The Forscan Thread

My intent is to log all the possible things we can do with Forscan on 3rd Gens. Many things require a dealer OBDII program to do, but Forscan seems to be able to do a lot of them too.

-Lowering springs and AFS? Reset it with Forscan. I did this last night cause i thought i needed a special program/adapter to reset the AFS/ALS system in the Tech pack/GT headlights. @tickerguy posted the procedure in one thread, but Forscan actually has a spot to perform diagnostic and reset the leveling. It works, visibly at night. I should have tried this last year when installed my suspension.

-Turn off your DRL's (although this can be done with a certain set of actions without Forscan).

-Change the timing on your turn signals, so you can use LED bulbs and no resistors or hyperflash.

-Bambi mode, have your driving/fogs on with high beams. Caveat: this cancels the DRL disable.

More to come as others chime in too, so post yours.

Ill edit this from time to time with the procedures.

It takes more effort to hook everything up than to do a couple steps.
