Country code is stored in the APIM, IPC, TCU and GWM.Does anybody know what the Market Country Code changes in the vehicle?
It's on easymode in Forscan.
Mine is set on Canada, and there are options like US, Europe, China, Japan, Australia, UK etc.
My guess is that this changes:
- speed to KPH or MPH
- Fuel to MPG or L/km
- Temperature to Celcius or Fahrenheit
Anybody knows what it does more?
Does it also changes the speed sign recognition? I know that speed signs are designed different in different countries.
I'm afraid to check myself what is does, and ask maybe somebody else know what it will change and if it's safe to change.
Edit: I wish that I could see what lines in the ASBUILT are going to change, when changing in "easy mode".
So an easy change in the written mode, may change different modules all at once. That's scary if something goes wrong. But always good to know which modules it changes so that if something goes wrong you can load the saved backup. Thanks.Country code is stored in the APIM, IPC, TCU and GWM.
I don't use easy mode in FORScan. Many people swear by it, but like to make the changes myself.So an easy change in the written mode, may change different modules all at once.

I agree with you and I won't do that again either.I don't use easy mode in FORScan. Many people swear by it, but like to make the changes myself.
The guys at FORScan are good.....I would say easy mode is reliable. It just appeases my OCD to do it myself. lolI agree with you and I won't do that again either.
I did the continues gear display in easy mode and all went well. But not going to change stuff like that anymore since it changes more than you might know.
Yesterday I was scrolling through the spreadsheet and I found a second line in the BCM module that talks about enabling the rear fog light.The guys at FORScan are good.....I would say easy mode is reliable. It just appeases my OCD to do it myself. lol
I would assume the one in the IPC are to show you the icon that the rear fog is on and the one the BCM is to actually enable it.Yesterday I was scrolling through the spreadsheet and I found a second line in the BCM module that talks about enabling the rear fog light.
BCM:
726-39-01 xxxx xxx* xx--
0=Disabled and 1= Enabled
726-67-01 *xxx xxxx xx--
4=Disabled and 0=Enabled
IPC:
720-02-02 xx** xx--
4=Disabled and 6=Enabled
The one I found is the 726-67-01
And I figuree out it should be switched to 0 to enable it.
Do you have any idea what those two lines do? They seem to be doing the same thing "enabling the rear fog light".
But there are two BCM lines to program and 1 in IPC.I would assume the one in the IPC are to show you the icon that the rear fog is on and the one the BCM is to actually enable it.
The change on 67-01 I would leave alone unless the change in line 39-01 alone doesn't enable it. I'm not sure what this does, but line 39-01 seems to make more sense in terms of what you want to accomplish here.But there are two BCM lines to program and 1 in IPC.
Completely agree. Only thing I don’t notice is that it’s not always working like it does for you. For me it works practically everytime. I have the horn enabled so I know if it does lock the car, and it always does. But yes, everything else I think is the case. The lights turning into an orange like hue instead of normal white can be from WAL being active, and the door handle is 100% a fact in my case. It’s extremely finicky, and I need to try 2-3 times to lock the door that way. Also, key fob has almost 0 range with WAL enabled.Walk away Lock
I made a couple of observations, maybe someone can confirm:
In those instances it is obviously not easy to check if the daylight running light is purple or not. Maybe the system gets confused when the trunk keyfob present sensors detect me when passing and deactivates WAL?
- The purple color of the daylight running light after exiting the car seems to me to be kind of an indicator that walk away lock is active
- Manual locking on the handle of the door takes much longer, sometimes even multiple attempts
- Very bad: it is unreliable. I would say in like 5-10% of all cases it wouldn’t lock. Mainly when walking away in direction of the rear of the car.
As honk feedback when locking is not common in Europe, I don’t want to activate it and thus always find me looking at the car when walking away which is odd.
It accepts hexadecimal (0 - F), and you only replace the value marked with *, the rest should be left as is...I need help before I screw things up.
First time Ford owner and First time ForScan user, I've changed the Welcome Lightning, removed the Seat Belt screen and the last thing I wanted to do was to activate the Walk Away Lock with Feedback and Auto Relock.
According to the Spreadsheet, we ignore where all "X" are and just write the non-x values, but taking in consideration that ForScan original values shows 3 groups of 4 characters for a total of 12 characters and the spreadsheet just shows 10 character, that's my confusion, can I just enter the 10 values of the Spreadsheet even when the original value has 12?
Again, just want to be sure that I'm following the instructions right before messing it up. My common sense says that these are just Hex Values so the Hyphen is just a place Holder or just saying, stop there, but I don't really know if we can just enter 10 values where 12 were from factory.
Thank you in advance.
