    2025 ST test mules for forascn changes

    Just to add my experience: I tried enabling the approach lighting and found a big reduction in touch-door-handle-to-lock sensitivity. This was very similar to what happened after enabling walk-away-lock. Reverting the changes brought the sensitivity right back. Not worth it for me to have to...

    Best Oil Catch Can

    What you don't seem to understand is that a PCV system uses intake vacuum to continuously draw crankcase vapor out, and replace it with fresh air, during part throttle operation. This helps remove all kinds of bad things from the crankcase. Running a vented catch can completely defeats this. It...

    Best Oil Catch Can

    It sounds like you don't understand how a PCV system works. Do some research and it will make more sense.

    2025 ST test mules for forascn changes

    After software updates were applied, it seemed better for a little while. But, pretty quickly it was back to the same inconsistency of walk-away lock, and a real desensitization of the handle touch locking. I reverted the changes in Forscan, and the handle locking immediately feels better. Weird.

    2025 ST test mules for forascn changes

    Ford is coming out to apply all available software updates to my ST on Monday. I figure I will wait until those are applied to see if the behavior changes, before I revert.

    2025 ST test mules for forascn changes

    Recently, it has become even less consistent for me. I'm going to revert the changes. Having to constantly look over my shoulder to see if it actually locked totally defeats the purpose!

    2025 ST test mules for forascn changes

    Is anybody noticing that the walk-away lock function isn't 100% reliable? If it is just me and I park and immediately leave, it works almost all the time. But, if my kid is in the back it doesn't seem to work. Also, the touch-handle to lock function seems way less functional now. I'll touch it...

    Has anyone figured out auto stop/start disable yet?

    2025 ST test mules for forascn changes

    Does anyone know if these actually have ANC to begin with? My as-built for: ACM > 727-01-02 0000 9204 00C7................. 2 = CC Disabled • ANC Disabled • ESEPS Enabled • MSS Disabled Shows that ANC is disabled.

    2025 ST test mules for forascn changes

    You could use a sound level recording app to prove it, like I did. Otherwise, it might just be confirmation bias.

    2025 ST test mules for forascn changes

    It's right in my post. The cabin sounds didn't change significantly. I measured with a microphone.

    CV Fabrication Intercooler + Charge Pipe Kit: Install and Test Video

    Hey guys, I just uploaded an install and test video for CV Fab's new intercooler and charge pipe kit for the 2020 - 2025 Explorer ST. The before / after test data blew me away, so watch to the end. Here's a link to the kit...

    Forscan: Update Brightness Threshold for Auto-Headlamps

    Hi guys, Has anyone come across a configurable setting in forscan, for the environment brightness that switches auto headlights / headlamps on or off? For me, they stay on when it is very bright and I'd like to dial it back. This is the closest key I have found so far:

    2025 ST test mules for forascn changes

    Can you explain what this change does? 783-01-01 0492 (0 = R Reserved • APIM Do not log missing APIM messages • R Reserved • ANCPS ANC not present) 783-01-01 2492 (2 = R Reserved • APIM Do not log missing APIM messages • R Reserved • ANCPS ANC not present) Both descriptions are the same.

    Easiest Place to Tap Constant 12v, Key-on, and Illumination

    I grabbed constant 12v from fuse 70, which feeds the OBD2 connector. I got key on power from fuse 54, which powers the heated steering wheel. Made my own ground. Still haven't found an illumination wire yet. I will reroute and clean up the wiring when I do.

    Easiest Place to Tap Constant 12v, Key-on, and Illumination

    Wires are run and I'm waiting for some micro fuse taps. It looks like they changed the fuse box for 2025 and there are no mini fuses any more. Trying to decide where to tap my boost reference. I'm debating whether to plumb it into the PCV lines on the outlet side of my catch can. They are 5/8"...
