ECO Mode deleted via Forscan! Finally.

[CarmeloS]

Trial and error is how I learned, but you can also read the Forscan forums. It's not a difficult program to learn realy. Just ask questions online or find someone local to help.

Ok, thank you

That is probably the only decent reason I have heard. If you have a certain number and you have to choose I get it. However, is that even an option at this point? Do we only have a certain number of available mode spots? Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems like people are just able to delete it. I do wish I could sort the modes because I’d have ECO be my default.

Another vote for default eco. It's way better on low speed city streets. I'd like to have Eco and Sport and delete normal. I either want all the power or none of it. No halfsie bullshit.

I agree, when you think about it normal should be delete-able also. The only time I've used it or ever thought I would use Eco is if I ran out of gas or was really close to running out of gas and trying to stretch my last gallon to the gas station other than that I don't like that mode much but I wish that you could make choices as to which mode it defaulted to.

I tried removing normal mode but the whole goat mode menu got glitchy. Normal would show up at the end of this and turning the goat mode selector made it worse(kept bouncing back to normal then another mode, then normal).

same problem for me. 🫣

I'd settle for being able to choose the order of the modes. I'd like sport first, then normal, and let's put the misnamed eco at the end of the dial. If you have a 7MT it saves no fuel and makes the 2.3 sluggish, it won't let the turbo boost. Apparently some drivers like eco because normal and up is too much power in the city. Too much power for you? Good grief.

I was doing some reading over on ranger raptor 6g and came across a dyno report where the only changes were "goat mode" chages...they are slightly different on the pickup, but thee concept is identical and I believe the Bosch-provided engine logic is also similar across multiple vehicles platforms.


Bottom line is that there BIG difference bin actual HP and TQ with mode changes....this debunks those theories about it being related to pedal sensitivity (like a pedal commander)

I find this fascinating.

Eco is great for slow street driving and slow stop and go. Less jerky and less shifting. Only time I use it though.

Those aren’t GOAT mode changes. The eco, dynamic and sport he has listed for each graph are changes to the DTE box he has installed. It’s basically like having a JB4 installed on a Bronco, which explains why there’s a power increase for each setting.

I haven't tried any of the modes yet, asumming my Bronco is in Normal. I'm shifting how/when I want regardless with the 7M, so does something like Sport mode make much of a difference with manual trans?

The change in throttle response is pretty small on the 7MT in my experience, but it also automatically turns off ASS, if that's something you care about.

If you are new to a stick, or still getting used to the way the clutch feels you can feel the difference in the throttle, but once you get used to it it's pretty minor, just a little less forgiving on the clutch. Same with Eco mode, but in the other direction - actually makes it a bit more forgiving on shifting, but at the expense of the throttle being a bit mushier.

You may say, for ASS - well it's three twists of the dial versus one push of the button - except the Bronco will ask you when you first start up if you want to return to Sport mode if you shut it down in that mode. So that's something.

this makes alot more sense

Might be a dumb question but should we plugging in the ford calibration for updates and then putting them back into the bronco frequently?. Thanks

 

[PGBronc]

my dial skips from normal straight to sport now...yippee

Any chance of understanding how you disable eco? I cannot find guidance on the code chages.

You need to update the forscan to one of the newest versions and then go to the ABS Module in the easy mode. It's in one of the menus.
