COMPATIBLE FORD SOFTWARE:


FORSCAN
Forscan works on most Ford vehicles up most recent ones. DTC reading-erasing, service procedures, injector coding, DPF force regeneration and lot more. And it is FREE. Works on all Windows versions and some other operating systems as well. The software is updated often, new features added several times a month!
Please visit software developer website for details: http://forscan.org/index.html

Download here: http://forscan.org/download.html

This software is for all Ford / Mazda /Lincoln vehicles diagnostics plus lots of different service features and supports many different languages. Very very powerful software, and it’s completely free. Please note that there something called as an Extended Licence, which will unlock full software functionality. As of right now, this is free for everybody. All you need to do is register at Forscan forum. Once you have been approved by admin, you can log in and will gain access to Extended Licence generator and can generate your own license. More about it here: http://forscan.org/forum/extlic.php


ELMCONFIG
ELMconfig is FREE software. Mostly used for modules configuration and activations, adaptations etc. If you want to activate cruise control or switch on Autolock at a certain speed – this software is for you.

You cannot read and erase error codes with this software. This software is used for configuring many ECU parameters. Very powerful software but a limited number of supported vehicles.

Suitable for:
* Focus II / C-Max / Kuga
* Mondeo IV / S-Max / Galaxy
Newest version directly from the developer can be downloaded here: http://civil.iffc.ru/ELMConfig/


Occasionally you may encounter some errors related to Windows registry. This has nothing to do with software but is about missing files in your computer.
Check out our blog on how to deal with several “missing file” errors while launching ELMconfig for more information.

FOCCCUS
FoCCCus is completely FREE. Similar functionality to ELMconfig but developed for Ford Focus III.

Newest version directly from the developer can be downloaded here: http://ford.xtlt.ru/FoCCCus/


You cannot read and erase error codes with this software. It does mostly same stuff as ELMconfig but has a different selection of vehicles. Do not use this software if you are not sure what you are doing.
