2011-2014 FORSCAN / AS-built spreadsheet???

[wanderer701]

Hello, I am currently looking for the FORscan spreadsheet, also known as the AS-built options, for 2011 and newer Mustangs. I found links related to the 2011-2014 F150s and S550, but it seems there aren't any postings regarding S197 programmable codes. I am trying to disable the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) on my 2011 5.0 Mustang. I have already disabled them on my 2006 GT, but there doesn't seem to be any discussion on the programmable codes for the 2011 models.

You ever end up finding one? I took an looking for one, or I will start one :-(

 

[wanderer701]

Unfortunately I haven’t, I tried some guess work with cross referencing the f150 codes in the same year but had no success.

I am sharing this file that I have been compiling since I messaged you last night.

It's work in progress, but hopefully people here will share their information, and we can put together something final and comprehensive.

Edit to add:
My plan is not just to catalog a bunch of setting that people can pull and drop into their cars, although I won't stop you from doing that, but it is actually to do cataloging and explaining what those things are.

The hard part is obviously using used cars for sale to determine what general features a car has or doesn't have that affects the as-built data. I have listed those which I think have an impact at the top of the spreadsheet and literally just used the images of the cars for sale to make that determination. Obviously, I suffer from situations where used cars have been upgraded after being sold since the as-built won't match the options anymore. But for the most part, people tend to NOT upgrade their cars with OEM parts (or do so very infrequently) for me to be worried about how it will impact my data.

The first car in the sheet is my car which I used as a baseline for the dataset to compare against.

WHat you will notice is that the last 2 digits of every data point is moved to the final column, this is because every single final 2 digits represent the checksum of the row. Basically there is a calculation that takes the address (726-01-01) and the data points (0C00, 0000, 01) and does fancy math to them to spit out the final numbers. Essentially this is to make sure you are not putting in something into the car that wholly makes no sense. So if you see one data point that is only 0C38, that means that the actual data is only 0C and the 38 is the checksum to make sure the data is correct. You can practice in the checksum tab. That actually massively cuts down the number of inputs that are needed to be analyzed for differences.

[slonison]

I have added over 75 cars with varying degrees of addons. Please feel free to make your own copies and help me to dissect or find patterns in the data.

 

[slonison]

Now over 140 Cars. I am starting to make headway. Would you believe the presence of the Glass Roof affects AS-Built Data!?

 

[slonison]

251 Cars added.
Color Coding on the bottom to determine the modules that have been fully decompiled.

It's been a while since I added an update.

I have successfully decompiled the follow:
PCSM - Power Steering Control Module
ABS - Antilock Brake System
APIM - Accessory Protocol Interface Module (Sync)
FDIM - Front Display Interface Module
PCM - PowerTrain Control Module

Partially Decompiled
RCM - Restraint Control Module
ICM - Instrument Cluster Module
BCMB - Body Control Module B
ACM - Audio Control Module (Successfully decompiled how presets are managed in both Navigation and non-Navigation Vehicles)

Still Need work:
GPSM - Global Positioning System Module
GEM - General Electronics Module (basically the BCM)

What you got on the EPAS/PSCM? What all can be changed?

What you got on the EPAS/PSCM? What all can be changed?

2011 was the first year that the mustang started using electronic power assisted steering as opposed to 2010 and earlier which used a hydraulic power assist.

Thus 2011 is the first year that the PSCM played a major part in the cars programming.
All 2011 mustangs had a value of 02 in the as built data.
From 2012-2014, all mustangs regardless of trim, had 01 which I attribute to slight calibrations in the programming and design of the power steering.

I would not recommend making adjustments to the programming as even the GT500s and Boss 302s maintain the same programming.

 

[slonison]

I have a few testers on board but would like to expand my reach.

I have added a tab called "Bounties" which I am putting out there to anyone with that Target Vehicle who has/is familiar with Forscan. I am looking for testers who would be willing to test out this as built data and provide back feedback on the bounties.

We have solidly identified:
Rear View Camera in Navigation Activation
Parking Assist Activation in the Gauge Cluster
Activating or Deactivating Sequential Tail Lights
Overriding the Door Sill to GT500 Red
Modifying the Language of the Cluster
Controlling the Passengers/Drivers Beltminders

I have also added a section under Tools which contains the ability to custom build your radio stations and load them via As-Built. both for Nav and Non-Nav.
Also, the ability to take your as built and explode it out into the radio stations.

Hey slonison, it has been a month since your last update in this thread, and I was wondering if you are researching the As-Built data codes for programming the mustang? I am planning on putting a premium gauge cluster into my base 2013 GT soon and I was wondering a couple of things... my car came with the parking assist but I do not believe the cluster I put in has that in the settings. What code would I have to put into FORscan to allow the parking assist to show back up on the gauge cluster? Also have you figured out the method of adding TrackApps to a premium gauge cluster that does not have it equipped? If it's any help, I have a manual v8 with sync, parking assist, and the track pack with brembos. I know it is a lot of work as well compiling all of that data, so please don't feel like I am demanding anything from you, I know this stuff takes a lot of time and patience. Get back when you can, any info helps and thanks!!!

It's 1:18am where I am. I can certainly help with almost all of what you are asking. I will mark my email notification as unread so I see it and remember to respond tomorrow.

Just so I have it right?

manual
V8
Rear parking assist
Sync
Base non-premium (so no shaker/subs in door)
Track pack.

So you have the base cluster and are upgrading to the premium cluster?

What year car and what year cluster?

If you feel comfortable, send me your VIN in DM. That will better help me translate for you, what need to change and what should stay the same.

i'VE BEEN AWAY AND HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM YOU. However, the correct bit you want to change is:

ICM - Instrument Cluster Module

Dear slonison,
Can you please help to disable Oil Life Monitor on 2010 Mustang GT with retrofitted 2013 premium digital cluster?
Due to the different ways of transferring data in 2010 and 2011-2014 I have annoying message 'Oil change required' every time I turn the key on. Oil Life reset does nothing. I know I can solve this issue by writing my as-built data from my stock cluster but I don't want this because I will loose oil pressure and voltmeter menus. I want just to shut off the OLM forever.

 

[slonison]

Hey, Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with the 2010 year. My understanding is that those cars are functionally closer to the 05-09 models under the hood. You be better set to try to understand "what is different" in the way that the cars transmit oil life (where is it stored). However, because the warning lives in the IPC, that would probably be the place to start. Unfortunately, I do not know where that is store.

 

[Red-Candy-Metallic]

slonison, if you're still collecting data, how would I send my car's AS-Built info to you? Would that help your cause?
