What is FORScan?
FORScan is software used in conjunction with a specific type of OBDII adapter that enables you to make changes to your truck’s default modules’ settings. Some popular things that can be changed are: adding heated and/or cooled seat icons & heated steering wheel to Sync 2 & Sync 3 home screen & climate menu, disabling the Powerpoint 12V timeout or setting it to whatever you want, adding engine/trans temps above the gauge, disabling the double honk, enabling autofold mirrors, enabling global window open/close , changing heated steering wheel to full hot, enabling radio to be turned on with vehicle completely off (2015’s), adding the ability to view/reply to text messages and enter NAV destination while in motion.
FORScan Features:
Detect vehicle on-board network configuration
Read and reset Diagnostic Trouble Codes from all modules
Reading of modules’ sensors’ data
Run test diagnostic procedures (not supported in FORScan Lite yet)
Run service procedures (not supported in FORScan Lite yet)
FORScan Supported Vehicle Models:
All Ford, Mazda, Lincoln, Mercury vehicles that can be addressed by supported adapters. It is 99% of models after 2000 and around 92% of models after 1996 (the year when OBD2 became a standart in USA).
