"How- to" Access Advanced Ford PIDs Using a Scan Tool

[breeves002]

Sending out my modified ELM327 to adelsin tomorrow! Should get some data as soon as that bad boy gets hooked up in a few days! Should be there by Wednesday I would hope (if USPS Priority mail really is that fast).

More knowledge to be gained. Already ordered another ELM327 for me to modify for myself again

If anyone else wants one, $29 including shipping and it can be yours!

So I did find a little bit more new info today. 2010 Fusion Sport FWD we got connected up and had a little different results.

Adding a few more pics to first page of another device build and adding info.

Has the 4x4 controllers and everything!

 

[breeves002]

Yeah in ScanXL the 4x4 computer pops up for my car, but I'm not sure what it can do.

I made a mistake with the new ELM327 adaptor I bought. It was cheaper than the last one and not working since I modded it so I may have to buy another.

All I know is the one I sent you may not look pretty but it sure works! Remember HS-CAN is the switch facing the screw.

 

[adelsin]

Got your text! Thanks for reminding me. Still waiting for it to come. Should be here tomorrow, I hope.

 

[breeves002]

Well you are pretty far. I would bet on Friday, but USPS priority mail is pretty fast. I sent it flat rate and I've noticed flat rate gets places really quickly.

I finally got my MX bluetooth adapter connected to my laptop and run out real quick to data log.
I can access all the modules without the switch, I clicked on I don't know when it came up.
I can data log from the various modules individually, I don't know how to do simultaneous logs from multiple modules.

I also can see the car going into AWD when throttle is applied.
I need to see what happens when it spins. I also noticed the 4 ABS sensors there, I think the interception of the rear ABS sensor and replicating the fronts to the rear would stop the spin nanny that I'm experiencing.

Here's the pictures.

I don't see any MSCAN modules popping up. Should see HVAC at the very least. SDARS too if you have satellite radio. Also DSM if you have the memory settings for your drivers seat. So it's not reading MS CAN data as of now.

I also like your "Theft Detected, Vehicle Immobilized" code... Did you try starting it without a PATS key? LOL, whats that from?

I emailed the FORScan people and they said it should work fine with the stn1170 chip. Here's what they said: "Hello,

Thanks for the feedback and good words.

FORScan supports STN1170 chipset since version 2.1.0 (please see release notes: http://www.forscan.org/download.html). Tests were made on 3rd party adapter with STN1170 (not OBDLink MX), but we believe there should be no much difference. In other words, it should work. Can you please send us FORScan logs made for OBDLink MX device? Instruction is here:

So if it doesn't work again if you can get the log files and send them that would be cool.

What should I choose to see the MSCAN bus when I connect?

 

[breeves002]

I honestly don't know...

I would just try different combinations. When it asks if you have a switch hit yes. I know you hit IDK before. If that doesn't work, then try hitting NO.

I'll try it in a bit.

I tried and it couldn't connect BUT 2 things happenned:
1. I said yes I have a switch, it started scanning and my advancetrac light went off in the dash.
2. I tried to clear a code and the ABS light came on.
Freaky!
Ask those Forscan guys if they can help us interject signals into the computer! Look at my AWD service manual thread.

 

[breeves002]

Do the diagnostic thing or whatever it is so I can send it to them.
