Ford Maverick DIY - How To Add Lane Keep Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition for $45 and Forscan!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I just picked up my 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid XLT. It did not come with the Copilot 360 as I wanted as few options as possible so it would get built. Unfortunately that meant no lane keep assist or blind spot warnings. See More Below!
Thankfully the Maverick shares a lot of parts/coding with the Bronco Sport and Escape and people have figured out how to start adding in options their vehicle didn't come with - like the Lane Keep Assist!
The tools/parts you will need:
7mm socket/wrench
T8 torx socket
Plastic pry tool
Forscan w/ OBD2 adapter and the free extended license
Windows laptop
Turn signal stalk with lane keep assist. I used the cheaper version from an Explorer. Part# LB5T13335DAW. The part number on the box is LC5Z-13341-DA. You could also use the turn signal stalk from a Lincoln Aviator or Corsair if you wanted the extra chrome trim and gloss black look. The part number may also end in "BAW" instead of "DAW". Price for the turn signal switch I've seen as low as $45 new for the Ford Explorer style.
The entire process should take around 15-30 minutes. Most of that time is making sure the Forscan changes are done correctly.
1. Remove the two 7mm bolts at the bottom front of the steering column. Pry the clips from around the edges and the key hole rubber area. This will allow access to the turn signal stalk.
2. Remove the two T8 torx bolts at the top and bottom of the turn signal stalk. They are easy to strip out and drop, so take your time with these.
3. Insert the new turn signal stalk with the Lane Keep Assist button.
4. Put the steering column cover back on.
5. Make changes in Forscan.
You can get a Forscan cable here if you don't have one:

Your Forscan changes needed may not be the same as mine as I have the same 4" instrument cluster as the XL and XLT. The Lariat without copilot 360 and the larger 6" screen will need different changes. I followed the instructions on what to change from mavericktruckclub.com at the below links. Before making any changes with Forscan make a backup for that module. You can also download your entire vehicle's As-Built data from Ford's website here if you forgot and need to reset everything.

I first made all the changes to add lane keep assist, then made the changes for adding traffic sign recognition. I didn't have any problems and could easily go back to original.

Do you think this should be included on every Maverick? Have it as a dealer add-on? I'll be making more videos for the Maverick soon. Hit that subscribe button to see what I do!
#Maverick #Hybrid #Forscan #LaneKeepAssist #F50
Thanks for the video dude. Good to see a Maverick channel based in my town! Just got my XLT FX4 and planning to do the same Forscan settings
FX4 has the nicer cluster screen. Good choice. Forscan settings will be a little different than what I used, but instructions are still the same.
@@HeartlandRebuilds Do you happen to have a link to any instructions for FX4? I used forscan to enable the TSR but I'm not seeing any signs pop up currently on my cluster. I do use waze on apple carplay though so that at least tells me the speed limi
@@reignsupreme9781 I used these instructions - www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/traffic-sign-recognition-tsr-forscan-mod-confirmed-working.9399/ - I'm not sure which method to use for the FX4 cluster. I changed the settings manually. I think they updated Forscan to have it be a quick change button now, but you still need to turn it on in the cluster menu.
Awesome video! I need to do this mod. If your ever in FL and feel like doing it again please let me know lol
Super easy mod to do.
Great stuff, thanks! What about going a bit further and change cruise control to adaptive cruise control now?
That would be cool!
Great video...I have an FX4 on order so like you said that would give me the different screen like the Lariat. Yes it should be a dealer option to add on like the door keypad now. I cant wait to apply this hack when I get mine. Thanks for this. 😎😎😎
I can't believe they are making the door keypad a battery powered stick on now. A little jealous of the Lariat cluster, I may have to replace mine with one.
So what's the black box on the front of the lariat, I've got a 2024 hybrid and love it so far had it one week I end up getting the XLT luxury package with the 360 copilot but I feel I can do more 😅
@@HeartlandRebuildssame lol
Just enabled traffic sign recognition today. Thanks for the help. I guess a new turn stalk is needed for lane departure warnings since it didn't work for me just using forscan. BTW, I appear to have a nearly identical Maverick (atlas blue XLT, spray in bed liner) and travel that stretch of Dodge every day.
Yeah, you need the button on the turn signal stalk to activate the lane keep assist.
I never used a forscan tool before. Where would i get one and could you make an in depth video on how to use it with the windows computer
That's a good idea. Forscan is a windows program that uses an OBD2 cable/adapter to change some programming for the modules. It's free to use and to make changes you need an "extended" license that is also free, but it's only valid for 60 days at a time.
Are you sure this stop my warranty?
