Need help with ForScan

[scottieboy]

I hope I am posting this in the right section. So I have a windows laptop running Win10 a VINT ELM327 linked Here. It has worked well for me with my 2019 Ranger, and the 2014 FoST I used to have. However, ForScan is telling me that it is not recommended with my MME. The only module it will read from the vehicle is the PCM. What adapters are yall using for ForScan. I was hoping to make some changes, but I am currently stuck.

That's interesting that it works for your other two vehicles and not the Mach-E. I am using the Mongoose Plus J2534 Ford vehicle interface cable but that's because I need it for updating the car with FDRS. It has worked well with FORScan for many Mach-E's that I have re-configured modules plus several other Ford cars/trucks. I will assume you are using the latest version of FORScan 2.3.59. It is possible that your car is too new for the latest version of FORScan which I have had a couple of times in the past with other Mach-E's in which case you need to send them three files from the FORScan Log folder (FORScan.log, dump.bin, dump.bin.bak2) so they can send you an updated beta program until they implement your car in a newer software update.

If you don't get this working in the next couple of weeks, looks like I'm an hour away and next time on my way to Sac the week of the 15th, I can stop by and we can make the changes you want to make if you don't get this resolved before that.

Thank you for this information!!

I had to send the support email with the attached Forscan files to get Forscan to scan my 2023.5 successfully.
They responded with a link to a build with my Mach-E added to the database.
I've been Forscanning for years. Those folks are amazing.

I use 1 of 3 OBD adapters

Mongoose
OBDlink EX
OBDlink MX

When was your car built? Scottie's '23 was built in August so I assume it is a 2023.5 also?
