Ranger Mods

I'm sorry if this has been asking a lot, but I can't find good results from searching.

I have the .AB file from the Vin search on the Ford Motorsport site. However, it's not broken down my module (I mean it is, if I read the codes, but not in separate files). I see no option to apply a .AB file across multiple modules, and I see no option on the Ford site to obtain .AB files by module. Essentially, I'm looking for an easier way to get back to factory settings. Today, in an attempt to remove an error I created, I went through almost every line of the .AB file manually. My error wasn't resolved, and so I want to go through it again, but I was hoping there is a more efficient method for applying this data. I'm trying to fix these issues I created, but some of the function descriptions are misleading because they are options I have (adaptive cruise), and are labelled as such, but I believe some are only meant to apply for later year adaptive cruise functions, like Stop and Go, and therefore are confusing when it comes to figuring out the appropriate settings across all modules.

Also, can the Ford Dealer actually set all module addresses back to default with a flash of each module, or would they have to go through just like me, line by line, to try to identify the issue? Being that I'm in Thailand (and am not Thai) the conversation with the dealer is very painful, and I have to be VERY specific with them in order to get results. As surprising as it sounds, dealers here try to get away with the least amount of work, compared to western dealers that want to try to do the MOST amount of work. We have to beg to get things done. True story.

I suppose I should clarify that I am using a friends PC and cables. When I tried to load the AB files from inside of Forscan it kept giving me a connection error, even though I had an internet connection. I'm going to keep trying to troubleshoot that, but my time with his tools is limited as it's at his shop, and he'll lend it to me, but if I sit in my car without power on the battery my fussing around will eventually drain the battery from keeping the accessories on so much.

I would get my own cables but I have a MacBook and I know running Windows on it is an option, but it's quite a bit of effort to figure it all out.

Just go to asbuilt module you want and press load button, load the ab file. Forscan will parse it for the correct data. Then press write, or press the load original button and write that, which will also be from the ab file that Forscan downloads, same same.

If the dealer specifically writes the original as built in IDS then it can be done, usually through a PMI session from memory. It has been a long time since I have needed to do it that way so cannot be more specific.

There is no point trying to play with stop and go and a multitude of other settings, your vehicle does not support them and never will. PCM, IPMA, CCM etc. firmware is not written to support these functions on your vehicle.
