F150 Lightning FORscan thread

[rugedraw]

This is likely some information that could be of use over on the ICE forum. I believe they are having troubles with the '24 ICE getting Glare Free enabled and even for Canada trucks they are not coming enabled from the factory. This could also indicate a change for the ICE truck hardware.

The 2024's F150 is different in architecture. They seem to be more similar to a 2024 Mustang from what I have been seeing. For sure the IPC changed; BCM changed, too, as those are capable of having walk-away locking enabled. I'm sure the real experts know what all the differences are at this point, but a there are a few changes in hardware.

If I understand correctly, the IPC no longer has a brain, so to speak. It is controlled by the APIM. The new Mustangs got an APIM OTA that gave them new gauges they can put on the IPC. In the past, only IPC updates did that.

I hadn't followed all of those changes. Guaranteed signs that the Lightning has been left behind and should die in its current incarnation. At least they will all year models should be very similar. That isn't a bad thing. Will be interesting to see when the T3 comes along.

The F150 and Lightnings are very similar. I doubt they implemented those changes on the F150 and not on its EV brethren.

Yep, and just to be clear, the glare free has been the only thing i have had a hard time getting to work. all other changes I've made have been seamless. I only needed a test build to make the change to the IPMA because it kept failing at 8%. Once i received the test build, I just used the Forscan codes to make the changes as normal. One other quick note, I attempted to do the rain sensor upgrade on my flash and it turns out that i have no 12V at the plug for the sensor, despite actually having the plug there. It must just be a dummy plug.

Several of us have had the rain sensing issue. This thread has some more info. I haven’t tried to buy the wiring harness yet but that looks like the solution.

I've looked into it myself and while i don't mind putting the harness in, i really don't need everything else that comes with the kit. i already have the sensor and i don't need the stalk. just the harness.

EDIT; That's actually my thread

Since this reminded me I just sent a message to see if Infotainment is willing to sell just the harness. I’ll let you know what I hear.

Thank you! I also tried to send a message about it, but never received a response. Definitely let me know what they tell you.

Got the ZONE LIGHTING Feature added to my PRO thanks to @Livnitup and the Install help of @GDN !

***Just to be clear, this is a LIGHTNING only Forscan change. Cant be used on the ICE truck if there are any lurkers ***

Here are the codes to make the change and we also reset the modules after we made the changes.

We were hoping that APP would show the ZONE LIGHTING feature after this, but it has not shown up yet. Hopefully it will show up in a few days after the mothership sees it .

The great thing is the Zone Lighting also activates trailer lights, so I added some rear spots from @4x4TruckLEDs.com

Yes they are bright but I don't really drive at night. However they should come in handy this summer in the mountains of Colorado maybe.

Yes, it is a PRO. I got added the running boards from another Forum members Lariat and those lights were plug and play with the truck when they were installed.

I have a '22 Pro without Tow Tech Package or zone lighting. It appears I need to have Zone Lighting to enable my installs of the Running board Puddle lights using the pigtail to the plugs under the truck, and the stock bed lights and switch. I have Forscan and I am successfully connected to the truck I am just not familiar with where to put these values mentioned. @Livnitup and @GDN @livinitup Is there a tutorial or direction I am missing? Thanks for any guidance.

Take a look at my FORScan tutorial here and the codes should make more sense.

 

[turbobeast]

Perfect! Thank you for the link to the explanation. I made all the changes described in that explanation. I now have the zone lighting option in Features. However the added bed lights and switches are still not working and it will not let me select the side puddle lights. Any other suggestions from the hive? Thanks again.

 

[turbobeast]

Still no luck. This morning I rechecked the physical install and verified that all values that are listed and reset the DTC's. The post mentions that " we also reset the modules after we made the changes. " What function are they referring to? I also restarted the truck a few times and drove it around for good measure. Thank again

 

[BhamDCam]

I’m confused by the references to Zone Lighting here. I have a Pro ER and I’ve always had the Zone Lighting feature on my display screen. Now, I don’t have max tow or trailer tech and the “zones” are simply the front and rear lights (no side zones or puddle lights), but the feature has always been there.

Are there some Pro owners out there where the Zone Lighting feature did not come enabled on the truck?
