Ford Maverick *UPDATE* Unlock eco, sport mode & disable double honk with FORScan
Here is an updated video on my previous video that I did on this topic. I have the maverick lariat with 4k and off road package. I am using FORScan to unlock eco and sport mode along with disabling the double honk feature.

Always back up your original factory settings before making any changes to your trucks settings. This video is for informational purposes only.

Your video is great and very informative. I have a 2003 Lincoln Navigator and a 2011 Ford Taurus SEL. My interest is mostly for diagnostics, such as misfires, etc.. The Navigator is now 20 years old. With that in mind, will ForScan take care of diagnostics for both vehicles? Thanks for the feedback.

Great video, does enabling sport mode also change the steering feel as well. I know throttle behavior and accleration improves but in the trucks that come with sport mode stock, it also changes steering behavior. I value that steering feel a lot but i also want that sick fx4 package, let me know if it improves steering feel and/or weight as well.

Thanks man. I honestly have not felt any difference with the steering while sport mode is activated. Throttle difference for sure but not steering and/or weight. Hope this helps!

@@JOSHIC no problem! that kinda sucks i wonder if there's another section in forscan that deals with steering because the sport mode should have adjusted steering to be more athletic.
Has anyone used FORScan to change the unlocking function on the KeyFob to open all the windows ?
I'm strongly considering upgrading my stock tires to bigger meats, but I hate the idea of my speedometer being inaccurate due to the different tire diameter. Would this software allow me to tweak the speedo calibration for a non-OEM tire?

I have finally decided to try adding these two modes to my truck. But unfortunately I don’t have a PC so I’m using my Mac. I’m running parallels, using the cord forscan recommends. I’ve gotten the program to open, but I just can’t seem to get it connected to the truck. Do you have any thoughts?

I would try boot camp on Mac to install windows, if that is too much, maybe borrow someone’s pc and download the software. You could probably buy a cheap laptop and return it afterwords? Best bet would be to borrow a pc or go to someone’s house that has it Check out this forum: www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1672627-forscan-on-a-mac.html

If your truck has the modes but it was disabled you should be fine. I’m not an expert so if you are worried about anything, I’d consult with an expert. Ford just locked the modes for the different trim levels.

Can we rearrange the order of things? For example make eco mode the default for the hybrid?
@barrylinkiewich9688
5 күн бұрын
I read that by disabling, then enabling them in the order you want you can change the order but I don't think you can make Eco the default. I think it's set to always default to normal but as I understand it you could set Eco to only take one push of the drive mode button.
I added sport mode in my car( wildtrak 2023), originally there is no Sport mode, do you think if I drive with sport mode, there will be a problem with the engine. ?

Nah I don’t think there will be any problem. My truck didn’t have sport mode and I drive in sport mode and have not had any issues.
After you change to programs what is next to save them. I didn’t see after you checked to see if everything functions. Do you hit save and unplug computer. I was going to do the modes on mine. I have never done it before. Just want to make sure I don’t mess it up. Thanks

I found all these driving modes gimmicky at best. Honestly i think all it does it mildly change the shift points. I could maybe see having different drive modes in a car that actually had a high performance drivetrain. However in a maverick with only a hybrid and a 2.0 ecoboost as its engine options ,sport mode is kinda silly! 😊
