- Here is an updated video on my previous video that I did on this topic. I have the maverick lariat with 4k and off road package. I am using FORScan to unlock eco and sport mode along with disabling the double honk feature.

Has anyone used FORScan to change the unlocking function on the KeyFob to open all the windows ?
Great job my friend! Thanks for help me here in Brazil. Hugs!!!
Thanks man! Glad I could help! Take care!
Amigo você sabe como ativar as setas ligadas como DRL?
@@eduardoariotti2312estou tentando descobrir também. Essa parte dos modos de condução e buzina já fiz na minha e deu tudo certo.
@@linsgoncalves3235 sim eu também. Se você descobrir me manda os códigos. Abraço
Thanks for sharing this! Have you also added the Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) with FORScan? If so, can you do a video for this as well?
I have not done this yet. I will take a look at it!
do you know how to turn it off? it is making sounds when i go to fast. i can turn it off but it always comes back on after i restart the car. thanks@@JOSHIC
@sharkbayboards I think you can disable it on the vehicle settings menu in the truck
@@JOSHIC yes that is true but it also says that it is only dissabled until next time you turn on the car again. a friend said it was some new regulation here in sweden.
thanks
@@sharkbayboards take a look at this: www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/traffic-sign-recognition-tsr-enable-via-forscan-on-2023-xlt-hybrid-w-luxury-diy-instructions.38227/
Id see where I can go to disable it.
hello. Thank you very much for your useful video. I just did it seeing your explanation. But I'm worried about disabling SCM ABC... won't that hurt my brakes?
Doing this will not hurt your breaks!
Great job !
😇
@@JOSHICplease ?
Hey do you know which module manages the Lane Centering and ACC?
I do not. Try checking out the Maverick truck club!
I'm strongly considering upgrading my stock tires to bigger meats, but I hate the idea of my speedometer being inaccurate due to the different tire diameter. Would this software allow me to tweak the speedo calibration for a non-OEM tire?
I am not sure if it could. I haven’t tried to do that yet.
I interested to try is on a Tremor Maverick
Give it a go! I’m sure the tremor has the same stuff.
Can you enable rock crawl mode?
My 22 doesn’t have those modes and not sure what model has it. But yes you can enable the mode if your model and year truck has them available for other trim models. Just need to plug it in and see what you have
Thanks!!!!!
Anytime!!
Great video, does enabling sport mode also change the steering feel as well. I know throttle behavior and accleration improves but in the trucks that come with sport mode stock, it also changes steering behavior. I value that steering feel a lot but i also want that sick fx4 package, let me know if it improves steering feel and/or weight as well.
Thanks man. I honestly have not felt any difference with the steering while sport mode is activated. Throttle difference for sure but not steering and/or weight. Hope this helps!
@@JOSHIC no problem! that kinda sucks i wonder if there's another section in forscan that deals with steering because the sport mode should have adjusted steering to be more athletic.
Can we rearrange the order of things? For example make eco mode the default for the hybrid?
I read that by disabling, then enabling them in the order you want you can change the order but I don't think you can make Eco the default. I think it's set to always default to normal but as I understand it you could set Eco to only take one push of the drive mode button.
does this work on a 2023 Hybrid?
I would plug in your truck and see what you have. I’m not sure as I have only plugged in to my ecoboost
Hi friend, do you know how I can activate the turn signal lights as DRL? thanks
Hello! Do you have an xl or xlt? If so you can buy switch back turn signals from lasfit.
@@JOSHIC i have a Lariat model. I don't know If the same procediment of the XL or XLT model.
Unfortunately I don’t think you can enable the turn signal lights as an additional drl light. The lariat already has drl lights.
Your video is great and very informative. I have a 2003 Lincoln Navigator and a 2011 Ford Taurus SEL. My interest is mostly for diagnostics, such as misfires, etc..
The Navigator is now 20 years old. With that in mind, will ForScan take care of diagnostics for both vehicles?
Thanks for the feedback.
Glad you thought it was informative. Yes, you can use the forscan to diagnose any error codes.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes. It was quite informative which has led me to pursue use of ForScan rather than getting locked into some Chinese ("all most right") scanner. Made in USA is my priority! @@JOSHIC
@@johnwinters3147 I feel you on that one haha. It’s a good item to have for sure. You can check for error codes and modify things on your vehicle!
How did you back up the original?
I believe it automatically asks you when you plug it in if you want to save/backup your settings
Hi friend! I tried to do lile you show in this video, but my forscan don't show ABS module. Do you know why? Thanks!
Hello friend - You need to first choose it from the list of modules then press the play button to load it up so you get to the configuration options and tab along the top.
@@JOSHIC Friend, the problem I had with my connection to Forscan was due to the Windows version. I solved it and managed to do the procedure and everything went well. I enabled Eco and Sport modes. Thank you very much for the video with excellent information.
@@linsgoncalves3235 awesome man, glad you got everything working! Stupid windows update lol Enjoy the modes and stay safe!
are the lower varieties
made to handle the added drives modes? As
ford didn't bring them out in the first place?
No have problème with mode sport ?
If your truck has the modes but it was disabled you should be fine. I’m not an expert so if you are worried about anything, I’d consult with an expert. Ford just locked the modes for the different trim levels.
Hi! In the 2.0. ecoboost,, does the Eco mode make the gears shift earlier, at lower rpm's? Thanks!
Eco mode just adjusts the throttle response to save fuel.
@@JOSHIC Thanks!!!!
I added sport mode in my car( wildtrak 2023), originally there is no Sport mode, do you think if I drive with sport mode, there will be a problem with the engine. ?
Nah I don’t think there will be any problem. My truck didn’t have sport mode and I drive in sport mode and have not had any issues.
Can you disable auto start ?
I don’t think you can
Apparently now you can with an auto start eliminator.

