FOREScan software installed

I got the BT module this afternoon and got everything activated on my laptop and headed out to the truck. I'm having a few small issues and im sure it's me learning a new system and all but any help would be appreciated.


I was able to activate the fog lights with the high beams..
Very impressed with the light output.


I was not able to activate the trans and oil temp to show on the cluster..
Every time I went to write the value it would go to 50% and stop and not sure why..

I also was unable to find the tpms sensors to adjust the tire pressure threshold and the disable the double horn honk feature.
I was unable to find the heated steering wheel full hot feature and the mirrior spotlight functions yet.




I see ALOT of adjustments to be able to made when some other folks that's smarter than me figure out the thresholds like the adaptive steering and I even seen what I believe is the Torque management system in there also..

Yea but very intimidating at 1st... There are a lot of things that can be changed that's for sure.

Where did you get the thing to do the fog lights and how much was it? Do you think that it will work on the spot lights on the side mirrors also?

Thats cool stuff! I downloaded FORScan and ordered the Bluetooth adapter yesterday. Do y'all know if it will it allow for speedometer adjustments for larger tires?

I am curious if Ford will care that this software was used? Will this effect warranty at all?

It will not affect the warranty. You're not tuning. Your just changing settings that Ford programmed in from the get go.

As to tire changes, you can change size but only to another size that was available on your truck's configuration. No custom sizes.

Not yet just now got the Double horn honk deleted and the Tpms psi threshold lowered down to 55 psi in the rear.

Can you enter custom fuel tank sizes? If so, are you limited to only two digits?

youll have to put in this thread, how to make the changes. Id like to do the fog lamps, when I get my truck and maybe the tpms. you lowering the pressure for the ride when empty? They also have a thread for the codes to mod tings like the double honk titled Master List of Ford As-Built data modifications.
