2021+ Bronco ForScan Thread

[Loesch]

I just noticed that there is a duplicate entry in the FORScan Google Sheets document that I believe everyone is still referencing. On the Common Features sheet, "Disable key-in ignition chime" and "Disables Triple Ding at Start up (Doo, doo, doo)" are the same value. Maybe just rename "Disable key-in ignition chime" to "Disable triple ding at Start up" and delete the other one?

Has anyone looked into disabling traction/stability control entirely with forscan?
Holding down the button for 7 seconds and verifying that advancetrak is off isn't actually disabling anything, it lessens some of the effects but it's still there.
Was thinking it would be nice to maybe just edit a goat mode so it's only disabled in the modes you really don't want it on.
Also found out that when you disable advancetrak it also conveniently disables the cruise control for you, so I'd definitely want it to be selectable rather than permanent...alternatively, some way to not disable cruise control would work if it had to be a permanent/physical mod like cutting a wire or pulling a fuse.

If you find a way please let me know, i need this more than any other change from forscan !

I have a feeling your best bet would be to remove the fuse for the ABS system but like was mentioned, that causes other problems and warnings.

All right, I need some help here. While changing the tire size, I believe that’s what triggered this. I started throwing codes, one in the ABS system and one in the PCM. The ABS DTC cleared immediately but the one in the PCM is a little more persistent it’s a DTC P160A. I wasn’t even in the PCM. Only the BCM which I return to the factory as belts. Is anybody familiar with this code? Is there anyway I can clear it? The book is five hours for this thing.

Hey, so I search the DTC code and got a nice video on how to fix it. So you guys don’t worry about little old me

So what was the fix? Relearn on PCM/TCM?

If anyone with a Badlands High/Lux (12 inch screen, or maybe it doesn't matter) has the default values for APIM 7D0-02-03 and could share them I'd appreciate it!

I don't think that it matters, but here is my 2 door 2021 Bronco OBX Lux package.

Saw this on FB. I guess some point in 2023 or so they made Auto High Beams fade on/off. My 2021 is very abrupt.

Interesting. My March '23 built Base would ramp on/off. It bugged me so I just turned the auto function off. My issue was I didn't notice the auto hi/low switching. So I often 'dimmed' my hi-beams when I was actually turning them on when traffic approached. Maybe I should just have more faith in the hi beam 'nanny'.

That’s an interesting outlook. Makes sense. Perhaps I’ll just leave it as is. I felt sometimes it’s on and off so much it’s like a strobe.

But, good to know you can disable it.

Hmm Nobody Posted here for a while.
I removed my back seats in my 2023 Badlands and took out the seatbelts.
RCM Changes
737-02-01 - From C76A-EE33-70-- to C76A-EE33-10-- no longer throws DTC for Seat Beat Buckles not being present.
737-02-02 - From 0CE6-8102-00-- to 0C66-8002-00-- no longer throws DTC for unplugged Passenger and Driver side pretensioners.
Best Bonus - Airbag light goes out on Dash.
Used the F150 guide to help puzzle this out.

Doesnt sound safe to me. If for some reason something breaks and is no longer working you wont inow about it until its to late.
you could be involved in an accident and it wouldnt be good if the seatbelts didnt work properly and or the airbag didnt deploy because of sn issue you werent aware about.

Sure we hate all the nags about seatbeltd and airbags and all the lights that are on etc... u til its to late.

As a former oaramedic i have seen it happen. people disabling all the warnings and then never know when something is t working properly only to find out when they need it. thst it isnt working and now their loved one is dead.

To be clear, the changes I made to the Forscan programming are just telling the Bronco that the Seat Belt hardware, (Buckles and Shoulder straps). are not present on the vehicle, which were physically removed with the rear seats. The 2nd row Air bags are still present and active.

Did you know you can actually just disable the seat belt reminder by following a few steps unplugging and plugging the seatbelt in?

Note: The driver and front passenger warnings switch on and off independently. When you perform this procedure for one seating position, do not buckle the other position as this terminates the process.

Read Steps 1 - 4 before starting the procedure.

Make sure that:

• You set the parking brake.
• The transmission is in park (P).
• The ignition is off.
• You close all vehicle doors.
• You unbuckle the driver and front passenger seatbelts.

1. Switch the ignition on. Do not start the engine.
2. Wait until the seatbelt warning lamp turns off (about one minute). After Step 2, wait an additional five seconds before proceeding with Step 3. Once you start Step 3, you must complete the procedure within 60 seconds.
3. For the seating position you are switching off, buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt three times at a moderate speed, ending in the unbuckled state. After Step 3, the seatbelt warning lamp turns on.
4. When the seatbelt warning lamp is on, buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt. After Step 4, the seatbelt warning lamp flashes for confirmation.

• This switches the feature off if it is currently on.
• This switches the feature on if it is currently off.

Thank you! This appears to have worked however, do you get three initial dings still prior to the chime going off?

Also, maybe I never noticed it until today, but upon start up, do you guys have your speedometer go from 140 to 0 digitally? I noticed this for the first time today when doing the seatbelt ha!
