Hey All Is there a Forscan dat base to include 2019 PIU?
There used to be one bu the link does not work. Thanks in advance.

I was going to ask what happened to the old iCloud link that we had for the explorers, I checked a few links and can't find the more complete sheet. If there is interest, I'd love to build out a spreasheet that looks like the 15-20 F150 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...lview?pru=AAABc1M_UHk*qhI3NZ7Ph450X5uxDKVLcQ# sheet where it has nearly every value outlined and tells what each bit/value does. (see IPC Tab for example). Also here is a good example for the 11-14 f150: 2011-2014 F-150 As-Built Options - Google Drive

I can't find it but I also remember seeing a version that had settings for various IPC models (maybe that was in the inaccessible Explorer doc)

Does anyone know if the 11-15 and/or 16-19 explorers align with one of the generations of F150s to make comparing and checking values faster, I'm just amazed how complete the F150 sheets are. I'd be happy to clone one of the above f150 sheets (whichever matches ours best) and host it from my google account.

Has anyone explored the As Built Explorer app that was shared in the ForScan Forums? Seems to be a little hard to get data into that app due to the captcha that appears in the app right now but wondering if anyone has a large data set of explorer data already established to try and figure out the features & Forscan settings.

Mine came with the 2014 file. It was so easy to enable what I needed and write it.

You are talking about in Forscan correct? Yes there are a number of options that are there by default, but if you look at the settings availble compared to what they have found for the F150, we have a lot less options to configure and there are likely many more that are not in Forscan or the spreadsheet. "As Built Explorer" is a tool that someone built to let you compare a bunch of configurations and then narrow in on what manual settings could be made that might change other items not in the easy to configure settings in Forscan. Hopefully that makes sense.

The old icloud link doesn't work anymore. Here is a PDF version of what I grabbed from it before the link went bad. The Ford F-150 does not line up one for one. It is helpful and has allowed me to turn off TPMS (and other things) but some things were in different places.

With forscan on my 14 I have been able to add backup camera, turn off dark mode, add auto headlamps, add theater dimming, add Bluetooth radio input (one way), add AWD display, and turn off TPMS.

Compass won't work, doesn't have module. Will only show N all the time.
Auto lock/unlock won't work. Don't know why. Others on forum troubleshooted but never figured out.

This is exactly why I want to try and build out the Explorer spreadsheet more. Some of this seems a little inconsistent and lacking compared to some other Fords so that’s why I was hoping to figure out how to make a more complete list like the f150.

Great hearing the success you had with ForScan. I just got it finally working and se-up. But Im very green as far as navigation and how-to's.. My Main Goal is to FINALLY DISABLE the TPMS warning on my dash. Mine is a '12 Limited. I installed a small set of drop springs, and a set of 24x10 Rims & Tires. We've never been able to determine if they installed the wrong TPMS sensors prior to shipping me the rims & tires. I have been to 3 shops and each has there own reason as to why they cant reset it. Ive done the sequence a handful of times, as at least one of the shops I brought it too tried the sequence too with no luck ( Ignition on/off 3 x's, hold brake etc. etc. etc)

In Every Attempt, It's Failed in removing the TPMS Light.

Any pointers? (Example. Under x.. Heading, Select x.., and look for x... )
I'd GREATLY Appreciate ANY & ALL HELP!!!!!!!

Thank You & Anyone else Reading....

TPMS light can be disabled from the IPC and also you have to modify the entries in the BCM in order to work. i did it in mine a FPIU 2016, because i had a bad BCM that wasn't reading the sensors, be aware that if you disable it, you wont be able to see the tire pressure in the dash board.

For my 14 PIU I changed the BCM 726-22-01 from X1XX to X0XX. The second digit turns the TPMS on or off. 1 it is on. 2 it is off. With TPMS turned off the tire light comes on and then turns off when I start the car. The sensors are not programmed to the car and then you can run regular valve stems.

A quick update. There are two seat belt notification systems. Beltminder which goes off periodically while driving and the fasten seat belt which chimes three times as soon as you turn the car on. You can disable beltminder in Forscan easily enough. But even if you set the seat belt chime to off it still goes ding ding ding. The only way to disable it is to change the seatbelt warning strategy to outside the US.
Change 720-01-02 to XXXX X2XX. (Mine originally was a 0)

This will shut off the 3 chimes when you first turn the key on. This happens because the seat belt is not buckled yet.
