Ranger RAPTOR V6 FORScan spreadsheet?

[jrRaptor]

Hey boys! Look what I got here.

Hey, where the Walk Away Lock at?!??

I have no idea what I changed to turn this on, but it doesn't work yet (automatically disables itself). Since I conveniently disabled my steering wheel controls farting around in FORscan, I'm going to reset the truck back to factory and figure out how I turned this on as well as whatever the mysterious "A-seat" button I turned on under the heated seats menu is and does (it too automatically shuts off).

Edit: reset SCCM module and that fixed the steering wheel buttons. Still can't figure out walk away locks, but somehow managed to disable Audible Feedback. I'm stopping for now so I don't break anything.

Oh, seatbelt warning light (little red icon) was turned back on with setting Row 1 Col 1 and R1C5 to Fixed with Belt Minder. I can't remember what positions/settings are used for the back seats. Chimes and okay box are still disabled, which is nice.

I never could get it to work. Thinking it's not possible with this BCM.

Curious, anyone else try the brighter DRL like the F150? I tried and it didn't seem to work.

Is there anything for enabling “Global Windows”? I see it in the owners manual, but the factory menu in my pickup doesn’t have a “Windows” tab.

Same here...my 2024 Lariat mentions global windows in the manual, but it's not appearing in settings under vehicle. I called the dealer and they said it worked on another 24 Lariat on the lot. (Job 1 build, May 16-22) Only thing I can guess is that my Lariat is a Job 2 build (built Aug 7-14) and perhaps Ford decided to delete the feature? Had my truck in for service last week to add SecuriCode I and asked if they could enable it with their software tool. I was told my truck didn't have the capability when they tried. Also wondering if the deletion had anything to do with the window closing recall for July and previous builds. My next step is to call Ford Customer Service to get a final answer.

It was the settings for the DRL brightness for the F150. It'll come up if Google it

Hi All

I have used forscan spreadsheet on my ford Ranger Raptor to disable Auto Start-Stop, unfortunately it has disable the sign on the cluster only and the car option is still working and when I press on the button it start the engine again.

Is there anything else I can do with it?

Hi,you can use an auto stop start eliminator. You can check one here:

Ok. Finally got my dongle and license. I have been able to do the following successfully I think...

1. Remove the stupid seat belt stuff (now the regular warning light is off too... what do I need to turn the warning light back on?)
2. Set seat positioning to 2-2-0 configuration so the rear middle seat should never be active.
3. Approach lighting now works when walking up to the truck
4. Turned off the full screen warning when using the camera while driving (haven't tested it yet)
5. Changed headlamps to use last known position on start instead of auto. May change this back, but I prefer off as standard.
6. Changed door open mode in IPC(?) to disabled from manual or auto trans. This may have gotten rid of the put trans in neutral warning when opening the door. I have no driver's door chime or warning now.
7. Turned on something regarding headlights that looked to be for matrix (city use, I think?).

What did I screw up? What did I forget?

Does using forscan void warranty with Ford?

If Ford determines something you changed caused the failure you take it in for, then yes. Otherwise, probably not. It's a lot like any aftermarket mod you do, it's at the dealership's discretion.

Anytime owners mess around with ECU software, toggle settings, it’s a grounds for warranty refusal/denial. Unless, it’s explicitly permitted or authorized by the manufacturer.

It’s proprietary, copyrighted, software, and they don’t want anyone modifying it. So every time it’s illegally accessed and modified, the owner runs the risk of a warranty denial. That’s just the way it works.

Forscan is a bootlegged, access, software, not Ford authorized or permitted, so it’s in the realm of unauthorized access. No Magnuson Moss Act or consumer protection agency is going protect an owner who utilizes it either.

All Ford has to do is show unauthorized evidence of access……that’s it.

Yikes. I’m steering clear then

By law in the USA, Ford would need to prove that your modifications were a contributing cause of the issue before they can deny you warranty. So it's still pretty safe to be doing this if you do it the correct way.

Ford has both the engineering and lawyer clout, you as an owner don’t. They can prove anything you’ve done to their propriety software. Magnuson moss, isn’t gonna save an owner in this case.

There's nothing safe or ethical about messing around with ECU toggle settings, especially if you’re willing to lie about it in order to submit/save a warranty claim.

The only “ correct way” is to have a Ford technician accomplish the modification if authorized. You want to play you’re going to pay.

It is 100% ethical to modify software on a device that you own. I'm a software developer and absolutely encourage everyone to modify, customize and hack their devices after it has been legally purchased. It's your right as the owner of a product to do so.

It doesn't matter if Ford has engineering and lawyer clout. The law says what it says -- ford needs to prove your changes directly caused the warranty claim. Me modifying my headlights to have the anti-glare feature is not going to get a warranty denied for the engine, axles, drivetrain, etc. This has been discussed multiple times on this forum and on every other ford vehicle forum. Thousands of people modify their ford vehicles via forscan and have their warranty claims honored.

Also, literally no one is saying you should lie about anything. Ford can see what you modified via their logs.

Quit fearmongering. If someone wants to modify their vehicle via ForScan, the chances of it causing issues with warranty are near 0 and there is ample evidence that this is correct.

Your statement above " All Ford has to do is show unauthorized evidence of access……that’s it. " is 100% incorrect according to USA law.

edit: i'm not going to continue responding to that user which will only get this thread off-topic + i've blocked him anyway. For anyone else reading, you can browse the f150, bronco, maverick, mach-e, etc forums for this exact situation and see many examples of forscan edits not effecting a user warranty claim. this tool has been around for years (if not over a decade) and unless you directly cause the issue, you shouldn't have any problems with your vehicle warranty. almost everyone that decides to make these changes has done this research and come to the same conclusion.
