Just another big thanks to livinitup and everyone else who helps us out here.

I installed my summer wheels/tires over the weekend and had to get my TPMS going again - disabled it since I have no sensors in my winter wheels and tires.

Had to update my Forscan license and did the TPMS plus got rid of my Bambi mode for upcoming state inspection.

You guys are great! Thanks for all you do.

Can someone go over, step-by-step, in the most verbose/explain-like-I'm-five/no-acronyms sort of way how to go about performing a transmission relearn (2017 10 speed)?

I've done some searching and all my results have been either partial snippets, contradictory statements, instructions followed by caveats like "at least on my 2011 truck that worked" or "but I've never actually tried it" or "that's what I read once".

From what I can tell, this is possible to do via Forscan and not ever having to touch the battery.

Also, please include any info on potential side effects or unintended consequences of doing this (eg. it will reset a bunch of other stuff in addition to the learned transmission strategy, you'll lose x settings, the dealership will flip out b/c of xyz, etc...).

Thanks in advance!

I lost my ACM backup file , my laptop fell and now it's dead.
While trying to get my pioneer hideaway type sub installed, I have jacked up my radio. Blue tooth and hands free do not work.
Can someone please help me get back to my default settings?

Get your asbuilt values based on your VIN. The following is from Livnitups tutorial in the first post:


https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt - Retrieve the as-built info for any VIN (first time you visit this link you'll need to choose country/language until a cookie is set, then the link will work)

Change the value on row's 21-22 here using the link to PlatinumOwner's spreadsheet to input the new battery type: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...730/edit#gid=0

John, go to https://forscan.org/download.html, then under FORScan for windows you will see "Buy extended license" or "Get free Extended License" click the one you want & log in on the next page if choosing the free license (create an account if you don't have one) After you log in it will take you to the place you enter your info for the license

Hi guys i reviewed Livinitup's and AZPlatinumOwner's spreadsheet and found the requisite line items however the battery I got is 930cca 92ah and the biggest in the link is 800CCA 80AH when mine is 930 cca and 92AH. Is this a big deal or should I just hook it to a CTEK maintenance charger sometimes to fill out the last 12AH or just disable BMS? Advice appreciated.

What about 726-06-01_2 regarding BMS SOC Max Cfg, 726-07-02 BMS Target SOC Cfg? As a layperson it seems like those two lines might be able to get me my extra 12 AH from the alternator. If an 80ah AGM of similar quality had been available locally I'd have bought it but it wasn't available.
