I want to share something I learned recently about using ForSCAN AFTER you install the Ford Procal performance tune on your Bronco. It is based on a sample of one; me. This will be a little long, but I include details on how I resolved my issue.
What I learned:
The trick is you need to find out what the factory strategy/calibration is for your Bronco. Here is how I determined mine:
Step one – pull your "As Built" from Ford (using your VIN) from here: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt
Step two – Use the “Download Fie” option to get everything in an XML file
Step three - open it with Notepad on your computer (you may have to look for "all files" when opening it and not just "txt" files. It ends in .ab)
Step five – Use the "Find" function (Ctrl-F) and look for “<NODEID>7E0”
Step six – You should have jumped to a section that looks like this:
<NODEID>7E0<F110>DSNB3A-12A650-AAD</F110><F111>MB3A-12B684-RA</F111><F113>MB3A-12A650-AYB</F113><F17F>1BE08WGT</F17F><F188>MB3A-14C204-DJC</F188><F18C>7835114012063</F18C><F190>1FMEE5DPXMLA86428</F190><F1E0>PXNB3A-12A650-AAD</F1E0></NODEID>
The value you are looking for is between the <F188> and </F188> delimiters. In my case, it is MB3A-14C204-DJC. This is what you will need in ForScan so it knows how to interpret the data coming from the PCM. You can Enter it as MB3A-14C204-DJC or MB3ADJC.
After that, ForScan works as normal.
Note: As I mentioned above, all my ForScan updates that were in place before doing the ProCal update are reflected in the download from the Ford Site. As an example, I had modified my panic button to require a double press and eliminated the double honk. Both of those changes are in the "As Built" downloaded. It looks like when you do the ProCal install, it copies your current state up to Ford, and it becomes your "As Built."
What I learned:
- Any ForSCAN adjustments you made before installing the Ford ProCal tune will remain.
- Any ForSCAN adjustments in place when installing the Ford ProCal tune will be uploaded to the MotorcraftServices site as your current “As Built"
- ForSCAN will not be able to connect to your Bronco without entering a strategy/calibration name
