Until Ford add's some kind of way for us to view things such as charging rate, power consumed, and power regen, FORScan is our only solution. Disclaimer: Use software connected to your car at your own risk. While FORScan is generally very safe, be careful and don't do anything stupid. Just reading data will never damage your car. Changing programming (with extended license) or controlling systems can cause them to operate in ways they were not designed to operate.
Unfortunately as of today the current test build does not show battery current. It will show charger current so you can see that info as well as battery voltage - but you can't see how much power is coming in or out of the battery while driving yet. FORScan lite (phone app) isn't updated to work with Mach-E yet. That is also coming.
Test build download here. It works properly, just does not have all PIDs yet. http://forscan.org/download/FORScanSetup2.3.39.test20210310.exe - Note: this link may die at any time if they release a new beta. Most likely at that time the current release supports the Mach-E from their website.
This is not a priority for the FORScan team because lets be honest - this is an uncommon vehicle as of now. They're working hard on the new F150 among others.
Here is a quick FORScan guide I did not write but a good business associate of mine did http://www.2gfusions.net/showthread.php?tid=4573 - this is a thread on modifying as built data. I wouldn't modify the as built data but just use the initial connecting information. There really isn't much info on what we can do modifying as built in this car yet. You do not need the extended license to view live data.
This is my recommended OBD adapter: https://www.amazon.com/OBDLink-Blue...d=1&keywords=obdlink+mx&qid=1615477827&sr=8-2
This is my second recommended if you don't mind or want USB: https://www.amazon.com/OBDLink-EX-F...d=1&keywords=obdlink+ex&qid=1615477856&sr=8-2
Lastly if you're cheap you can get this you just have to flip the switch: https://www.amazon.com/VINT-TT55502...?dchild=1&keywords=vint&qid=1615477896&sr=8-1
You will need a WINDOWS installation to use FORScan. It will work in a VM or bootcamp on a Mac, but must be windows OS.
If you don't feel like reading the FORScan guide, simply connect to the car, save your profile, then go to the little oscilloscope tab. At the bottom you can click the wrench, select the module you want, then add PIDs to monitor. Hit play when the car is on and it will come alive.
Here is the list of modules in the Mach-E (at least in mine). Note: CAN-FD is new for Ford and is a flexible data rate CAN bus. Historically HS-CAN is fixed at 500kbps and MS-CAN is fixed at 128kbps.
CAN-FD
-PCM - Powertrain Control Module
-SOBDMC - Secondary OBD Control Module C
-SODR - Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right (blindspot sensor)
-SODL - Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (blindspot sensor)
-CMR - Camera Module Rear (I think this is actually the driver alert camera on the steering column)
-CCM - Cruise Control Module
-ABS - Antilock Brakes
-PSCM - Power Steering
-IPMA - Image Processing Module A (windshield camera, and all cameras as there is no IPMB like older Fords have)
-SODCMD - Side Obstacle Detection Control Module D
-SODCMC - Side Obstacle Detection Control Module C (not sure what these are, but not related to blind spot)
HS-CAN
-SOBDMB - Secondary OBD Control Module B
-BECM - Battery Energy Control Module
-SOBDM - Secondary OBD Control Module (on board battery charger)
-OBD II - PCM but what talks to emissions testing computers
-ACCM - Air conditioning Control Module
-PACM - Pedestrian Alert Control Module (outside of car speakers/backup dinger)
-DCDC - DC to DC Converter (12v battery charger/alternator)
-BdyCM - Body Control Module
-BECMB - Battery Energy Control Module B
-GWM - Gateway Module A (like a network switch to combine all networks together)
-OBCC - Off-Board Charger Control (to control DC Fast charging)
-BCMC - Body Control Module C
HS-CAN 2
-OCS - Occupant Classification System (passenger seat weight sensor)
-RCM - Restraint Control Module (airbag computer)
-GSM - Gear Shift Module
-SCCM - Steering column control module
HS-CAN 3
APIM- Accessory Protocol Interface Module (Sync 4 module)
DSP- (Audio) Digital Signal Processing Module (B&O amplifier)
ACM - Audio Control Module (non-B&O amplifier - though all cars are equipped. This is the radio tuner and SXM tuner)
WACM - Wireless Accessory Charging Module (wireless phone charger)
IPC - Instrument Panel Cluster
HS-CAN 4
TCU - Telematic Control Unit (cellular connection)
RFA - Remote Function Actuator (PAAK and key fob detection)
MS-CAN
DCMH - Door Control Module H
DCMG - Door Control Module G
DCME - Door Control Module E
DCMF - Door Control Module F (these control the electric door latch)
DDM - Drivers Door Module (controls windows/locks)
PDM - Passenger Door Module
GFM - Generic Function Module (controls various generic things like electric front trunk release)
RGTM - Rear Gate/Trunk Module
DSM - Driver Seat Module (memory seats)
HVAC - Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (Heater and interior fans/doors)