Amazing!
Thanks!
I cant understand why Ford is blocking these functions. I have enabled the eco/sport option and windows control by the remote control. So, everything is in there. Ford must enable all of these option for an extra. Does not make any sense block them
have you tried to talk to Ford in the US?
Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Brazil
Has this been recently to a ‘24 XLT successfully? I’m planning to do it this week.
This is impressive. Does your version of lane keep pull the wheel back like the Lariat trim or just give warnings? The Lariat basically drives itself around curves.
It will straighten out and assist a little, but isn't the same as the centering on a Lariat.
Super cool. Do you know what part of the warranty it cancels? I know the hybrid portion I think has 100,000 mi warranty.
It only voids any warranty if Ford can prove the part or thing modified was the cause of the failure. Generally speaking, they frown upon modifying of any programming. It is a Ford part and they probably wouldn't even care unless you pointed it out to them at a dealership. So, anything related to the turn signal stalk may be in question.
@@HeartlandRebuildsI just bought mine used. I could probably blame it on the old owner
When your traffic sign background changes to black, does it stay on forever or disappear after about 1 or 2 minutes? I have the 24 Lariat, which now has Lux built in and my sign will not turn to black after a minute or so. Instead, the sign will just disappear after 1 or 2 minutes. When I pass the next sign, it then shows again for a minute or so and disappears again. Thanks
Can you add adaptive cruise control to a 2024 XL with Forscan? I want it so bad. If not what do I have to add to get that ability?
There's been a few people who added it. You'll need the front radar unit, some wiring, and a few other things. May be cost prohibitive though.
will that work on a fiesta 1.0 ecoboost also??? the Traffic Sign Recognition
I have the lane keep assist.
Probably would, though I don't have a fiesta to try it on. You would need to get a copy of forscan and see what settings you could change.
So the new 2024 XL already got lane keep with the 360 package. Do i just need to forscan it to get the road sign display?
Yes, just need to run Forscan and enable the traffic sign recognition.
West Dodge Expressway, I'm in Papillion
Yep. Smoothest section of pavement in Omaha.
Thank you for adding your code sheets, I looked at them and saw one of my mistakes fixed it and now it works
After this mod. Did your instrument cluster display no longer shows a Ford logo when you first key on? Also missing trip summary at key off
Trip summary works fine after key off. I never paid attention to the Ford logo before or after.
I don’t get it. Basically you find the section of what the guide tells you and replace whatever value is already programmed exactly as written? Does that sound right
That's exactly it. Just follow the guide and replace the values with what's listed. Always make a backup before making changes so if you put a wrong value in you can change it back.
That's how I got FACTORY cruise control on my '22 XL, with TSR and for the rest of the upgrades. Also have FACTORY electronic locking tailgate. Using '22 Ranger actuator and wiring harness. Simple .5 hour job!!
What settings did you change? You skipped over the entire part where you set them. I'm following the MTC tutorial and under IPC change it only has two blocks, my hybrid with 4" cluster has 3 blocks.
I skipped over the part where I changed them because there are a lot of different changes you need to make depending on what options you have. You need to follow the tutorials on MTC linked in the video depending on if you want lane keep assist, or speed limit recognition, or both.
@@HeartlandRebuilds OK I actually got it working, I referenced the wrong block. But now, I don't have the trip report at the end when turning off the vehicle (showing miles traveled, mpg etc). Is this working on yours still?
It works OK but I would like to see about doing the ACC and lane centering mod in the future.
@@HeartlandRebuilds Back up and working completely. The tutorial on MTC is for ecoboost. The last two parameters are for ecoboost clusters and will kick out the hybrid trip computer stats at the end of every from. 720-10-01 and 720-10-02 shouldn't be changed if you have a hybrid. You never changed yours but the page has them listed.
I just got my maverick today. Its the xlt. Pretty much basic. With only back up camera. Will it work with my maverick. Thanks
Yes it will. Every Maverick, XL to Lariat has the same front camera in the windshield. You just need to activate the speed limit recognition with Forscan. If you want to also add lane keep assist, you will need to replace the turn signal stalk with one that has the button on it, then add that change in Forscan as well.
Does this require your mirrors to also have blind spot sensors already, or is this strictly only using the rear view camera in the front windshield?
This only uses the front camera in the windshield. You do not need the blind spot mirrors or taillights.
@@HeartlandRebuilds That's excellent to hear, I'll order the turn signal stalk then and finish it. I already did the Forscan part of it.
