Just had my Forscan cut off, resting up watching this.

Hi Sean, been running it for about 18 months to two years now. Fantastic tool to have with my 4 Ford's. Not much you can do configuration wise with my AU'S but can do heaps with my Ranger. The fault diagnosis function is great and has been handy with figuring stuff out. Highly recommend getting the extended licence for eighty odd bucks for lifetime updates. Police mode is worth it too in BA as you get digital Speedo in the RH screen.

I have used this program to reset HIM module to get my stereo and a/c running, totally worth paying for the extended liscence

[shanecameron]

I need something like this as well. Need to do my research. I bet the AU would come up with 100 codes and still run like a dream.

[cgrecommended]

If only the BA had some kind of mobile office desk!

[andrewhufer]

Great program. Used it to program my central locking on the Mondeo to autolock on drive away when Ford said it wasn't

[ThePowerbloke]

Interesting as always mate! Thanks for sharing the ForeScan and what it can do with us.

I just bought the adapter after downloading Forscan, I’m gonna enable police mode as a once off to see what it’s like, I know that it’s only a digital speedometer

[toddgadaleta]

Hey bud, you forgot to mention the switch on the actual ob11 box that connects to the module, whats it for?

[brokenlegz]

Interesting. I took out my blend door motor because it was noisy. Took it apart. Had a look. Looks fine. Put it back in now it only goes to hot. Won’t go back to cold. I wonder if I could reset the HIM HVAC with this program and get it working 🤔

[Arnast]

paying for forscan license allows you to do the more advanced stuff. For you OBD to detect Canbus stuff you need to rewire and add a switch to the adapter

[belch]

Shanks for sharing about your forscan! Wicked

I wish I could have my Forscan back after it was removed in 73.

[markcollins]

A great tool, especially when you have 2 Falcons and a Mondeo and the wife has a Mazda 3

Hi Sean i always enjoy watching your channel and seeing what you have been up to. Although this has nothing to do with todays topic, I have a '06 BF lpg Falcon, it developed a vibration, on closer inspection the drive shaft centre bearing had perished and come apart. It was a simple fix and only took me a couple of hours to replace. Its maybe something for you to look into on your car. Keep up the good work mate, Phil. NZ

ACM Audio Control Module.
PCM Powertrain Control Module(eec/ecu).
BCM Body Control Module.
HIM Heater Integrated Module(Hvac).
RCM Restraints Control Module.
ABS Antilock Braking System.
IC Instrument Cluster.

If you get the extended license off Forscan to add to the app/program you will get use of all programing features available on your laptop.
Some codes are generic and if you click into the error you will see the warning light option is OFF.

B1251 is the sensor in RH mirror, if there is no outside temperature reading on your ICC screen the sensor is probably not fitted (its built into high series mirrors).
U1900 the service manual says "Document and clear the DTC’s. Read fault. received. DTC’s. If the DTC is registered again

referto CAN bus diagnostics section 303-14."

[spamsam]

Sean, I notice they also sell a branded version for Forscan use - ie $88 connector vs the one you used. Apart from the manual switch on yours, is there really any difference between them? And are you able to monitor for engine missing?
