Forscan

[Redneck1465]

Has anyone on here used Forscan before? I am thinking about getting it to use it to check engine codes and do some data logging but I have never used it before. Any insight would be appreciated.

I've used it, but only to toggle on the AWD display, and turn off the double-honk when you get out of the car and close the door.

I use Torque or SCT Livelink (if that's still a thing) to do datalogs. Although, I will probably datalog with Forscan at some point in the future.

Forscan is fun. When I put sync 3 in my 15 i updated the start up logo to the Shelby snake for the gt350. I think the stock 15 my touch can get the raptor intro, along with st, f150, Lincoln and a couple different ford ones

I put the RS Performance on mine because it matched the rest of my interior.

Speaking of which, has anyone used Forscan to enable a 2016 - or any other year model - to allow for individual tire pressure readings? Assuming it's even possible? Apparently no Sync updates will do the trick, at least according to my stealer.........correction, dealership.

There are earlier year "basic" models - I think I saw a 2014 Ford Edge, for example - that have it . And while I'm aware some later model SHOs have individual readouts, it just boggles my mind that the 2016 SHO does not. I mean it was 2016, not 2006.

This is the ONLY thing about mine that I just....do....not....like. OK, OK. I frickin HATE IT, truth be told.

Can anyone help? Especially in Central or South Florida? I'd pay a high premium for just that TPMS capability to be enabled in my vehicle (possibly others, too.) Plus a generous tip, to any of your interested in making some cold, hard cash on an easy job.

Holler at yer boy!!!!

I am pretty sure individual tire pressure display is not possible on our platform. There are some other forscan threads out there too that have more information.

They are readable, my obd link shows live individual readings. They are finding new things on forscan for our platform, a few codes found just this week on the wikia crankshaft collation for ford electronics. I research the f*** out of things, I've dumped lots of research time into forscan over the past few months and found lots of sites and other people who experiment with it.

I use Torque to read my TPMS in real time.

what new stuff was found? I haven't messed with it in a while other than scanning body module error codes when my seats stop blowing cold air up my crack.

I have an independent system that gives me Real Time tire air pressure and temperature for all four tires it's solar powered and Bluetooth that reads my tires censors

Dumb question time. Are you all that use Forscan doing the mods on a computer or via phone interface?

Computer with a obd2 to usb cord

Thank you all for your replies. Going to do some research on Torque TPMS and see if I can figure this all out.

I love Torque Pro, great for a very customizable dash gauge setup. I run a dedicated small, cheap tablet so I don't interrupt usage of the phone for any tasks. Was running my tires at about 42psi that day.

Thank you. Figured as much, wanted to confirm.

Do you guys suggest the Bluetooth OBD adapter so you can use it on your phone and computer or the USB adapter?

USB. the bluetooth adapter can go to sleep if you take to long

Yup, USB for forscan, i have the Bluetooth one for the tablet running torque.
