2021+ Bronco ForScan Thread

[bcrawfo2]

I did the global window up (on holding the remote lock button down) this morning.
My passenger window would roll up and then roll back down (whether I was rolling up manually or via remote). I had to relearn a few times, but this seems resolved.

Might be a stupid question but any issues with making ForScan changes immediately on a 2025? Would like to add Sport and make a few changes but don’t know if I should wait until the 2025s have been out a while first.

I’d say if ForScan is supporting 2025’s you should be fine.

Just make backups of your settings before you do anything.

I believe that raw editing will work pretty much always (editing the hex codes in ASBUILT mode), provided you have the codes (year to year ~mostly~ stay the same, not always, but mostly). The easy-mode settings aren't entirely accurate for any model Bronco.

i would agree with Brian_B - make a set of as-built backups of all the modules available as the first thing you do, put them in a subfolder and keep them as long as you own the bronco.
Then when you start making changes to specific modules back them up as well. I put them into folder named YYYY-MM-DD so they sort correctly. If something goes wonky you can restore the original setting before your changes. Had to do that more than once when something doesn't work or makes things worse.

I’ll definitely make sure and back up along the way. Adding sport mode is the main change I’d like to make. Just picked up a 2025 Badlands with the HOSS 3.0 - wish they had gone ahead and added Sport mode with the Fox shocks.

if there’s anyone in the Kansas City area familiar with Forescan who would be interested in tutoring me once I get around to making updates I could get you a six pack of your favorite as payment.

Make 1 change at a time and let it bake in for a few days or more. If it's all good, back up and do the next change.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Sound advice.

Sound advice.

nah. It literally takes 10 seconds to enable sport mode in the ABS module (not as-built). Its a drop down to enable and save/write. Done. I also disabled ECO mode as well in the same spot.

But if you aren't familiar with Forscan and are a newbie 1 thing at a time is good advice. Also backup before you make any changes.

When you open forscan and connect, it always asks you if you want to back up first thing.

Wow - lots of great updates. I've updated the spreadsheet. Please provide comments or confirmation if they work.

Something that may be helpful as well for those with '25's is make sure you are running the latest version of Forscan. When I purchased my F150 new in early '23 I wasnt able to connect to it initially. When the next version was released and I installed it, everything worked as expected.

Im still learning what can be done for the Broncos, but on my truck Ive added auto wipers, LED tail lights, hill descent control, a heated steering wheel and HD radio so far. I also plan on adding adaptive cruise control sometime this spring. Without Forscan, none of these modifications would have been possible. It is a very cool and powerful tool. Just take your time and make backups of the module you are working on prior to making any chages (as suggested above) and you should be fine.

Ok on my first real road trip with my 22 BD and discovered that the settings I had previously done for tire size were just a bit off. Figured no problem have the laptop and cable with me will just tweak it a little. Now im getting a DTC, SODCMC 160A:00-2F.

Running version 2.3.65, did the AWD relearn but there is no longer an option for PMC relearn.

SODCMC keeps failing when I try to open it. Did try doing SODCMC reboot with no change. Any ideas what im missing on the new version?
