Forscan

[rocket442]

24 B-Raptor. Pro cal installed. Using the recommended OBD. my goal is to go in and do some audio tweaks. I plug in...create profile using the match number from pro-cal. Creats the 3.0 l raptor profile. When I connect only power train modules show up. Nothing else. No AFCM. i did change ghe ms-can to RTS delay...but it still only picks up the power train...i think it was pcm.
any forscan wizards here....?

Sounds either to be a connector issue or forscan software version issue.

What cable did you get?
What version are you running?

This is a classic hurdle when using FORScan on a Ford vehicle that has a Ford Performance ProCal tune installed.
Because the ProCal tool overwrites the factory PCM strategy/calibration ID with its own custom software string, FORScan gets confused. When it reads that modified PCM ID, it fails to recognize the overall vehicle footprint, defaults to a baseline fallback profile, and stops scanning for the rest of the network modules (like the ACM/Audio Control Module or BCM).
Here is how to get past the gatekeeper and see the rest of your modules:
### 1. Delete Your Current Profile
FORScan loves to cache bad or incomplete connection profiles.
* Open FORScan, go to the **Settings/Vehicle** tab, find the saved profile for the Raptor, and **delete it completely**.
### 2. Force the Factory Strategy ID
When you reconnect to the truck, FORScan will look at the ProCal tune and throw a prompt that looks like this:
> *"If PCM has a custom tune installed, please enter strategy/calibration name or part number of FACTORY PCM..."*
>
This is the exact bottleneck. Instead of using the custom calibration ID number provided by the ProCal software, you need to input the **original factory PCM strategy code** (or a known compatible factory strategy for a 2024 3.0L Raptor).
* If you didn't write down your original factory strategy before flashing the ProCal, look at the physical sticker on the plastic PCM casing under the hood for the base hardware part number, or check the forum spreadsheets for a stock '24 Raptor strategy string.
* By manually forcing a factory ID into that text box, FORScan will say, *"Ah, I know exactly what truck this is,"* and will proceed to query the Central Gateway (GWM) to populate the entire module tree.
### 3. Check the Gateway Switch (HS-CAN / MS-CAN)
You mentioned tweaking the RTS delay, but make sure the adapter configuration itself isn't blocking the handshake:
* **If using a switched adapter (like an ELM327 with a toggle toggle switch):** Make sure you start the scan with the switch on **HS-CAN**. FORScan must read the high-speed modules first. It will explicitly prompt you when to flip the mechanical switch to MS-CAN to read the audio/comfort modules. If you start on MS-CAN or toggle early, the scan fails.
* **If using an auto-switching adapter (like an OBDLink EX or vLinker FS):** Ensure the FORScan connection settings for "Connection Type" are set to **Auto** rather than forced serial/COM port configurations.
### 4. A Note on Newer Model Years (The 2024+ Factor)
Because it's a 2024 model year, you may also be running into a software definition gap. The baseline public version of FORScan occasionally struggles to pull the full module mapping for brand-new model years with custom tunes.
If forcing the factory strategy still yields nothing but the PCM, jump onto the official FORScan forums and request the **latest Beta release build** from the developers. The beta builds include updated module sub-definition files specifically tailored to handle newer architecture handshakes.
For a great step-by-step visual on navigating the initialization sequence and reading modules without messing with the complex "As-Built" hex blocks, check out this FORScan Instructional and Setup Guide. It explains how to access the simplified plain-text menus for audio and module tweaks, which makes changing parameters a lot safer.

You obvisouly didn't look east while holding your breath and curling your toes during the buley-teethless handshake.
