the puddle lights and enable walk away lock and side cameras on with blinkers if that ever becomes an option without a trailer connected.

Probably always good to make a backup...

I backup my original (aka as-built) settings and then backup all changes with file names of what I enabled or disabled. Easy enough to do, and then gives you the ability to change everything on or off, or at the very least, to see what your settings were at different points in history.

Back it up as mentioned but it seems most of the mods overwrite your as-built. I have the matrix headlights and seat belt chime delete and didn't have any issues after the front sensor csp or any of the 20+ module updates I manually did in FDRS.

Glare free is enabled in Canadian Lightnings so it should be possible.

So is there a need to do this? If it’s a Canadian lightning does the matrix lighting do anything in addition to the glare free feature that comes with it on a Canadian vehicle?

I am attempting to do the same on a 2024 Flash, but when I try to edit IPC lines per the OP, it gives only the option for an odometer write. I cannot get to the settings below. Were you able to?

IPC	720-01-01	xx8x	xxxx	xx--
IPC	720-10-01	xxxx	xxx3	xx--

did you still need help with this? I'll try to check it out this evening if so.

Appreciate it. I tried the non-“as built” option and was able to make the change but still do not have the green icon, it’s still white. I do have the glare free option turned on. I have not had a chance to test glare free well so am unsure whether or not it is working. Do you have the green auto headlight icon?
----------
Edit: I screwed up and found one I missed--I now have the green auto headlight icon and it works!

If I hit the high beams, it goes away and I have to toggle the glare free toggle on the screen to get it back. I don't know if this is usual behavior but would welcome feedback anyone has.

Hello, I have a quick (albeit probably dumb) question, just to make sure I'm doing this right. I have made the backups and changed a couple of settings but regarding the glare free forscan mod.

I know where there is an "x" you leave that value alone, and only change the numbers noted. example:

DDM 740-06-02 xxxx xxxx 01--

what about the dashes after 01, do we leave those unchanged as well? I assume so but just wanted to be sure. Thank you!

 

[tallskydiver]

Yep, don't change those

Thank you! I literally just found another question on this forum just like mine!

Ha, if you really search you will find 10!
They are check digits and FORScan will automatically change them. It will give you a warning that the check digits don't match when you change something and hit save. But you can ignore since it will do the checksum math for you.

I did the Matrix headlights and vehicle start chime delete last night. Other than that I have the rain sensing wiper (doesn't work though, because the sensor (DIY install) doesn't have power and I haven't had time to try various ways to power it).

I'm curious though because I could have sworn when in Reverse, the backup camera had guidelines but I noticed they were now missing (I may be going crazy). Since it seems like you have the same "edits" I do I'm curious if you still have those guidelines as I may have messed up something along the way - or I'm imagining things.

 

[PJnc284]

I still have my guidelines. I would check and make sure nothing was fat fingered. What do you have in 720-07-02 for the IPC? The first digit apparently controls the guidelines

I have a 23 Lariat ER. IPMA was updated by the dealer as part of the front sensor CSP a couple of months ago. I’ve enabled glare free headlights and the Bluecruise improvements with help from this thread and forum members generous with their time and advice.

I now have the automated lane change working in Bluecruise but I do not have any animations on the instrument panel. Have I missed something or does this require some other module update (I don’t have FDRS set up)?

Thanks to all.

 

[PJnc284]

The missing animations is expected. Think I saw somewhere where the 24's didn't even come with it but got it as an update recently so I'd expect it in the next 5-10...years.

The recent IPMA update?
