2021+ Bronco ForScan Thread

Yes in theory you should be able to have 8 on any trim. Unfortunately you cannot change the default mode. That is still the bounty for many people.

I have not looked into Trail Turn Assist but I will poke around, I imagine it can be enabled rather easily.

Just added sport mode to my badlands. That is SWEET! Just so you know, if you shutdown in a mode like eco or sport, when you turn it back on it will ask you if you want to reenable it. All you need to do is press ok.
Edit: this reply should have been to the @Tricky Dick message.

Ugh. This is weird. I just extended my license and now I am getting this error when trying to write:

"Service procedure has been interrupted"

Going to restart the laptop.

Edit: still not working. Anyone ever get that error when trying to write? It’s crashing at 35% whether I try to write via AS BUILT (manually) or the easy way. Trying to get rid of “Key in Ignition” Chime.

Barely tested it but I have enabled Sport Mode on a Badlands. What's curious is that it shifts to 4A when you enable this. . Also I have only just enabled it, drove 20 feet and then went back inside. It appears to work but I will confirm soon. I do now have all 8 modes in the SDM. I can't confirm the options listed below are guarantees I just compared a VIN for each trim and correlated the factory G.O.A.T. mode choices to the As-Builts. Seeing how Sport Mode was easily enabled I am fairly confident this is the DIY for all 8 modes on any trim.

I have updated the table with potential ability to turn off modes if you so desire. I have not tested them yet. Flashing the ABS module will throw many codes in it and you will need to clear DTC's. For many who might be new to ForScan and even those who are not, it's my recommendation to clear codes before you write a change (if present) and definitely after each write of a change you make. You don't want to lose communication with a module and not know it until you've finished doing other things.


Add/Change G.O.A.T. Modes in the ABS As-Built

ABS	760-04-02	x*xxx	xxxx	xx--	Need mode confirmation 0=Eco?Sand?Slippery? Off 1=Eco?Sand?Slippery? On
ABS	760-04-02	xxxx	x*xxx	xx--	Need mode confirmation 0=Eco?Sand?Slippery? Off 1=Eco?Sand?Slippery? On
ABS	760-04-03	x*xxx	xxxx	xx--	Need mode confirmation 0=Eco?Sand?Slippery? Off 1=Eco?Sand?Slippery? On
ABS	760-04-03	xxxx	x*xx	xx--	0=Baja Off 2=Baja On
ABS	760-04-03	xxxx	xxx*	xx--	1= Rock Crawl Off 3=Rock Crawl On
ABS	760-04-03	xxxx	xxxx	*x--	2=Mud/Ruts Off A=Mud/Ruts On
ABS	760-04-03	xxxx	xxxx	x*--	9=Sport Mode Off B=Sport Mode On

BTW, sport mode is supposed to default to 4A if available. I watched a video on exactly that yesterday.



At 1:42 and 3:25 time hacks.

It’s interesting that Wildtrak has both Baja and Sport modes. I would have thought the reason Badlands doesn’t have sport is because it has Baja

Some make sense if the equipment isn't there (lockers) but not sure why they wouldn't have all for first edition at least. I could see that as plus for it eventhough badlands has all same equipment. I figured there was some limitation, but guess not.

So tonight I tried my best to get Stop and Go working (Traffic Jam Assist) but no matter what it would just not accept turning TJA on no matter how many other things I lined up. Intelligent ACC also will not fully function. Ended up actually getting frustrated and changing an entire line over and then after I wrote it I needed to calibrate the IPMA entirely. At first I was worried it was going to need IDS but thankfully ForScan is able to do the learn procedure and the fault was cleared. So I guess we will just have to wait. This vehicle is such a mismosh of things with next gen stuff and current gen stuff blended together.

I feel so close but so far from having Lane Centering

We have confidence you'll get there!

So now that more time has passed, what scan tool/interface do you guys recommend for connecting to the vehicle? Last I remember, the OBDlink MX+ was the preferred tool. Have things changed? Is there a better option to buy if I just want to change basic things?

 

[De Brus]

I’m not sure about better as in cheaper but I have that one and I love it it’s been perfect.

Yeah I’m more worried about quality and user experience over cost. If that’s still the one to get, I’ll grab it. There’s 1 more on Amazon that reviews seem to prefer, that’s why I was asking.

BlueDriver Bluetooth Pro OBDII Scan Tool for iPhone & Android https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00652G4T...abc_9Q8WKDKKWRJFB8971G20?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Anyone know anything about that one?

I've been using this one on my other Fords. Has worked well. Since my Bronco is still a long way out I wouldn't mind lending it to see how it works for you.

Appreciate it, brother. But I don’t have a windows computer. I’m just gonna grab one from Amazon since they’re pretty cheap.

I have been using an OBDLinkEX hardwire cable. It seemed a reliable method when I searched a while back.

Badlands replaced sport mode with rock crawl (w/sway disconnect).

Let us know what you think. I'm not a fan of Bluetooth adapters, hardwired has been more reliable in my experience.

I just use an old netbook right now but the battery is shot so it's not convenient.

What's the best laptop or notebook to pick up for using on just Forscan? I read the post with details on refurbished and they are all so different.
Thank you

Any wired options work with Mac?

edit: never mind, I’m sure forscan is a windows based program
