Forscan unlocks all GOAT modes with any Bronco model trim! How-to DIY instructions

[Rydfree]

I have seen where Baja and Sport are considered the same with the exception of Baja is 4WD and Sport is 4A. I have found that Baja also shifts at a higher rpm than Sport. Baja also does not go into the highest gears. I think Sport uses all gears but have not fully explored that.

You are correct. Baja and Sport differ in several ways. Baja holds a lot higher RPM than sport so it keeps the turbo/s spooled up.

There seems to be some variation on this. I just went into ABS with Forscan to disable Eco. I had previously added Sport mode, so before I disabled Eco, I checked to see how many modes I had. I had all 8 modes including Rock Crawl. I was able to successfully disable Eco and now I am back to 7 modes.

I never use Eco and now I can go straight to Sport from Normal. I did try Eco when I first got my Bronco for a couple weeks but did not like it.

Mine goes from Normal to Slippery then Sport. Do you have Slippery?

I do have Slippery. It is after Sport. You must have a 25, mine is a 24.

Yes mine is a 2025 and the Dash behaves different then the 24 I am finding out. I like the way it is because in my 25 Bronco Sport Badlands Sasquatch is three click to the right (one to wake and two more to change mode) and my Explorer ST is the same three clicks to the right so easy to remember.

Have you been able to get the Tow Haul mode to work? I have the factory hitch with the module box and it will not show when I activate it.

 

[gbub]

Are you referring to a mode in the GOAT control. I am not aware of a mode for that in the Bronco.

I also have a the factory receiver and module that I programed with Forscan. I have not hooked up a trailer yet but have plugged in a test plug to see if it all worked correctly and it does. Towing shows up under features. Connection Test and Trailer Sway shows up under Towing. I have Trailer Sway turned on.

It is my understanding that the towing features are automatically activated when the trailer lights are plugged in.

In FORScan there is a specific Tow Haul Mode like the F150 which changes the shift points and will not let the trans go into overdrive. If you go into the ABS not the as built one you will see it there. I have the one under features but am looking for the one that is a GOAT mode or I guess a Drive Mode.

Non-Raptor versions of the bronco do not have a tow Haul mode.
Those settings can be seen in forscan.
That does not mean the firmware related those modules will allow that.

Worked on my 2025 Badlands.

Is it the same coding a other years?

I enabled it in FORScan and turned off another mode so there was space and the Tow Haul did not show on the Drive Mode Display.

Again, just because the setting is shown in forscan, does not mean that the IPC has the firmware to display or the ABS module to do that.
More likely than not. There's literally no display animation programmed into the instrument control panel to show you that mode.
The ABS doesn't have the programming for that on a firmware level.

Yes, just use the easy mode, not the As Built in Forscan. Very easy and intuitive.

 

[gbub]

I plan to just use Sport mode when towing. If I have more confidence that the Tow Haul mode actually works, I my try to enable it.

Global windows up/down, double honk gone, panic button on fob gone( I was setting it off several times a week). Have all GOAT modes.

The difference I noticed is sport selects 4A and Baja selects 4H. If you do use Baja, do not forget to switch to 2H or 4A. When you select Baja a screen pops up saying not for use on roads.

Question regarding using forscan to add sport mode - Were you able to successfully do so? I changed the third to last character to a B and I got an error saying my change might be wrong? I turned it on and Sport mode was added successfully. Also, is it fine to run in 4A at all times in sport mode?
