What is FORScan?

FORScan is a software scanner for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, designed to work over ELM327 and J2534 Pass-Thru compatible adapters

There are many OBD2 scanners, but does the FORScan somehow differ? Yes, because it is designed especially for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. So supports specific features of the manufacturer protocols, making the FORScan more powerful in work with these models than any regular OBD2 scanner.

For example, FORScan can detect modules which are not visible for regular OBD2 scanners, can show you trouble codes which are never displayed by OBD2 scanners, can show you PIDs which are not supported by any OBD2 scanner, run specific tests and service procedures. In other words, FORScan can do things that regular OBD2 scanners can not do.

Main features

  • Detect vehicle on-board network configuration
  • Read and reset Diagnostic Trouble Codes from all modules (see list of supported modules)
  • Reading of modules' sensors' data
  • Home
  • Run test diagnostic procedures (not supported in FORScan Lite yet)
  • Run service procedures (not supported in FORScan Lite yet)

    Supported vehicles:

    All Ford, Mazda, Lincoln, Mercury vehicles that can be addressed by supported adapters. It is 99% of models after 2000 and around 92% of models after 1996 (the year when OBD2 became a standart in USA). Note: New 2019+ Mazda 3 and CX-30 are not supported yet.

    Supported adapters :

  • OBDLink EX, recommended USB adapter for Windows version of FORScan, also for configuration and programming functions
  • OBDLink MX+, recommended Bluetooth adapter for Lite versions of FORScan (iOS, Android)
  • OBDLink SX/LX/MX
  • ELS27 (STN1170/2120)
  • ELM327-compatible (fully compatible with original ELM327, such as VeePeak, please also see important note below)
  • J2534 Pass-Thru
  • CANtieCAR (in 'FORScan' mode)

    Important note: almost all of adapters sold under 'ELM327' label are 'clones' (use not original ELM327 chip). In past few years 80% of them are 'bad' clones, and unfortunately this ratio grows. 'Bad' clones are not fully compatible with original ELM327 and will not work with FORScan. FORScan uses service level protocols and requires adapters that are fully compatible with original ELM327. Other software that uses standard OBDII protocol usually work with these adapters, so people usually don't understand the problem. The problem is that service protocols are more complex than regular OBDII ones and this is why it is physically impossible to make FORScan work using these devices. We recommend to obtain either original white-label adapters listed above (Scantool OBDLink, ELS27), or look for ELM327 marked as 'Ford Mazda FORScan' etc compatible - these are usually 'good' clones equipped with HS/MS CAN switch. But 'good' clones may have other problems (for example, USB adapters cannot work faster than on 38400 bps, CAN bus errors etc).

    Supported protocols and bus:

  • FORD HS CAN
  • FORD MS CAN (only for J2534-2, CANtieCAR, OBDLink MX, ELS27 or modified ELM327)
  • FORD SCP
  • FORD 9141
  • FORD UBP (only for Ford VCMII)

    Supported modules:

    Almost all of modules availabe through supported protocols. Full list is here.

    Supported platforms:

  • Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 (ELM327-compatible adapters with COM, USB, Bluetooth and WiFi interfaces, J2534 PassThru adapters). Note: only x86 architecture is supported for Windows. ARM architecture is not supported!
  • iOS v7.0 and higher (OBDLink MX+, ELM327 BLE and WiFi adapters)
  • Android v4.0 and higher (ELM327 Bluetooth and WiFi adapters)

    Platforms in development:

  • Windows Phone 8 (Bluetooth and WiFi adapters) - development stopped.
  • Canon CanoScan LiDE 100 – wouldn't work under Windows 7, wouldn't work under Linux Mint, VueScan definitely gave it a second life. VueScan works like a charm under Linux Mint, and even fixed a critical issue with the user rights. Money well spent. See review on Facebook

    Hamrick Software - I have been using VueScan for 10 years on several different computers using 3 scanner models. It really is an excellent product well maintained and exceptional value for money. It has given me a lot of pleasure over the years and helped produce some high quality scans of vintage family photography. I can recommend it to anyone. See review on Facebook

    I am absolutely in love with this software! My Nikon COOL SCAN V would only work with Windows 98 so it's been our of commission for quite a while. Thanks to VueScan, it back online and working better than ever. It is so efficient and easy to use that I'm looking forward to scanning several thousand slides that have been stored away and unusable. My scanner now works so much better than it did originally that I am incredulous. I purchased the Pro version and it is worth every penny of the reasonable price. WOW! Love it! Thank You Hamrick!!!

