I recently started using FORScan and wanted to share my experience to help others get started. Note: FORScan is a very powerful tool so use at your own risk.
What you need:
- A laptop running a Windows OS
- FORScan software and extended license (must register and apply for free 2 month trial)
- OBDII ELM adapter. The adapter needs to have a HS/MS CAN switch otherwise you will not see all the available modules. I have this one - VINT ELM327 USB
- Read This Tutorial
- I recommend using a battery tender/maintainer while you are using FORScan. You will have the ignition on (engine off) for extended periods of time and you don't want to drain your battery to the point where it will not start.
Using FORScan
- save your OEM module configuration before doing any editing
- follow all the prompts during setup and editing
- refer to the FORScan Settings Spreadsheet thread that @kenweise so kindly setup
