Ford ProCal 2024 Bronco w/ 2.3

[brian6674]

Hello all,

FORD PERFORMANCE PROCAL 4 CALIBRATION DELIVERY TOOL | Part Details for M-12655-F | Ford Performance Parts

I have read that the Pro Cal won't work on the 2024's as of yet. I am not interested in the tune. I would just like the information. Or, just use it as an gauge. Would like to see AFR, Knock Info, Coolant Temp ext. Would the one listed above do that?? Basically looking for the same thing a Cobb Access Port would do on a WRX.

Thanks!

I think a $30 ODB2 Bluetooth adapter with a phone app will do what you are looking for.

But beyond that - a properly registered procal unit will do that too, but I can’t confirm if it will work on a vehicle that doesn’t have the tune registered. It ~should~. But that doesn’t mean much

I did something real crazy. I sent Ford Performance an e-mail asking the question. See if they get back!!!

The one I listed above has no tune, so is about $300 buck cheaper. Not really interested in the tune. But nice to have that option later if I change my mind.

No response from Ford on my question........

I’ll try to plug my unit into another truck and see what it does.

That said, I don’t know that there is a path to just buy the voucher code for the tune if you did want to upgrade to that later on. I guess you could always just flip the extra dongle if you did go that route.

As just a scanner, this is a very expensive and limited tool.

So I can’t say I would recommend what you are trying, I do kinda want to hear how it turns out (especially since it isn’t my money)

I would strongly recommend getting a Forscan-compatible adapter, almost all of them come with an app or have a built in screen that give you all the data you are looking for, and you get the option of using it for Forscan as well. For a fraction of the cost.

Or for about the same price, get a FDRS-compatible adapter, and then you have it for dealer-level work.

Just tried out my locked ProCal dongle on wife’s Bronco Sport

It does read the DTSCs fine, it does show engine/ECM parameters fine. I did not try to run any service/cal procedures.

But the basic stuff all seemed to work ok. It misidentified the engine in there - but I don’t think it was ever meant to work with the 3Cyl. Not even sure if there is an available one for the 2.0

But again, a Forscan compatible adapter will be way cheaper and do a lot more

Thanks Brian! The Forscan stuff would work, or a app used with my phone. But I want somthing mounted, that will turn on/off with the Bronco. With no messing with it. I have one of these in my 2020 F150 and love it.

Edge 84130-3 Insight CTS3 - Touchscreen Monitor (edgeproducts.com)

I was just going to get another one for the Bronco. But looks like they don't support Ford after 2020.

Seeing Ford never got back to me about my question maybe I will shoot Edge one.

 

[brian6674]

Well, in under three hours Edge Tech support got back to me. They say it should work. They told me if I want to try, purchase through them, they would give me a 90 day return if it don't work. Hmmmm......