    It works plain and simple! See review on Facebook

    In Jan 2003 I bought VueScan for my Epson Perfection 1200. I used it a lot, more functions than the standard driver. Got new computers with new operating systems, forgot about VueScan. I got a new Epson scanner - old one doesn't have Win10 drivers. I remembered VueScan. Found it, downloaded the trial version, and my old EPSON 1200 scanner WORKED again. Wow, a purchase made in 2003, works on a PC with an operating system that doesn't exist in 2003. 17 YEARS later! And that for a very small amount of money. THIS IS SERVICE AND ADDING VALUE TO YOUR CUSTOMER! See review on Facebook

    I had tons of photos to scan, and after doing some research I decided to go for VueScan. I don't regret my decision. Scanning was a breeze and saved me a lot of time. I'm using a Brother All-in scanner which I bought 3 years ago and whilst its scanning software is not bad it's much slower and has way less options than VueScan. My operation system is Windows 10. I can recommend VueScan without hesitation. It's worth the money. See review on Facebook

    Win10 doesn't support my older Fujitsu scansnap. But, with VueScan I can keep using it - so far, so good. See review on Facebook

    VueScan allowed me to still use my ScanSnap S1500M. Saved me from buying a new document scanner. Thanks. See review on Facebook

    Far better control of Nikon scanners than Nikon's own software. And does a great job with Kodachrome slides. See review on Facebook

    It's absurd that I couldn't use my Espon WF-3520 scanner when Mac OS updated, and Epson obviously has no interest in fixing the problem. Studies 1 7 7 equals 9. Works perfectly with VueScan 9. See review on Facebook

    Was going to send my very old HP scanjet to the landfill but thanks to Hamrick Software I won’t have to!!! Very sustainable. It works on my Macbook with Catalina OS!!!! See review on Facebook

    Vuescan Professional saved me from having to buy a new scanner when Mac Catalina no longer supported my current scanner. Much less expensive than buying a new scanner, easy to use and great quality. See review on Facebook

    Rescued my Canon P-215 from the junk heap. Kept postponing updating my MacBook Air to High Sierra just to keep the Canon driver working. For some reason the driver and proprietary software stopped working today anyway. Thanks to VueScan, I get to use my scanner despite the fact that there's no longer support from Canon. Thank you!

    I have 3 scanners in perfect condition, each no longer supported by their respective manufacturers, and no longer recognized by the latest version of MacOS. It was only after I purchased a new, supported and recognized scanner (big mistake) that I discovered VueScan. The product instantly identified the id, connected scanners, and brought them back to life. The new scanner is now sitting around collecting dust. An absolutely magnificent product. Highly recommended. See review on Facebook

    This software is great! We LOVE our ScanSnap S1500M and were so disappointed when it stopped working after the upgrade to macOS Catalina. We are so happy to have VueScan solve this issue for us. We are able to continue using our ScanSnap without having to shop for a new scanner. Installation and payment were easy and the VueScan software works wonderfully. Highly recommend! See review on Facebook

    I’m very pleased with the software. It recognized all scanner features and allows me to continue scan to documents after macOS update. See review on Facebook

    Truly the best scanning App for Mac! See review on Facebook

    VueScan allowed me to still use my ScanSnap S1500M. Saved me from buying a new document scanner. Thanks. See review on Facebook

    1 hour free play keep your winnings. Easy to use and saved buying a new scanner when Mac OS changed to Catalina See review on Facebook Tevion fs 5000 software download.

    Super nice scanning software, saved me from buying a new scanner. Fujitsu refuses to support my old - still perfectly working - scanner on Mac OS Catalina, but VueScan brought it back to life. It even offers more settings and is much faster than the original software. Thank you so much, Hamrick Software, you made my day! See review on Facebook
