Forscan info

[grogee]

Just downloaded the 'lite' version of Forscan for my android and it works ok with my ELM327. However I'm guessing the windows full version of Forscan has more features. For instance I can't access any info on ABS with the Lite version.

Anyone know if Forscan for Windows will enable me to 'talk' to ABS in my Puma? (2001 model year)

Forscan for Windows will talk to ABS module. You will be able to monitor in real time each wheel speed as the ABS sees it as well (and thus detect which wheel speed sensor has failed, or is giving erratic signal).
IIRC you will have to keep the speed below 20 kph (the self test speed of ABS module) but it will work. I have used it to detect which wheel speed sensor was giving me trouble after rear disc conversion.

Thanks. Out of interest does the windows app allow you to access or change the powertrain control module map? As in, allow me to upload an FRP map...

No, that is not possible. For that you have to contact Pumanoob here (Erroll Williams)
