What is FORScan?

FORScan is a simple software scanner for Ford and Mazda vehicles, designed to work over ELM327 OBD2 to RS232 interpreters.

There are many OBD2 scanners, but does the FORScan somehow differ? Yes, because it is designed especially for Ford and Mazda vehicles and doesn't work with vehicles of other manufacturers, even if they have an OBD2 jack on board. Such approach makes it possible to support specific features of the manufacturer protocols, making the FORScan more powerful 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 OBD2 scanner and do it mush faster than any OBD2 scanner. In other words, FORScan can do things that regular OBD2 scanners can not do.

FORScan also has other advantages as well. It is FREE that is quite a benefit for such kind of software. Besides, it is fast, lightweight and easy to use.
