2023+ ForScan Spreadsheet

[Stroke250]

Well i tried changing the tire sixe before and I couldn’t get the P160 and u023a to go away so I put everything back to stock and both codes went away. So something needs to be adjusted in Forscan I guess. And like I said the auto high beams isn’t working. I’ll call my dealer and have them check my vin for that update.

My truck was stubborn with the P160A. I ran it with that soft code for quite some time. Do you have an actual CEL?

Might in the next two months be swappin' out my [currently] 10,000 mile oem fitted Duratracs in favor of the ONLY... the freakin' ONLY 37 X 11.5 X 18 tire, that damnable Nitto Ridge Grappler, a tire w/ a tread pattern I never cared for.

HOWEVER, in this delightful and very capable 37" X 11.5" tire size, the NRG pattern is palatable. Just.

My speedo presently reads within 1 MPH of an iPhone "Speedometer" app GPS readout. Where in FORScan...

Update!

Tires are not going to be RIDGE Grapplers, but instead! will be a set of five RECON Grapplers mounted on not! any $350 Methods but instead will be a set of five $189 Vision Flow 351 in 17 X 8.5, +18mm in a satin grey.

Too many substandard reports (two too many) on the RIDGE Grappler.
The only other decent quality (many positive reviews and reports) 37 X 11.5 is the RECON Grappler, but it's in a 37 X 11.5 X 17" D Load Range which puts my beloved Ebony black/machined 18 X 8 Tremor aluminum wheels on the SHELF for now.

A big truck will be arriving Wednesday next and I'll be unloading 500 pounds of wheels/tires. Hey, shipping was "free" so I'll take it.

Mounted, balanced, TPMS, lug nuts (for four) X 5 - [Edit:] Also on the menu is a Bilstein 5100 steering stabilizer and a Carli torsion swaybar w/ billet endlinks for 2" lift (Tremor).

Photos the evening of.

Newbie here however thought I'd share my findings on my 26 F250 7.3 using FORscan. Seems a 2024 I worked over in early 2025, for a buddy was a little different on some of the settings and where to go in. My 26 is a bit easier.

Still wouldn't mind trying to shut off "door open" and a few other dash prompts while in park, door open, engine running, etc.

***My 2026: XLS list isn’t 100% as far as going into “as built” vs not. A few items didn’t require going into “as built” in which is quicker and easier.

-Bambi Mode (love this feature)
-Remove Black Box Rear Camera (took a few attempts)
-Tire Size from 2560 factory to 2668 for 305/70-18s (MT Baja Boss)
-Speedo and GPS are spot on now.
-No more seat belt chime.
-TPMS setting to 45psi on dash all the way around. *Not listed on XLS.
-Increased momentary turn signal flash from 3 to 5.

***Notes on Tire Size: Tested with certified GS GPS and Phone app.
Installed 305/70-18’s and these were the readings.
Factory setting of 2560. Speedo read 73/74 but I was going 70mph.
Changed to 2776. Speedo read 67 but I was going 71mph.
Changed to 2668. Speed read 70 and I was going 70mph. SPOT ON.

whats the trick to changing this: -> Remove Black Box Rear Camera (took a few attempts)

To get rid of that annoying "Full View Not Available" black box on your camera screen, you just need to make a quick As-Built edit.

Here are the exact steps:

1. Connect to the truck and open FORScan.

2. Go into the APIM (As-Built Format) module. (Always save a backup of the original module before editing!)

3. Locate address line: 7D0-02-02

4. You are looking for the 4th digit of the first block (xxx* xxxx xx--).

5. Change that specific digit based on what your current number is:

If it's 0 change to 1
If it's 2 change to 3
If it's 4 change to 5
If it's 6 change to 7

6. Click Write (and accept the checksum warning if it pops up) to save the change.

7. Finally, reset the APIM module. You can do this using the reset tool in FORScan, or just press and hold the physical Power/Volume + Right Seek (>>) buttons on your dash for about 10 seconds to force the radio to reboot.

Once the screen boots back up, that black box will be gone!

Pretty certain I snapped a photo or two of what I did. In the meantime as I recall I had to go through the process 3 times and it took on the 3rd time. Something I may have done differently was "select write" up by the top of the page instead of the bottom where you would normally do so. Then I selected "write" at the bottom and it worked.

Edit, was having regen icon not showing up. Found out I had to reboot apim. It works, thank you ZooDad.

Anyway since I already have a post here's what to do for turning cornering light (fog) off.

Second option from the bottom if left inhibited will turn off fog light for corresponding side when turn signal is active (only when fog lights are ON)
In case you want people to see signal light better.

If seatbelt minder is turned off via truck, pressing OK on the steering wheel will clear the red box message.
If the vehicle was moving and seatbelt was unbuckled after it'll stay ON until the door is open and closed, after that hitting OK will remove it.

I would like to add DEF to the optional gauges in my instrument cluster, but I want it to display the actual percentage remaining rather than just the standard gauge.

Has anyone successfully enabled this using FORScan? Ford doesn’t offer percentage remaining as a native option, so I assume it would require an FORScan modification, assuming it’s even possible.

if I inhibit the "using front fog with turn signal" will this also disable the fog lights when turning at lower speeds or only when signaling?

I am trying to update my tire size in Forscan, but I do not see the TCM or a module relearn for the TCM when I connect. Is this something that will popup after I make the change or is this something that I am doing wrong? I am using an OBDLink EX1.

[larryo108]

Yes. Thank you. I have that part. But from what I have read I need to do a PCM, AWD and TCM relearn afterwards. But I don’t see TCM.

Shoot. Standby. Not everything posted.

I'm not at my computer but I think this video will help you.

This is the video I was looking for. When I get to my computer I will get the condensed process I did on mine.

 

[larryo108]

Thank you for the video. It is certainly helpful. The problem I am having is that I don’t even see the TCM in my FORScan. It’s just not there. I notice the video is on a diesel and I have a 7.3 gas. I can’t believe that would be the issue though. I still have a transmission.

 

[ramv]

I can’t speak on Ford but on the GM/Rams they only have standalone TCM on diesels

I used his video as well do everything you can and it will work just fine. I have a ‘23 7.3 and don’t have the TCM option in forscan either.

 

[snowcat]

if I inhibit the "using front fog with turn signal" will this also disable the fog lights when turning at lower speeds or only when signaling?

It won't, that one works only when turn signal is active (it does opposite of cornering lights)

If I remember correctly, to disable fogs when turning at lower speeds change 3 settings:
1 Fog light usage
2 Left front fog light usage
3 Right front fog light usage

These 3 should be set to "Fog light only"

 

[larryo108]

Thanks. So I went through it all. I programmed 2799 and I noticed a message that the tire circumference is outside parameters, but the programming finished. And I did the AWD too.

I have a U0422 code, which I believe is just a freeze frame code. I haven’t driven the truck yet, but is this something to be concerned about?
