Using your FORScan to diagnose errors is as easy as plugging your phone or laptop into your OBD2 receptacle and allowing the software to run. You can then select the module that goes with the problem or modification you want to make. With the use of a connector placed in the OBD under the dash of the F-150, you can download the computer modules into the software.

FORScan can do that. Since it can access those modules, FORScan allows the user to make changes to how the vehicle works. With that specific focus, it can detect modules not identified by other scanners. While OBD2 scanners are common, FORScan is designed specifically for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda vehicles. It can also allow the user to make various modifications to their F-150 factory settings by modifying the computer module.
