DRL settings in Forscan

[djn3400]

I noticed that the following DRL settings have been added to the Bronco spreadsheet. Could someone please explain to me what the various settings actually do to the behavior of the DRL's? Thanks!

00 = Not Used >>> ???
01 = DRL Only >>> ???
02 = DRL Position >>> ???
03 = Fixed DRL Position >>> ???
04 = Fixed Position Only >>> ???
05 = Position Only >>> ???
06 = Stop Turn >>> ???

@D2dhanover - any insight on this?

No not really, that's just the available options that I found. I believe position might make them constantly on outside of Auto headlight settings or in Drive but not for certain. I believe you would want them 00 if you are going for just amber bars (separate coding for that) since the LED's in the DRL are only white diodes and cannot change color.

Haven't had much time to experiment really.

As always, thank you for the guidance! If I get some time in the next few days, maybe I’ll experiment with the different settings and report back here with my findings.

I am really confused. mine was 0000 from the start. When i try 01 and 02 it doesnt do anything.

I have cycled the ignition and put the car in drive.

can you help me out?

The only way I could sorta get it working was byusing the not as built module. I changed the setting to Turn signal, DRL and position and it worked but then it wasnt working as a turn signal.

Does "position" mean the side marker lights as well as DRL? "Position lights"

Is there a module that needs to be re-learned maybe?

I don't have a lot of experience with this change honestly or I would help. I haven't had time to dig in on this. I don't do work on my daily Bronco and my test Bronco is completely torn apart for other modifications at the moment.

I spent a bit of time a few weeks ago trying all of these setting out. None of them actually changed the behavior of any of the DRL’s, headlights, turn signals, or any other lights. Except for the 06, which did as it advertised, and stopped the turn signals from working at all and changed the blinker sound to a really fast blink sound.

I changed the configuration in BdyCM Module config (AS BUILT format)

from this:
726-43-01 0202 0000 0176
to:
726-43-01 0404 0000 0176

my turn signal doesn't activate, only stay steady amber.

Same exact issue as me.
Others have made it work properly, but I can’t seem to make it happen. We had a thread going in the Bronco6X FB group.

Interested in any insight to this. I would love to have the amber bar for DRL and still work for turn signal, obviously. I haven't invested anytime yet into learning how FORScan works, yet.

during the day it works fine. at night it stops working, you can trick the light sensor at night

What did you do to fix the earlier issues you had?

not much, just the configuration (0404).

I did the amber bar with drl in the plain English section turn signals work as they should. This is what I changed.
