Ford FO SCAN ELM327 OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool Cable USB Modified HS MS
FO SCAN ELM327 scan tool supports all OBD2 protocols (J1850PWM,HS CAN, MS CAN, HS CAN2, HS CAN3), this OBD scanner works as a normal OBDII/EOBD/CAN car code reader on most supported vehicles(from year 1996).
Compared with ordinary ELM327 USB Diagnostic Cable, our Forscan Cable can be used as two different tools:
1. It can be equipped with ordinary ELM327 software to do ordinary ELM327 functions. It can be equipped with scanmaster, scantool and other software, applicable to all car series (Forscan ELM327 and Forscan pro can be used, ELS27 can not)
2. Supporting FORSCAN, ELMconfig, FOCCCUS, FF2 software, specially designed for Ford series, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury cars (ELS27 can only use these software)
Supported models:
All Ford(Cars & Fseries Trucks 12V), Mazda, Lincoln, Mercury vehicles .
It is 99% of models after 2000 and around 92% of models after 1996 (the year when OBD2 became a standard in USA).
Note: New 2019+ Mazda 3 and CX-30 are not supported yet.
Why do you need an Extend license?
1. This license is not restricted by us, it is restricted by the forscan software provider
2. Used to restrict access to key functions. For example, PATS key programming function. If the software is completely released, all the software and the Forscan ELM327 cable can program a new car key in a few seconds. This is too insecure for all users.
Those modules need Extend license:
Service -> PATS Programming
Configuration and Programming -> Module Configuration
Configuration and Programming -> Module Configuration(AS BUILT format)
Configuration and Programming -> Central Configuration
Configuration and Programming -> Module Reset/Configuration (required to learn central configuration changes related to these modules)