I really appreciate your response and the information. If you happen to know if I can install power mirrors (at least just the directional moving mirror glass) to my hybrid XL I'd love to complete that quest one day too 😁
Do I need the Forscan extended license for this? I bought the OBD adapter linked in your description but I’m getting a log message saying the adapter won’t allow for full Forscan functionality. Thanks for any help.
You'll need the extended license. There's a two month free trial or you can pay for a 1 year license.
@@HeartlandRebuilds Thanks!
Mine doesnt have the orange alert only the red for the lane keep assist, Any Idea as to why?
That just depends on how far over they line you get. Can set to warn or assist.
will it keep you in the lane actively or it only buzzes the steering wheel?
You can set it to buzz only, but I have it set to move the steering wheel over. You can always override it with a little more force while turning.
Would this work on my 2022 ford XL or no?
Yes. Every year Ford Maverick.
Is there a way to add lane centering?
Yes, however it is nowhere near as easy. You need to have active cruise control added if you don't already have it. If you search on mavericktruckclub dot com you will find most of the answers.
Currently on the wait list for a 2024. Does the base model have cruise control? If not, is it also possible to add? Thanks.
Base model has cruise control since 2023. You can also add it to the 2022 models with a new steering wheel button and Forscan.
I have a 2024 hybrid and under drivers assistance I don’t have the blind spot or lane keeping feature. Any way to get those added?
@@nutmegmike4627 I'm not sure, I added small convex mirrors to my side mirrors to see my blind spots. Total cost $4.
Do you think this will work for my 2022 ford maverick xlt
Yes. It works on every XL or XLT.
Do you need a front sensor or something for the speed limit sign thing?
No extra sensors needed. Every Maverick already has the front camera, even the XL base models. You just need to turn on the option with Forscan!
Wow 😅
Is the lane assist the feature where the vehicle keeps itself between the lines? Or is it just a warning vibration in the steering wheel
It will turn the wheel a little and vibrate if it goes too far over the lines.
@@HeartlandRebuildsdoes this require any certain packages on the truck such as the 360 copilot or whatever?
@@Kyle-to4zz nope. Every Maverick can enable/add these features.
Hi, do you have the link where I can buy the switch to install the lane, watch the same as the video, thank you
I couldn't find anything on Amazon, but you can find them if you search LB5T13335DAW or LC5Z-13341-DA on eBay. They are the same turn signal switch on the Ford Explorer.
@@HeartlandRebuilds Thank you brother, congratulations on your channel
How come no chicken cam?

Does losing the Warranty mean that the ower has to pay out of pocket for ALL the work that's subject to warranty such as recalls!?! That's a bit spooky.
The warranty is only voided if the dealership can prove the part at fault failed due to the modifications. Recalls are valid for any vehicle, modified or not.
@@HeartlandRebuilds Good to know. Is the Computer Codes different for XL Hybrid?!
I believe the instructions are the same for XL and XLT if you have the basic instrument cluster.
Which is why I use NEW Ford Parts for any additional options. My favorite was a Ranger rear camera harness, when added to the Ranger actuator gives you a power locking tailgate. Super convenient!@@HeartlandRebuilds
Also, NO Forscan is needed for locking tailgate.
How can I determine which functions, if any, are already installed but not activated?
The Maverick Forscan area online is still being built up. Any Maverick can activate the traffic sign recognition. Most vehicles however will only have things activated that are installed, hence needing to add the turn signal switch to activate lane keep assist.
Are you saying that my “basic” Maverick XLT can detect speed signs? No mods?@@HeartlandRebuilds
@@noelkuck3391 no hardware changes. It just needs turned on with Forscan.
Oh, I thought that I needed a different turn signal lever, too, like the above video?@@HeartlandRebuilds
@@noelkuck3391 turn signal switch is only for the lane keep assist.
Will this void your warranty?
Any modification will only void the warranty if the modification directly caused the problem. If you tell Ford you've modified the computer and later have problems with the computer, then they can say it isn't covered under warranty. This is using factory Ford parts and changing the settings to allow the use of existing hardware. You'll likely never have a problem.
@@HeartlandRebuilds thank you i will order this one for maverick xlt 23
Will it work with the hybrid?
Yes. I recorded this on a hybrid.
@HeartlandRebuilds yes I realized that after I asked, my apologies. But I have one more. Will it really void the warranty?
Can a f550 be upgraded? I know some same year models have it but mine does not.
I don't know what the turn signal switch looks like on your F550. The important part is if your truck has the front camera at the top of the windshield for emergency braking.
I prefer to just pay attention to what I’m doing than pay extra for lane assist etc Insurance discount is pitiful
Normally I would agree. I've used lane keeping before on a MKS. It is useful when if you get distracted and drift towards a lane line.
