Can some of the Forscan gurus help out again? I finally have time and park truck near the house.

Issue 1:
I added a heated steering wheel few years back. I upgraded the HVAC module to have the heated steering button. Everything works fine, but I cannot get rid of the error:
Code:
HVAC U2420 Not Programmed
I have reloaded the as-built from my old module, didn't solve it...
Some modules have a switch in configuration which informs others that it is programmed correctly. If the HVAC module has one, it is not enumerated in the spreadsheet. Therefore I think the only way to get rid of that DTC would be to PMI the module in FDRS. If all HVAC functions work, and if the MIL is off, I'd ignore it if you don't want to spend money on FDRS and the mongoose.
Issue 2:
When swapping the steering wheel, I didn't keep my old left side buttons module (wheel sold). As a result, I had to make the change to get buttons to work:..Now there is an SCCM uneraseable error for Bus communication. Probably due to the adaptive cruise button and the distance button. I don't use the distance button and regular cruise control works.

Is this fixable via Forscan or do I need to get my old module equivalent back?

Thanks.
Yes, it is due to the extra buttons. Again, if all steering column functions work, and if the MIL is off, I'd ignore it.

You're right in the sense that this is not a config issue, but a PMI will not work in his case. The part number the server shows for his HVAC is the one it came with and not the one he put in. The only way to update the HVAC is to side-load it with FORScan.

Do you happen to know how to do that? I got time to play around with Forscan, but don’t know what to change. I did the calibration test and what not, didn’t fix.

Yea, you need FORScan beta to do it. I have the files; should be the same as mine. Your HVAC has the digital temps on it, right?

Yes, digital temps are there. Appreciate it if you can provide
I'll dig up the instructions from the last person I helped do this and message you.

Wondering if anyone can help me with a splash screen issue. I cant seem to get the Ford GT splash screen to work at all. The only one that seems to work is the Raptor one. The option for Ford performance is gone.

I have a 2025 F150 XL RCSB v8 5.0

Are you rebooting the APIM module? That is the only way I can get any of them to work.

When you say reboot, do you mean, just turning the ignition off and back on like the forscan software says? Or is there something else I’m missing?

There's a reboot module procedure in forscan.

2025 F150 XL single cab 5.0...

I'd be curious if anyone has changed the DRL brightness... When the auto DRL's are on they are full bright and they look great. However, the fog lights don't come on and i hate that. When i manually change them to DRL on with the switch they are about 50% brightness, but the fog lights can be on.

The only thing i have gotten o work on mine is BAMBI mode. Splash screens don't seem to work at all. Other than the Raptor Image which i don't want. Kind of bummed.


@Livnitup do you have any info on this year and model?

The splash screen items on the forscan sheet are all the options available. That being said, Your Apim software package may not have most/all of the splash screens. Also, for the DRL and fogs you can enable that. @BPX Elite
