    My dude. This is an absolute awesome video/tutorial and just the nudge I've been needing to push ahead with my modifications. I greatly appreciate the time, effort and most importantly clear annunciation of what you say. Looking forward to watching more of your videos soon when time permits. I've like, subscribed and offered real world thanks. Communities are better with kind folks such as yourself selflessly putting in the effort to help others. Thanks bro!

    If anybody has documentation on Ford's CAN protocol and device codes you don't need to pay for Forscan or any other tool, open source tools will work just as well.
    It can be done with a Raspberry Pi with a CAN daughter board. Getting the information needed is the tricky part. I just got a 2023 Bronco, now I'll probably spend the weekend building a CAN sniffer.

      A bunch of changes I made were to just 2 or 3 BCM blocks...
      I wrote it all out on paper before I committed to flashing, just to be sure.
      I previously made a mistake somewhere, and had one of my signals start out normal then go rapid flash! 🤣🤷

    Intriguing. You have a very good understanding of the technological side of the vehicle.
    My sport also developed a harsh 3 shift and the speed is usually 1-2 km slow.
    I had no idea it was seemingly that easy to correct.
    Interestingly my sport came new with the global windows up and down enabled. I wonder if on the Bronco it’s something to do with the removable doors as to why it isn’t factory enabled.
    Great video

      Ford probably makes 7 or 8 different switch housing that'll fit/work, depending on your options.

    This is a great video except one thing. None of the codes under BdyCM does not exist. I want to prevent the exterior lights from coming on when you open the door or start the vehicle. How do I do this? I have a 2021 Bronco Sport.

    • @TLOverlander
      @TLOverlander  Рік тому

      If the option isn't listed in the plain English section, or if nobody know which code that uotion is under, you're on your own. Of course, some people just experiment to try and find what each line does. But I wouldn't recommend that.

    Great video man. Thank you. Maybe you can help with this. I recently replaced my steering rack and now I get a steering assist fault error on my screen and the lane assist does not work on my badlands. Any thoughts on using ODB to tell it there is a new steering rack?

      @TLOverlander  Рік тому

      Yeah, it should be as simple as a service function relearn...
      See if you can see the control module for the power steering in "Service" to reset it or force it into relearn. Apart from that, is it giving you any diagnostic trouble codes?

    The Lonely Overlander,
    The license is only around $20.00 per year. How much would it have costed you to have this programing work done at a dealer if they even would have done it. I am still running on my 2 month free version but when that runs out I will be getting the paid version. $20.00 is such a small fee plus it supports the owner or owners who created Forscan. I do not want to sound like a dick but sometimes someone needs to.

    • @TLOverlander
      @TLOverlander  Рік тому

      Yeah, I totally get that...
      If I was more into experimenting and messing around in there, I'd definitely pay as well.
      The only reason I renewed my 2 month license was to just do this video.
      If someone figures out how to get another 50Hp and 10MPG, with it, it'll likely stay unused again for awhile.
      Thanks for checking out the episode 👍

      DTC error was in the PCM?
      Don't do a reset or relearn on it, you apparently have to run the PCM "service" function.
      Run RELEARN on the AWD
      Then clear the DTC
