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

[craigc]

@craigc, Raptortugal's comment might need adding to the spreadsheet, unless I've missed it somewhere else.

I'm adding this to the TBD tab. I'm not clear on what is needed vs what is not, as my vehicle in North America already had the option in the center screen, however "Auto Lock Control Function" is disabled in APIM and IPC in mine, yet works fine. The BCM settings, are all enabled (726-19-02 set to 0101 0101 01--). See the TBD tab and if anyone can confirm this is what is needed, it can be moved to the Confirmed tab. I pasted what I found below.

Looks like we already have confirmation from a few (Lariat and Raptor):

Going to have to try this one myself too! thanks guys for updating!

I enabled TTA this weekend and yes it is cool! Too bad they don't enable this by default. Finally got to do a small amount of off road this weekend and a creek crossing. Where I was at was really nothing very technical but it was super muddy and the Ranger handled everything like a champ.

IPC modification is not necessary. Only BCM (to enable the function) and APIM (to have an ON/OFF switch on the sync screen).
I also enabled "visual feedback lock" and "audible feedback lock" to have the switches in the sync.

I also managed to enable TTA, that's cool (the noise scared me).
The braked rear wheel turns green only almost at the end of the steering wheel travel, it's the same for you ?

But I couldn't get the camera to activate while driving.

I only tried it once and didn't remember seeing the wheel turning green. I had people watching and they said they saw the wheels stop spinning on the turn. And agree, the noise was a bit startling. Bummer on the cameras. I have all that - just no close up view like the Raptor has

I recorded one video from inside and one from the wheel (out the window) while I had TTA activated.
I’m still sad that the following things don’t work:

• Front wheel off-road camera (like in the Bronco), even though the camera icon is activated.

• Turning on the cameras while driving.

Looks like you can purchase the 1 year PC license from Forscan again. In case anyone was waiting to be able to purchase it.

I agree with this, having just re-tested this morning. I disabled APIM and lost the ability to enable/disable from the settings menu.

IPC is not required, but BdyCM and APIM are both required (non-Asbuilt Enable/Disable works) at least on a Thai built MY22 Ranger Raptor. And in BdyCM I only selected the Auto Lock Vehicle option. I skipped Person 1-4.

Since I was asked about my Mac setup in a DM, I thought I'd leave this here, in case others also want to use FORScan with a Mac.

My setup is as follows, with a 2024 MacBook Air (not that this part is overly relevant) with only USB-C ports:

I'm using the OBDLink EX: https://www.obdlink.com/products/obdlink-ex/
In retrospect, I probably could have used one of the wireless versions, but their specs appeared to support phone/tablet connection, using the lite version of FORScan only. I may have been wrong with this assessment, but the cabled version works well.

Then I downloaded FORScan, and obtained the 2-month extended license, which appears to be required for some of the extended functionality. I haven't delved into what that functionality is.
https://forscan.org/download.html

Then I downloaded Crossover. https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover
I checked that it would run FORScan successfully. There's a tool on the website that lets you check which software will and won't run. There's a small amount of effort to get Crossover set up, specifically in enabling it to recognise and access a virtual COM (serial) port, but there are plenty of instructions on the site and I had it all up an running perfectly with about 10 minutes of effort, from a standing start, knowing nothing about it. You get 2 weeks of free trial when you start using the software, which is more than enough to test and complete any changes you might want to make. I figured I will likely want to make more in the future, as this forum evolves, so opted for a paid license.

The last thing I needed, which I already had, was a USB-A to USB-C adapter to enable me to plug into the USB-C port on my MacBook Air. Here's a link to the one I have: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/...d6a8ee52fbaf95b674f884a4f1a5b3150c83fc8124565

All in all, FORScan with Crossover and the OBDLink EX works perfectly and enables me to read and write back to my Ranger Raptor's settings, etc. Short of a couple of things I've yet to figure out (enabling cameras at speed) I now have all the settings I wanted to change/enable.

Thanks for confirming. I removed the IPC except added the IPC details for visual/audible and moved it from TBD to confirmed tab. If anything is wrong, please correct it if you have access or let me know and I will fix. Odd that something like "auto lock" has regional differences....

I have to ask again. I’ve been tinkering with FORScan for a while now and have gotten somewhat familiar with it. But here what exactly is the difference between the two sheets in post 1 and the Ranger sheet that is linked at the top of the spreadsheet? I now have three sheets, essentially?

They are all the same, just Google implements a few different ways to look at it. In post 1 I have two versions you can select, one is a "web version" that is a lot simpler to access and displays tab at the top of the screen, but you can't do any filtering on, and the other is the google sheet link that runs in "Google Sheets" giving more ability to filter/search/etc.

Some people may prefer one or the other - I just give two ways to skin the cat, but the source is identical between the two. Not sure why you mentioned a third one, but I suspect it's the same link to the google sheet link.

 

[Sequoia]

Thank you for your explanation! The third one is this, which is linked in the spreadsheet

 

[ag02m5]

Somewhat related. Are there any workarounds to purchase forscan for the US? Getting the front leveled soon and need to reset things. Thx.

oh, the links inside the sheet. I can probably remove or hide these - i just gave links to the original sheets that helped populate this one for us as a reference only. These are different sheets and not related to the Ranger at all. Post 1 of this thread has the only links you need.
