Disclaimer: I will not be held liable for anything that you might break during the process. Please back-up your settings using Forscan before editting any values.
Requirements:
1. Your Ford Everest (of course)
2. Forscan software (runs on Windows only, I’m using VM as I have a macOS)
3. Laptop
4. OBDII cable ELM327 (capable of MS-CAN & HS-CAN)
There are several hidden Instrument cluster menus on the Ford Everest, these hacks will make those hidden menus available to your cars.
The tutorial was performed on Ford Everest 2.2 Titanium Premium Plus w/ Navi, other countries like Thailand or Australia or other variants like Ambiente or Trend might also have different codes.
Hack #1 Offroad on Intrusment Cluster
This hack requires editting IPC module, once you ran Forscan IPC (AS-BUILT) loo for the following:
Block 7 - 720-07-02 0104 0097 and change to 0364 0097 then it WRITE, your car will recycle through pushing the new codes.
Hack #2 Climate Control on Instrument Cluster
This hack requires editting IPC module, once you ran Forscan IPC (AS-BUILT) look for the following:
Block 5 - 720-05-01 E078 0202 0009 and change to E0F8 0202 0009 then it WRITE, your car will recycle through pushing the new codes. The second sets 0202 if changed to 0306 will add AdBlue Plus on instrument cluster, AdBlue Plus is only available on Australian Everest modesl (as far as I know).
Hack #3 DRL Options (enable / disable) on Instrument Cluster
This hack requires editting IPC and BCM module, once you ran Forscan IPC (AS-BUILT) loo for the following:
BCM
Block 16 - 726-16-02 0202 0202 024F and change to 0101 0101 0049, DO NOT HIT WRITE YET, look for Block 45.
Block 45 - 726-45-01 0A01 3100 00AF and change to 0A01 7F00 00AF
Once all has been editted HIT WRITE ALL, your car will recycle through pushing the new codes.
Press STOP then load IPC (AS-BUILT) module
IPC
Block 45 - 720-02-01 FF25 3453 0EE3 add 4 to the third character in my settings its FF25 so change it to FF65 (2+4 =6), then it WRITE, your car will recycle through pushing the new codes.
Other hacks exist but this is the useful hacks I want to have on my Ford Everest.