I’m still not quite sure if this could affect the system in other ways.
hi, i´ve seen yours is a lariat trim right? are u able to open the power flow app on your main screen? i own a 24 lariat no sync on it but it doesnt have that option the list, but have seen some xlt´s or xl´s with this feature enabled, is this possible to enable with forscan? any help will be appreciated.
Is this pertaining to hybrids?
Hi, You know how to activate Park assist on the Wildtrak 2023?
Try lookin under module configuration and see if it’s disabled. But based on a quick search, it looks like it comes standard on the wild track
So you’re Maverick didn’t have these Modes to begin with? I’m wondering because I have a 24 xlt Tremor and those modes are already active except Sport mode
Na mine didn’t have them. 22 year fx4. I guess the newer models have eco unlocked as standard?
Abs disable mean driving without abs system?
If not disabled abs i can enable sport?
No you aren’t driving without abs breaks. It does not disable your abs system. I have all sport modes so yes you can drive in sport. Hope that helps
See if you can take out the speed limiter Aca in Argentina is limited by 175 km
I’ll do some diggin!
have you tried any other mods? maybe how to disable the seatbelt chime? or any other thing?
I haven’t. I only really cared to disable the honk and adding eco & sport mode
I have finally decided to try adding these two modes to my truck. But unfortunately I don’t have a PC so I’m using my Mac. I’m running parallels, using the cord forscan recommends. I’ve gotten the program to open, but I just can’t seem to get it connected to the truck. Do you have any thoughts?
I would try boot camp on Mac to install windows, if that is too much, maybe borrow someone’s pc and download the software. You could probably buy a cheap laptop and return it afterwords? Best bet would be to borrow a pc or go to someone’s house that has it

Thanks for doing this video! I bought a cheaper link cable on Amazon, and it’s not wanting to fully connect. Do you think the cable that you linked should fix that problem?
Actually, I did get it to connect eventually, but I am missing the BodyCM module. Any ideas?
I’ve heard the cheaper cables have problems like that. May want to get the one I use and try it out
@@JOSHIC Thanks for the reply! I upgraded the cable and everything worked perfectly.
@@Sethw1984 awesome! Glad I could help you!
Sorry you know about actívate windows whit key un Maverick?
I have no idea
Can you disable the electric motor sounds?
I don’t think you can.
After you change to programs what is next to save them.
I didn’t see after you checked to see if everything functions.
Do you hit save and unplug computer.
I was going to do the modes on mine. I have never done it before. Just want to make sure I don’t mess it up.
Thanks
Once you hit write and you turn off and on your truck per the prompt, you can press the disconnect button and your good to go.
@@JOSHIC Thank you
@@John-gv2tq you’re welcome!
I’m wanting to do this to my Maverick how are things running any issues?
No issues man. Everything has been running smoothly
Hi, Does it downshitf when you apply brakes en Sport Mode?
It down shifts and up shifts
Hey sir!. Would this mods work in a XL Hybrid?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work! Worth a try to at least plug it in and see what you have.
🎉
What obd adapter do you use?
The one linked in video the description good sir
Hi, Do you know how to open the 4 windows at same time with the key? Thanks in advance.!
Sorry but I do not know the answer to this one :/
Global open
Thanks !!!! @@Dontlookatthehandle
How do you hook your computer to the vehicle?
You have to buy the link cable from Amazon. I have a link to it in the video description
@@JOSHIC what does it plug in to?
Does it plug into the USB port?
@@drbushlow1 yes it plugs into the computer via usb
Thank you. I have cords
How bad does this mess with warranty?
I’ve already had a warranty claim made on my truck. Nothing happened. If anything, you can just go back in the computer and reset your truck back to factory settings
@@JOSHIC I have just the awd model so I have those modes but I wouldn’t mind adding the other modes that are available.
I hate that double honk on my car! So annoying.
Same here! Glad there is a solution lol
Will this void the warranty?
What I’ve read from my own research on this topic from others is no. You are just enabling stuff that the truck has that was turned off from ford.
@@JOSHIC Thanks! Probably gonna go ahead and do it.
@@kevinmonroe3722 you’re welcome. If anything, just reset back to factory settings lol also, it’s not recommended to buy a cheaper link. A fellow viewer commented and I have also heard that using a cheaper linkage cable may cause problems. Use the cable I have linked in the description.
Where do I get the software?
You can get it from forscan.org
I found all these driving modes gimmicky at best. Honestly i think all it does it mildly change the shift points. I could maybe see having different drive modes in a car that actually had a high performance drivetrain. However in a maverick with only a hybrid and a 2.0 ecoboost as its engine options ,sport mode is kinda silly! 😊
I feel ya on that. But I can tell you my mpg has been better with eco mode unlocked. Eco mode is very sluggish compared to sport Mode even when I step on it.
@JOSHIC ah....well that makes it worth the trouble of unlocking it.
@@number1pappy really don’t use sport mode but I constantly stay in eco lol
