intrusion sensor alrm setup adding to XLT
Well I went in changed many other bits in the BCM on other line differences I see from the XLT to the Lariat on up. No go at this point with Forscan. The only DTC I have is this one B109F:55 (not configured) from 726-39-02 x1xx xxxx xxxx it is the one directly related. I removed it and ran the BCM Lin network interconnect it would pass. IDS must do something else to BCM when doing a PMI process on the BCM perhaps. Scratching my head now....I would have thought that Forscan doing a write all would be the same as a PMI in IDS but that does not look like the case.

Is there a way to add an audible tone if BLIS is active and uit use the turn signal? I didn't see it in the spreadsheet.
Also, I saw we can not run the spotlights at any speed. Is it possible to raise the speed that deactivates then?

As Livnitup said, no... but if you bring the truck in for warranty service, say for a power folding mirror not working... and you previously used Forscan to enable the Lincoln style auto-fold mirrors... they may well say this caused over use of the mirror and they will not cover under warranty. SO, before you bring it in, restore your DDM & PDM modules to as-built first because all they have to do is lock/unlock the truck once and may well notice the mirrors moving all by themselves.

No on BLIS, and on the spots no with forscan but can be done with a wiring mod.

Adjust low fuel warning
Anybody know if you can raise the low fuel warning? Id like it to ding around 1/4 tank, as thats when i cant let it remote start idle in my 9* grade driveway without it cutting out.
Thanks

There is no substitute for having a backup of your modules in FORScan period. Yes, the Motorcraft site does list most of your truck's modules' as-built values but in the case of BCM, it would take you a while to compare every value of all the addresses to make sure everything was back to stock versus seconds using a backup file. You're not going to screw anything up to the point of the truck not starting; after doing thousands of changes during testing in the various modules, I would've seen it by now if it were possible.
So how did you come across this...its very cool that your able to change all this stuff like this.

Ok trying to get the overhead intrusion alarm add to my XLT, having trouble getting it configured. I was hoping Forscan would work for me in doing this.
I am getting DTC B109F not configured from the BCM. The changes I made are BCM 726-02-01 xxxx x1xx xxxx and 726-39-02 x1xx xxxx xxxx and IPC 720-02-02 58xx xxxx xxxx. Per the service manual its said to do a PMI from the BCM and reload back to the BCM. PMI is the same as an all read then write to the module in this case BCM. Also did a reset of the BCM but still no go. I was hoping I be able to do this and not take it to the dealer to use the IDS software.
Can anyone shed some light on this one. Maybe I am missing some other bit change? I think at one time I saw 2016BlueGreyGoose did it but I think he did use the IDS software.

i didnt try
726-39-02 x*xx xxxx xxxx Slave Exists CSM Cfg: 0=absent, 1=present
but i did try every digit at the first bit on my 4.2 with no change observed
720-02-02 0xxx xxxx Alarm menu missing from advanced settings, vehicle

do you have the 8"cluster, i have the sensors all wired ( and made the change at 726-02-01 xxx xx*xx xxxx Security Cfg: 0=none, 1=both, 2=inclination, 3=intrusion ) but couldn't get it working, chalked it up to only having the 4.2.

Yes I have 8 inch cluster and yes the value at 39-02 on the BCM is part of it. Also on the IPC 02-02 5xxx xxxx xxxx. Still trying to find out may be other changes . Have a PM into BBG. For he did do this on his XLT with IDS. But he has not replied yet. I am hoping to see what change are in his BCM and the PMI process when he did it.

Hope that he does get back to see if any other changes I am not seeing on the BCM. And if I have have all the correct changes, still possiable with Forscan.
