Static regeneration through FORScan

Not sure this is entirely true..the tool clearly states that if you push either the accelerator or brake pedal, you immediately stop the service run and the regen stops. Ford may have a specific way to run the Manual Regen while driving the vehicle but this is not possible (today) with the ForScan tool and I believe that applies for the 6.7L guys as well. There is some debate whether the hood HAS to be open or whether just a suggestion to allow the engine to breathe better which is the info it provides for service set-up. We are working through an issue where you can only successfully initiate the Manual Regen without using an existing vehicle profile. Once we get through that findings may include that you don't need the hood up, or the parking. brake set (another "rumor"). The tool DOES ensure you are meeting certain critiera, fuel level, coolant temperature, existing EGT and a couple of other ones. The ForScan folks usually respond overnight and they have been awesome in helping enable it and looking though the logs so I would guess by the end of the week the version will be available. If I hear anything else I will throw it in this thread...

@Crsavage1 Thanks! I have the newest version 2.3.35 and extended license, not sure where to find the items that need changed? Could you help on that, I don't want to screw anything up. Thanks
I found it! In the service procedures, duh! Anyway, seems like it will work for me- I didn't do it but it is ready, sure appreciate your help on this.

Sure. The steps I took were to follow the following thread to enable OCR and enable the checkbox that actually allows you to change the box to keep the truck from auto regen which for me was a nice choice due to being able to control when it regens during normal driving. I don't know if this is required to kick off a manual regen but I did it to gain a little control. The following thread will walk you through the specifics and the changes needed, they are pretty straight forward.


Once you open ForScan and let the profile load and detect all the modules, you can click on Services and the second or third choice should be to kick off a manual regen. A warning/information screen will appear directing you to be outdoors, suggestions around opening the hood etc. You click "Ok" again and the tool will check conditions of the truck to ensure certain criteria are met. Coolant temp needs to be above 154 degrees, it will check fuel levels, current EGT etc and you will see the boxes change from green to red as it checks off conditions. Should any of the conditions fail, it will remain red, the service will interrupt and it will specify which condition was not met. Assuming everything is green, the truck will kick into the cleaning. Immediately the RPM's will increase to just under 2000, EGT which is displayed while the test is running will begin to increase and the truck will remain in this condition for about 22 minutes or so. The tool will say 35 minutes but it was not quite that long. The tool will count the percentage complete as it goes and once complete, the truck will idle down and it will inform you that further cleaning can continue for an additional 2 minutes if left to idle as the truck is already at temperature.

One finally note, the tool recommends to shut off everything electronic. Radio, AC etc. I think the intent is to lessen the load on the truck but not sure of the specifics. I tried to look that up but didn't find much, but I followed it's advice and shut everything off in mine while it ran. It will be a bit surprising when it kicks off. It's loud and it's certainly breathing hard but overall everything I have read indicates this is very healthy for the exhaust system every once in awhile.

Of course, YMMV...but those are the basics. Let me know if there is confusion etc.
