2021+ F-150 FORScan List / Database / Spreadsheet

[dangerdan92]

What settings on what spreadsheet? Forscan?

Meaning what it shows on the spreadsheet here (DSP Tab):

Doesn't look anything like what my truck shows when I'm looking through the software

Help me out here. What are trying to accomplish? I didn't know this was a thing

Brand new to Forscan, got my OBD II Link and am starting with double horn honk disable because it looked like that would be an easy one (and it's extremely annoying). I've found the module but my as-built already has a "0" in the 4th number where @Livnitup sheet says change to "0". Should I enter a "1" instead? Just don't want to screw anything up. Btw, my truck is a 21 Powerboost 502A SCREW shortbed.

First, make sure you backup the BCM factory values before changing anything.

Next, change it to a 1 and write it. If it doesn’t work, you can restore the backup or change the 1 back to a 0 and write it. No harm.

That said, now that I looked at the spreadsheet, it does read funny. Disable implies 0, but I can see how a 1 (true) means disable double horn honk.

If I backup the OEM settings and copy to a thumb drive, should I leave it in the exFAT format? When does it need to be formatted to NTFS? I remember reading somewhere that it needs to be changed but I can't find it now.

I appear to have activated the trailer hitch assist successfully

Can you tell us more? What year truck? What settings did you use and what was your procedure? For example did you need to set up trailer assist first? I'm anxious to do mine but I haven't seen the truck for two weeks. Been in the shop for sound system upgrade. Should have been 2 days. Still have to get it to the tint and wrap shop.

i gotcha. have not set up trailer assist. I got an early 22 build. My truck is a Lariat 502A w/ pretty much every option. has no deletions other than auto start/stop

basically i referenced back to what @DK4 recently did and had success.

APIM 7D0-01-03
Original was 524D-23E5-3FC1
Changed to xxxx-xxFx-xxxx

ABS 760-03-01
Original was FB20
Changed to xx3X

IPMA 706-01-01
Original was 8A50-A219-AE52
Changed to xxxx-xx5x-xxxx

I reset the APIM
and checked and cleared DTC's.

Since it was late (21:30) i decided to just go back inside. I didnt do any driving. Drove to work this morning and hit the button and it asked if i had a trailer connected. i hit no and it started initializing and then asked me to put the trailer tongue in the circle on the screen. so it seems its working.

Wayne, did you make your IPMA value a 4? I’m pretty sure it was you who pointed out to me it should be a 5

For the record, since I did get mine working and made that video, it hasn’t been working as well. It doesn’t error out like the people who can’t get it to work at all though, so I think maybe the light wasn’t right or something when I tried again. The 4 or 5 value didn’t matter as I did both. Pretty sure 5 is correct.

When the weather gets better I’m going to pull my trailer all the way out and make sure it’s working and get a better video.

Format it to what ever you like. The files Forscan saves current module settings are in the 50-200 KB range. Just make sure you keep them in a safe spot and on a good quality drive. I had a thumb drive fail on me that had all my Forsacan backups for my 5th gen Ranger. Luckily at that time almost all the changes made had been done in the areas outside the As Built so they were easy to revert if I needed to.

MAYBE it is working. Mine goes through all the motions.. but when you get to the point of shifting to neutral and holding the button down so hitch assist can start positioning your truck be careful.

It can back along slowly and properly and, sometimes oddly, accelerate as the ball approaches. If you aren't ready (and really quick) it can smack the bumper into the trailer hitch. Now my rear wheels do have to pass over a garage threshold as I get close to the ball so perhaps that is a factor.

But I am pretty sure any smacking falls into the not working category. And don't bother asking me how I know this.

Ooops! yep, i slipped up and input a 4 in the post when it should have been a 5. I corrected it as well haha guess i fat fingered it.

thats crazy it hasnt been working as well. wonder what is causing that.

again, i'm not 100% mine is working but i know i got the pro trailer hitch assist screen that says to move vehicle so trailer is inside target message with the target in the middle.

As I recall, you successfully replaced your IPMA to get park assist working, so this should work as well for you--you just need to make the forscan changes to turn it on, and you should be good to go.

I had attempted the hitch assist mod before I swapped my IPMA, so the settings were already in place when I installed the '21 IPMA in my '22. Once I had Park Assist working, the Hitch assist worked on the first try. (I also had trailer backup assist set up already, but I don't think that that makes a difference--I don't recall the Hitch Assist asking about anything specific related to a trailer...just that you line your vehicle up with a trailer to get it started.)

2021 500A Lariat. I did the heated steering swap along with a HVAC module. Heating works, right side of buttons work. Let side don't. Did I forget to connect something or is my programming wrong:

- backed up old wheel SCCM
- restored old SCCM backup to the new SCCM
- edited the changes

Thank you.

Anything extra I need to do to get the left side buttons working (volume, cruise, voice)? I don't use lane keeping assist/alert.
