F150 Lightning FORscan thread

[Firn]

Hmmm

HCM (Headlight Control Module) shows a bit that can be flipped to enable "Showroom Mode".

Easy enough to try but my guess is there is a specific routine needed to get it to display the "showroom mode", any thoughts?

Has anyone with a '24 Lightning (Lariat if it matters) got the glare free headlights to work? The spreadsheet (by livnitup) shows many settings to change in the Common tab. I can access all of them except the HCM 734-01-04. My truck only shows 734-01-01 and 734-01-02, but nothing past that in the first block so there is nothing to change.

Also, if I go to the "HCM (2024 Lightning)" tab in the spreadsheet, it doesn't list anything for 734-01-04 either. So why is that specified in the Common tab?

Has anyone with a '24 got that to work and if so, what values did you modify?

Here is a FORScan mod I applied a few days ago that I really like. The Lightning is annoying in that if you turn the truck on without your seat belt buckled, it chimes 4 times. (My routine is to hop in my vehicle, turn it on, then buckle my seat belt while it warms up (ICE) or boots.)

This mod changes the seat belt warning type from US to European. Now you get no chimes when starting the vehicle unbuckled. But you still get chimes if you start driving without being buckled (at an increasingly annoying level). Can't say if that part is any different.

IPC: 720-01-02: xxxx x2xx
Note this assumes the previous value was 0. If your value is different than 0 then add 2. Always refer to Livinitup's spreadsheet if unsure.

[sigh]...was trying to enable a few things with the headlights and now lost glare free and bending lights.

What's weird is the IPC shows the running light icon for all settings now (except off).

Common tab is for ICE trucks so not ideal. I cannot offer a fix but I can recommend looking at each individual change for the 22-23 and then find each of those settings for the 24.
Also, I downloaded the entire spreadsheet and search it for the acronyms used

Problem!

So, as mentioned above I dorked up my glare free lights. Before just resetting the data I wanted to compare modules, and DANG, glad I did.

Using Notepadd++ I did a "Diff" between my original unmodified As Built files and a save done just a few minutes ago.

In the IPMA only there are EIGHTY FIVE lines that have differences, most in block 29 "SensorCfg_DPAC_Homography3 (SCDPACH)". The current values do not match either my first no-changes save nor does it match the factory config downloaded (just now) from the Motocraft site.
-Of note, it looks like some of my early changes have updated on the motocraft site but not ones made later. I also did attempt some effort into lane centering that I have since reverted.

So the question is, revert to my original "no change" files? Or did I get a silent update and now my original save file is worthless? Happy to roll back all changes and start over, just need to make sure I won't mess anything up.

Not sure I follow that, but every time I start a Forscan session I back up the modules I'm going to modify. In just two years the SW has changed quite a bit and added many lines to some of the files.

So if you are comparing files to when you first got your truck and started using Froscan to now - I would NOT restore those files with many fewer lines.

The easiest thing is to go to https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt and enter your VIN. Your truck will upload to Ford and update this information, but sometimes it is days behind. Go pull it down now for your truck and it may still be before you made this last round of updates. Then pull the lines you want to compare from there.

The next best thing is to find a truck with your same trim level/options and on the same SW and get a copy of the files from a matching truck.

I edited my comment some so sorry for that.

My original save files are from about a month ago and I have not received any updates since then (that I know of anyways).

It appears to be the same number of lines, just changes to the values in the lines themselves.

I routinely save my As-Built files from the Motorcraft site. I had my IPMA module updated by the dealer on 9/25. If I look at the differences between 8/30 and 9/30, I see 93 different lines in the IPMA module. Here are the first 10 differences: (Line 1's are after the update, line 2's are before update, checksums are not displayed):

I was not aware of that tool - very nice. Its been about a month since I had an update, I'll take the opportunity to download my latest file as it exists.

You can load up to 4 files and it will show differences in red. Works with either FORScan .abt files (which you have to save one module at a time AFAIK), or the Motorcraft .ab files.

 

[ktn]

your settings worked for me to have cameras at speed, however, it goes to the camera as soon as i go into drive mode... any way to change that?

Did you ever solve this?

 

[dippinMike]

Did you ever solve this?

no I reverted back, I have not seen a fix. I got rid of the message when you bring the camera up, but that’s all so far

 

[bmwhitetx]

Did you have the dealer do the Front Sensor CSP? That changed the IPMA dramatically.
