FORScan

[LILFOOT]

Has anyone used or heard of FORScan ?



I found it while researching for the remote start info.

I use an OBDLink to check my engine data when needed,

and apparently it also works well with the FORScan software.



I have only downloaded my module info and ran the DTC check.

Pretty crazy, but it found 4 codes, that were not visible under a scan through Torque or the OBDLink program.



I will hopefully have some time this weekend to see what i can do with it.

I have used it as well. I, too, was surprised to find a couple of trouble codes when I ran the scan. I did a quick reset and all is good. I have used the Forscan to turn on the DRL feature on my wife's 2013 Edge, but other than than no mods.



On my son's 2004 Explorer he had noticed that the brakes seemed to be a bit on the soft side. I drove it and noticed that the ABS seemed to be kicking in a little early, and it was a little low on brake fluid. I did an ABS module reset, added an ounce or so of fluid, and all is good.



Very powerful program actually if you are willing to do actual coding of modules. I am not, but the ability to scan for and reset DTC's is pretty cool.
