FORScan NA Ranger 6th Gen (2024+) Crowdsourced Spreadsheet

[BriSco]

Tried today to connect: vehicle not found. XLT 2.7L V6

Same here. No profile for mine either. Wondering if I have to have the paid version to get the newest models?

Yeah, and that's why in my version of the sheet I mention that you "add 8" rather than a specific value, or preferably suggest to not use the asbuilt table and instead use the menu driven "non asbuilt" method which then Forscan does the proper math for you and you don't have to worry about all the math gumbo.

For those more interested in how this all works or are a math nerd, here is some breakdown of the tire temp change: It helps to know a little bit about how hexadecimal converts to binary and vice versa.

There are 4 bits in each character of the asbuilt (also called a "nibble") represented as hexadecimal values ranging from 0 to F, noting that A is 10, B is 11, etc to F is 15. So, quite often there are 3 other bits that will toggle other features if done incorrectly. Also for some cases they use ** which then is a "byte" that has 8 bits rather than 4. In this particular case, it's only one * so it's a nibble with "bit 4" numbered from right to left starting with 1, and is calculated as 2 exp 3 = 8 for the tire temperature display. (the exp 3 is due to it being the 4th bit, as exponentials start from 0, so it is one less of the bit number 4)

If you are further interested in what each bit does, go to the IPC tab in the spreadsheet, and search for 720-11-01, then scroll down to the line that matches, in this case xxxx *xxx xx--. It has a breakdown so you don't have to do the math, just look at the values.

**Caveat** the module tabs in this spreadsheet were copied from "livinitup's F150 sheet", so there may be some new features in our Rangers that are not on these tabs. But I've found it is mostly accurate.

The "nibble" for the tire temperature is below.

The other 3 bits are "transfer case type, minor gauge units, and PRS_cfg". You obviously don't want to mess with "transfer case type", which is bit 3 of the 4 bit value, and minor gauge units is bit 2, and PRS_Cfg is bit 1. A value of 9 indicates that transfer type is "part time drive" and minor gauge units is "Numerical". A value of A changes the minor gauge units to Alphabet.

So after saying all this, just use the "non asbuilt" module in Forscan rather than the "asbuilt" one and just pick what you want in the drop down - less chance to break something else....

I saw your entry one the courtesy light detection, how does it work? and does it work in non as built now or do you still need to change the nibble in as built? Thank you!

Can Auto Start Stop be turned off in Everest 2024?
Has anyone tried it yet?

I presume you are referring to the approach lighting. non as built works fine so no need to nibble.

yes sir, thats what i was talking about, so how does it work? the lights turn on automatically when the key is detected near the truck ??

Yep. Wish it would unlock too but just turns on lights as you get close

That would be sick, but still, pretty neat, I'll have to turn it on and see what its like. Guessing the bed lights still wont turn on tho huh?? Thank you!

Hello, I tried to activate the trailer side view function according to the instructions here in the table and it does not work. The button appears but it is darkly inactive and the first screen has disappeared, the control tab. You don't know any other way, or what could be wrong.

Bummer that doesn't work. Did you try it with a trailer connected? I have only connected a trailer one time and that was only a quick pull of my boat out of the water, so haven't have time to play with this setting or any of the trailering for that matter. It's possible this only works on the F150 which I think is where that info came from.

This may be due to your countries safety regulations.

According to safety regulations, it will not be Wildtrak and Platina have it from the factory, only the Raptor does not have it. Photo by Wildtrak. It can also do a 50/50 view without connecting the cart.

The instructions will probably be from the F 150, so I'm looking for some information on how to activate it in the Ranger Raptor. The European version of the Raptor does not have this feature active

Note that on this sheet, if you are looking at any of the settings on the "TBD" tab, the cells are shaded yellow which means they have not been tested yet by anyone here and thus may not be accurate. On the "Confirmed" tab they are shaded green and at least one person here has confirmed it works on their truck.

Having said that, note that the this was still TBD when you tried it, and that version said to set the value in the APIM to 8, which is not accurate. I finally got a chance to check this out (sadly I did this because I had to tow my boat to the shop for a blown cylinder), and can confirm it works on my NA Lariat with basic Tow package. But the value should not be set to 8, instead you should "add 8" to whatever is there already on 7D01-02-03 (in my case I had a 5 there, so had to change it to D). But the recommended setting for the APIM part is to use the "non Asbuilt" and instead of messing with bits and bytes - just use the drop down to enable "Turn Signal Views".

** Make sure you also make the change to the IPMA module, which does not have a non as-built menu option, so that one you can just add 3 to enable both cameras (in my case it was 0 so I changed it to 3)

Here's what it looks like now that I have confirmed it works. Note that Ford may still disable this if there is a limitation in your country.

Great explanation, thankyou for posting

I can't remember the exact problem, but it did have to do with connectivity. This thread talked about it a bit and the test version of FORScan worked like a champ for some of us. Maybe it'll work for you and @jbethune too
