Conflicting advice is a pretty good sign of a complex procedure... I'd be with @Rolias81, if not equipped.

I haven't played around with Forscan before, a video for dummies would be great.

There are several on YouTube, alternatively, you could find someone in your area who know how to forscan.

Spent about 4 hours checking out videos... they are poorly explained. Oh well.

 

[Rolias81]

Anyone in the Philadelphia area?

bought one months ago. I gave it a shot last week. The ABS failed but still worked. I'm not sure what the deal is.

 

[360alaska]

Cool!
I'm starting to think stock ABS settings will be okay for this mod, when you are trying to figure out a mod like this you essentially deduce the values by compared ASbuilt data from a large set of vehicles that do and have a certain feature.

I haven't been able to check it fully, I work from home and the only drives I take is my morning coffee run. Zero readable lines my 4 mile round trip. I did manage about 1/2 mile of assisted driving to the supermarket on Sunday though.

I also did the mod and had success. I did not change the ABS setting. The only thing I've noticed is that the driver assistance screen doesn't show if the system is detecting the sides of the lane like it did before the mod, but maybe that is intentional. The little lane keeper icon at the bottom does turn green when it is supposed to still. Strangely, sometimes the lane centering will be active when lane keeper isn't.

 

[360alaska]

Please the lane keep button on the stalk to turn it back on.

360alaska,

Just wanted to give you a big 'Thank you' for all of your work and posts on enabling different capabilities of our Escapes.

 

[crunchyfrog]

I wanted to share some information I got from the motorcraftservice.com as built data for my vehicle (2020 SEL) and a 2020 Titanium (vin from ford) and compared those along with my hero's, @360alaska, recommendations. For my vehicle at least, it does not appear I need to do anything in the ABS module as already suggested in earlier posts. At least for me, it also confirms that the changes recommended match the 2020 Titanium (with lane centering) when compared with the 2020 SEL. I highlighted in red the pertinent differences between the SEL and the others. Right now, my better half does not want me to do this (it is her car) so I am holding off for now but I really would like to try it. Not that lane centering is the same technology, I got to ride in a self steering Tesla once, on a winding country road, and it did fine though it was a bit unnerving.

 

[GregWinslow]

A big thank you to @360alaska and others for their work and communication on this. I made this mod today and am super excited to add this feature to my 2020 SE Sport Hybrid with Premium Package.

 

[Fred.puma]

Hello,

@360alaska thank you for the great tutorial. Did anyone by any chance try whether this will work on a car with manual transmission?

 

[360alaska]

I don’t believe so.

 

[Fred.puma]

Thanks for the reply. May I als how you come to that conclusion? Do you think that it’s due to different Modules in automatic and manual cars or because the traffic jam assist might not work?

 

[360alaska]

Yes, lane centering does not work without traffic jam assist enabled and TJA can’t be enabled without stop and go ACC.

Update: 5/10/21

Clarifications based on feedback:

• To be very clear, your forscan adapter must support MSCAN.
• You must clear your DTCs after programming all modules.
• As of this moment, you must use the forscan beta listed to program abs values.
• Added separate values for Hybrid Vehicles.

Lane centering assist is truly amazing technology, when I got my titanium escape I thought it was the coolest feature. It makes highway driving truly effortless when combined with ACC. In order to complete this mod you must already have ACC with stop/go. For a 2020 escape, the IPMA(camera) is exactly the same whether you’ve got a SE or a titanium. (LJ6T-19H406-CD) It's just a matter of turning it on, the only part that is needed it the lane center buttons and even with that, you may be able to activate lane center without the lane center buttons. Feel free to test it by enabling it in forscan without changing the SCCM settings.

Here is a basic idea of how to access the steering wheel buttons by removing the airbag:


1. It is recommend to disconnect the 12v battery and wait 20 minutes ensure the supply to the airbags is drained.
2. Remove the upper steering column shroud by prying with a trim tool between the upper and lower column shroud.
3. With the steering wheel in the 90 degree position insert a flat blade screwdriver and pry up to release one side of the airbag. Rotate the wheel to the left to 270 degrees and do the same for the other side.

4. Disconnect the horn connector
5. Disconnect the two airbag connectors by prying up on the orange clips and then remove the connectors and set the airbag aside.

6. Disconnect the electrical connectors to the left and right button packs and gently pry the trim surround out with a trim tool.
7. Swap the button pack by removing and replacing two torx screws.

HI, Bro, it is an amazing thing you have done, I have a lincoln nautilus 2.0 T 21MY, with ACC ,stop&go, just wondering if same code can work on my car. thanks

 

[360alaska]

It might, worth a try? I would’ve thought any nautilus with acc would have lca?

My Nautilus has ACC with LKA but no LCA.

I have the adaptor and forscan in hand and will try it follow your mod to see if it works. Now , I am comparing the ABT with two different trim of this car.
