    Default Forscan 2021 F150 F up

    Anyone use this program? Friend of mine has it with unlimited licenses and most recent update and I screwed some shit up today. F.

    What could go wrong with meeting a buddy for a quick pit stop in sandy run for a little computer tweaking? I changed high beams to be low, high, fog, cut off auto stop start, turned off the chirps when exiting vehicle with key in pocket and engine running, attempted to make it where if car was running and I was away from vehicle with key it would not go in drive. All seemed to go according to plan and went in the BP for lunch.

    Come out, start truck annnnnd damn thing wont come out of park. Tried to restore factory settings and it said it did and looked like it did but audible honk w key still disabled and so was auto start stop. Screwed around for over an hour and Couldnt fix it. Used manual shift override lever to get back to chas and parked it at the dealership, more choice words. And now here I sit waiting on a report from them tomorrow.

    Shaking head…..

    Definitely sucks. He has done quite a few ford trucks w the forscan but this was first time with 2021+ and it didn’t end well.

    I am wondering if the setting that wont let it leave park without the key in truck is what did it but not sure. That setting is a quote police mode setting which is ideal when working accidents or whatever where I get out and leave vehicle running in an unsecured situation to avoid some jackass stealing my truck while I am attending to business on a med or fire call.

    Edit: I hate I had you tweak the tahoe and then I sold it so quickly after but I wasnt playing the burning oil game at 68k miles and ditched it. Work changed and I got a truck and sold tahoe and put my wife in a car.

    When you flash the BCM on a Ford you have to have both keys. Don’t ask me why.. this came out when “ My Key” came about.

    One way you could check it would be try key #2 and see if truck is normal.

    Thank you for posting this.

    I keep telling myself to figure out how to get forscan and this brings me back to reality. I’ll just screw something up.

    Once you lose your forscan you can't just go buy more. What are you thinking bro?

    Update. Ford dealer was slammed and took about 2 weeks to get truck back. Said they had to replace the gear shift assembly twice and mess with programming. All set now.

    Autostop start still disabled but the damn thing honks at me again when I get out with key in pocket while truck is running.

    That's why I still haven't upgraded mine... 05' F150 with 200k on the clock... I haven't seen a new truck in the last 5 years that hasn't scared me away with all the issues....
