Ford’s new Global Electrical Architecture (GWM, APIM, and TCU on high-speed CAN FD) broke compatibility with older FORScan versions. v2.4.6 Beta adds initial support for:
Note: CAN FD (Flexible Data-rate) requires a compatible adapter like the OBDLink EX or vLinker FD.
While older versions have PID graphing, v2.4.6 Beta introduces 30+ frames per second logging for specific modules (e.g., ABS wheel speed sensors, direct injection pressures). This is essential for diagnosing intermittent electrical gremlins or transmission slip patterns.
For the first time in a public beta, v2.46 allows bi-directional control for the HVAC modules on SYNC 4 vehicles.
